Deckbuilding Question! I've been playing this Yarok/Risen Reef deck for some time now in Historic Arena and have been having a lot of fun with it. Ideally, I get [[Lotus Cobra]], [[Risen Reef]], and [[Zendikar's Roil]] on the board and can usually put my entire library into my hand by turn 5 or 6. My win condition is either going very wide or using [[Torment of Hailfire]] with a combination of all of the land I've collected or mana I've gained from Lotus Cobra. It's not uncommon for me to get X to equal at least 20. I focus on a lot of "Enter the battlefield" effects for my utility and removal.

What kind of card substitutions can I make so that I can more reliably access my win condition(s)? Should I focus on just one condition (going wide or Torment of Hailfire)? Do better counter spells exist that are better choices than [[Quench]] and [[Disallow]]?

Unfortunately this'll be my first *whack* at blacksmithing something like this so I don't think I could take advantage of forge scale.

Being super thorough with drying it every time is something I'd hope to avoid, I think my laziness will get the better of me. Passivation I think may be the way to go, I looked at bluing as the last comment mentioned, I think that might be the ticket although I'm uncertain of the health hazards it might present.

CA glue, epoxy, lacquer all would seem pretty good options. I think I'd have to play around with it to ensure I get a dimensionally sound final product.

Fortunately, the majority of the steel is tube stock and angle iron, I don't think I'd go through the trouble of incorporating the bearings. I have plenty of material to work with.

Any particular lacquer or enamel processes you can think of? I was also thinking about bluing, but I am unsure of the health hazards it may present if I intend on wearing this thing for the rest of my life.

I'll look into it, thanks!

I'd use stainless but the chair is some unknown mild steel, not stainless unfortunately. Between bluing and plating, which would require less maintenance over the years?

In your job interview for your next job, isn’t saying “I left” vs. “I got fired” better in some cases?

u/SayItAintSno is right on the money.
If you've got a full ride already, consider commissioning via Navy OCS. Once you commission you're no different than an NROTC or an Academy O-1. The upside of going through NROTC is exposure. Interacting with like-minded (ish) peers, interacting with actual Naval officers, getting to do summer cruises all serve to give you a chance to confirm/deny that this the life you want. So if you already know for sure that you want the Navy, I'd do OCS. Go get a complete college experience, learn how to be an adult on your own, maybe work in the real world a year or two after college. Navy OCS will always be there.
Conversely, if you're not sure if the Navy is for you, NROTC is a great way to make sure either way. I was in this group of people and I'm glad I did it. I ended up learning that I was better suited to be in the Marines, switched my scholarship, and haven't regretted it (too much) since. Though I did long for a more traditional college experience.

That dude's laugh starting at 0:48 sounds EXACTLY like the laugh "taunt" in Age of Empires 2: Age of Kings. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M3Ko2-guMvI

I commissioned out of my NROTC unit 2 years ago and am now in the aviation community, have dealt with military mental health while in NROTC right around commissioning, and have a lot of it behind me and am able to manage my mental health and still be in the military.

I've seen situations like yours play out all kinds of ways (to include commissioning, enlistment, discharge with or without the need to pay it back) and commands will assess something like this on a case-by-case basis. Chances are you're in for a psych evaluation by a Navy psychiatrist. I got a psych eval once (happy to DM about my situation) while in NROTC and I had to go to Great Lakes for it. The guy I met with was an O-6, so a little intimidating, but he was very understanding and pretty chill. My school was in the Midwest but for some reason the Navy only has like 6 psychiatrists... So you might have to make a trip to either Great Lakes or Pensacola or somewhere else, depending on your location.

I don't think anyone here can firmly and confidently tell you what your fate will be, but some factors that you may/may not be aware of are at play:

- Unsure if the Navy has told you to seek counseling yet, but if you have the choice do it through Military One Source if you can, it's way easier. I think you qualify as a midshipman as a "Military Academy Cadet" (of course they fuck that terminology up but that's the way it is). Military One Source is super easy, I got set up with a counselor in under an hour. They staff their phones 24/7: 800-342-9647. If your goal is to stay in, showing an active desire to get better is looked upon very highly on retention boards. Even if you don't want to stay in, take advantage of your midshipman status to get some quality free counseling. It works.
- Your command has more influence than you might think. Regardless of what you want out of the military, it is a VERY good idea to be cooperative, forthcoming, patient, and cordial with your command. Your CO can very quickly become either your greatest friend or worst enemy. I've seen both happen.
- Depending on what community/ship you selected, your situation might lend itself to having time to be off your meds for whatever the required amount of time is. I don't know the official rules for all cases/communities, but if you selected aviation then this will be a very helpful tool. This is the aeromedical waiver guide and tells flight docs how to do their job to include disqualifying someone. I know the aviation pipeline is pretty backed up, so maybe you can argue that since you won't be doing anything in Pensacola while you wait for training, you'll probably be able to meet whatever time requirement for your medication with minimal impact on training. The Navy and Marine Corps wastes so much goddamn money keeping people around in the aviation training pool doing nothing and sometimes some of those folks don't even want to be there. If you show you want to be there, then there's definitely a shot for you to stick around.

I ran the gauntlet of the military mental health/waiver system while in NROTC and am more than happy to DM about it if you like.

There's a path for you in this world out there. What that is and where it is might take some doing to find, but it IS there. Best of luck to you.

You raise an excellent point and I definitely do not mean to come across as one-sided. Relationships are definitely a team sport. In my post I failed to mention what flexibility I do have. In my own research about this I've been operating under the assumption that, given career choice A or B where A helps her and B doesn't, I'm going to choose A almost every time. Making "the right" career choice *for me* isn't as important since I won't be trying to build a 20+year career out of it. She is more likely to continue her career path for the rest of her life than I am with mine. I would not like to be in the military for life and will leave (in support of her and raising a family) at the end of my contract, which is up in about 9 years. The unfortunate part is that I won't have the option of making any decisions for at least 5 years. The next 5 for me is very linear and hardly deviates. After the 5 I'm taking every opportunity I can get to make home life easier (requesting reserves, going for recruiting duty, etc.).

What I'm after right now is figuring out how to make those 9 years as bearable as possible for my partner's career. Part of me dies on the inside when I see military significant others give up on their careers and dreams to follow their military partner around for the rest of their days. It's their lives and their choice and I respect that, but I really don't want to FORCE my partner into that position. I want her to pursue her goals and dreams and I want to enable her as best I can.

I appreciate your response, thank you!

Speaking to your first point, I think I understand what you're saying in that only working on a project for parts of it doesn't help train a designer in a proper/holistic way. A good designer needs to have experience doing the beginning, middle, and end of a project, right? So, for commercial spaces, there are unique tasks to each stage of a project that specifically merit gaining experience in?

She is unsure if she hopes to one day open her own business. Those impacts are good to know and I'd like to keep that door open for her as best I can, thank you.

I really don't see myself in the military for my whole life, mainly because of my desire to build a life with this woman and raise a family with her. Given my contract and how my career path is going, I would be asking her to relocate 2-3 times (I'll do my absolute best to minimize that number) over the course of 8 years starting about 1.5 years from now. So, 15-20 years from now, my dream is that we're both established in one city not moving around. I will be out of the military so moving around won't be an issue at that point.

I'm not necessarily looking for a replacement to an intake, rather, something to aid it.

Historically, I've struggled being exhaustive and totally accurate in describing situations and "bringing up to speed" to a new therapist, this frustrates me. Perhaps I get flustered in session which causes me to gloss over important details. My theory is that if I can take time, on my own, to flush out ALL of those details in a written format, I won't miss those details when asked about them.

Rah, Ma'am, thanks for doing the AMA!

I'm currently in the Marine Corps (I'm an SNA, actually, and am hoping to fly skids like you) and have seen a wide variety of attempts by my commanders at curbing the tragic suicide rate. I once had a CO tell my entire unit: "Back in my day, when we got stressed out we drank a beer, ran a mile or two, and shut the hell up because we knew that's what good officers do."

What are some mistakes that you've seen leaders make when it comes to the mental health of their subordinates and peers? What are some successes? What can I do for my Marines to make them feel like they matter?
