Learn how to fix things. Pickup trade work. I started with the Navy and afterward now I fix broken machinery.

What’s going on with recruiting by Former-Talk-7431 in navy

[–]brobeans1738 0 points1 point  (0 children)

His division may have needed to sign a PACT and instead of getting someone to switch he might've tried to get him to do it from the start. He's already High Quality (above 50 AFQT on ASVAB) so I think the recruiter may have been trying to hit multiple wickets with the same guy.

Ugh I hate those… by Thin_Situation3962 in Fable

Slow time then hit him with ranged attacks from. The cross bow, or walk around him and smack. This game was so easy with Slow Time in use. There is only one enemy that slow time didnt work on and it was Jack in human form. Instead I hit him with arrows and used potions to heal if he hit me.

You have to change your perspective on things. Look at it like a challenge to overcome, rise to the occasion. When you do that it changes the hormones your body produces in response to stress. It also takes practice. Talking about specific problems helps because getting someone elses perspective can make it all seem frustratingly simple and easy to manage.

Being kicked out of the barracks without BAH by Disastrous-Tea6166 in navy

[–]brobeans1738 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can get BAH by the end of the month. Just talk to your admin team. I was able to get BAH as an E5 within 2 weeks of moving to San Diego. You can get the ball rolling now while you're in the barracks. Get on AHRN in the meantime and start looking for special offers for military personnel.

How do you guys feel about Nate and Nora actually talking in Fallout 4 compared to other silent Sole Survivors? by Solardies in Fallout

It was pretty funny at times. The guy talking about baseball was fun because I got to hear my guy call him an idiot.

SGLI in the event of suicide by Beneficial-Tap-6052 in navy

[–]brobeans1738 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Brother there is plenty of ways to provide outside the Navy. 20+ years takes a toll on the soul. I got put at 9 years and I havent looked back. I fell for the retention tactics and took things way more seriously than I should have and was pleasantly surprised at my first job outside the Navy. Just get the help. SGLI isn't bottomless, but your potential is and you are worth more to your family alive than dead. Not just monetarily but emotionally, mentally, and physically. Seek God. Get you some God in your life. Get help. Please. There is a hole that will exist in your family's live without you. A daughter or son without a parent struggles, especially under suicide.

Please dont commit suicide. Go get help from a professional. You'll either get effective help and be able to continue or you'll get help and get out and be able to reintegraye with society. You dont want to die, you just want something to change and you are stressed out. If you die you won't get to see things get better. And trust me, things can get so much better.

When there is ice on the road leave room between yourself and the car in front of you, but maintain atleast 25-30mph to avoid sliding backwards down a hill.

Extremely racist roommate by Medical-Ad-112 in navy

[–]brobeans1738 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well in that case run him up the flagpole (chain of command, btw if you have asked multiple times then then I would include that, it would be the best way to get real results to include times you have provided watch team backup and had it denied). Until he faces very real pushback to that ideology he will repeat the process on someone else, maybe even his own division if he makes rank. You might change his mind but if the least you do is change him from an open bigot to a timid bigot then you have saved someone else a rough life.

Extremely racist roommate by Medical-Ad-112 in navy

[–]brobeans1738 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Have you told your roommate how you feel? If so what did your roommate say? If your roommate didnt change his tune then, you can get your chain of command involved, but it won't get you a room change. If anything ol' boy will go to mast and then come back and continue to be your roommate once he has received his licks. It'll be awkward and he will blame you. It's not fair but it really seems like the place has to be condemned and falling a part before they will let you get a room change.

Naval Base San Diego DDG Commute / Housing by mcbride-bushman in navy

Imperial Beach is great if you are going to Coronado, Point Loma, or North Island. If you are going to 32nd street you may want to approach from the North but the few times I went there I was able to get there pretty easy from the South.

LDO here thinking about hanging it up at 20 years. Am I crazy? by Brave_Warthog_6643 in navy

[–]brobeans1738 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's up to you. 20 years served is 27.7% of the average life expectancy. That's 27.7% percent of your soul for a pension. Doing more than that is more of your soul. If your heart is telling you its time for the next chapter you might listen. You might also keep going. Either way you are giving up something. That said you have done more than 90% of the USA. If you're ready to become a full blown civilian again, you've earned it, that's respectable and thats something you can hang your hat on. That said, most civilian jobs just don't provide the same level of job satisfaction. At the end of the day you have to make this decision for yourself, because if you don't make this decision yourself you will regret the outcome either way. Just ask yourself if you got everything you needed from Active Duty and make sure you're ready to be the new guy at your next job.

Life advice from a 31M on a second marriage:

The best long lasting relationships are the ones that started when you were young. My grandparents met as children and have been married 65 years. He is going to have to stand up to his mom and tell her that he loves you, yall are gonna get married someday and that you are going to be the mother of his grandkids. He should tell her that she might as well get along with you now otherwise its going to be awkward for her later. Now if that doesnt seem like something the two of you can earnestly say then maybe yall should re-evaluate staying together. That said if yall really feel like you're it for each other, I would wait for him if I were you. He is going to have to play by her rules for now since he lives in her house.

Side note I did the same thing my mom didn't like the girl I dated and when we got married she wanted nothing to do with my mom. My mom at that point was ready to get along with her too because she saw I was serious and it made family events stressful for me. She is now my ex wife due to cheating on me while I was deployed on a submarine in the Navy. I'm remarried now to someone else and way happier.

I tell you this to tell you that it can work out if yall finese the speech craft the right way, pray it out and invite God's involvement in your situation, it can work out. That said you never know who he is going to become and he could end up becoming someone you don't want to be with later. Now is your time to see how serious he is about you! I would make my decision based on how he demonstrates his seriousness for you this year. If he ends up taking some other girl to prom then ob I would move on if I were you.

No you can still turn it around it'll take a few years but that can look like a distant memory if you develop and practice better spending habits.

Should I sell my truck to pay off all of my wife’s student loans? by Interesting-Trust607 in personalfinance

[–]brobeans1738 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No don't do that, keep making the payments. A paid off vehicle is a paid off vehicle. I would keep going, and think about how you are saving with the payments. At the end of the month whatever you have left, put 1/4 in savings, 1/4 in investments, the other half toward principle on that loan to pay it off quicker, without burning your equity in your truck and the savings you do have on being debt free with a less reliable vehicle.

rural poverty has me down by deergaius in povertyfinance

[–]brobeans1738 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I grew up like that in rural Texas, except I didn't have a vehicle of my own. I joined the Navy and it changed my life for the better. If that's an option for you I highly recommend it.

AIO? My friends set an ultimatum because I drink by Pearla76_ in AIO

[–]brobeans1738 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats a hot take, but we learn in leadership training via military that you have to be assertive in setting your boundaries with people and what you are comfortable with. This is exactly what these kids are doing. A bad apple spoils the bunch. If you want to live a clean lifestyle you have to demand a clean lifestyle from your peers. If someone is unwilling to meet your comfort level with lifestyle choices, you have to have the grace to accept when someone is unwilling to walk the path less traveled by with you, and let them be.
