Do consider the lifestyle though. Stability is wonderful, but not if daily life would be miserable for you. Military life can be really hard. Scatmandingo is right that it's be a good idea to talk to someone active duty (NOT A RECRUITMENT OFFICER OR SOMEONE THEY INTRODUCE YOU TO) and see what they think. 20 years is an incredibly long contract. My boyfriend signed on for six years in the Marines but I think he's wishing he did four. If you do decide to join, they will offer you a better deal the longer you commit to, but you can always reenlist if you commit to smaller increments. If I were you, and I decided the military was right for me, I would enlist for four years and then decide if I wanted to reenlist. You don't have to sign your life away, if you hate it and leave, you won't get retirement but there are other benefits. The GI bill and the fact that you can pass it on to dependents being one of them: you don't have to wait 20 years to get that.

My reference to the Marina was based on what I saw at my parents place when the order first came down. I had to fly back to Hawaii because I couldn't access my medication. Correlation isn't causation. San Fransisco isn't necessarily suffering because the government didn't act fast enough, but just because it's a population dense city and was one of the first places in the United States to be infected. But that certainly isn't justification for giving people medical advice during a pandemic. People should listen to expert epidemiologists. I understand you're frustrated with people not listening to social distancing orders, but that doesn't mean you should make up your own orders. Pointing out that lots of people are infected in Hawaii or San Fransisco doesn't change that you shouldn't be doing that.

I'm saying people should listen to the CDC, WHO, and their local governments. It's really not for people on the internet to be giving medical advice during a pandemic on whether or not they should go outside. We don't get to decide what's safe and unsafe, expert epidemiologists do.

Oh I agree. People aren't social distancing correctly. But you can go for a walk or a jog (provided you follow those rules) and so far residents in the Marina seem to be (in my opinion) pretty okay about it.

Thank you! I see these guys all the time. You've made my day

makeup, angles, fashion, hair as well

I would love to hear what your sources are on this. Hormone blockers are reversible, and plastic surgery for a sex change isn’t legal until 18, though some states allow 16 year olds with parental permission. And there is no medical intervention before the onset of puberty. Someone may have regretted publicly identifying one way, but in terms of irreversible acts, a child in the US couldn’t have had access to that. I would recommend a quick google search of what exactly is and isn’t reversible: there’s a lot of misinformation out there.

It depends! For a spacewalk that can be up to like ten hours, absolutely a high tech kind of diaper. For chillin in a space station, i think they just use their toilet

I agree, I’m not paying extra taxes just so they can look snazzy. I imagine their dress blues or whatever version of formal wear they go with will be nice enough anyway.

I think the fact that its almost impossible to get a high quality education without loans or parental help is what's being looked down on. It's more anti-prices than anti-parents help

There are some types of grad degrees that don't require full time commitment to courses. My roommate in vet school is working, she has in internship, but it frankly isn't possible for her to make enough at her job, though she works ALL THE TIME including christmas day, to pay for vet school. My dad's MBA program though, he works full time and has enough time for courses. You can't always be a part time student in grad school, but it is possible in some instances. For the MFA I'm applying for, there are some schools that offer a part time program over 5ish years, and some that will knock it out in 2ish years.
