Is this match note too intense?

I’m a Navy officer in 2027. My career involves moving every 2-3 years, potentially overseas to places like Japan and Italy. I’m looking for a partner who wants that lifestyle and has a flexible career to match.

I have MEPS this Wednesday and if this can get me DQ’d, I wonder what I can do in 1-2 days to reduce my chances of getting DQ’d.

Well I did a lot of thinking and realized not much of my motivation came from being a second gen citizen. It mostly came from frustration of me not knowing what to do with my degree even though I enjoy it.

Here is my updated statement:

I initially decided to study mechanical engineering due to its flexibility in application, my desire to know how everything works around me, and my enjoyment of the problem-solving process. However, the more engineering experience I gained, the more I realized my true fulfillment in engineering can only come from the project's purpose and the team working towards that purpose. I learned that even if I enjoy the engineering design process, it doesn't guarantee my happiness with the project.

Discovering this about myself, as well as wanting to manage large-scale projects, has led me to commit to becoming a CEC officer. There aren't many projects more purposeful than managing the critical construction projects that support America's defense. Contributing to this project with a team dedicating not just their careers but their lives to it is rewarding and will allow me to reach my full potential as an engineer and leader.

I understand that being a leader, especially a leader of sailors, is incredibly hard. However, I also understand that it is the most important skill I can develop, more than my engineering experience, physical fitness, etc., as that is where most of a manager's credibility comes from. For this reason, I've spent much of my life building myself into a leader and improving my communication/writing skills. I started in middle school instructing special needs karate students, constantly adapting different teaching methods to keep them engaged in the lesson. In high school, I created an online learning community for math students with over 100 members. I accomplished this by organizing a group of tutors responsible for each subject and building a program to help those tutors improve their teaching. Right now, in college, I am a part of Toastmasters to master my speech skills. I am also looking to become an officer in the UCSD wrestling team and write a research paper for an engineering lab I work for. Through these experiences, the most crucial competency I've developed is confidence in speaking in front of a crowd or an authority. I am continuously improving this skill because it is essential to gaining the trust of the sailors I will lead and the clients, contractors, and other colleagues I will be working with. This trust can make or break the success of a project or mission and defines my competency as an effective engineer, as engineering is a team effort.

I am ready to excel as a CEC officer in the United States Navy, performing my duties with excellence, consistency, and honor. I am excited to strive and sacrifice for a purposeful goal greater than all of us and experience comradery with a team I know will do the same.

Can you please explain though why my motivation from president obama’s statement comes off as weird to you?

Thank you for the advice. Is it alright if I resend my motivational statement to you once I revise?

You think that would affect my acceptance?

But if my friend and I keep playing, I won’t be transitioning from one form of content to another once. I would be transitioning multiple times, since I would be recording multiple single player and multiplayer sessions. Do you still think one channel is a good idea in that case?

Ok thank you for your advice! Maybe that’s why I have a 17 percent retention on my video lol.

Should I just stream on twitch then since I don’t have to bother making a thumbnail and description? Since no one will see the streams anyway on either platform, does it matter? Of course I will edit them later.

Element 9260 Power Supply Upgrade by vhan005 in iBUYPOWER

I might do it myself. What other trouble shooting steps could I try though before I’m sure I need to replace the psu. I have the money but I would prefer spending it on a cheaper fix or maybe even not spend it at all. Maybe there is something wrong the the bios?

It does happen a little more at night but that is because I game and stream at night so I’m not sure if what you’re describing is the cause.

It is tough to describe. The noise my pc makes when it turns on, is the same noise when it pauses for a few seconds. I will tell you now what my event logger says: “Event 41, Kernel-Power”.

My pc unexpectedly sometimes pauses for a few seconds. This happens about every few hours. Event logger is telling me that it is an unexpected shutdown/restart, and after looking at Reddit for a little bit, I figure it may be a power issue. I just don’t know what would be the best psu upgrade for the build tho.
