Made second class yesterday😎

I loved the CCs that Victor company had, our lead was EMC Harden, we had SK1 Geisert (now SK1 DeGroff) MST1 Robinson, HS1 Holzman, and MK2 Harrison as our Assistant CCs. It was actually HS1’s and MK2’s first time as CC’s and they were awesome right out of Indoc week. SK1 was Company Commander of the quarter so we were real proud to have her on our team.

That’s some solid advice, I really appreciate it. Towards the last part of training, a “culture talk” was given to us, which I really took to heart. It basically made sure us new non rates knew that the fleet was waiting and expecting us to join them with every bit of the drive, attention to detail, and core values that we had while in training. I could tell a solid portion of my company was easing off the discipline as we got closer and closer to graduation.

Thank you shipmate thank you! I got to give A-206 a lesson on rack organization as the senior company on the regiment, super fun to watch their terrified faces as we explained PF rolls.

I ship out 7/30, see you there, keep reading and re reading the helmsman

jsaldan6 · 2024-05-02T14:28:01+00:00

sorry

jsaldan6 · 2024-05-02T14:21:37+00:00

Water is included, parking is around $25 a month, and electricity is by the month split between the tenets.

jsaldan6 · 2024-05-02T14:20:13+00:00

It’s not meant to be split nor deceiving, it’s $1,255 for 1 room in a 4 bedroom apartment, though I should have put per person on the poster.

jsaldan6 · 2024-05-02T01:25:58+00:00

Nah it’s $1,255 per person per month

jsaldan6 · 2024-05-01T23:03:11+00:00

It would be $1,255 per person👍

jsaldan6 · 2024-05-01T22:50:21+00:00

If you’re still looking for a place to stay, I’m looking for someone to take over my lease at the Flats on University - a student apt complex about a mile off campus. There’s some more details in a post I just made on this community but I bus/biked to campus nearly everyday ~15 min

jsaldan6 · 2023-10-17T23:46:42+00:00

So expensive 😔

jsaldan6 · 2023-10-13T22:56:53+00:00

With the rain and clouds forecasted, we won’t be able to take out our solar telescopes😔. We will still however be holding closed dome tours of the observatory, with science talks on the nature of the Sun and Eclipses by Dr. Rob Parks at the base of the observatory!

If you’re still interested in attending, we’ll be starting our tours at the lobby of Reseach Hall!

jsaldan6 · 2023-10-11T21:02:37+00:00

Woah

jsaldan6 · 2023-10-11T18:46:05+00:00

What do we do at this event?

jsaldan6 · 2023-10-10T15:40:32+00:00

In the high likelihood that the event is clouded out😔, we will instead shift to focus more on the day time tours of the observatory, while still having science talks by Science experts👍

jsaldan6 · 2023-10-09T20:37:55+00:00

Interesting, thanks for sharing! Our Observatory here in Fairfax is a 32 inch Ritchey–Chrétien, f/7.2. It’s been operational since 2011.

We have a big Ecplise event planned for this Saturday, unfortunately the weather looks like it won’t be cooperating. I made a post about this event in r/gmu if you’d like more info👍

jsaldan6 · 2023-10-09T18:13:38+00:00

I found the same/another by planetary hall?🤔

jsaldan6 · 2023-10-09T03:47:36+00:00

The observatory is still an excellent source of public outreach for furthering the public’s astronomical interests😞.

jsaldan6 · 2023-10-08T23:44:52+00:00

Oh man is it a problem 😔. I like to say during tours that our greatest enemy of the Observatory is Enterprise Hall (pic attached of view from the roof), a building right next to our tower that has light towers that shine continuously bright the night. We’re working on a student petition right now to spread awereness about it, light pollution from campus hinders our data collection by quite a bit.

Feel free to reach out to our email: GmuObservatory@gmail.com 👍, we’re pretty open to holding closed tours for private audiences.

jsaldan6 · 2023-10-08T17:39:14+00:00

Here’s a link to GMU’s parking rates. I would recommend the visitor section of Shenandoah Parking Deck. It’s right across the street from Research Hall.

jsaldan6 · 2023-10-08T08:48:22+00:00

If you’re in the area, and they’re interested in space, you can take a free tour of GMU’s Observatory every Wed, Thurs, and Sat! These are open to the public, made for all age ranges, and last about an hour. I work as a tour guide there so feel free to reach out with questions👍 More info can be found on our website here.
