I actually live really close to a base and go there for the gym, but that's only because Naval Medical Center San Diego happens to be in a nice part of the city.

Some are better than others. A lot of colleges are still stuck in a phase where vets are to be treated like lepers.

I think having a MoH-recipient as a student at my school really helped boost the visibility of ours.

Not that I've done much with it. Most of the older vets seem to hang out on their own, and that's lame. Being friends with 21 year olds makes me feel young.

Mine is near-ish a lot of big bases so I'm assuming it'll have an active one. I'll only really need to ask some GI bill questions. Hopefully they can help with that at least. Oh and that they have a computer with a CAC reader (gently caress you BOL)

Vet priority registration is pretty drat sweet.

In my school's case, the vet lounge is in the same building as the actual mentally handicapped. It's like the cast of the Ringer inside that building.

I made my appointment to clear my barracks room two months before my final leave date. They still made an appointment that was a few days after and said I would have just have to wait for them. So I just forged their signature, cleared post, mostly cleaned my room, left a bag of trash in the middle of the room, and kicked my key under my roommates door.

A month later (after I had ETSed) I got a call saying I had to drive to Bragg and clean my room. I've never laughed so hard.

You'll be fine. It's just more of the same. Identifying, and plotting functions without using a calculator. You'll see some new functions for circles, learn about mins and maxes and probably learn how to take derivatives to get those without the word "derivative" ever coming up, Summations, Series. You'll probably be introduced to the formula for the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, which is just a way of finding the area under a curve on a given interval. Calc 1 is basically all that stuff all over again with a bigger emphasis on taking derivatives, optimization(mins and maxes), finding limits and more things in the form of FVT (like the Mean Value Theorem).

I'm in pre-calc now and have been anxious about taking calc next year, but I hadn't even thought of learning it ahead of time on khanacademy.

Another great free video resource for math are the channels patrickjmt and integralcalc

the best paid videos I've seen are produced by The Great Courses. These cover a lot more theory and are pretty much what you'd expect from a college lecture, but they're broken down pretty well. Great for watching after you've covered something in class but need more/different explanation.

That poo poo is how I made up for days I skipped because my calc class was at 8am. Then I started using it all the time because it was much better than just doing problems from the book. There is also some other nerds calculus website that is all much more direct.



Edit:gently caress math though. I was doing that poo poo before I decided I wanted to be a lawyer. Taking a bunch of calc based science classes made me feel like less of a retard, but ultimately was a stupid idea because I got loving Cs

I've realized that college would be much more enjoyable if I spend as little time as possible on campus. My next quarter is half online and half in class. Only two days a week sitting in a room. I'm very happy with that.

yeah, I hated math in high school, and I've never taken any kind of calculus but I just try to look at it objectively, as a learned skill, but I'm still pretty scared of it. I know I have to do Calc II for my major now, but I'm thinking of applying to change to Civ Engineering which would be Calc III and Dif Equations, and I don't even know what any of that means.

Diff Eq is a where you take a lot of the math concepts you've already learned and apply them to solve real problems. If you've ever taken any physics classes, some of the stuff you're doing there involves differential equations.

I hated everything up through Calc III, and I'll probably have to go dig out a textbook and re-learn it again soon, but it's all useful knowledge once you see how it can be applied.
