relators in California: 215,477
population of California: 39.24 million
so 215k/39.2M = .54% of the population are relators
57,155 military spouses in California
if they are relators at the same rate as the general population
.54% * 57,155 = 313 additional real estate agents.
so a .14% increase in the number of agents.
Better get out your pitchfork and get up to the state capital. Fuck those spouses and fuck the people in the military. How dare they trample on the rights of active agents in California. All 215,477 agents might as well find another line of work. 313 new agents in California. You're fucked Gil. They should have to go to 23 hours of training and take a 10 question multiple question test like you did or they should get the fuck out of the business.

Is it a done deal?
We're moving shit off databricks and into clickhouse. Much cheaper and faster.
Happy to hear what you're doing and make a recommendation.

Haven’t seen a televised pounding like this since Oz went off the air.
Was thinking Rodney King, but Oz also acceptable.

haha, that's in my hood.
Been twice, never going back.
First time, the pasta machine was broke, so we had our choice of a couple of different sandwiches. Kid and I split a meatball sandwich. The bread was a square focaccia, each side being an inch or so thick, with two inch meatballs, making the sandwich about 4 inches tall. No idea how you were supposed to eat it.
Second time we went took both boys, neither of which saw a thing on the menu they wanted. They are picky eaters but I didn't really blame them as the choices were crap. Ended up ordering carbonara and it was horrible.
Really sucks as it's the only place within 10 minutes of our house. I've heard they've added some kid friendly stuff, but we're not ever going back.

I have ryobi, have drill, impact wrench, saw, heat gun, flash light and a few other things I'm forgetting.
It's been great and every time I've thought, "no way they have a ___", they have had one.
Next purchase is probably the air compressor.

My roommate at Texas was in the engineering school, navy approached him to join the Nuke program after school. Bunch of benefits in the meantime like having his school paid for, stipend, etc etc in return for 6 or 7 year commitment. Can remember all the details super specifically. He decided to join, wasn't from a wealthy family so it was kind of a no brainer. Continued school as normal and had to maintain certain grades. He was brilliant, able to join a frat, party, and maintain above a 3.8 GPA.
Went to schooling in Charleston, Upstate New York wherever that horse race is, then went out to Bangor and lived on Bainbridge. Visited him in all locations. He would do 6 months on 6 months off on what I believe was a FAST attack sub. He did a ton of school, only went out 2 times I believe, then they moved him to Naples for some sort of MED command center. Bought a 2nd house in the central mountains that he still has.
I forgot to mention, he became fluent in Russian while he was in school. Thought it would help him get into some state department shit. Of course, the Navy decides....hmmm we don't need more Russian speakers let's send him to Middle East. So now he is in Monterrey, CA getting paid and a housing allowance to learn Arabic. He is becoming the Navy Attache to the embassy in Abu Dhabi.
Dude is fucking brilliant and awesome, married to another fellow Longhorn, and has 2 daughters under 3 years old. This is there last Christmas in the US for the foreseeable future and I look forward to once again seeing him over there.
The New York place is Ballston Spa which is right next to Saratoga. I spent 6 months there as well.
Bangor is a boomer base. They do 3 months on/3 month off rotations.
Hats off to the dude, was hoping to get a scholarship of some sort, go back to UT and go back in as an officer. Ended up getting an NROTC scholarship but my eyesight was so bad they wouldn't let me go saying it was so close to not allowing me in the Navy they were afraid it would get worse and prevent me from coming back in.

Pick a team and pay them the number below the team. If that team makes the final you can buy a ticket at face for the game. If they don't make the game you kiss your money good bye.

I was sick of school after my sophomore year of college, so I hit up the local navy recruiter. Scored 100 on the ASVAB, and shit blew up. Got offered a $30k signing bonus to go to nuke school. My old man talked me off the ledge. He told me "you realize that you will be stuffed into the reactor room of a ship or sub for the next twenty years, don't you?" Stupid me was wondering how he could be so sure. He followed up with, "what runs on nuclear power other than those two items?" Wasn't the only time his logical thinking bailed me out.

There's good and bad. You didn't have to stay in 20 years, all the smart people got out after 6. The ones I've kept in touch with have all been very successful in whatever career they chose.

Yep, spent 6 years in, served on two subs

False. We got fucked all the time. In the shipyard we worked 7 days a week for 6 weeks strait a couple of different times. The non nukes were working about 20 hours a week during that time
1 hour ago, CHIEF said:The ASVAB didn't really have much complicated math or physics, which is why I did so well. I imagine I would have gotten washed out in A or B and would have landed in the "needs of the navy" scrapyard.

Yeah, the asvab was mostly 7th grade and below math. When I took it in 89 I think perfect score was 125, I got 123 and remember being pissed I missed 2 questions.
54 minutes ago, Not a Sock said:Yeah, the work load at nuke school is supposedly pretty brutal but at the same time they don’t subject them to your typical school navy crap those guys are stressed enough.
Yeah, go to class from 8am to 5pm and be expected to study 5 hours a night and 5-10 on the weekend. I already had a few years of EE at UT so a lot of it was review for me, others struggled hard. Basically shove a 4 year nuclear engineering degree down your throat in 6 months. About a 30% drop out rate.
42 minutes ago, Schulz2.0 said:Nah, nukes get fucked in unique ways that the majority of other sailors don't. The work load is always high the entire time you're in. You work 3 or 4 section duty while others work 6 or 8. A critique and mast is just one mistake away, etc. @FartingMonk is another nuke here IIRC.
correct. I'm the other one.

How long was he in? Never thought about making a claim if I develop cancer.
