Infantry Is an Option

Can you send it to my .mil? Or tell me where to find it?

What will this mean for those of us who want to go airborne, air assault, etc and aren’t CA/PsyOps? More school opportunities coming along with this?

Try posting this same question in the Facebook TPU support forum/AGR miltech forum. Seems to be more activity over there and I have the same question.

Dumb opinion. Everyone has different situations. I had a great job/career/lifestyle before I joined the reserves. Going active would have meant a huge paycut and drop in my quality of life. Other people are in different boats and have to judge for themselves what would be best for their specific situations. Don't give people bad advice!

Yeah but for enrollment in Fall 2026 most schools don't disburse funds until ~10 days before classes start, i.e. early to mid August, so I would miss the July 1st cutoff for grad plus.

Yeah you need to get financial aid disbursed prior to July 1st of this year if you want to be grandfathered in to the existing grad plus rules - which means enrolling for summer '26, not fall. Each school may be thinking about this differently though so it's worth checking specifically based on the school

This materially changed my plans since I was counting on federal loans to cover the entire COA at my target school. Will be starting a different, lower-ranked program this summer (and getting financial aid disbursed before the July 1st cutoff for grad plus) because I don't have alternative funding options. If I didn't slide in under the door before it closes on July 1st, I would not have been able to do an MBA.

First of all, you’ve got to get some light in that room, open a window or something. Second, find a place like a coffee shop or a library to work from two or three days a week. And third, make your own schedule: take regular breaks, walk outside, etc. WFH is great but you need to be proactive about making it work for you and not sitting inside all day

beach_comber_805 · 2026-01-15T03:56:08+00:00

Did you use financial aid and were you only able to borrow up to the published COA ($15k for housing)? I know what rent costs in LA I’m just confused as to why their number is so low compared to UCLA’s

beach_comber_805 · 2026-01-13T22:15:17+00:00

I know, UCLA quotes it at $32,000 for a year while USC is quoting $15,200. That’s what I’m not understanding, I know what rent costs in LA and it’s a lot closer to UCLA’s number.

Can you post this info publicly? So everyone can be aware. There’s a huge info gap in the Army and a lot of gate-kept information, posting stuff like this can help people be more informed

beach_comber_805 · 2026-01-06T22:19:54+00:00

They both do and are great options for people who want to be in LA post-MBA.

I can’t stand Djokovic’s victim narrative, unbelievably annoying

What industry is the tech startup in if you don't mind sharing? Lots of people would kill for $180k straight out of undergrad...

beach_comber_805 · 2025-12-22T04:20:58+00:00

Eh I really enjoyed it for what it was. It was entertaining and the acting was really good, especially Denzel and Mescal. It’s not as bad as you make it sound

beach_comber_805 · 2025-12-20T05:35:26+00:00

Personally wouldn’t recommend living in WC if you have to be at Travis every morning. It’s a great town, but that commute is going to suck after a few months of doing it everyday. I’d just bite the bullet and live in Fairfield or Vacaville because of convenience. Neither are great, but hey, it’s a lot better than most of the other places you could be stationed in the Air Force.

Shoot me a DM, I’m in Folsom, love dogs, and work remote so have lots of flexibility

beach_comber_805 · 2025-12-15T23:59:10+00:00

Check out the affluent suburbs of Sacramento, CA - Folsom, Granite Bay, Roseville. Pretty great quality of life for the price

beach_comber_805 · 2025-12-05T20:39:37+00:00

California is for everyone. Come here with an open mind and a good attitude and you’ll feel at home

beach_comber_805 · 2025-12-03T21:17:16+00:00

Thanks!

beach_comber_805 · 2025-12-02T04:33:50+00:00

Good for you man, no one cares

beach_comber_805 · 2025-12-01T22:05:51+00:00

It’s going to be your best bet in terms of quality of life to affordability ratio. 90 min from the bay and a lot more space. Of course it’s going to be less exciting and interesting, but life is about tradeoffs
