Yep, I do this and men frequently run directly into me and get pissed about it. My brother in Christ, it’s not my fault to the right of the sidewalk is a brick wall - I cannot move out of your way!
I went by myself and it was a great experience. Everyone was kind of in their own world anyway, and I had more time to talk with the guys after the show while getting merch signed.
I have two master’s degrees. :)
My enlisted career was about as different from my degrees and professional career as possible! Social science background and went into emergency management (cbrn) - but my degrees are directly related to my commissioned afsc! I think you’ve got a great attitude going in.
Happy to help! And I had a couple advanced degrees when I enlisted - I just wanted to do something different from my corporate job and ended up loving it. I did six months on “seasoning” orders then took orders for a full time position within the squadron for about six more months. I graduated tech school Feb 2016, applied for an AD board fall 2016, got selected may 2017, went to OTS Jan 2018 so probably not the typical timeline. Reserve airmen count as civilian applicants for the active duty board, so it was probably just one of several factors but I was accomplishing a lot in the squadron and wing so my recommendations were pretty decent.
I’ve been in ten years (enlisted reserve then active duty officer) and have generally loved my time in. I always worked to be the best I could be and when I succeeded people around me would loudly say it’s because I was a woman. One of such was my supervisor who would fuck off every drill weekend to play ping pong and smoke while I led the shop… I have made some of my closest friends with men and women I’ve worked with and would trust those people with anything.
However, sexual harassment and assault are VERY real threats. There were instances I brushed off when enlisted, but as an officer, when a person I was close to professionally and personally harassed a friend and I also had to speak out about his harassment, it all came flooding back and I realized just how much I put up with and shouldn’t have. All I can do is speak up for myself and particularly for others.
When I was enlisted, I let a lot slide to keep the peace and when I did report someone, my SEL told me to drop it since the guy was PCSing anyway “and they gave him a warning.”
So yeah. I’d recommend being the one to help others who may be too afraid to help themselves!
Where is trump’s secret army when we need it to save us from these horrors?
It’s pretty close to an army base, and a university with a STEM focus, so likely one of those.
So you’re saying undercover Chinese military members aren’t in mid Missouri to hurt cell service?!
Congratulations on your acceptance! Concurring with everyone that your activities are all things to find here in Chicago. I’m big on metal/punk/pop punk/hardcore shows and there’s so many options here that I’ve had to be careful about double booking shows.
It’s gorgeous! I got a sunbather tattoo recently too.
If you mean Betty, it’s about a pet rat. :)
Essentially, yes. I came in knowing my topic, but not exactly HOW I wanted to approach it, but worked that out quickly with my advisor. I started in Sept and will be ABD by this summer. It helps not having to be a TA or an RA, and not having the extreme financial insecurity of a stipend since we get our regular pay, so it does tend to be much easier just from those two things.
I’m one of those people! 1.5 for a master’s or 3 for a PhD. If someone commissioned and used tuition assistance for a master’s, it’s a great deal.
Hey there! Yes I am working with her now. :) send me a message if you’d like to chat more
Usually I’ll stay and enjoy all of the bands playing but I left the Coheed and Cambria show after Deafheaven - I enjoy Coheed but it was my second time for this particular tour and didn’t feel the need to hear it a second time. Plus easy barricade since so many Coheed fans didn’t care for Deafheaven so they let me temporarily slide in.
I went for knocked loose but ended up staying and having a blast the whole show!
Nice! Got mine, thanks
