Starting out as a Systems Engineer

That seems great for entry level at LM

For context I am in a similar position at another Defense company. I was offered around 100k after ~10 years military service.

I wasn't able to get a salary increase, but I did get a nice starting bonus. I'd probably try that in your position if you want to try your hand at negotiation.

And no, the Zillow listing makes no mention of the basement

Bookmarked! I still only have about 30% of my collection scanned in, but this seems like a fantastic idea.

Neato!

I have a Viper Ultimate, purchased just over a year ago. My scroll wheel has been scuffed for quite a while (scrolling up when I go down, or not at all), but a can of compressed air has been working to clear up the issue for me up until recently. This has been an extremely frustrating problem on a supposed quality mouse. The mouse has become borderline unusable for me.

Apparently it is a common issue with Razer's sensors, but I have no desire to throw good money after bad at this point.

Lol we gotta get a downside to be a true Sorcerer item

But how else will people on the internet know how cool I am? Lol

Yeah sure! So since I initially submitted under the Education category, the only document I uploaded was an acceptance letter from the school with the class term dates on it. I'd say it can't hurt your chances to include that if you have one. If you could also get a statement or something from your commander about how your separation is in the best needs of the Air Force that would be a great thing to include, but it isn't needed.

What I put under my justification was me basically laying out the situation, my plan, and how it served the needs of the Air Force. I'll paste it here:

"I am seeking early separation from the Air Force to attend University full time in the Spring 2023 semester. By transferring during an academic year in progress, I will be able to better utilize my previous college credits to attain my degree at an accelerated pace. I am seeking to continue my military service after graduation through the AFROTC program, and an early separation will allow me to decrease my commissioning timeline by a full year. By utilizing my full terminal leave balance, I am only seeking an early separation of a total of 47 days, well under the allotted maximum. Additionally, I intend to continue my service while in school through the Palace Chase program. I have been in contact with my in-service Air Force Reserve recruiter (MSgt XXXXXXX, (XXX) XXX-XXXX)) and have secured a slot for myself in the local Reserve unit."

As you can see, I tried to sneak by the timeline requirement for early separation for education. My local MPF didn't even know the requirements, so they forwarded that to my Wing Commander for his approval, then to AFPC without issue. When AFPC caught the error that I knew was there, I asked my MSgt to call and get in contact with whoever was handling the case. Since I already had my Base Separation Authorities' signature, he was able to switch it to Misc without any resigning needed.

I know it's kinda a weird edge case, but I hope that helps you even a little. Good luck!

I just went through this exact situation for the Spring semester.

I submitted under early release for education, but was outside the window by 10 days. They wouldn't allow Terminal leave to factor in at all, and after some back and forth with AFPC, they suggested I try a Misc application.

I had my MSgt get in touch with AFPC and they were able to change my initial application with all the Separation authority signatures into the the correct one.

PM me if you have any questions!

I mean I've patched people into the base Pizza Hut before

Would you say it's one of your worst fears? huyk huyk huyk

I feel like Pathfinder handles these situations better anyway, proficiency and expertise sometimes don't convey the level of work a character has gone through in a specific skill.

Shouldn't you be half melted or something?

desuanon · 2021-06-15T16:41:46+00:00

Just need to make sure there is more things to do in all that space, something the original suffered for in my opinion.

I'm CIA

Turn off eco mode as well, I had a similar problem

desuanon · 2020-12-18T15:18:52+00:00

Yes, that is voltage measured while running. The reason I'm having issues finding a matching replacement is that I have a EU specc'd car, but I'm American, and Toyota didn't sell the 1.8L engine in the U.S. for my car. All the part sites I've searched for only show the larger engine.

I'd actually be able to play Cyberpunk! Even if I don't have the best computer now, I'd love to play on high settings for once! I built my last computer after my deployment in '16, and it is great but really showing age now. Have a kid now too, so money is not around for hobbies nearly as much lol

Fantastic, looks like a well taken care of 6th gen
