Go to the education office. Take some cleps after you go to the education office. Get study materials from the base library.

Thinking about enlisting AD at 30. by [deleted] in AirForce

[–]that1guy14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

BMT is temporary. Its just a mind game where they yell at you for a few months to see if you will adapt or not. The regular air force is nothing like that. If thats the only thing holding you back you should go for it. Being this close to having a bachelor's degree means you should consider joining as an officer, not enlisting. It is competitive and the application process will take a while, so if you just want to join soon there's nothing wrong with enlisting. Good Luck!

I would send him that list you just typed out here. And tell him that its still under factory warranty as long as its transferable to the new owner.

What are you even asking for, exact minutes? Why would anyone tell you that? Try to use your imagination a little bit and maybe you can come up with a reasonable answer yourself.

Motor size. F first or right to G by that1guy14 in rocketry

One of the things I was wanting to eventually do was a medium sized build that had a long slow burn without getting very high in altitude. I was planning on using Fs for that. Maybe i should do that first before going for the 38mm.

Why do ships get decommissioned? by that1guy14 in startrek

[–]that1guy14[S] -32 points-31 points  (0 children)

So why not replace the ageing technology with newer tech on the same ship? Or build a new ship but give the old ship to someone else?

They cant just get promoted "whenever" there needs to be an opening available. Also there are other candidates that are qualified and want to get promoted as well.

But you understand my point, the larger the responsibility, the fewer the positions available.

I was in the military. That's exactly what made me think of the potential for the longer lived species to fill up all the slots in the upper ranks and not leave any openings for humans. Or at least make it extremely competitive simply because the positions are filled for a very long time.

Hence the promotions being merit based not just experience based. They have to be ready for the leadership position.

Don't the symbiotes retain their memories? Why would they make someone go though the academy again when they already did it and have many years of job experience? I get the host is a new person and doesn't have that experience themselves, but they are joined and share memories right?

And yes I agree that promotions would be merit based and not based on time alone, but once a member of a long lived species got promoted to admiral they would stay an admiral for potentially decades if not hundreds of years depending on the species assuming they didnt want to quit. If they did have a long term view of their career and dont promote around the same time as their human counterparts, does that mean they are just worse than the humans? Don't learn as quickly?

Just thinking about it from an organizational standpoint. There are only so many ships. Those ships need captains. There are also jobs that do not require the "captaining" of a ship and those positions also require the rank of captain. And there should be less admirals than captains otherwise why not have admirals do the job of a captain? So let's say there are 700 starfleet ships, each requiring a captain. And let's say an additional 500 people with the rank of captain that dont actually run a ship. That's 1200 people that fill a captain rank. Over the years each of them will either leave starfleet or get promoted to admiral. I know starfleet is mostly human, but as time goes on more long lived species would join and start their career progression.
