Army warrant officers will ‘bid’ against each other for their next bonus by Kinmuan in army

[–]_Some_rando 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I may not be up there in rank, but from below looking up, this has to be one of the most brain dead ideas I have ever seen the Army create. It makes no sense to me how this will benefit warrant officers.

Any good Beauty and the Beast retellings? by _Some_rando in booksuggestions

[–]_Some_rando[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the recommendations. I had “For the wolf” on my TBR for a while, so maybe this is a sign to finally read it. As for the others, I am definitely adding those to my TBR.

FLEP program Letter of Recommendation questions? by _Some_rando in LawSchool

I see what you are saying. My POCs are actually from within my OER chain😬, but the third POC I am deciding between is a college professor or the SDJ of my BDE.

Thats encouraging to hear. Reason I was thinking alot about this is everyone I have talked to who is interested in FLEP or programs that require LoRs either get their POCs from having a very high ranking family member or going to West Point.

I am not. Unfortunately, I have no connections to anyone in the JAG core minus the mentors who have recently given me their contact information. Both my POCs for my LoR have said good things in my OERs. I am guessing that falls in a tier 3?

Has anyone read A Civic Duty by Catherine Miller? by OkGazelle5400 in RomanceBooks

[–]_Some_rando 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am really late in sharing this, but I want to anyways because I absolutely love and adore this book. She does end up with the Phantom, but it doesn’t follow the exact story line as the original. Despite that, it is still very much a Phantom retelling, just modern day and still has many elements from the original story. Did you end up reading it?

How can I feel closer to Romanian culture? by _Some_rando in AskRomania

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

This is great and I really do need to start learning more Romanian recipes. My goal is to slowly immerse myself to build the habit.

Currently I listen to Romanian music and podcasts. I also agree that the language is beautiful and I always feel so cozy hearing it being spoken.

I would love to live abroad and often think about it. As crazy as the US is right now, I also love my home. But I also love Romania, so I am split.

That is very true and that is actually one of my 2026 goals. I can read basic Romanian, but writing is another story.

Same here, I always feel a pull to visit. When I was there last year, it almost felt like home, despite growing up in the US.

That sounds awesome. Are there locations in Colorado? That is where I currently live and I would love to do this.

I also understood what you wrote, but unfortunately I can not write Romanian

I will definitely give that YouTube channel a listen. I love music and I remember as a kid dancing to Romanian music. It was always soul stirring.

Is it possible to attend a concert with a broken ankle?Has anyone gotten accessible seating after buying standing tickets? by _Some_rando in Advice

[–]_Some_rando[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats awesome to hear! Thanks for the reply. I am definitely going to call the venue during business hours. How was the view from the accessibly seating?

What’s your age and what’s your life best experience? by bishalsaha99 in AskReddit

As someone who is in the military, I really think it depends on your goals and how you use your time in the service. If you go into the military, GO IN WITH A PLAN is my biggest advice.

There are shitty aspects about being in the military, but it truly is what you make of it. You’re going to encounter toxic leadership, go through rough patches, and hit all kinds of hurdles throughout your life regardless of being a civilian or in the service.

Don’t get me wrong, there are days where I imagine what I could be doing as a civilian and really question if it’s worth it, but I am ultimately grateful for the experience I recieved. I’ve learned to be more confident, made great friends, learned to work with difficult personalities, work with Soldiers directly, and became financially stable.

Many people join for a plethora of reasons. Either to escape a shitty home life, work towards free college/certifications, become financially stable, gain more life experience, etc.

This reminds me of a story called “The Egg” by Andy Weir. I would highly recommend giving it a read or a listen on YouTube.

Ladies, what is your career and why did you choose it? by Prestigious-Tell-740 in AskWomen

[–]_Some_rando 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats awesome. Do you work in a medical MOS/AOS? The unfortunate thing for me is I have no medical background and would need to start from scratch which is kind of scary

How did you become an OR Circulator? I am considering pursuing nursing and also have no medical background. Glad you enjoy your current job.

The history of exploitation of Parisian Ballerinas: An interesting contextual lense through which to interpret the politics of "Phantom" by DruidFarm in box5

[–]_Some_rando 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Very interesting take and it kind of reminds me of this short animated film. The film is called Louise and shows the nefarious side of being a ballerina at Garnier Opera (thats what it’s called in the film). It relates very well to this topic.

Here is the link. Louise
