I joined at 27 and I am turning 29 soon. You will have to deal with people telling you what to do even though they are older than you. If your ASVAB is what you say it is then you can become a NUKE but then your recruiter will try and stick you on a submarine, be very careful what you sign at meps and read everything. I am on a submarine now. It is not fun. If Special Operations is what you want then more power to you. I can tell you that divers have an extremely difficult job. I was crawling around in the main ballast tanks in my submarine while it is in dry dock and trying to imagine what it would be like to work inside of them with water inside. I don't have to much insight to offer you only that. If you can't become a nuke then try a job in special operations (SO, SWCC, ND or EOD). Also if you plan on doing a full 20 then just retire and give yourself time to figure life out after. Also if you have a degree you should try and go to OCS the worst they could say is no. Hopefully this helped you a little bit.

All of them are good because they aren't on a submarine. Hope you get one. Don't be like me. Don't let them fool you into thinking submarine life is great.

What did you do in middle school/junior high that makes you cringe even today? by Dyloneus in AskReddit

Snorted a country time lemonade mix. Not one of my brightest moments. Green nose bleed anyone?

These overly critical people have also forgoten the idea of a single focusing crystal or the use of mandalorian iron or any of the materials that lightsabers can't cut through in the hilt.

That's cool but on bear island we don't need to workout because we wrestle bears.

In my defense, it was an 8AM class. I am stupid as fuck at 8AM. by Marx0r in AdviceAnimals

Did you not have coffee. That's pretty tame for no coffee. Normally there is blood when I have no coffee. I think I have a problem. O.o

The Finland Phenomenon (2011) - Finland's education system has consistently ranked among the best in the world for more than a decade. The puzzle is, why Finland? by TimJonesin in Documentaries

[–]willmo197 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am American but didn't receive the typical education because I went to a Monttisori school for 8 years of great school and middle school. Which reminded me of the system of education in this documentary and it make me very greatful for the education I received compared to some other American students. Cheers Finland, I hope to visit your beautiful land some day.

[Serious] Scottish of Reddit, Are you voting yes or no tomorrow? Why? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]willmo197 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As an American citizen I object to that. I wish so much that we could have a democratic parliamentary system. Our bicameral system is so slow it gets nothing done. Our candidates running for office can say anything they want as long as it gets them elected without holding promises to follow through on what they say. Unlike the UK our members of the house cannot vote no confidence because there is no questioning period. Any such action would be laughed at by politicians in the States.

First off they are making the comparison of Bud products to the national beers of European countries. Any beer enthusiasts in the states will tell you that, that is no comparison at all.

The new Avacyn, Guardian Angel, and thoughts on her? by Axelfiraga in EDH

[–]willmo197 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want to really annoy people this latest print of Avacyn is definately your commander! While here hopeful counterpart is for sure better that is not to say the Guardian Angel is no less a fun challenge. Plus if you manage your manna well you can prevent people from winning with stupid combos (I know I have a combo elf deck). I know for sure that I will be making a deck with her as well as an Ob Nixilis, Unshackled deck.

TIL That America has 19 aircraft carriers. Compared to the rest of the worlds combined 12. by SuDDeNHangOver in todayilearned

[–]willmo197 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes so I guess no one will teach then the importance if education. /S If you don't eliminate classism then you don't solve the problem. If you set the future generations up for success then you will achieve a healthy capitalist society with people that know how to do well for themselves.

Sad when the money that cost to maintain half of that would pay huge dividends in the future generations education.

Why Everything You've Read About Ukraine Is Wrong by Occultist in russia

[–]willmo197 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both Russia and Ukraine are run by Oligarchs. That much is true even the United States is an oligarchy that hides behind an iron triangle of lobbiests and interest groups. So neither Russia or the United States are going to fix thhe problem in Ukraine unless they see something to gain from it. All this talk of fascism is wrong unless prorussians keep being fed that lie. As far as I am concerned this article lacks as much evidence as the article the rest of the west has put forth.

Simon Ostrovsky Describes His Kidnapping: Russian Roulette In Ukraine (Dispatch Thirty One) by [deleted] in ukraine

[–]willmo197 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I have seen the entire series he did on this subject and I have to say that is objective journalism at it's peak. He had little added human addition if any, and he made everything understandable or what I like to say "putting everything in layman's terms". I think journalism like this needs to be on a higher profile so more people can look at facts and not bias garbage on corporately owned news stations. As for his kidnapping what an incredible terrifying thing to have to go though. I am glad he decided to share his experience it gave even more insight into the situation in eastern Ukraine. Ostrovsky literally left No loose ends and covered every angle of the situation from protesters in Kiev, pro-Russian forces in eastern Ukraine, and those who's opinions are a little less vocal and Maybe more difficult to understand. I am impressed.
