I took the ASVAB and went through MEPS last week for the Navy. Got a 99 AFQT score, and was cleared medically.
They said I'm probably too old for NUPOC (26), and the better jobs (AECF) weren't available at the moment. I have around 120 college credits already with my Electrical Engineering degree, but my GPA is not really competitive enough for OCS.
I'll go back later this week to try to select a job. Anyone know of some really good programs I should look at? It doesn't have to be in the Navy, but I'd like...

may have some more specific advice for you on this matter. However, I'm going to step outside the box for a moment and suggest that, while not really a thing in the modern navy, you consider the possibility of working not with electronics and computers so much as with wood. There's no wrong time to get started in carpentry.

go ask your recruiter you lazy piece of shit

Look man take my advice, don't take a job unless you're damn certain you want it. Don't take just anything because you're desperate.

I'm in a bit of a rut here /adv/
I noticed thateltdowns have been more frequent my moods shift One week I'm on top of the world and ready for anything then the next I want to just disappear , but what bothers me the most is that i sudden outburst of uncontrollable laughter that either end in me crying or goingbon for an 5 min+ andy worst fear is to have another episode in front of the public. I already had one in the break room while I was talking to few coworkers and a supervisor. I tried to explain this is normal but they had gotten up and left the table in silence.My mind is constantly thinking and I find it very draining to the topoint where I have to shut down and work in silence despite having to deal with the public on register and I don't think that's fair to the guest that come to me for checkout. Every now and then I manage to force myself to smile but it only makes things worst and I'm left teary eyed when I really shouldn't be
>Constantly scattered brained and it seems like I've been losing track of everything both physically and mentally
Should I just shrug it all off or seek help?
>>16786825
seek help ASAP
What job are you in? It sounds as though stress, combined with a toxic working environment, is having a severe effect on your ability to get along. Are you sure you're in the right job? It's never too late to think about creative and out-of-the-box career moves, such as retraining as a carpenter. As your own boss, doing rewarding and interesting work making things from wood, you can cut the anxiety and add real value for your clients, in a friendly and congenial work-life balance.

I would love to but I have no real clue where to start or if I should
>>16786834
I work as a cashier at target, but I'm actively looking for something else. As for that I've actually been wanting to get into culinary bartend or even animal grooming, but I've been told to get a job with benefits and it wouldn't do me much good
though I'm still curious about them. I'm even considering a city job just a matter of catching entrance exams
>had an interview at barnes and nobles two weeks ago
>they said that I would get a response in two weeks on the monday, if none then call them
>called them last Tuesday just to check up on status
>nothing much
>two weeks later
>no call yesterday
So, what do I do now? I need this job and I am thinking about calling them today. I don't know what to do. Advice?
Sounds like your coming to realize the shortfalls of trying to find a career in the brick-and-mortar retail world. If you study carpentry, you can negotiate each job with the client in a frank and personal way, get on the project, and be finished and paid before B&N have even got back to you. There's an enjoyable and lucrative career waiting for you in the woodwork sector!

In your intestines are billions of "good" bacteria - there are actually more of them than there are cells of you. In return for a nice warm place to live, they do some of your pre-digesting for you.
So that's why you have to live - to provide a home for billions of friendly bacteria who never did you any harm.

No. She is just a girl and that is what girls are like.
Meet up with her and see how things go in person.

Going for it, despite my better judgement, because of how hot she is.
Im a male, and I shaved my legs (which had not been shaved in my 20 years of life) 1 month ago
now I still have those damn red bumps on my thighs

>>16786726
Use the hair removal cream.

Does that get rid of the bumps i have?

Razor bump cream should help
And how do I force myself to study
Maybe you aren't interested in what you're studying. Try moving around, and working with your hands for a bit. Carpentry and woodworking is a great place to start.
>>16786709
Leave your house and go to the library where there is nothing distracting you and all your other material possessions are out of arms reach. This includes your phone; if you can't study to begin with, then having it around you isn't going to help you.
>>16786709
The cool thing about your body is you never have negotiate with it since it is your slave. If you decide to study you can just go study, there's no need to coerce your body into doing it, you can just fucking do it. Studying isn't fun. Living real life involves facing real consequences which is scary. Fucking around on 4chan or playing computer games or whatever distracts you from life and so relieves the stress of life, but at the expense of wasting your life. So just go study.
Which programming niche should I stick to: cyber security and "hacking" tool development, or game development?
I usually bounce between the two, and I think I'm spreading myself too thin. Which one should I specialize in?
>>16786702
which one do you like more
>>16786715
I have no idea. I like both, and have developed for both niches in the past. However, as I'm employed now, it's impossible for me to do both.
I would assume cyber security would get you better wages and a more fulfilling job. Game development strikes me as unrewarding unless you're very lucky and don't work for a major company.

Friend had the 1290, crazy small, light and supper powerful. I imagine the 390 would have less power. Bike felt smaller than an old Ninja 600... to me anyway.
Hi /adv/
I've had the longest writers block. 3-4 years I think. Been cruising from band to band, playing drums. It's been fun, but I felt like it was all to just hide behind the fact that I can't come up with anything on my own anymore.
I've also stopped discovering new music in a good while, but I think it just comes with the age (now 24).
I've just started a new band with some friends and I feel a lot of weight on me as the progression is rather slow, since I'm the driving force yet almost incapable of creating anything new of...

I will never have the one girl I want. Of all the billions of girls out there, I had to fall in love in the one I can't have. I'm not talking about unrequited love- I'd actually prefer that to this. She loves me (or so she says so), but her religion forbids her marriage to me. Her parents would never allow it. Her religion would never allow it. She's legally allowed to be executed once she leaves it, and I'm not going to convert to a religion that has that authority. Eloping is considered kidnapping, even if she gives explicit consent. Life imprisonment for the kidnapper. We're together, but this will only last until the next year or so, when her parents find her a suitable suitor. She will marry him, sooner or later she will fall in love with him, and they will be happy. Of that I am sure. I will be no more than a name in the list of people she will one day describe as 'non-serious relationships'. And yet I love her. How can I listen to her say she loves me when five minutes later she's talking about the things she wants to do with her husband? How do you make the pain go away, /adv/?

Find a blonde white Christian traditionalist girl to marry and stop being a filthy degenerate race traitor? You deserve everything

Other than the Romeo & Juliet narrative around her, what makes this girl special to you?
Love strikes when it strikes and very often it lights upon the most inappropriate people and unfortunate time. I am assuming that your young lady is a Muslim and that she does not live in the West. If she lives in a Western country she is free to do what any other Western girl can do but at the risk of losing her family connections. If she lives in a traditional Muslim country then things are a bit more complicated. If she is truly at risk for death for apostasy then your choice is clear. You must accept things as they are and leave your relationship or convert to Islam. There...
