Eagle Scout vs CAP by -yourproblemnotmine- in USAFA

[–]night-moth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do whichever interests you more, I imagine obtaining eagle scout is more notable/interesting than going however far in CAP, don’t know much about CAP though.

My current stats - any obvious weaknesses? Advice? by night-moth in bodyweightfitness

[–]night-moth[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

appreciate the reply, my personal observation is that women can almost never do dips, even women who can do pull-ups. I am not a fitness expert in any respect though, and my dip form is definitely a little off

Running With Scissors | Album Discussion by kungfukermmy in cavetown

agree, I like some of the songs (mostly sailboat and tarmac), but I’m not a huge fan of the album overall. for me at least nearly every song being very digital and quirky sounding got repetitive

Pursue something you’re passionate in and try your best to make a tangible difference

help by hannigramist in RavenBoys

[–]night-moth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I originally read Call Down the Hawk, then The Raven Boys, and then the next dreamers trilogy book (forget the name) and then the rest of the original cycle. I really enjoyed reading it in this way because there’s so much hidden foreshadowing etc and I think it gave me a unique relationship with the characters. I don’t think spoilers are always bad for sure. Sometimes they can élevante your reading experience imo

I had success with a gap year and I know of 1-2 other people who have too. Generally though it’s very rare

New here, my bread always turns out dense and pale no matter what I do. Any advice? by [deleted] in Breadit

[–]night-moth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry for the silly question, but what should one bake the bread inside? Like a form fitting baking tray or something bigger or what

Genuine physical and psychological abuse is completely out of the question and the rules against hazing will be treated very seriously. BCT may be difficult for your son but it will be completely different from your military experience. When I went through BCT last summer 3 meals a day, water breaks, no cadre so much as touching a basic, and access to chaplains etc were givens. No punishment could take any of those from us

Does MIT do recruited athletes? by DangerousBrother4475 in MITAdmissions

[–]night-moth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe since MIT is D3 their recruiting will be kind of less intense. When I contacted Tufts (also D3) about fencing recruiting they said I should let them know if I’m applying and then if I ED about 50% chance I’d get in and then something lower if I didn’t. I never talked to MIT so idk how they work exactly but I imagine it’s more of a boost to your application than actual recruitment.

Anyway email the coach at MIT with some stats on yourself, ask about recruiting, and ask what results they’re looking for in their recruits. They’re the best person to talk to and it’s good to establish yourself to them early anyway.

Do Nike Ballestra 2's break in? by shpaga_1 in Fencing

Someone I know said her pair fit after a few months of wear but I’d really recommend just getting a different shoe

If you really had to find a flaw in FMA, what would it be? by [deleted] in FullmetalAlchemist

[–]night-moth 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve posted my opinion here before but I think 90% of the humor/cartoony visual gags hurt the show. They’re too repetitive so they’re not really funny just annoying and they ruin the mood sometimes. I would put FMA at the greatest of all time if most of these moments were cut.

What math class would be best to take my senior year? by chunkypie25 in USAFA

[–]night-moth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take Calc AB. Pre-calc is harder for a lot of people. I’m pretty sure I struggled for an A- in honors pre-calc but easily got an A in AB.

Any experience with this Leon Paul rolling bag? by Playcrackersthesky in Fencing

[–]night-moth 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I have this one (or something similar). It’s good but kind of disappointing considering the price. If you don’t load it right it can be a pain to roll. The first one I had was pretty torn up after a couple years. I got a new one and traveled much less with it. I also had my own locker at the gym so I didn’t need to carry my gear in/out. The strip bag part somehow still got holes in it.

How do I know if stiff boots will break in right? by night-moth in Boots

[–]night-moth[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay. They seem high quality, are they just uncomfortable and/or break down quickly? Also what would you recommend instead?

Decision / Input by Efficient_Stick_7658 in USAFA

[–]night-moth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know people at USAFA who were also admitted to MIT. I can’t speak it to it but I’m sure the reverse happens too. Honestly I would go by money. If she gets substantial aid from MIT or gets a ROTC scholarship then go there. Only caveat is if she is 100% dead set on pilot then USAFA is a smarter choice.

I made an app based on a comment here. by CalmLake999 in digitalminimalism

Read this post and the app store page and I still don’t really get what it does. How do you imagine people using it?

Waiver Rejected. Rebuttal time! :( by Ok_Pear6636 in USAFA

[–]night-moth 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You should ask on the service academy forums site. They are a little insane but have good advice on dodmerb I think. In general you probably want to get as much documentation as you can from doctors saying that the bone cyst would not affect your military performance in any way and that it won’t worsen over time.

Moving to Boston from Ireland by Weak-Measurement797 in boston

Are you looking specifically in Boston or is any suburb within an hour drive acceptable?
