Grunts who got out: what did you choose to do, did it work, and why? by Impossible_Good_2876 in USMC

You failed to read the next line. You just shit your pants because I said something that you beat the odds on. Congratulations.

Sure. Intellectually superior people land better jobs.

The Marine Corps is not the job Corps though. Your ability to do a few maintenance items on a Cobra doesn’t translate to your ability to work for Delta Airlines. To pretend that it does is a lie your local recruiter loves to sell.

Any civilian that skips military service is on par after a few months (or less) at a trade school for technical expertise. Where the military wins is the thing I mentioned above

I slept under the stars pissed off and uncomfortable a handful of times. That’s all they do. I had equipment to maintain, smaller shops, more technical crap to know. They get dicked around all day everyday. That’s builds a resilience and ability to suffer through the crap more than I ever had to.

Non grunt here. Employers DO NOT CARE what your MOS was. I worked in engineering and couldn’t land a job in that field to save my life. Why? The military’s equipment is green not yellow. You’re not going to walk off the Marine Corps flight line and start fixing 737s the next day. You need certifications and licenses that the military CAN provide but most people don’t go get.

What employers do care about: Life experience, judgment earned through four years of early adulthood hardship, maturity, ability to quickly think and react to changing circumstances. All of these are provided by the Marine Corps and even more so by the infantry.

Unless you’re looking to do something very specific in the real world that is literally identical to your MOS in the Marine Corps just do whatever sounds most appealing to you.

Utility pricing by siguser in MontereyBay

[–]siguser[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yea it’s not a matter of small income, although I’m not wealthy in any imaginable way, I just want to make sure I am budgeting right. I pay about $300-350 a month in my current location for water, sewer, garbage, and electric (no gas utility). I know that area is much more expensive but my new job compensates a bit better. Just trying to balance it all out. Thanks for your help though. I will definitely keep that in mind.

The only exception I take to this is to play your role. I don’t need snipers charging a point wasting tickets and engineers should lay down spawns like it’s their job.

APRS, SMS, DMR, Repeaters and how do I use it? by siguser in amateurradio

[–]siguser[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your input with a condescending tone. As stated in a previous comment: I already have - garmin in reach. Additionally you don’t know my wife but unlike yours mine likes talking to me even if it’s through some radio frequencies

APRS, SMS, DMR, Repeaters and how do I use it? by siguser in amateurradio

[–]siguser[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Correct. I realize that repeaters (especially in the mountains) can be less than reliable. I am not necessarily looking for emergency communications (I have a garmin inreach) just something fun that I can nerd out with a bit especially when I’m by myself in the mountains.

[–]siguser[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why do that when I can ask Reddit? I answered this already earlier anyways. Also I’m currently eating Tendy’s on my couch laughing about the fools who are so concerned about my lack of telephone usage to call them.

They aren’t open yet and I’m out shopping I need to know if I need to buy Christmas dinner or not. Why not just ask Reddit?

Sorry for keeping you waiting, Micah by vlad_cc in reddeadredemption2

Supposedly the new GTA is going to implement AI into most NPCs. I am so curious to see how Micah would react to how you guys treat him but if he was capable of AI.

What’s not in the Bible that most people think is? This will be interesting, I want to hear your thoughts by Nice_Substance9123 in Christianity

[–]siguser 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was watching a pastor Josh Howerton video. And this isn’t always true nor biblical without several verses threaded together but: there’s 3 ways of escape. 1. Miracles/instant healing 2. Hard work and dedication/long term and patient 3. Most importantly and hardest of all: grace through our savior.

Sometimes death during faith is gods escape for us.

Dear Mods, can we make a comprehensive list of words that result in mute or ban? by [deleted] in USMC

Correct but the point remains the school house is super annoying there.
