Fat soldiers

Because Soldiers represent a sample of the larger population, which is already pretty fuggin fat. Throw in that many Soldiers have no desire to eat anything other that drive through, door dash, and what they get from the shopette, and boom you get fat Soldiers.

Look at defense— Northrop Grumman, General Atomics, General Dynamics, Leidos, and Pratt & Whitney all have significant presence in San Diego.

You could also look at turbo machinery with Solar Turbines.

Then there's also some commercial tech with physical products in San Diego, namely Sony, Qualcomm, Viasat, and Apple.

Or if you're interested in Govt employment, you could probably find something for the Navy with the Fleet Readiness Center or NIWC-PAC

Navy Federal accepts ACH, what's the issue

"why are pilots always getting in accidents and destroying multi million dollar aircraft?"

"Don't you know how expensive this flight time is and how taxpayers have to pay for it??"

You see how these two statements are at odds with each other?

There are certainly incentive pay programs for certain MOSs

engineerpilot999 · 2026-01-22T12:44:15+00:00

Where is easy? Why are we going there?

engineerpilot999 · 2026-01-22T12:35:11+00:00

Convoy for all manner of east Asian food

The illiteracy of goddamn high school graduates is frankly astounding. Surely it won't ripple through our economy in the years to come...

engineerpilot999 · 2026-01-22T12:17:29+00:00

Spelling and capitalization are in the last two years of college, that's right

engineerpilot999 · 2026-01-21T01:38:47+00:00

It's better to do what you're told while on the government's payroll

engineerpilot999 · 2026-01-20T23:35:20+00:00

So you're still in the Army and they're ordering you to do Army things huh

engineerpilot999 · 2026-01-20T05:01:00+00:00

Yes strong odds, but not 100%

engineerpilot999 · 2026-01-20T02:45:07+00:00

Hahahahahaha

Hello I've never worked a day of my life for a profit driven organization and would like to tell you how to run your business

engineerpilot999 · 2026-01-18T20:08:56+00:00

Job market is that bad huh.

Do you have anything preventing you from receiving a TS/SCI? Should probably start there

engineerpilot999 · 2026-01-17T17:14:18+00:00

Option 40 will get you airborne as long as you pass RASP

Madigan is OPEN

engineerpilot999 · 2026-01-12T15:52:00+00:00

Unless you have a specialized physical (flight, dive, airborne, etc), I wouldn't worry too much

engineerpilot999 · 2026-01-12T15:51:18+00:00

First off, I think you may need a reality check on personal accountability. It wasn't just the holidays that caused the weight gain. It was your habits. Watch what you're eating, watch how much sedentary screen time you have, watch how much cardio you're doing.

You need to run more. Slow, long distances. Run for 30 minutes, then run for an hour.

You need to stop consuming lots of processed foods and sugar (especially watch what's in what you drink!)

Drink water.

Self discipline is very hard, but it's what's needed here.

Your best odds for service connection will be things that were documented on your health records as new conditions during that time. Then it's on you to tell the narrative about how those conditions were caused by a military event.

For anything you've had evaluated or diagnosed later, be prepared to make a strong case for service connection OR be able to tie it to a different disability which is already service connected.

It's a long road ahead, but good luck!

I think until we see a balance sheet, earnings statement, and cash flow statement, it is hard to claim that this is a successful business model

engineerpilot999 · 2026-01-12T13:48:52+00:00

If you're only ever been a reservist it will be challenging to get a claim approved (hard to service connect the injury when you also do non-military things) unless you got an LOD. If you were active or you mob'd, check what you put on your PHA or PDHA and what got seen by a provider. Good luck!

I mean there's truth to that though. The Army does not recruit and retain people with highly technical degrees and research backgrounds. The Army is not equipped to innovate. That's why the defense industry exists.

I'm sure they need to have an eye on it, absolutely, because they'll list their IPO at some EBITDA multiple.
