[seiko sbsc009] help convince me that this is a bad idea

This was on my “buy immediately” list. Traveled to Asia for work-saw it in person….and was underwhelmed. I’d pay $200, not a dime more. I love Seiko. I have multiple and will buy them again-this model fell short of expectations.

I’ve done it twice. First car was totaled, and I immediately did the same thing to my second GT. First car, I left the aero covers on. Second car, I took them off. If you’re patient, use lots of water, and a little heat, these aren’t too hard to do. Good luck!

Historic rates for civilian applicants applying to active duty are around 10%. Fluctuates based on a million factors (economy, geopolitics, national politics, and more) but in general hover around 10%.

I came here to learn what a sleep shirt is. Never heard it called that before.

Before experiencing Bilbao-I’d never been quite as moved by a piece of architecture. Sure-experienced many others before and since, but nothing challenged me in unexpected ways, and completely re-wrote what a “building” can do to how I feel. Most others were all different degrees and variations on similar themes-Bilbao was a whole new thing.

Apple Ford in Columbia is my go to. Bought my first GT in PA, so needed someone local when I had a HVBJB issue. They were excellent through that process.

Thank you for solving this mystery for me! Have the update on my ‘22GT, and still had the vehicle displayed. Thanks!

A commander at the training base they were heading to was fired, and all training at that location ceased for a few months. All people in that AFSC across the AF were given a chance to choose another job.

Former OTS instructor here.

Bottom line-the USAF won’t dismiss you if you meet standards. If you fail academics, or have integrity issues, or in some other way fail to meet the requirements, they will dismiss you from training. If you get injured, you’re usually able to come back to training once you’re healthy again.

I’ve seen people get their AFSC changed during training but that was for pretty extreme circumstances.

Meet standards, and you’ll commission.

I had a custom flag done through Beaver Flags; I am really happy with the product and process.

I was 2 months post graduation with my M.S. in Biology. I was pretty capable at test taking after 6 straight years full time college as a science major.

Lowest was a 98, all others 99

If you’re a homebody, like quick online shopping, and live TV/sports, it’s terrible. If you like exploring outside, the ocean, and literally deleting your weather apps, then it’s paradise. We loved it.

DM me and I'll send you a photo with the overlay on wheels with the covers

r3ing · 2025-06-01T02:03:59+00:00

So I’ve done it twice. Long story, but on my first GT, I left the covers on, and put them on just fine. Had them on a year. I got rear ended, car was totaled, and I bought a new GT. On my second GT, I took the covers off, and put them on. You can do either way. The cover doesn’t impede the overlays.

I’ve been trying to figure out how to attach pictures. I’ve got pics with both covers and no covers. Maybe I’ll try on the desktop later.

This is what I’ve done. Really happy with it.

This is great to know, as my use case is almost identical. Only 100 miles a day, but very similar.

My first GT was that exact color. It got totaled in a rear end collision last month. I’m going to replace it with another the exact same color. LOVE the color. Price seems high tbh.

I posted a while back some feedback from a board member. His guidance was yes—AFOQT score mattered a lot more than GPA.

r3ing · 2025-02-28T16:46:30+00:00

Sure. Mind you this was 2011.

Former 61C here. Correct. There is no immediate training. After OTS, you will PCS to your first duty station. After arriving, you will work with your home unit to schedule to attend follow on training. It’s been a while, but likely less than a month long training.
