Eh, close enough.

you won't see any military trainers reaching such high numbers 
worst i've had to endure was a stall recovery during aerobatics at 200 km/h (correction, nosedive after a stall. gliders dont stall at 200 kmh lol)

"trainers"?

5,3G for 5 seconds
no g-suit
i cannot tell you how hard that is to endure

Well, I'm not a air force pilot, so y'know.
I jump out of them, but I don't fly them.

the difference between 3 and 4 is bigger compared to 2 and 3

No ty.

i don't know where people get the courage to do this stuff lol
jovial dragon
I do know where I get mine half the time.

but uh, you keep any spare underwear in your medic bag?
i sure as hell would need to
i rarely fly with a chute
if i'm not mistaken you'd need at least 400m altitude to deploy one properly

Just whip it out and shit in the sky
You won't have to worry about it until you land anyway

Just whip it out and shit in the sky
you keep on surprising me
that's in a good way

You won't have to worry about it until you land anyway
you could call that a proper airstrike

Also seriously, the pressure of saving lives is not for everyone.

Do they give you mandatory psych eval?
jovial dragon
You do when you enlist, yeah.

I pull like $50,000/year.

3 month tours?
jovial dragon
Which may not sound like a lotz but considering my insurance covers everything with no out of pocket charges, ever. Gear allowance, housing allowances, all sorts of other shit.
dry bison
Even reserve with a 3 month tour of duty a year would've been nice.
jovial dragon
That $50,000 then becomes a lot.
jovial dragon
at 22? damn
It's not usual, but it's also not unusual
I'd still be stuck at Technical Sergeant, but because they got rid of TIS/TIG for some reason I was able to slip my way into Master Sergeant.

i don't know the average income in the US

zenith pebble
you can make 50k at 22 pretty easily, thats lower than some of the top paying bachelor degrees in the US
jovial dragon
Yeah, it is. But considering they literally pay for half my expenses, it becomes a lot more.
Out of the $3,000 I make a month, I pocket almost all of it
dry bison
and you get to see all over the place and meet different people
tacit girder
if i can get the job i want, (medical endocrinology researcher) i'd be looking at at least 12000eur/month

They take like...$200 a month in taxes off my income.

endocrinology-related jobs also pay stupidly well. there aren't many people who specialize in that specific area, at least over here

I make about 40k a year, and that's well above average for Portugal.

Dutch government also gives 150eur a month to all people who are over 18 and still in high school

I thought you worked in the medical industry?
its a side job
i don't work many hours
jovial dragon
Ooh, that makes sense.
tacit girder
i also work very inconsistently. i can work 2 hours one week, and 10 the other.
jovial dragon
Jesus.
An O-10 with the same about of TIS as me, albiet it aoiod be significantly more TIS, would make $230,000/year.
tacit girder
but i also have times where i get scheduled, but there is no one that needs help/care so i am allowed to stay at home but get paid the full amount
i worked for 1,5 hours last week but got scheduled for 8,5

tacit girder
Somedays I wish I could just work a desk job, I'll be honest

desk jobs can also get really boring sometimes

Being an SNCO is pretty rad.

i don't dislike going to work, and i get to see grateful people every time

You live in what nation?
Netherlands
jovial dragon
Mmmm, right. Otherwise I'd reccomend the U.S Military, though you still could if you move here.
Doesn't even need to be a Special Warfare position like mine.
elder shale
Lol
jovial dragon
Anytime someone doesn't know what to do, I tell them go to the military, great benefits, great career. It's also easy as fuck in the grand scheme of things.
wheat burrow
yeah, i find it so interesting.
endocrinology-related jobs also pay stupidly wel...
I have regular trips to my endocrinologist due to thyroid stuffs. There’s a few here for sure, not all of them are particularly good though from my experience.
jovial dragon
Not qualified for the job? Fine. They'll make you qualified for it.
tacit girder
I basically assist people who have tasks they can't (properly) do themselves. Sometimes in a hospital, sometimes in a caregiving centre, and sometimes at their own homes. It's pretty grateful work.
jovial dragon
That's what's so great about it.
As long as you fit the ASVAB score, they will make you qualified for whatever it is you want to do.
tacit girder
I think caregiver would be the closest term to describe it, but its also not really that, since i do a very broad range of things.
jovial dragon
I basically assist people who have tasks they can't (properly) do themselves. So...
So, like a nurse?
Kinda?
tacit girder
Not really, my work isn't exclusively medical related
I also make sure their environment is clean or even get their groceries if needed
dry bison
So like a caregiver
tacit girder
Yeah, that's what it comes down to.
tacit girder
Caregiver premium™️
dry bison
The Ontario Government has been trying to undercut our healthcare with privatized health services through caregiver services, acting like they're a substitute for a nurse
jovial dragon
That's not....man, it's just uninteresting to me, I guess?
I mean, respect, because like my job, someone has to do it.
tacit girder
That's not....man, it's just uninteresting to me, I guess?
Oh i fully understand
jovial dragon
But most won't.
elder shale
imo all jobs are required, so there's always gonna be a need of people to do them, just gotta respect it ye
dry bison
Nothing wrong with caregivers.
tacit girder
It's just very laid back work and it pays well. And it is easy to combine with my school stuff, which is the main reason i do it
jovial dragon
Maybe it's because I'm young and I like the adrenaline, but I like being in the middle of the action.
Which admittedly could very well kill me. Almost has once, but...I dunno.

I'm still in school. I don't need an exciting job right now. I like the gratefulness the people give and the money it pays
