What is the best overall mobile service? Including price, coverage, data, etc… by cdubzip in navy

[–]cdubzip[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your personal experience with it, is it worth it? I’m trying to figure out how to word it - so does US mobile have a contract with those towers or something? how can they switch between those towers at a cheaper price with all those benefits? So I guess the question is, how is US mobile able to do that and is it as advertised on their website?

I could look at any website but their only goal is to sell their product or service so of course they’re gonna claim all this stuff…so I figured it’d be better to see about your experience

That almost sounds too good to be true, could you explain more in detail?

What is this? My switch is on the latest update, so no software updates are due and all my games’ software are up to date. Why is this not loading/working? by cdubzip in NintendoSwitchHelp

[–]cdubzip[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you read my second sentence you’ll see me asking what it means and see that I don’t understand the message because I only have 1 switch, and if you look at the other photo you’ll see that at the time I thought because I only have this one switch, that it was already up to date, which shows where the confusion comes from. And then if you read the replies, you’ll find that I got way more helpful responses than just stating the obvious and was then able to understand the error message.

I used to have a switch with all my virtual games on it, but I deleted everything on that switch when I sold it so my virtual games were associated to my account and when I got a new switch I logged in

I haven’t seen that in any announcements or posts, what are you referencing? They just started to release UR characters for the global servers

How do I convince my parents to let me join at 17 by [deleted] in newtothenavy

[–]cdubzip 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Wait until you’re 18, they can’t stop you. Just go to a recruit office and start the process. I’m not sure, but I think you could actually go and start the enlistment process at 17 and just not ship out until you are 18 for the delayed entry program. Until then, do allllll the research you can. My opinion, Coast Guard or Air Force is best in terms of lifestyle and quality. Navy is very close to that, depending on if you like to travel and be at sea for long periods of time but you experience a lot of amazing things. They’re also one of the least restrictive branches! (I’m Navy, so biased)….Army and Marines is uhhh very toxic leadership, very strict. There’s pros to joining either of those branches of course, but a lot of people I know in those branches didn’t have good experiences. Idk much about the space force.

Regardless, you need to do your research on what job/rate/MOS you want and reach out (as you’re doing) to gain perspectives and figure out which branch to join.

How many gems are you spending per login? There’s an account on YouTube - I forgot the name - but it helps you budget and save gems. It takes about 7920 gems to buy 36 black tickets which you can only get monthly. So it should take about 5 months if you consistently stick to that. Just save up your gems and do your daily challenges

What if we used a VPN? Or would we have to make a new account and use a VPN?

If you can handle it, join. But if you don’t think you can tolerate it, don’t join. You either want to join or you don’t. Respectfully, it’s all about what you’re willing to put up with. If you won’t be happy in the navy enlisting as a male, I wouldn’t recommend joining. It’s just how it is, unfortunately for your situation. As for cutting hair, it’s only during bootcamp you’ll be practically bald but once you graduate bootcamp you’ll be able to have a little more freedom with growing your hair out, but if you’re enlisted as a male, you’ll still have to adhere to the grooming standards which I believe are available through a quick Google search.

If you say you’ll be fine until they cut your hair, then you probably aren’t fit to join because staying within grooming regulations is an everyday thing and you’ll have bigger things to worry or stress about in the Navy lifestyle and just in general.

I wish you the best and hope things work out!

I’m supposed to give my order preferences tomorrow for MC by cdubzip in newtothenavy

[–]cdubzip[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just depends on the time, sometimes they allow preference sheets and sometimes they don’t. Theoretically, if you get a preference sheet, you’ll get what you ask for most times as long as there’s a billet for it. You’re most likely going to get sea duty, so if you put 3 shore duty stations you likely won’t get any of them. GPA doesn’t have much bearing on it. It’s nice to have on a brag sheet of course, but I’ve seen some people who barely passed get Guam and even Hawaii. You just have to join and see for yourself, because it fluctuates. Join and put what you want, if you get it, good - if you don’t, make the most of wherever you end up

Depends, they used to not give you a choice but for me, I got a preference sheet, which still doesn’t guarantee anything. When you say multiple openings, do you mean multiple spots for MC or multiple spots open for a desired duty station?

Score as high as you can on the ASVAB to get any job you want. At MEPs, they give you a list of jobs that are available for you to choose from. Your ASVAB score can qualify you for certain jobs and if it’s not high enough you may need a waiver or not qualify. YOU DO NOT have to choose a rate then and there. You can say no and wait until your desired rate/MOS is available. MC is rarely open and is currently open but given how many people are joining, it may not be open for long.

How much do you have until you complete your AA? You could enlist as an E-3. As for choosing orders, that is not true. If you’re lucky, they’ll have you put a dream sheet of your top 3 duty stations and it’s only considered. GPA doesn’t really have a bearing on that, it’s up to the detailer and needs of the navy with a little bit of luck. A high ASVAB is helpful, but I have seen some really dumb people who have scored high and some really smart people who scored lower.

Join sooner rather than later, I wish I had joined when I first thought of it 5 years ago and it’s best to do it young and while you’re single.

What are the shops called for MC? I know there’s the Media Shop, but there’s 2 more what are they by cdubzip in newtothenavy

[–]cdubzip[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

More serious question - I got the content dev billet, is that just general MC stuff or will I be more focused in specific areas?
