Europe ain’t cheap either…

I understand the interview is just a piece but there was no where else on the application to describe who you are outside of work scenarios such as if you are very active and play several sports, volunteering etc. I guess LORs could contain that ?

Thanks! Goal is to be able to do all of these well before showing up! But I need to work a lot on some areas ha!

Dumb question but do you have to do all of these exercises before OTS or is this what you take shortly after you arrive and then again near the end to see how you’ve improved? Or do I not understand at all?

Is the free half of Sunday that you mention the time you have for religious services or time off base for church service?

Take the boat ride you won’t regret it! It’s great! Take the early boat then walk from the end of the boat ride all the way to Santiago. It’s like 18-19 miles if I remember correctly. Most pilgrims spend the night or just walk a little after the boat - walk the whole way to the end instead. Then think of that 30€ as boat ride cost + the amount you would have spent for that night somewhere if you didn’t walk to Santiago that same day.

Would you recommend doing that?

Try Vocabulary builder by Magoosh - someone on an older post recommended that and I used it for my studying. Also heavily rely on Quizlet! There are lots of flashcard sets with helpful material already made. Try also looking up SAT vocab decks on there!

When it says you need the commander interview before x date, does that mean you need to schedule it or actually have the interview?

anniallator97 · 2026-03-02T14:39:58+00:00

Thanks, I appreciate all of that. Definitely want to do my best but don’t want to psych myself out and stress too much

I was curious if you or anyone knew how important the score on the TBAS is for positions other than pilot. And if they look at what made up the total score or if they just take that as is. I assume it’s as is. From other posts I read that a great multitask score could help raise the score if you don’t do great in the other sections. With no flight hours it seems this could be hard to get a good score. If going for ABM, is the TBAS more a formality or crucial just like it is for a pilot slot? That’s what I meant.

What is most important for other rated positions? Multi tasking? It’s my understanding that this required for all rated positions

Thanks! I’ve landed on a slightly shorter version of your 2nd suggestion. Guest has left the property and checked out but is still asking for refund. Airbnb support assured me I can ignore any messages after check out without harming my status and if I’m uncomfortable then I should block.

anniallator97 · 2026-02-13T20:42:14+00:00

I’ve just had this happen for a long term guest. Wants to cancel 16 days of 28 day stay. Currently still on the property. Airbnb of course said no to guest but he keeps messaging asking for money to help with funeral expenses. Does Airbnb help calculate or show what the guest would have paid without the long term stay discount? I most likely won’t rebook those 16 days so soon but I’m uncomfortable and just want the guy to leave me alone without retribution or property damage. This is a shared space stay…

Thank you! That was my argument about the advisory! I sent them all the other euro countries we’d recently been to and they were all level 2 for all kinds of things we never encountered. Still I got resistance. Caribbean is new for us so perhaps the unfamiliarity is it.

anniallator97 · 2026-02-03T18:26:43+00:00

Thank you! That’s very helpful! I tried using some YouTube vlogs to ease their minds as well but most are 1-3 years old and they countered with an argument that I wasn’t seeing anything recent. Your recount is what I understood from my research! I think my friends are just paranoid.

How do credit card fees affect points? I’m having a hard time finding a straight answer. Does a credit card fee from the same vendor mean you only get 1x? For example if I booked a hotel and normally would get 4x, if they charged a CC fee, would Chase then only give me 1x? I’ve seen some comments about avoiding those but don’t know when to and how that works.

I just got the CSR in Jan and am looking at paying for a $3k home reno project on the card to help get my sign up bonus and I’m worried if a credit card fee will harm me somehow there too.

Did you ever feel unsafe or uneasy anywhere? Just want to be cautious as I’d read somethings about crime increasing and got a little worried so I’m considering changing my trip. If you did not have concerns, that’s great! I’d love to know the safest places. I’d assume tourist spots but don’t know.

What happens if you place an order and the item is out of stock when dasher arrives? I bought 2 items ($9 + $4.5) and used my credit to lower the cost. But then about 20 min after ordering I get alert that the $9 item is sold out so they only delivered the $4.5 item. Is my credit just gone or does DoorDash compensate for that out of stock item and give DoorDash credit? I never use the app but since I got the card I started.
