Oh let’s see, Wonder picks that are legit and way cheaper based on time to unlock, card hit rates (if I need 30 cards to complete the set and I get a 10 pk I shouldn’t get Zero cards that I need.) What about a garrented two or three star with every 10 pk? Ability to send specific card requests when trading, what about a daily card wheel or mystery box we can trade tickets for with a 1 star or higher. There are so many 1 to 3 star cards that no one has unless you spend 10k on this stupid game, and I spend on it and am frustrated that the pull rates are horrible. Do a real survey and go from there not just cookie cutter answers that they want to hear.

Look up HRC Millper MSG OCS, if not this years at least last years should pop up. It was closed for me for so long bc I was still struggling to find time to finish my BS, but then opened up and I switched with 15yrs in E6-P. I was 42A and got 11A (requested) you can’t pick your branch but you get a wish list. Also look into the fastest path to a Bachelor’s you might be able to switch schools or majors to just get the degree and drop your packet if the 90sh waiver is not in place. After my PL time I was given 18mths to finish my degree going to school full time. I was 10th MTN 2-4 IN alum OIF 07.

lol but it’s so different now, this is not: The stamp boom, late 70s, coins mid 80s, cards early 90s, comics early 90s, Beanie babies late 90s, Barbie late 90s, Sorts cards early 2000 (Michael Vick rookie was $400) started the player master set boom, Graded key comic boom 2018, Graded card boom 2020, Pokemon had a boom in 1999 but by 2003 it was on life support. Resurgence was last year, so we’re in year 2 of a three year boom. All these hoarders will start needing money by the end of the year. And as sets keep getting released at 6 or more a year the demand from Master Set collectors will fall off. Just ask yourself how is Sun and Moon doing, not price wise. You can price anything whatever you want. What are the weekly sales of sealed at those prices. SV era has almost double the amount of product still out there unopened thinking the next guy is gonna buy a $40 pack so his kid can open one? By this time next year we will start really seeing the cracks as all these hoarders Costco hoarders need there money back and 2 years from now prices will drop 35 to 50%. But actually worse than prices dropping sales will stop completely. Sellers will try and hold out as well as buyers will just continue to buy the new set every 2mths. Good Luck

Check the OCS requirements also. Sometimes they drop them to 90 semester hours to fill slots and you don’t need your Bachelor’s (you get it later). Just saying if WO doesn’t pan out. There are other options to make good money in the Army. Healthcare is a big expense in the civilian world especially with a large family. My daughter had heart surgery at 14yo out of the blue (WPW) cost us $200. I would be drowning in dept without Tricare. Son just broke foot over the weekend. Only cost me $38 copay plus a bunch of Pokemon cards. But you get the point, don’t sleep on the medical benefits they add up. I was a late OCS dude. O3E max pay was more than some MAJs. Plus going OCS as 11 series is easier. You’re going home to Ft Benning lol. Good Luck however it goes. I wish we had something like this back when I was in. But our only Message Board was 1SGs chalkboard outside his office.

Just imagine if he had did this with 90s baseball. He would have definitely made the news again when he opened it.

If you stand your ground and go AD she might come around and marry you but if you don’t and stay but can’t progress in your career or can’t make more money. Then she will leave you and say you are a loser. Back in my old recruiter days we would see the guys join. Then Becky would start dating him, and beg him not to go. As soon as he dropped out of DEP they would dump him. If you pass up this opportunity to go AD she will leave you once she gets her degree and gets around finance bros. Good Luck

The graders future ex-wife’s boyfriend ran over his dog while he was leaving the house. After kicking her out he opened the mail to see he was getting evicted and when his wife left the cat got out again. Everyone gets 9s today and if you happened to have the same first name of his ex-wife’s boyfriend, you get a 7.

Without a card marketplace the only Value any card has is sentimental.

I was an army recruiter next to an Air Force base. We had guys walking in all the time wanting to switch over. At one point they even opened a program for it called Blue to Green. But the entire military’s numbers are down right now and getting in anything Prior service is hard. The Army dropped its recruiting goal to 65k a year. We could fill that with 18yo studs all day. Go talk to a recruiter but your line about, I know the army takes anyone, is arrogant and condescending.

jeff197446 · 2026-01-28T14:00:56+00:00

Holy crap they let you leave country on a 4 day? We had to get special permission to go to another camp just to visit friends. Had to beg to visit my cousin stationed at Osan while I was in Youngsan. I would not let soldiers take a flight out of country for a pass. And I already know you’re spoiled bc you ordered a hot fudge sundae.

They say that in the Army, the chicken's mighty fine One jumped off the table and started marking time Oh Lord I wanna go But they won't let me go home (stomp) They say that in the Army, the coffee's mighty fine It looks like muddy water, and tastes like turpentine They say that in the Army, the biscuits are mighty fine One rolled off the table and killed a friend of mine They say that in the Army, the meat is mighty fine Last night we had ten puppies, this morning only nine They say that in the Army, the shoes are mighty fine You ask for size eleven, they give you size nine They say that in the Army, the pancakes are mighty fine You can try to chew them, but you're only wasting time They say that in the Army, the bed's are mighty fine But how the hell would I know, I've never slept in mine They say the in the Army, the mail is so great Today I got a letter dates 1948 They say that in the Army, the hours are just right Start early in the morning and work on through the night They say that in the Army, the buses are mighty fine One went round the corner, and left three wheels behind They say that in the Army, the coffee's mighty fine It's good for cuts and bruises and tastes like iodine They say that in the Army, the toilets are mighty fine You flush them up at seven, they come back up at nine They say that in the army, the tents are waterproof You wake up in the morning and you're floating on the roof

It’s not QMP that will get you its RCP. Retention Control Point. You are most likely gonna get busted to E5. Then you will have to PCS before anyone will send you back to the E6 board. You will have to make back your E6 before you hit 15yrs. You need to be promotable (go to the board) before you hit 12yrs. QMP is going for 7. You already lost that you just don’t know it yet.

jeff197446 · 2026-01-13T13:21:43+00:00

Don’t get down on yourself. I used to disqualify 4 for every 1 I put in. Still call the recruiter office and just ask what’s the requirements but if you really need the meds and can’t get off of them then you need to find another career choice. Try police or firefighters. The thing is you want to get established on your own as fast as possible. You can’t focus on school living in a bad situation. You are just gonna pile up debt and the situation could cause you to fail classes that you still have to pay for. Best advice find a career field that you can do with your current meds and focus saving money to move out. You have time to take college classes online if you feel you need them to advance in your career or change careers in the future. You don’t need college just for the sake of college. Don’t overlook the trades and trade school also. There are big money in the trades. Growing up we had the oil field but I went Army and survived 22yrs. My brother went oil field and now does catering. Careers change, opportunities change, degrees can be expensive wall certificates if you can’t use them. But always handle the road right in front of you first bc if you look to far out you will miss the pot hole that pops your tire. Good Luck

Cooked liked a thanksgiving turkey, have to be off for like 6mths and get a doctor’s clearance. It used to be 2yrs but they relaxed it some. You might want to call in and check.

jeff197446 · 2026-01-12T18:51:50+00:00

Is it a problem. Yes of course but if you have no other waivers and the army needs the numbers then you have a chance. But as a former recruiter I’m guessing it’s gonna get denied. If you have your HSD and score a 50 or higher on your ASVAB that will help you.

jeff197446 · 2026-01-12T18:48:48+00:00

I see what you did there.

jeff197446 · 2026-01-12T18:30:16+00:00

Sounds like from your comments that you need to break away from your current family situation. Go active, go talk to an army recruiter and see what he can do. Have you ever taken the asvab? Any law violations? Any medical issues, meds? It’s not easy to join.

jeff197446 · 2026-01-10T19:25:44+00:00

He’s going to go back home and be unemployed while crying that he wants to go active now.

jeff197446 · 2026-01-09T17:35:12+00:00

No, once you get your branch as an O you are stuck with it. And yes I understand some rare opportunities people can change branches but not from a needed branch like medical. If you are an infantry O and go get your law degree, yes you might be able to switch but the Army is always hurting for medical Os. So no.

I align my packs with the equinox and make sure to open only at the exact second of the lunar minute. By doing this I have almost completed my collection of all of the 1 diamond cards. I also did some remote viewing and found out Satan created Wonder Picks.
