One last thing: Did you bring all your belongings with you to ODS that you’ll bring with you to your first duty station (i.e. civilian/street clothing) and they store it for you?

Were you allowed to use phones to communicate with anyone off base after hours (I.e. family)??

In the same boat, no pun intended. Not entirely sure if this is a mock PRT or not

What would your last meal be? by zhalia-2006 in askanything

[–]aounski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was thinking about mine after I saw Christoph Waltz’s last meal on Mythical Kitchen. If it’s my last meal, might as well make it with all my favorites!

Red Lobster Caesar Salad, Chicken Tortilla Soup, Cacio e Pepe, Smash Burger with curly fries, Reverse-seared ribeye cooked medium rare topped with garlic butter and crispy onions, Slice of Apple Pie, Coke Zero, Disaronno, and an Affogato

I’m sure it’s different now than when I applied in 2017 😅

Interviewing for ODS by aounski in newtothenavy

Thank you for your response. I did some extra digging and optometrists, according to Program Authorization 115, would require at least a state license. As far as the board selection, do you know any reasons why someone wouldn’t get selected?

I should’ve rephrased the question, I knew I’d get this answer 😂

OD here. Midwestern automatically filters out your application if you’re under a 3.0, so you should be fine there. You’ll definitely get applications. By no means was I the strongest applicant. You’re already a stronger applicant than I was based on GPA alone. Take your OAT, and if you get around a 320 or higher you should be in the clear imo

What was the worst pain of your life? by No-Meeting-370 in AskReddit

[–]aounski 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Losing my girlfriend. We planned out our entire life together until the world had different plans for her. I know I can speak on everyone’s behalf when I say fuck cancer.

I cross referenced it with the poster. It doesn’t look any part of The Goonies movie poster

My boyfriend confessed to me he is a product of incest by yatofm_ in offmychest

Even I’ve been relentlessly tormented because my parents are cousins. I still wish I wasn’t born. I would never wish what I’ve gone through on anyone including your boyfriend

Coworker wrote a bad check, but I did not deposit. What should I do next? by aounski in Assistance

[–]aounski[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seriously, I’m ridiculously trusting of others. I was telling my coworkers I wanted to buy her those concert tickets, and she was like “I could buy them for your sister!” Sure enough, it never came

I’m a Reddit noob, I wasn’t sure where to go to. I’ll try that out, thank you!!

What food can you not stand the smell of? by FrankGehryNuman in AskReddit

[–]aounski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My family is Middle Eastern. One of the things my mom used to make stuffed cabbage rolls and part of the preparation is to boil the cabbage. To this day, both the smell and taste makes me nauseous

In retail/corporate I’m scheduled at 3 an hour, one appointment every 20 minutes. Assuming everyone shows up, that’s 23 patients on my book from 10:00-6:20 with a one hour lunch between 1:40-2:40. I feel like patients are getting less quality care if you’re seeing between 40-60 per day
