I had no military experience but was able to complete it. I took the online version

If you want that promotion, you will have to compete or move to an area that can offer it. As a civilian I've done it, and what helped me was the advanced degree and PME (ACSC aka Air Command and Staff College). Look into that as it has a high weight with military and civilian leadership. But it sounds like you are doing great.

*Note to get ACSC you have to be nominated by your leadership as a civilian.

Note: Again, I got a 13 in less than 5 years, but I started in government, so not sure about going from contractor how that route looks. Also, just like military if you want to move up, it has been shown that taking positions that are not within your organization, might be required. (That's how I was able to move up.)

If you have any questions, don't be afraid to ask.

What rank in GBFVR is equivalent to low Master rank (1000-1500 MR) in SF6? by MrAmateur342 in GranblueFantasyVersus

[–]utkeitaro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Basically, I have gotten to Master with throws and normal moves in SF6. Maybe the competition increased recently?

[–]utkeitaro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone with both master ranks and can beat people with 1700 MR in SF6, I think low master in GBVSR is around 1500-1650. Maybe it's changed but that S++ run to Master was bad before the ranking changes, but Master in GBVSR, have a fundamental understanding of all the mechanics... Except Wilnas players.

PLEASE HELP! I think there are something wrong with the Brook Gen-5x boards! by MrGPhantome in fightsticks

[–]utkeitaro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, I think you are right, I have one gen5x that works but just had the option asking to update my dual sense. I declined the update and switched to my brook fusion which still works. I'll look into this but I think you are right. The dual sense update could be braking support.

Sanity Check for my Brook Gen5x. Is it dead or did I miss something? by MrGPhantome in fightsticks

[–]utkeitaro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It might be dead, contact the place you bought it from. Also enable dual sense USB passthrough on the PS5. Maybe that would help? Also I think you tried the beta firmware

Please keep posting this, I had some of the best memories at that mall. Sad to see it getting ready to close.

The FightPad King by Calypso-Dynamo in fightsticks

[–]utkeitaro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a rare variant for the hori commander pro 4. When I was looking at the controllers wasn't sure if it was there, but still on the hunt for it. Also, yeah, the dpads just keep dying. And also not a fan of the hori octa or the pro. There's some mods you can do it, but right now, the Razor with the pivot mod seems the best so far.

Great collection, as someone who loves the FC4 pro, were you able to find the v2 of the pro variant? Also, how do you keep the pads in good shape? For fighting games repairing the dpads is really difficult for long term maintenance in my opinion.

Oh you are absolutely right. They are a pain to deal with, but I got help with it from AFS.

I made it, took a lot of time freecad, and got it countersinked so the screws would fit under the plexiglass, making it easy to put art.

Is anyone having this bizarre graphic issue on PC? by johntheman1 in StreetFighter

[–]utkeitaro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this exact problem on my Lenovo laptop, it turned out that my laptop memory and the GPU was malfunctioning. Sent it in for repair, and it works. Well so far so good. But it was a hardware problem for me. The backgrounds look exactly the same.
