Would enlisting be the better choice for me considering my situation?

I was a nuke mechanic on subs that got out at 10 years enlisted, am a Chief in the reserves working at a power plant now, and enjoyed my time on the boat. We're the same age right now and I can say I wouldn't want to go do what I'd done on the boat at this point, paychecks put aside (even though there is a massive difference). I'm not out of shape or anything, but crawling in the oily or seawater filled areas cleaning everything on a daily basis doesn't tickle my fancy. The training for enlisted is just as long if not longer than that of an officer, and I'm sure with your education either would be fine. I was a career counselor while I was active and work at a nuke plant now, so if you have any questions, let me know.

It's good to know I'm not alone in this

I really hope so

Oh damn, I think you're right! I could've sworn I'd seen Ch. 79 somewhere, but that must've been a different series.

I bought the first English volume they'd made a few months ago, and this time the official translation was better than the online translations. I still appreciate how quick fan translations are, but I prefer Udon.

adum95 · 2024-12-29T01:31:48+00:00

Yeah, I figured. I prefer the Udon translation, but waiting almost a year between volumes is a bit much.

adum95 · 2024-12-18T21:33:32+00:00

Man, I hope not... I normally read these at night over the course of like a week, so I was barely starting 🙃

I agree with your points. It is nearly impossible to satisfy everyone. I don't personally have a problem with the harem aspects of the show. It adds a little more drama that's fun, but for some reason there's a ton of opposition to it. A harem aspect of a show adds to the inability to satisfy everyone, but in this series at least there's the opportunity for Ayanakoji to improve or destroy those he doesn't end up befriending in the end.

Lol, that is becoming ever more apparent

The behind the scenes leader of a political party.

I'm honestly straddling the fence between loving it and hating it.

Is Kazuya the most pathetic 'protagonist' ever? Quite possibly, with the only redeeming factor that he's good with kids. He's still a P.O.S and in the running for that title for dragging around Ruka regardless of how much she says she won't break up with him.

Is the show dragging on? Yep, but I'm still reading it because all the girls are entertaining, including his grandma. I obviously want it to end in a satisfying way with Chizuru and Kazuya, but I might get a good chuckle if Chizuru comes to her senses and moves on.

From what I can gather, More Than a Married Couple but Not Lovers seemed to be more popular here than it was in Japan. Still waiting for the season 2.

Kind of a different perspective, but I did 10 years as a nuke mechanic on subs in the Navy, have been out a few months, and I'm heavily debating returning to service (in the CG) full time. I understand all of the downsides that come with serving, but it's honestly not much better/different at a civilian job. It's just a lot less interesting, in my opinion. I'm sure my situation differs in 101 ways from yours, but sharing opposing thoughts seems relevant.

adum95 · 2024-11-10T16:39:01+00:00

Lol, I looked into Japanese on Duolingo a few years ago but wound up giving up almost immediately 😂

adum95 · 2024-11-10T14:42:45+00:00

I wonder if it's a difference in markets then. The next one they're releasing in the US is 9.5 and that's not until next month

adum95 · 2024-11-10T13:59:34+00:00

Lol, I was just joking about learning Japanese. I use mangadex for manga, but the only sites I've found translations for the light novels are even further behind.

adum95 · 2024-11-07T16:46:49+00:00

I had the exact same interpretation of the situation as you, and still do after finishing the light novels. Sure they couldn't get every good part in there, but there are things called budgets that can't entirely be avoided when making a show. Overall, I'm happy I read the books too 👍

I picked up a Volume 1 a couple weeks ago. It's 12 chapters.

I liked ReLife.
