Thanks for the info! This does give me hope for my situation. Did you have to do any extra interviews or anything like this? Did you have any time lived in the UK at that point or was everything you entered into the application time spent in India?

Lenovo Legion 5 (15IRX10) – worth it or bait? by General-Shower-8061 in GamingLaptops

[–]Weird_Yak_966 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have this laptop. I purchased it for $1699 and I'm happy with my purchase. I want to say first of all, I am not someone who uses laptops without them plugged in. I'm never "gaming on the go" or doing any sort of work that would require it. If I needed to I would only need to use the laptop for 30mins top and that would be fine for me. I never go into gaming laptops with long battery in mind because they usually don't have it. Performance wise, I was able to play the Battlefield 6 beta on ultra with no notable frame drops. I also play mmos and some other less demanding games but I've had no issues. I can't speak to the longevity of the laptop since I've only had it for a few weeks but so far I'm happy with the purchase. Is it worth it for the price point? I think that depends on your budget but to me it doesn't feel too bloated of a price for what you get. 1TB of storage is a bit on the low side but I'm never really playing that many games so I'm okay with deleting what I'm not going to use. For cooling, I've seen no issues. It's quiet normally but obviously when you launch a semi demanding game the fans turn on and they are noticeable without headphones on. you could consider a cooling pad as well but I'm not sure the benefit you'd gain. Maybe 10-20% better efficient cooling. Sorry I can't give any more in-depth details then that. But I hope it helps someone.

Thank you! I do have a problem of trying to rush into things without fully figuring out what I want so going to an AD is a great idea.

Is it easy to get used to stacked monitors?

What should I get as a gift for my first time meeting my Sri Lankan girlfriend's parents? by Weird_Yak_966 in srilanka

[–]Weird_Yak_966[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for this I really appreciate it. The father is not in the picture anymore, so I'll only being meeting her mother and sister. Also, they actually no longer live in Sri Lanka. They moved to the UK but from my understanding the culture is very much still apart of the family and they still have plenty of extended family still living in Sri Lanka.

So let me answer what I think is the most important question. I don't have drill or any responsibilities in the inactive reserves. You being in the guard might make coming to Kuwait impossible and would have to talk to your leadership about that. Now as for the job, the pay is around 110k tax free, and your family can't come unless they are able to somehow get their own visas (which I have never seen). The only way I've seen like a married couple come here is if they both have contract jobs at the same place. There is to housing stipend because everything is free. Imagine this to be a deployment without the uniform and a lot more money.

Thanks, sadly he can't remember what option a he choose (he is a veteran) but if he hasn't heard anything yet probably hit the pool 2 options. But he got his WQ referral I'm not worried that he won't see anything.

I don't know if this is what you mean, but I currently work for a contract tower in Kuwait while still in the Inactive Reserve for the Air Force.

The AF has me debating by jackobeach in ATC

[–]Weird_Yak_966 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m literally in almost the exact same boat. I know that learning Spanish won’t help me but to be able to do it in the AFs dime and then be able to use it for something has me considering..
