That's good to hear. I was an NFO instructor at VT-86 and I generally did not have good experiences with Saudi students and I was not alone in that. There were a few outliers of course. The German and Singaporean students were much better in general.

Lots of Saudis in my undergrad program, and they are almost all exceptional students and a few of them that I knew personally were super cool heavy weedheads

The Saudis I've taught have been, amazingly, both good and bad students, almost as if their nationality doesn't matter, and they're individual people. Crazy I know.

When I was out East the only thing limiting me on blue crabs was time taken to shell the stupid little things. The biggest blue crab is smaller than the west coast minimum size.  Took me like 3 hours to eat these dumb guys.

From a secondhand connection it looks like the PCola shooting was not terrorism related. Gotta live waking up and thinking "well, wonder if any of my friends are dead this time" Also, because we live in the future, if you click on Reddit's "trending" Pensacola topic result #3 is some poor fucker trying to fulfill his hotwife fantasy amid this chaos

I'm about to email the reserve recruiter and tell him "No thanks." I'm happy with my active service and DD214. Don't want to open another can of worms by joining the reserves. I asked myself "What do you want?" in the long run with the Reserves and I couldn't come up with a good answer. To me Reservists exist to be mobilized for stop gap/unwanted billets. I don't want to do a mob just for the sake of doing one.

I advocate treating individuals as an individual. But that doesn't mean you can't make useful observations about different cultural groups. I work with manufacturers and material suppliers from all over the world on a weekly and daily basis and I'd be a lot less effective at my job if I didn't take cultural differences into account.

For someone who has active duty experience the reasons to affiliate are really only cheap insurance or you like your rate/designator or sense of shared misery.

Recruiter rogered out to my withdrawal. As a prior e to SWO Navy veteran, I don't have one more deployment in me. My love for the service is what got me interesting in joining the reserves after being out two and a half years, but I realized that it was more nostalgia than a real desire to serve. I don't want to commit to it half rear end just for a check in the box. Also my political and historical perspective on use of military force and national security has changed significantly since getting out. Finally, the healthcare benefits are moot because I'm starting a government job soon. If you're a reservist govvie, you are not eligible for reserve tricare.

This guy is in harbour at the moment It's no exaggeration to say it could wreck our entire navy and probably our whole military Two questions What's the hole for - towed sonar?  And what's this installation on top of the bridge? Some sort of launcher?
