  1. Literally laundry duty.

  2. There are very affordable community/junior colleges in every single county in the country.

  3. Actual reason: School districts don’t have money for fancy buses. Anything modern requires investment into R&D and coach builders simply won’t be able to recoup the costs.

  4. Combat versus general life are very different.

  5. As a point, almost of of the world’s train companies LOSE money. I believe only two actually turn a profit, though barely.

  6.  @kehenabeach4418  Again, SARS, MERS and a few others are recent examples of coronaviruses that have been properly eradicated, post outbreak. You can’t use some examples of ones that haven’t been eradicate and then say ALL cannot be. Some can and some cannot.

  7. Why do the Coast Guard, Navy, Space Force and Air Force have just 8 week boot camps? Look at their average ASVAB scores and you’ll know why.

  9. “Base pay for a sailor is about $22,000 a year.” While a fact, it’s misunderstood by most. First off, ALL military branches in the US are paid the same, according to federal law. There are pay grades. For most (not all) recruits, the base pay is E (stands for enlisted) - 1. E-1 base pay in 2022 is $1833.30 per month. It is taxed, federally. However, service members get allowances in top of base pay. There are allowances for food, housing and special duties. Currently the BAS (food) is $406.98 (not taxed.) During initial training you get all meals free, so no BAS. After that you pay for them out of that allowance. Housing is usually free for junior members who are not married (aboard a ship or in barracks), but if they didn’t receive free housing, an E-1 sailor without a dependent (spouse or child) would additionally receive $1,350 if they were stationed in North Chicago. The rate depends on where you are stationed. This amount is also tax-free. You get free uniform issue occasionally and get an allowance for additional items and upkeep. As mentioned in the video, submarine service gets extra duty pay, just as flight duty, hazardous duty and many others. You also don’t stay E-1 for long. You are automatically promoted to E-2 at the completion of boot camp (in the Navy, other services are slightly different), and then to E-3 after nine as E-2 and passing exams. So your base and housing allowances progress pretty quickly. E-3 base pay is $2,160.60 per month. The longer you serve and the higher your rank/pay grade, the more you earn.

  11. mha hart mah sole Having the engine in the front is the safest in impacts and fires. Having engines in the rear makes the bus shorter, so in urban environments, it is more maneuverable. Since in the US, most school buses operate down big, suburban streets, their length isn’t an issue.

  15.  @ericcousino2068  In 2001, you changed your title from Trainee to Airman at the end of Warrior Week (Week 5), when you received your Airman’s coin. Week 6 (your last week back then) you wore blues instead of BDUs and with rank on them.

  16.  @kalebdoom7944  For the Air Force? You don’t need to study for the ASVAB. It is too broad to study for it. It’d there to assess your general education level and see what areas you know better than others.

  17.  @용갈이-m3h  Zero. You do it on your own time.

  18.  @용갈이-m3h  In BMT? No. I meant in the real Air Force. In BMT you do PT 6 days a week, with Sundays off. You get two PT tests, a preliminary and an actual. You need push-ups, sit-ups and a choice of a 1.5 mile run or a 2 mile fast walk (the run is easier).

  19.  @captaineric5276  Subday off? No. 😂 You get like two hours to go to church and you don’t PT. The rest of the day is spent working. Laundry, cleaning, setting up your PLA, the dorm, the uniform, etc. There are no days off in BMT.

  21.  @kehenabeach4418  Absolutely false. Viruses are eradicated constantly. Ever hear of SARS or MERS? Look it up!

  22.  @kehenabeach4418  SARS-CoV-2 is NOT the SARS (SARS-CoV as it now known) virus. There have been ZERO cases of that virus since 2004. Also, when it comes to MERS, only 13 cases were found in 2021: 12 of them in Saudi Arabia and 1 in the UAE, but the important fact about those cases is that all 13 were primary human infections from camels. No human to human transmission occurred. The 2574 number is MERS cases that have ever been reported to date, not cases in 2021. Again… go to school, then you’ll be able to comprehend basic facts.

  23.  @kehenabeach4418  SARS is not a general label, you pathetic little troll! It’s an actual virus that preceded SARS-CoV-2, and by now you already know it. You also know you’re 100% wrong, but you’re not intelligent enough to admit it. You’re done. Both viruses have been eradicated according to science: biology. There is no recorded transmission of either one. Bye Felicia! Go give your Q god your kidney!

  24. Well that’s a bunch of bullshit. The Javits center treated over 4,000 patients since it was opened.

  25.  @Pilgrim-Of-Light  It’s true, especially the first few weeks. Time picks up quick toward the end.

  26.  @leahdrarry915  No, not really. The work isn’t actually intense. Boot camp is just 8 months and much of it is classroom or waiting around. Sure, it is stressful at times, but military work is. After that you go to a school to learn your job or into the fleet. It’s nog intense there either. This is a career that is open to completely unskilled people, with fantastic benefits.
