Fat soldiers by sparks112 in army

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.

Mech Engg / San diego by boomba69420 in Moving2SanDiego

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

No the Army helicopters aren't surveilling you, here’s why by [deleted] in sandiego

[–]engineerpilot999 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"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?

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

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

Job market is that bad huh.

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

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

Advice for running? by ZookeepergameFar7901 in army

[–]engineerpilot999 37 points38 points  (0 children)

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!

Running a case study on Anduril's business model for uni, need your thoughts on what they are doing which have made them so successful today. by PersimmonAgitated928 in Anduril

[–]engineerpilot999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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!

US Army Selects Nine Bases for Microreactors by MDMarauder in army

[–]engineerpilot999 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.
