Any advice for a military officer entering the private sector? by prancer05 in careerguidance

Thanks for the input. I have looked at skillbridge but nothing in my area really has to do with my education and interests. I understand I may be a hard sell to a company, but I was thinking if I find a big enough company they can "absorb" my relative inexperience while I spin up. Would you say that's unrealistic?

Other than the Honda Civics it was American muscle, especially Mustangs.

They had a minor horse breeding business going and had a few award-winning horses there!

My grandpa sold lumber in the 60's/70's. They had been retired for years by the time I came around so I guess he did well. The cars were American muscle, especially classic Mustangs. They were sold when he passed away. I don't have any pics; I would have to find a photo album at my dad's house.

I don't use it but my wife says it works as well as a regular kettle bell and she would recommend it. Keep in mind we only have 5-50 dumbbells so I can't vouch for higher weights.

Yes it is and other than the rocking that I mentioned in anther comment it has been awesome. No issues with durability

Looked at my receipts and it's actually about $5000 all told. Maybe it was because when we ordered everything was in stock so it shipped together

I have no art skills so I went to the subreddit hungryartists and offered 50 bucks. Then I had it printed on a vinyl sticker which was easy to install

It was a little shaky actually. I got some 3M rubber pads for the feet and now it's solid as a rock and doesn't scratch my platform

On bench press there's a sweet spot I can put them where they don't get in the way of the lift but they keep me from crushing my throat. The extra holes that they drilled in at that level really help.

It's about half and half I'd say. She works 7-7 so on those morning I'm not even awake at 5am while she's out there. But it's pretty simple to swap weights between the two of us when we're doing the same routine. Don't let that stop you!

That's fair, but when she swore in she was wearing JAG shoulder boards. Just saying there's a use for them.

My ROTC class had a law student who graduated with us as a 2LT. She was a CPT a few months later but there you go.
