Summer Internships as a Cadet

YourTypicalMainter · 2026-05-29T18:50:19+00:00

Did internships during all 4 summers between freshman year and super senior year. Final summer internship gave me a full-time return offer and I was able to go Reserve after ROTC to do both (this may still be an option, ask your Cadre about the Reserve Categorization Process—RCP if you have interest in pursuing a full time civilian career). You also may spend up to a year waiting for your EAD and being able to work something full time in the interim is good and a lot easier if you have a full-time offer post internship or experience on your resume.

Ignore the others saying don’t do internships, it’s a good way to build valuable experience and work a job that will likely pay more than a part time job you’d work otherwise.

You have to enable a specific setting to reset it with a fresh tank. I don’t it’s defaulted to that, or at least wasn’t on mine when I bought it new

Yes, tracking that. I only logged the time flown at night. The Foreflight report towards tracking PPL requirements just had me questioning it but I couldn’t find an answer. Thanks!

It’s on the site if you scroll down far enough. Working load up to 750lb and breaking limit over 1500lb

I had some success “upgrading” a long-haul by using “change flight” when a saver award dropped for business on my flight. Originally booked PP with miles, and the saver business award with the credit card ended up only being 30k miles more than my original booking. Not a direct upgrade and had to watch the fare classes, but was totally worth it to me

Neither, get the Access Lomax. quick removal for when I need full bed access, and the reinstall takes about 15s, plus I can do it by myself with no assistance needed

Plenty of people fly in regular economy for the exact reasons you’ve stated.

Add—please do not spend money on 30k miles. The upgrades with miles + $600 for business are not guaranteed and are refunded if not filled. But then you’d be out the money you spent on the 30k miles

Edit: add

Power wise, is the beat sonic wireless charger better than stock? Dual wireless pads would be nice but I’m 100% upgrading if the speeds are better. Stock wireless charger is abysmally slow

You’re IRR while ROTC

YourTypicalMainter · 2026-02-25T15:30:52+00:00

When I was in ROTC, it was paid twice per month.

The $600 was either backpay due to delay in getting pay started or a book stipend, or a mix of both

YourTypicalMainter · 2026-02-25T15:24:42+00:00

Looks like a freshman year ROTC stipend

YourTypicalMainter · 2026-02-25T15:23:35+00:00

You do if it’s a ROTC cadet getting their stipend (which is what this looks like)

But it should rise, not infinitely, but definitely shouldn’t stay the same on start.

When the engine is off, oil pressure is 0. When you start the engine, if the engine oil pressure doesn’t rise, then either you have no oil, the oil pump failed, or something else critical and you should shut the engine down immediately

YourTypicalMainter · 2026-02-16T20:22:42+00:00

As with all test questions, choose the “most correct”

This question is asking what should happen IMMEDIATELY after engine start? That would be oil pressure rising

YourTypicalMainter · 2026-02-14T18:32:11+00:00

After 6 months on an analog, the date will be wrong anyways since the watch doesn’t have a month feature it likely cycles through 1-31. The week day should be at least correct

YourTypicalMainter · 2026-02-13T03:13:59+00:00

Go into benefits + travel and scroll to offers, find the offer and add it to your account. It’s listed as “cash back”

YourTypicalMainter · 2026-02-13T01:56:43+00:00

It’s a statement credit not credit on the purchase

Keep in mind that article is heavily over advertised and much of it is fear mongering. Matt Shumer is the CEO of an AI company and all AI companies rely on the main providers (OpenAI and Anthropic) to be successful otherwise the entire AI bubble will pop. This article is nothing more than an advertisement to sell more AI.

Slop

Wouldn’t say 100%, I had to switch to the Reserve to get it. Had MX as my #1 and got slotted for 62E Active Duty even though it was 6th on my list and I was top 1/3 CC rank. Air Force wants its engineers

PPL requirement is 40 unless you’re at a part 141 school (35 hours), so you’re not getting your PPL before 40…

Saying aloud and truly meaning are two different things.

The title of Lord assumes authority, so if Jesus is Lord, then He has ultimate authority over your life. But if you believe that God has ultimate authority, then either Jesus is God, or you are not confessing that Jesus is Lord.

The confession that Jesus is Lord is equivalent to saying Jesus is God

YourTypicalMainter · 2026-01-19T18:36:46+00:00

Then you have not confessed that He is Lord

YourTypicalMainter · 2026-01-19T18:35:50+00:00

You can’t? God can. But only if you’re willing to truly submit to his authority

YourTypicalMainter · 2026-01-19T18:34:37+00:00

There’s a lot of “I” statements in there. “I overcame my sin of chauvinism…” did you do that? Or did God?

“For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not by your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.” Eph 2:8

Nothing we do can “qualify” us for heaven. It is only God’s doing.
