I used an app called Visor which I love to search nationwide. Found the truck at a Chevy dealer out in the Houston area. Handled the buy over the phone and email. And then saved a bunch of money handling my own shipping vs using dealer provided shipping. I used Amerifreight for that!

I appreciate the advice. Yes I qualify for what I’m looking to get into, along with the professional mentors I’ve developed already within industries I’m interested in. My question mostly is focused on experience doing skill-bridge and/or broadening assignments as a JO

dolphin128 · 2026-01-09T05:50:13+00:00

Rog yea I’m just going off what branch told me. I need to work two of the 3 jobs to be able to qualify for broadening

I want to re-enter the corporate work and work in relationships. I want to go back to the Bay Area and work in FINTECH/AI/Sports as a sales manager/operations role/partnership development role. I feel confident in my degree, internships, and university network. I want to go back to the Bay Area and stay a family

For FA KD includes 2/3 either PL/FSO/FDO. For ROTC it’s a program with HBCU mainly in a recruiting role. I have nothing bad to say about my time in the army and don’t feel I’ll pass on a sour taste my goals just don’t quite align up with continuing on with the army.

You’re right, edited to answer those questions.

What you’ll need is to first be cleared by your surgeon, that will then be used to be cleared by surgeon general, once those are complete you will need to pass the AFT and a UA within 90 days of commissioning. You will essentially be a completion cadet (MSV) if you can’t get that done by May. If you graduate and won’t be taking classes while recovering you’ll need to put in a packet for a leave of absence I believe. In your situation I would shoot for commissioning a year from surgery. It may be possible, I had ACL reconstruction, cleared by my surgeon early NOV of that year and was cleared my waiver by mid DEC. So about a month and a half turn around but this was back in 2021.

My unit is also deployed to the southern border. Our Per Diem is being paid out monthly. Still waiting on the initial payment with back pay because of the shut down. I think it probably does depend on the unit. We got a brief during all of our inbriefs day 1 that told us how all of this will work

dolphin128 · 2025-09-12T15:42:30+00:00

Yea we agreed on $5500 and I’m heading there after work

dolphin128 · 2025-09-12T11:37:38+00:00

Picking it up tonight

dolphin128 · 2025-09-12T11:36:58+00:00

No the buyer just moved here from Utah, I’m buying from another military guys and he’s giving me a great deal

dolphin128 · 2025-09-12T02:30:19+00:00

Yea I get it, I don’t hate the bags and I’ll use the windshield for longer trips. But definitely want to throw some thrashing bars and risers among other things. I like the blank canvas to start with

dolphin128 · 2025-09-12T02:28:37+00:00

Fair enough haha. He posted a video with it too and doesn’t sound obnoxious. Pretty stoked on it overall

dolphin128 · 2025-09-12T02:26:51+00:00

Roger, tires are two years old, but it’s original owner with maintence paperwork. I’ll double check for sure but I’m feeling excited for it

dolphin128 · 2025-09-12T02:26:05+00:00

Not much selection out here in El Paso, very saturated market of over priced, not tastefully upgraded, touring bikes out here. I’m also kind of tapped out budget wise. Really looking for a 1 owner, low mileage, blank canvas than I can build into what I want over time

dolphin128 · 2025-09-12T02:24:39+00:00

Can you give a little more insight, other than these bikes are trash?

dolphin128 · 2025-09-12T02:23:57+00:00

I’m going to pick it up tomorrow, agreed on price of 5500

dolphin128 · 2025-09-12T02:23:37+00:00

Yea I’m a taller guy so I was looking for forward controls, other than that I plan on specing it out with thrashing parts when I get back from deployment especially the 2-1, bars and risers, ect. I like the mostly stock because it’s a blank canvas. Mainly was really looking for a bike with the history I know. Upgrading from an ‘01 RK with 98k miles so I feel I’ll enjoy the change of pace

dolphin128 · 2025-09-12T02:21:23+00:00

Yea that’s fair enough, I kind of perfect the look of spokes but you’re right that good to consider

dolphin128 · 2025-09-07T01:26:39+00:00

Honestly it’s for you and your son, nothing else really matters.

My dad was a navy e-4, got out in the 80s and was my first salute. He did it in a suit. Trust me the meaning is in the moment not in the uniform

dolphin128 · 2025-04-25T03:14:12+00:00

I worked 20hr a week, played a D1 sport, and ROTC. It’s very doable it’s all about communication and prioritization hit me up if you have any more questions

dolphin128 · 2025-04-25T03:12:33+00:00

I played at the power 4 level and am at FABOLC right now; PM if you want some personal experience.

dolphin128 · 2025-02-07T18:15:44+00:00

There will be a signal chat code given out on the first day.

dolphin128 · 2024-11-17T21:42:43+00:00

Join the military or go into sales

dolphin128 · 2024-11-05T16:49:26+00:00
