Let's Decode What Depression Is And More

Today I will be going in depth about depression and decoding the word and reasoning with Numerology. We can already see that depression has a lot of repeated letters which shows there is too much of a focus on one thing and too much of something can usually hinder it or cause imbalance.
Let's break down the word DEPRESSION:
The word has E 2 times, S 2 times
D=4
E=5
P=7(16)
R=9(18)
E=5
S=1(19)
S=1(19)
I=9
O=6(15)
N=5(14)
Let's first focus on the obvious! This word has karmic debt numbers for the letters N, P, and S. Let's grab some context from a site that I will link below that explain what these karmic debt numbers mean in detail.
"The 14 Karmic Debt arises from previous actions where human freedom has been abused. Those with a 14 Karmic Debt are forced to adapt to ever-changing circumstances and unexpected occurrences. There is an acute danger of falling victim to drug abuse, alcohol, or overindulgence in sensual pleasures, such as food and sex. Moderation in all affairs is crucial to overcome this Karmic Debt." - credit goes to Karmic Debt Numbers in Numerology World Numerology
"The 16 Karmic Debt – in any area it appears in a chart - means destruction of the old and birth of the new. It is about the fall of the ego and all it has built for itself. It is a watershed, a cleansing. Things the ego has constructed to separate a person from the source of life, are destroyed.
Through the 16, reunion with higher consciousness may be achieved. This can be a painful process because it usually comes after much ego inflation, resulting in a struggle between the ego and higher ideals. Life will present challenges to your grand plans which you may resent and struggle against. It is a losing battle… and you will likely feel humbled in the face of the collapse that follows. However, humility is the key to later success, as you learn to follow the intimations of a deeper reality."
"A person with the 19 Karmic Debt will learn independence and the proper use of power. You will be placed in situations where you are forced to stand up for yourself (and often be left standing alone). One of the central lessons for people with the 19 Karmic Debt revolves around stubbornly resisting help from others. Much of your independence is self-imposed - you simply want to do it your own way.The 19 Karmic Debt can become a self-imposed prison if you don’t recognize the need for interdependence and the mutual need for love.Although you seek to stand on your own feet, you are inextricably connected to others and in need of the support and understanding that all people need - this is the most important lesson for the 19 Karmic Debt." And being personally connected to a lot of 19 energy, this is very true! There is one 19 person I watch on Youtube and he is using this energy pretty well.

DECODING DEPRESSION

Let's take a look at the word. You see it starts with the letter D which is ruled by the number 4 as the 4th letter in the alphabet. 4 energy is connected to privacy, home, family, discontent, restriction, and nonchalant energy. There is many more terms, but you can see where this is going. If you call certain companies toll free, listen to what they say you need to press number 4 for.
What just hit me as I looked at the word is the rest of the word after DE...PRESSION. Maybe there is something needing to be expressed(expression!) that isn't being expressed. All depression is, is suppression of something. D/4 can be suppression and withholding. That's why some jobs want you to fill out the W4 which is a withholding form! Depression comes when someone is choosing to withhold expression of emotions and genuine communication that can help. Taking caution to a whole new level and it ends up being destructive. 4 can point to dissipation which makes sense for destruction to mean what it means.
The word starts with the energy of 4 which is about withholding and suppression and end with the energy of 5 which can be conflicting.
All those letters and we only get to the number 5?!. This word is embedded with the energy of 1 and 9 which means that people who claim or feel depression CAN utilize their personal power to get themselves out of said depression. You have the right to process your emotions and once you do, you can start using your strength and power to overcome. Sometimes it starts with the mind.
Now, based on the letters and numbers with the word, let's see what numbers are missing!
We are missing 2,3,and 8! 2 gives a person a natural comfort within self. It can also make them loveable or easily cooperative with others. The energy of 3 gives a person natural optimism and majestic mental capacity. 8 gives a person a steadfast embedded powerful strength. This 8 energy gives a person unstoppable capability.
Getting over depression is about rising above a situation and having the capability of strengthening your perspective. Your confidence levels are something you have to personally master. Notice how depression ends with O and N which is 6 and 5. That's a backtrack. We're counting forwards, not backwards. 6 is about overcoming problems while 5 is the problems or insecurities. Depression ending with the energy of 5 is a thinkpiece. 5 deals with the uniqueness of a situation or action. You will have to do something different or new to wake up out of whatever this depression was about and understand that everyone's depression won't be the same!

I'm hesitant to post this but I'm desperate for advice from other non-monogamous people. Maybe this belongs in OCD instead?
My (40F) husband (40M) of 12 years (open for 6) is taking his first weekend trip to see another sex partner (NB27). They are a genuinely lovely individual. He met them at an event and they live a plane ride away. I want to be supportive of him, and I want him to have a great time, but since he told me he was going I have been struggling intensely with the fear of being replaced by someone who doesn't have all my problems, is much younger and objectively more attractive than me. I'm not putting myself down, they're super hot! Everything about this trip has touched a triggesensitive spot/negative core belief. I've taken weekend trips to meet up with people before so I feel like a complete hypocrite and awful partner. I haven't cried this much since I was taking care of a relative in hospice last year (relevant: 2023 was the most traumatic year of my life, it was loss after loss- my life hasn't been fun and he has been incredibly supportive throughout all of it.)
It doesn't help that I have OCD that centers on intrusive thoughts and rumination. Our communication is great and I've been doing everything I can think of to acclimate to this and transform my fear into as close to compersion as I can get- Rereading the classics, listening to podcasts, journaling, upping my therapy sessions, asking questions to microdose exposure to the trip, doing freaking DBT worksheets and exercises when I start to catastrophize/spiral. He's so excited for his trip and I... am absolutely miserable. I continue to be terrified that once he gets back I will be less attractive to him after a weekend of banging a hot younger person with a variety of magical sex powers. I'm afraid we will fall into the trap of "man replaces wife with younger model" even though he's never done anything to cause me not to trust him other than biting the tips off my pizza slices that I was going to bring to work one time as a prank. He has been so patient with me and willing to respectfully talk through my fears. He has reassured me and held me and told me how proud he is that I'm putting so much effort into growing. I know, in my rational mind, that he loves me more than anything in the world and would never replace me. I know that this trip is not a reflection of me or our marriage. I know that this is my trauma mixing with my OCD to create a poop smoothie of despair.
I'm so disappointed in my reaction to this. I desperately want to be excited for him but I just cannot get past my own trauma and anxiety and fear. So here are my questions:

1. How do I trick my brain into feeling, if not compersion, at least neutral towards this new part of his life?
2. How do I show myself kindness while I continue to put 110% effort into becoming a better partner?
3. Other than filling my time with positive and affirming activities, how do I make it through the weekend without breaking down, calling him for support and tarnishing his experience?

I'm not yet old enough to enlist, but I'm planning on doing so once I turn 17. I've done lots of research, and I think I want to be a 12b. As an engineer MOS, I'd assume it's a male-dominated area. I'm female. What's the situation like for a female soldier in a predominantly male field?
Also, would it be better to join an ROTC in college before enlisting, or go to a military academy, as opposed to being an enlisted soldier?

What’s the quality of life for a 68W wanting to be stationed in Hawaii? I’ve got an Option 19 on my contract and my wife and I are trying to decide a good location for her to be able to work and also enjoy not being stuck in BFE like we have most of our lives. 24M if that matters at all. Thanks in advance!

I am a college student, graduating in 8-14 months, for Management Information Systems. I have a lot of corporate software internship experience but I am looking to join the army because I can't imagine doing a desk job (at least at this point in life). Given my education I am only considering Intelligence or Cyber, and most likely 17C. As far as I've been informed nothing is as technical (software not hardware like 35T) or translates to post-service. I am looking to sign an option 40, spend a year in a Ranger Battalion, then go for special forces after I've given my time there. I've seen that Rangers are open to 17C enlistments. I am not signing a 18x contract because I have no experience with the military and I think would be better off taking it slow and acclimating both physically and mentally. I did not do army ROTC and at this point it is too late for me to join up. I am only interested in joining the army to go for Ranger or SF. Hopefully I can integrate my college and work experience into it, but if I had to make a decision I would prioritize RangeSF over getting the ideal technical MOS. I took the picat and got 99th percentile, not sure about line scores. Soon to go to MEPS. I am physically fit, but not at the level of rucking 100lbs for 8 hours. TLDR- I want action in the army as well as technical stuff, so I can do high priced contracting or maybe three letter work after I get out. Few questions: Is 17C my best bet? Should I look at OCS and how does that work (what part of the process)? What is the minimum time for a contract like this? Does this whole plan make sense? Please let me know if I am missing any information or if there are any different or better ideas. (Or ask me any questions)

What are the differences between 35L and 35M? How do I know which one is best for me to reclassify as?

Hello all! I am writing to get some clarification on MEPS. I am 22 years old and ready to serve my country. I have met with my recruiter and was asked about my medical history. I had a diagnosis of ADHD in high school, which I have now outgrown. I was also prescribed an antidepressant in 2018 (during high school) and again in 2021. I refilled both prescriptions twice in my life. I have been transparent with the recruiter and he suggested I fill out a waiver for the ADHD. I have obtained my prescription record which corroborates that I only refilled an antidepressant RX twice and have not taken medication or seen a doctor since 2021. As I entered adulthood I have learned to cope by eating healthier, staying active and educating himself on importance of maintaining a balanced lifestyle. My question is will MEPS disqualify me based on my history with depression from 3 years ago? Will I be ok to enlist? Have you had a similar experience? Thanking everyone in advance for your anticipated suggestions and guidance.

Im graduating high school in the summer and plan on enlisting in the Army. I've got around 5 months left for my braces and I saw online that you can't go to basic with braces. Should I visit my recruiter and pick a ship out date (after hashing everything out, including taking the ASVAB) or should I just wait until then and maybe get a bonus for shipping out within 30 days then?
Also the MOS that I want, 27D has an ASVAB score recuirement of 105 Clerical, if I don't achieve that score on the first try, can I retake it or is it one and done?

Does the Army have a plan for deploying units during mobilization? Many armies have reserve units that will be deployed in the event of a major conflict, filled with equipment taken from storage and mobilized soldiers. Do such units exist in the US Army? As far as I know they existed before 1991, but I don’t know the current situation

I am 16 years old, waiting to enroll once I’m 17. I currently take EMS classes, and I’m interested in being a Flight Medic in the Army. If anyone is a Flight Medic, then I’d like to know what it’s exactly like being one? I’m also open for any advice on how to decide between all of the careers. I love to help people and work with trauma patients, but I’d also love to be on the ground and much closer to the combat, possibly in it too, but I don’t know if I’d want to take that big of a risk.

Can anyone offer any insight on being an Army Guard infantry officer? Looking for overall job satisfaction, pros & cons. I know it’ll differ state to state however any kind of insight would be appreciated. My husband is prior service AD army, 11B. He’s currently deciding between enlisted air guard eod & army guard infantry. There’s many pros and cons to both, but right now we just don’t have any contacts to get in touch with to get an honest feel for what officer life in army guard is like so it’s making the decision difficult. I’ve been air guard for 10 years, so we’re very familiar with the unit & are able to talk to the shop directly. Right now commissioning is appealing, and it’s much easier process in army than air guard. He’s fully qualified, done with Meps and we’re really just at the deciding stage. Any thoughts are appreciated!

What MOS should I pick?
So I’m thinking of joining the Army, and since they’re the only branch I qualify for, I was wondering what my options are.
Why do I want to join? Well, there’s not a lot of opportunity for me at home. Most jobs available are not only dead ends, but I can’t even get one single fast food job because they’re all taken.
I have no money to go to a university, and since I can’t get a job, I can barely pay for community college. Financial aid doesn’t cover my costs either.
I scored a 69 on the ASVAB. Here are my line scores:
GT106 CL108 CO105 EL104 FA106 GM102 MM99
OF103 SC106 ST107
For jobs, for starters, I’d love to travel a lot. I think that would be pretty fun. Initially I wanted to do fixed wing aviation in the Air Force or Navy, but they won’t take me, and I’m not really into Army aviation.
I thought about doing 19K (tanks), that seems pretty fun, but it doesn’t seem like they travel all that much. I thought about infantry for the guns…but I hear they’re not really going anywhere either.
So far, none of the jobs really interest me. I don’t really find most career fields interesting in general. I was always into artsy stuff like music or videos. I love creating things independently, but it’s also twice the fun when you create and finish together with a team.

Hello, I'm make this post to ask if I would be allowed to join the army if I have constipation issues. My GI doctor told me to take Miralax for it and I've been taking it for 3 years now and can't go to the restroom without it. I've been interested in joining the army and I'm talking to a recruiter right now and he said I might be good. I'm going to take the ASVAB in a few days. Would I be allowed to join the army If I'm taking this medicine and would I be allowed to continue taking it if I were to be allowed to join. Like would I get it from the army pharmacy at basic or could I take it with me from home?

Which 91 series MOS should I join
Which 91 series MOS should I join I'm currently working on enlisting and have qualified for several 91 series jobs based on my immigration status and ASVAB scores. I'm very conflicted on choice between 91P, 91S, 91B and 91M (My prefered shortlist). Some insight on the daily life and satisfaction rate of these specific MOS. I would love some outside experienced opinions to help direct me to a better army career. My goal is to serve in the 91 series for a short time while I wait for a 15 series opening, or better till I can get a warrant packet in. Also I'm doing it for citizenship and college.

Joining USAR Medical Corps as a physician
Hey guys, I’m looking to join the USAR as a medical student in the reserves. I have a few questions about retirement and career progression opportunities.
I’ll be getting off active duty with 5 years in the Marines and I’ve got a DD368 ready to prevent a gap in service from active Marines to Army Reserve. I’ve been accepted to medical school and it looks like the MDSSP program will be the best for my situation as I’m not interested in remaining full-time on active duty, don’t want to completely end my military career, and I want to keep Tricare for my family. The Army is the only branch that allows students to drill and draw stipends while only obligating them to reserve service after.
1) I’m planning to go for 20 years minimum. I’ll be at 11-16 years of total service (depending on how much financial assistance I accept) once my service obligation is up. Can anyone imagine a situation where they wouldn’t let me hit my 20 so I could get a reserve retirement? How long would they theoretically let me stay on as a physician in the reserves?
2) How often will reserve physicians be able to deploy, and are they truly 90 day deployments?
3) What are the penultimate career goals as a reserve physician? What are some career milestones you’d recommend I aim for?
4) How difficult would it be to serve on active duty orders? I’d be very interested in voluntarily picking up active orders from time to time.
5) Would I be able to apply for programs such as FAO, Congressional Fellowships, senior level schools/PME, and other broadening tours in the same way as active duty officers?
6) Would my career progression follow closely to the active duty timing once I join the Medical Corps? (Major at ~10 years, LtCol at ~17 years, etc)
7) For current and former reserve docs, would you do it again?
8) USAR and the Guard both have the same program. Is it worth considering the guard?

I’m a smart, capable student, in my senior year of high school, graduating in the top 5% of my class. I’m bound for UT Austin next school year but am now questioning if that’s the right move for me. I’ve gotten no scholarships and though my parents are willing to help, I’ll inevitably be forced to take out loans and likely won’t be financially stable for some time, if ever. I intend to study anthropology because that’s what truly interests me but I know there’s not much money in any career pertaining to that degree. Throughout high school, there’ve been recruiters coming into my classes, promising many appealing benefits such as paying for my college in full as well as my rent while I live at the city I attend college in. I just need to be in the army at least 3 years. Something that also appeals to me is the fact I can go into a career where I gain experience as an automotive mechanic, which is something that interests me and I find much value in. I consider myself fairly resilient and healthy and don’t feel incapable of doing what will be expected of me. With all these benefits, mechanical experience, basically free rent and college, and the opportunity to accumulate savings, the army sounds like the smartest, but not the most glamorous, option for me. My question to you all is: is joining the army worth it for me? Would I actually be able to go for three years, accumulate savings, and return to UT Austin to complete my higher education? Or is the recruiter painting too pretty a picture and though I may receive some benefits, it won’t be worth it in the end, sacrificing three years I could instead spend in Austin, living the traditional college life in a new, exciting environment.

I told my recruiter about the depression but not the suicidal attempt, he says most likely I’ll need a Letter from my therapist.

Hey everyone, kind of searching for some advice here.
I’m in my lower 30’s and signed an 18x contract - I ship in June. I’ve spent the last year preparing and am just now finding my stride and really hitting the running times I need to be competitive. I left my previous career in preparation of this and have been thinking about SOF since 2019.
I haven’t had any issues with training or my body up until recently. I played hockey and football growing up and have the wear and tear to show for it. Most notably, from separate incidents, I fractured a vertebrae and I had a back surgery for a herniated disk - both injuries not too far from each other in my lower back.
My problem is while I haven’t had any issues in a while (at least a year or two) I recently had a bad flare up that started as back pain and transitioned to sciatic pain. Both of these things have been pretty manageable in the past and pain is something I’m pretty accustom to.
With that all being said - I’m more self aware with this pain. I’m currently in the best shape of my life so far, and haven’t been able to train in four or five days because of this flare up. I know the training ahead of me is going to push me way harder than I ever could and wonder how my body will handle it. I’m aware of breaking away from the DEP, but it really bothers me to even consider that.
I just wonder if I missed the train and take this as a sign to refocus? Do I press on and hope for the best? What would you do?

Thinking of enlisting and I need guidance?
I'm gonna be graduating in the summer and originally planned on going to a 4 year college. I've gotten mostly waitlisted at almost all my colleges and might have to go to community college if I want to stay on that track. I live in a very affluent and rich area so the community college is good but I'm not sure if I want to go along with that and don't feel like taking a gap year.
I want to end up being a lawyer one day but I also want to be independent right now so say I hypothetically don't get off these waitlists, it's either CC or the military in my eyes. I only want to do 4 years because I still would have to attend undergrad and law school and I want to raise a family before I turn 35-ish. The army sounds the best to me because of the wide variety of jobs to choose from. The MOS 27D, paralegal specialist sounds pretty good as well.
I also want to live a full life and I understand that all the "jumping out of planes" and "shooting large guns" is mostly just a selling point, but it seems like enlisting in the Army is what makes these once in a lifetime experiences possible. There are so many benefits but at the same time, I would be re-entering civilian life and hopefully going into undergrad at 21, which seems crazy. I would be academically behind my peers by 4 years.
I'm really at one of the greatest cross roads of my life, does anyone have any advice, or have been in the position themselves? How is enlisting? What should I expect?

Hello, I'm a recruit going in as a small arms repairman for the army. I am going to Fort Sill Oklahoma for basic training and then will be sent to Fort Campbell. In all of this, I am very confused as there is very little concrete discussion or evidence that I can find that tells me all the contact points I will be able to get with my loved ones. I know I can send and receive letters, but I don't know, how to go through that process, where if any i can acquire the materials to write the letters, and how soon I can expect to receive letters from my loves ones once I get in. I understand that at some point later in the training, to the drill sergeants discretion, that I will be able to gain access to my phone, but I haven't found concrete numbers as to how long and under what restrictions or if that is also to the drill sergeants mood and demeanor for the day. I also do not know how I will be able to get my address or other information to my loved ones so that they will be able to send letters to me or if there's a separate process for that as different in sending letters. I also do not realize much if any about how family day will work, under what restrictions, when it is, or how many can come.
​
I realize this is a long, contrived, and possibly stupid list of questions. I also realize that I may sound quite dumb in asking them, but I am very close to my small circle of loved ones and would like to take any steps necessary to be as connected with them as possible while I am not there, which includes seeking all the information and resources I can on the matter, even if I'm an idiot for asking. Even just answering one of these questions would be a huge help and I would genuinely greatly appreciate it, thank you.

So I’m graduating high school in May and for the longest time have been wanting to enlist in the military (every since i was little).
Now I’ve been thinking Navy (I love the ocean), but Army is starting to interest me more as I more than likely wont end up on a ship. The other reason for Navy is that the Navy recruiter seemed willing to help me as I will need waivers compared to the Army recruiter who didn’t seem interested.
I’m not in the best physical shape i will say, but i’m hoping to change that for when I can enlist. I do have a history of depression and anxiety which has been resolved. I’ve been off meds for 4 months for one, and 3 months for the other (i know i need to wait a year) I’m stable off of them. I know some people are gonna think i’m dumb for wanting to enlist due to past mental problems.
What’s your thoughts on army? is it worth it?

Have been debating on "rejoining" the army again for some time now. (I say rejoining cause I went in 2017 when I turned 18 but quit due to Tiny Heart Syndrome) Anyway.
I am 25 now and have matured a lot over the past few years but something has always worried me about rejoining. A lot of the things I see not get answered is the niche stuff about the army. The weird almost stupid sounding questions. Where do I go when I get to my first unit? If I need to talk to an officer outside, do I stand at attention and talk to him, even if he keeps walking? Do I follow him? I'm Sure the questions I'm asking will be answered by someone close to graduation, but its anxiety I have about the weird niche questions.
​
I guess my big question here is: Does it just come naturally after a while? Does it all just click and make sense at some point? I wanna feel like Ill eventually know what I'm doing and it will just become normal at some point. I don't wanna be the shitbag PVT who either doesn't make it or worse turns into a shitbag SGT eventually.

How will my living space be arranged? (I saw that some people going through AIT had more of a college dorm space.) Will it just be sorta like a switch from boot to AIT in the middle?

Im about to turn 24 and have dreams of serving in the ranger regiment one day, however, i went through a break up almost 2 years ago that had really affected my mental health. It was a rather abusive relationship. My mother being a nurse practitioner really pressured me into seeing a doctor (not psychologist) about me being depressed. They prescribed me some anti anxiety medication that I never took. I'm actually rather against the practice of handing out medication like that to anyone off the street off of a 10 question worksheet. I found my stride again a couple months after that so needless to say, it's not a reoccurring issue. I'm wondering if this will disqualify me from joining up in a combat mos.
Tldr: doc said I was depressed, found my stride again and hasn't been a reoccurring issue. Will this disqualify me from a combat mos?

Need some serious advice
Hey everyone, I'm in a bit of a pickle.
Its been a dream of mine to go into OCS and handle artillery, especially regarding laser weapons (Valkyrie comes to mind).
I've studied Physics and went into laser physics, currently working in a company as a manufacturing engineer (again working with high power pulsed lasers).
I'm 24 and my GPA is 2.7, from this point on I will list the problems. I can score 88 on the ASVAB btw
I've never lived in US despite being a US citizen. All my studies are abroad and I currently live in a country that allows me to do all the paperwork, contract included without leaving here. I'm already in talks with the recruiter and he said this wouldn't cause problems with clearance.
I have an ADHD diagnosis from 5 years ago, took ritalin for 2 years, been off for 26 months. This info doesn't show up in the records that I can reach. I also had an OCD diagnosis but that is completely off the books and I'm not medicated for it.
I know everyone is gonna tell me to be honest, but translating all the records, proving that I'm capable etc would be an herculean task and my dad (AF officer) as well as his friends are advising me to not mention it and just choose "no" on everything. They say that even with Genesis, they can't reach foreign records in that country.
I want to be honest, but I also want to accomplish my dreams without getting older. What would you do in my shoes?

Was told by mod to post this here:
Yesterday I finished the last thing I needed to do in order to enlist (eye consult) at MEPS. I passed my exam & my recruiter said I should expect to enlist next Thursday/Friday. This has been a long time coming and I’m excited to start this new journey.
I’ve narrowed down the jobs I believe I would enjoy doing to 35L, 35F and 25B. I meet the requirements for all three but I’m genuinely having a tough time picking one. My goal after the Army is to do bigger picture law enforcement, and yesterday having spoke to many people in intelligence they said 35L would be the perfect MOS for me.
If I do go to MEPS next week to sign a contract I’m a bit worried they will try and fuck with me and try to persuade me to do something else. I plan on staying strong and not settling for anything else besides these three.
I guess what I’m asking is if anyone can give me insight to these three jobs, personal experience or things they’ve heard. Are these jobs hard to get? How is the quality of life? Are they interesting and fulfilling?
Is there a big difference between 35L & 35F?
Any insight is greatly appreciated! Thank you.

I'm not yet old enough to enlist, but I'm planning on doing so once I turn 17. I've done lots of research, and I think I want to be a 12b. As an engineer MOS, I'd assume it's a male-dominated area. I'm female. What's the situation like for a female soldier in a predominantly male field?

I am a college student, graduating in 8-14 months, for Management Information Systems. I have a lot of corporate software internship experience but I am looking to join the army because I can't imagine doing a desk job (at least at this point in life). Given my education I am only considering Intelligence or Cyber, and most likely 17C. As far as I've been informed nothing is as technical (software not hardware like 35T) or translates to post-service. I am looking to sign an option 40, spend a year in a Ranger Battalion, then go for special forces after I've given my time there. I've seen that Rangers are open to 17C enlistments. I am not signing a 18x contract because I have no experience with the military and I think would be better off taking it slow and acclimating both physically and mentally. I did not do army ROTC and at this point it is too late for me to join up. I am only interested in joining the army to go for Ranger or SF. Hopefully I can integrate my college and work experience into it, but if I had to make a decision I would prioritize RangeSF over getting the ideal technical MOS. I took the picat and got 99th percentile, not sure about line scores. Soon to go to MEPS. I am physically fit, but not at the level of rucking 100lbs for 8 hours. TLDR- I want action in the army as well as technical stuff, so I can do high priced contracting or maybe three letter work after I get out. Few questions: Is 17C my best bet? Should I look at OCS and how does that work (what part of the process)? What is the minimum time for a contract like this? Does this whole plan make sense? Please let me know if I am missing any information or if there are any different or better ideas. (Or ask me any questions)

Hello all! I am writing to get some clarification on MEPS. I am 22 years old and ready to serve my country. I have met with my recruiter and was asked about my medical history. I had a diagnosis of ADHD in high school, which I have now outgrown. I was also prescribed an antidepressant in 2018 (during high school) and again in 2021. I refilled both prescriptions twice in my life. I have been transparent with the recruiter and he suggested I fill out a waiver for the ADHD. I have obtained my prescription record which corroborates that I only refilled an antidepressant RX twice and have not taken medication or seen a doctor since 2021. As I entered adulthood I have learned to cope by eating healthier, staying active and educating himself on importance of maintaining a balanced lifestyle. My question is will MEPS disqualify me based on my history with depression from 3 years ago? Will I be ok to enlist? Have you had a similar experience? Thanking everyone in advance for your anticipated suggestions and guidance.

Im graduating high school in the summer and plan on enlisting in the Army. I've got around 5 months left for my braces and I saw online that you can't go to basic with braces. Should I visit my recruiter and pick a ship out date (after hashing everything out, including taking the ASVAB) or should I just wait until then and maybe get a bonus for shipping out within 30 days then?
Also the MOS that I want, 27D has an ASVAB score recuirement of 105 Clerical, if I don't achieve that score on the first try, can I retake it or is it one and done?

Does the Army have a plan for deploying units during mobilization? Many armies have reserve units that will be deployed in the event of a major conflict, filled with equipment taken from storage and mobilized soldiers. Do such units exist in the US Army? As far as I know they existed before 1991, but I don’t know the current situation

I am 16 years old, waiting to enroll once I’m 17. I currently take EMS classes, and I’m interested in being a Flight Medic in the Army. If anyone is a Flight Medic, then I’d like to know what it’s exactly like being one? I’m also open for any advice on how to decide between all of the careers. I love to help people and work with trauma patients, but I’d also love to be on the ground and much closer to the combat, possibly in it too, but I don’t know if I’d want to take that big of a risk.

Can anyone offer any insight on being an Army Guard infantry officer? Looking for overall job satisfaction, pros & cons. I know it’ll differ state to state however any kind of insight would be appreciated. My husband is prior service AD army, 11B. He’s currently deciding between enlisted air guard eod & army guard infantry. There’s many pros and cons to both, but right now we just don’t have any contacts to get in touch with to get an honest feel for what officer life in army guard is like so it’s making the decision difficult. I’ve been air guard for 10 years, so we’re very familiar with the unit & are able to talk to the shop directly. Right now commissioning is appealing, and it’s much easier process in army than air guard. He’s fully qualified, done with Meps and we’re really just at the deciding stage. Any thoughts are appreciated!

What MOS should I pick?
So I’m thinking of joining the Army, and since they’re the only branch I qualify for, I was wondering what my options are.
Why do I want to join? Well, there’s not a lot of opportunity for me at home. Most jobs available are not only dead ends, but I can’t even get one single fast food job because they’re all taken.
I have no money to go to a university, and since I can’t get a job, I can barely pay for community college. Financial aid doesn’t cover my costs either.
I scored a 69 on the ASVAB. Here are my line scores:
GT106 CL108 CO105 EL104 FA106 GM102 MM99
OF103 SC106 ST107
For jobs, for starters, I’d love to travel a lot. I think that would be pretty fun. Initially I wanted to do fixed wing aviation in the Air Force or Navy, but they won’t take me, and I’m not really into Army aviation.
I thought about doing 19K (tanks), that seems pretty fun, but it doesn’t seem like they travel all that much. I thought about infantry for the guns…but I hear they’re not really going anywhere either.
So far, none of the jobs really interest me. I don’t really find most career fields interesting in general. I was always into artsy stuff like music or videos. I love creating things independently, but it’s also twice the fun when you create and finish together with a team.

Hello, I'm make this post to ask if I would be allowed to join the army if I have constipation issues. My GI doctor told me to take Miralax for it and I've been taking it for 3 years now and can't go to the restroom without it. I've been interested in joining the army and I'm talking to a recruiter right now and he said I might be good. I'm going to take the ASVAB in a few days. Would I be allowed to join the army If I'm taking this medicine and would I be allowed to continue taking it if I were to be allowed to join. Like would I get it from the army pharmacy at basic or could I take it with me from home?

Which 91 series MOS should I join
Which 91 series MOS should I join I'm currently working on enlisting and have qualified for several 91 series jobs based on my immigration status and ASVAB scores. I'm very conflicted on choice between 91P, 91S, 91B and 91M (My prefered shortlist). Some insight on the daily life and satisfaction rate of these specific MOS. I would love some outside experienced opinions to help direct me to a better army career. My goal is to serve in the 91 series for a short time while I wait for a 15 series opening, or better till I can get a warrant packet in. Also I'm doing it for citizenship and college.

Joining USAR Medical Corps as a physician
Hey guys, I’m looking to join the USAR as a medical student in the reserves. I have a few questions about retirement and career progression opportunities.
I’ll be getting off active duty with 5 years in the Marines and I’ve got a DD368 ready to prevent a gap in service from active Marines to Army Reserve. I’ve been accepted to medical school and it looks like the MDSSP program will be the best for my situation as I’m not interested in remaining full-time on active duty, don’t want to completely end my military career, and I want to keep Tricare for my family. The Army is the only branch that allows students to drill and draw stipends while only obligating them to reserve service after.
1) I’m planning to go for 20 years minimum. I’ll be at 11-16 years of total service (depending on how much financial assistance I accept) once my service obligation is up. Can anyone imagine a situation where they wouldn’t let me hit my 20 so I could get a reserve retirement? How long would they theoretically let me stay on as a physician in the reserves?
2) How often will reserve physicians be able to deploy, and are they truly 90 day deployments?
3) What are the penultimate career goals as a reserve physician? What are some career milestones you’d recommend I aim for?
4) How difficult would it be to serve on active duty orders? I’d be very interested in voluntarily picking up active orders from time to time.
5) Would I be able to apply for programs such as FAO, Congressional Fellowships, senior level schools/PME, and other broadening tours in the same way as active duty officers?
6) Would my career progression follow closely to the active duty timing once I join the Medical Corps? (Major at ~10 years, LtCol at ~17 years, etc)
7) For current and former reserve docs, would you do it again?
8) USAR and the Guard both have the same program. Is it worth considering the guard?

I’m a smart, capable student, in my senior year of high school, graduating in the top 5% of my class. I’m bound for UT Austin next school year but am now questioning if that’s the right move for me. I’ve gotten no scholarships and though my parents are willing to help, I’ll inevitably be forced to take out loans and likely won’t be financially stable for some time, if ever. I intend to study anthropology because that’s what truly interests me but I know there’s not much money in any career pertaining to that degree. Throughout high school, there’ve been recruiters coming into my classes, promising many appealing benefits such as paying for my college in full as well as my rent while I live at the city I attend college in. I just need to be in the army at least 3 years. Something that also appeals to me is the fact I can go into a career where I gain experience as an automotive mechanic, which is something that interests me and I find much value in. I consider myself fairly resilient and healthy and don’t feel incapable of doing what will be expected of me. With all these benefits, mechanical experience, basically free rent and college, and the opportunity to accumulate savings, the army sounds like the smartest, but not the most glamorous, option for me. My question to you all is: is joining the army worth it for me? Would I actually be able to go for three years, accumulate savings, and return to UT Austin to complete my higher education? Or is the recruiter painting too pretty a picture and though I may receive some benefits, it won’t be worth it in the end, sacrificing three years I could instead spend in Austin, living the traditional college life in a new, exciting environment.

Im in the process of joining as an E-4 and doing very well, asvab wise and everything else except a major thing, I had a suicide attempt almost 2 years ago and end it up in the hospital, I requested my medical records to see what they wrote, they put it down as intensional overdose and depression, I had a therapist prior but I’ve been treating myself with a psychiatrist since then, they I wasn’t sent to psychiatry because they didn’t consider me a risk for myself of others so I was never committed and just asked to follow up, also wrote down that I have very good coping mechanisms as though why I don’t require medication, does this means that I have no chance at joining the army and should just give up before going to meps? I told my recruiter about the depression but not the suicidal attempt, he says most likely I’ll need a Letter from my therapist.

Hey everyone, kind of searching for some advice here.
I’m in my lower 30’s and signed an 18x contract - I ship in June. I’ve spent the last year preparing and am just now finding my stride and really hitting the running times I need to be competitive. I left my previous career in preparation of this and have been thinking about SOF since 2019.
I haven’t had any issues with training or my body up until recently. I played hockey and football growing up and have the wear and tear to show for it. Most notably, from separate incidents, I fractured a vertebrae and I had a back surgery for a herniated disk - both injuries not too far from each other in my lower back.
My problem is while I haven’t had any issues in a while (at least a year or two) I recently had a bad flare up that started as back pain and transitioned to sciatic pain. Both of these things have been pretty manageable in the past and pain is something I’m pretty accustom to.
With that all being said - I’m more self aware with this pain. I’m currently in the best shape of my life so far, and haven’t been able to train in four or five days because of this flare up. I know the training ahead of me is going to push me way harder than I ever could and wonder how my body will handle it. I’m aware of breaking away from the DEP, but it really bothers me to even consider that.
I just wonder if I missed the train and take this as a sign to refocus? Do I press on and hope for the best? What would you do?

Thinking of enlisting and I need guidance?
I'm gonna be graduating in the summer and originally planned on going to a 4 year college. I've gotten mostly waitlisted at almost all my colleges and might have to go to community college if I want to stay on that track. I live in a very affluent and rich area so the community college is good but I'm not sure if I want to go along with that and don't feel like taking a gap year.
I want to end up being a lawyer one day but I also want to be independent right now so say I hypothetically don't get off these waitlists, it's either CC or the military in my eyes. I only want to do 4 years because I still would have to attend undergrad and law school and I want to raise a family before I turn 35-ish. The army sounds the best to me because of the wide variety of jobs to choose from. The MOS 27D, paralegal specialist sounds pretty good as well.
I also want to live a full life and I understand that all the "jumping out of planes" and "shooting large guns" is mostly just a selling point, but it seems like enlisting in the Army is what makes these once in a lifetime experiences possible. There are so many benefits but at the same time, I would be re-entering civilian life and hopefully going into undergrad at 21, which seems crazy. I would be academically behind my peers by 4 years.
I'm really at one of the greatest cross roads of my life, does anyone have any advice, or have been in the position themselves? How is enlisting? What should I expect?

Hello, I'm a recruit going in as a small arms repairman for the army. I am going to Fort Sill Oklahoma for basic training and then will be sent to Fort Campbell. In all of this, I am very confused as there is very little concrete discussion or evidence that I can find that tells me all the contact points I will be able to get with my loved ones. I know I can send and receive letters, but I don't know, how to go through that process, where if any i can acquire the materials to write the letters, and how soon I can expect to receive letters from my loves ones once I get in. I understand that at some point later in the training, to the drill sergeants discretion, that I will be able to gain access to my phone, but I haven't found concrete numbers as to how long and under what restrictions or if that is also to the drill sergeants mood and demeanor for the day. I also do not know how I will be able to get my address or other information to my loved ones so that they will be able to send letters to me or if there's a separate process for that as different in sending letters. I also do not realize much if any about how family day will work, under what restrictions, when it is, or how many can come.
​
I realize this is a long, contrived, and possibly stupid list of questions. I also realize that I may sound quite dumb in asking them, but I am very close to my small circle of loved ones and would like to take any steps necessary to be as connected with them as possible while I am not there, which includes seeking all the information and resources I can on the matter, even if I'm an idiot for asking. Even just answering one of these questions would be a huge help and I would genuinely greatly appreciate it, thank you.

So I’m graduating high school in May and for the longest time have been wanting to enlist in the military (every since i was little).
Now I’ve been thinking Navy (I love the ocean), but Army is starting to interest me more as I more than likely wont end up on a ship. The other reason for Navy is that the Navy recruiter seemed willing to help me as I will need waivers compared to the Army recruiter who didn’t seem interested.
I’m not in the best physical shape i will say, but i’m hoping to change that for when I can enlist. I do have a history of depression and anxiety which has been resolved. I’ve been off meds for 4 months for one, and 3 months for the other (i know i need to wait a year) I’m stable off of them. I know some people are gonna think i’m dumb for wanting to enlist due to past mental problems.
What’s your thoughts on army? is it worth it?

Have been debating on "rejoining" the army again for some time now. (I say rejoining cause I went in 2017 when I turned 18 but quit due to Tiny Heart Syndrome) Anyway.
I am 25 now and have matured a lot over the past few years but something has always worried me about rejoining. A lot of the things I see not get answered is the niche stuff about the army. The weird almost stupid sounding questions. Where do I go when I get to my first unit? If I need to talk to an officer outside, do I stand at attention and talk to him, even if he keeps walking? Do I follow him? I'm Sure the questions I'm asking will be answered by someone close to graduation, but its anxiety I have about the weird niche questions.
​
I guess my big question here is: Does it just come naturally after a while? Does it all just click and make sense at some point? I wanna feel like Ill eventually know what I'm doing and it will just become normal at some point. I don't wanna be the shitbag PVT who either doesn't make it or worse turns into a shitbag SGT eventually.

How will my living space be arranged? (I saw that some people going through AIT had more of a college dorm space.) Will it just be sorta like a switch from boot to AIT in the middle?

Im about to turn 24 and have dreams of serving in the ranger regiment one day, however, i went through a break up almost 2 years ago that had really affected my mental health. It was a rather abusive relationship. My mother being a nurse practitioner really pressured me into seeing a doctor (not psychologist) about me being depressed. They prescribed me some anti anxiety medication that I never took. I'm actually rather against the practice of handing out medication like that to anyone off the street off of a 10 question worksheet. I found my stride again a couple months after that so needless to say, it's not a reoccurring issue. I'm wondering if this will disqualify me from joining up in a combat mos.
Tldr: doc said I was depressed, found my stride again and hasn't been a reoccurring issue. Will this disqualify me from a combat mos?

Need some serious advice
Hey everyone, I'm in a bit of a pickle.
Its been a dream of mine to go into OCS and handle artillery, especially regarding laser weapons (Valkyrie comes to mind).
I've studied Physics and went into laser physics, currently working in a company as a manufacturing engineer (again working with high power pulsed lasers).
I'm 24 and my GPA is 2.7, from this point on I will list the problems. I can score 88 on the ASVAB btw
I've never lived in US despite being a US citizen. All my studies are abroad and I currently live in a country that allows me to do all the paperwork, contract included without leaving here. I'm already in talks with the recruiter and he said this wouldn't cause problems with clearance.
I have an ADHD diagnosis from 5 years ago, took ritalin for 2 years, been off for 26 months. This info doesn't show up in the records that I can reach. I also had an OCD diagnosis but that is completely off the books and I'm not medicated for it.
I know everyone is gonna tell me to be honest, but translating all the records, proving that I'm capable etc would be an herculean task and my dad (AF officer) as well as his friends are advising me to not mention it and just choose "no" on everything. They say that even with Genesis, they can't reach foreign records in that country.
I want to be honest, but I also want to accomplish my dreams without getting older. What would you do in my shoes?

Was told by mod to post this here:
Yesterday I finished the last thing I needed to do in order to enlist (eye consult) at MEPS. I passed my exam & my recruiter said I should expect to enlist next Thursday/Friday. This has been a long time coming and I’m excited to start this new journey.
I’ve narrowed down the jobs I believe I would enjoy doing to 35L, 35F and 25B. I meet the requirements for all three but I’m genuinely having a tough time picking one. My goal after the Army is to do bigger picture law enforcement, and yesterday having spoke to many people in intelligence they said 35L would be the perfect MOS for me.
If I do go to MEPS next week to sign a contract I’m a bit worried they will try and fuck with me and try to persuade me to do something else. I plan on staying strong and not settling for anything else besides these three.
I guess what I’m asking is if anyone can give me insight to these three jobs, personal experience or things they’ve heard. Are these jobs hard to get? How is the quality of life? Are they interesting and fulfilling?
Is there a big difference between 35L & 35F?
Any insight is greatly appreciated! Thank you.

I saw an article from Nunatsiaq News about the Northern deduction, and that combined with the general amount of confusion from my own colleagues around this deduction (I work in a Northern town), I thought I would share a short explanation for the deduction. You can find all of the information I used Here and a list of locales Here, as well as the T2222 Form Here. For Quebec Residents, see the bottom.
The Northern Deduction is a tax deduction that allows Northern residents to reduce their overall tax burden, in recognition of the higher cost of living and transportation for Northerners. There's two components: the residency deduction and the travel deduction.
The Residency deduction is based on 1) where your physical residence is, either in a prescribed or intermediate zone, and 2) how long your residency in the north was in the tax year. There's also the Additional amount for those that "maintain and lived in a dwelling" which also includes rental units (I checked specifically on this and rental units count for this), and you are the ONLY person in the household claiming the amount.

1. Prescribed northern zones allow tax filers to deduct $11 per day, as well as an additional amount of $11 per day, allowing a single taxpayer per dwelling to deduct up to $22 per day.
2. Intermediate northern zones allow the same as above, but for an amount of 50% of the daily rate, so $5.50 for basic and additional amount.

It's worth checking to see if you live in an intermediate zone, even if you think you might not live in any northern zone: I was quite surprised to see Grande Prairie, AB, and the surrounding region be classified as an intermediate zone.
Now, you can only claim the deduction if you live in a northern settlement for at least 6 months. If you lived there less than that amount in the tax year, but continue to live there into the next, you can make an adjustment after you get your notice of assessment to claim the <6 month timespan you spent in the North. But you still need to fulfill the 6 month requirement: if you moved up December 1st, you would have to wait until May 1st before you can claim the adjustment.
The Travel component is the more complicated section. Each northern resident is allowed to deduct up to 2 personal trips per tax year, or any number of medical trips during that same time frame. For this component, you need to report 3 separate values (either your employer paid travel allowance or a basic travel amount of $1200, the actual cost of the trip, or the cheapest regularly available round trip air ticket to a designated airport) and select the lowest valued amount to claim for that particular trip.
I will use the personal travel example for this, and to deduct your travel, you need to follow the 5 steps below, filling in the relevant values on the worksheet on the T2222 form:

1. Write in the name of the person which the travel deduction is being claimed for (typically you and your dependants) and the reason of the travel.
2. Write in the basic $1200 amount given to every northern Canadian OR your employee travel allowance. You can only report one or the other, and if you received an employee travel allowance, you NEED to claim that one.
3. Write in the total cost of the trip: flights, hotels, meals (simplified, being a basic amount of $23 per meal up to a max of $69 per day, or detailed, including all meal receipts), taxis/ubers, etc.
   1. Note: if you don't know the exact cost of the trip, but you know that one of the other two values will be lower, this does NOT need to be completely accurate as you won't be claiming this amount. However, the CRA will ask for proof of travel receipts no matter which amount you claim, and this might require a scan of your original plane ticket. If it WILL be the lowest amount, you might be asked to submit the receipts for the amount you claim.
4. Write in the cheapest regularly available round trip air ticket to a designated airport (CRA has a list of them on the T2222 instructions, they include Montreal, Toronto, Edmonton, Vancouver, etc.) You can only claim the travel to the designated airport listed above. The CRA has a table of cheapest available airfare Here, but take note that if you don't see your community in the table, you will need to contact the relevant airline for your community, or use their website to calculate the price.
5. Choose the LOWEST value from the above amounts, and claim that amount for this trip.

Repeat the steps above if more than one personal trip is being claimed per person, or any number of medical trips.
For Quebec Residents; Revenu Quebec has an identical form you can find out more on Here, but the prescribed and intermediate communities may be different, so you need to verify that separately.
NOTE: I am not a CPA or a business owner, but I have been dealing with this tax section for a few years now, just wanted to share some information for those it's relevant to.

Good evening to everyone,
I'm a student trying to perform a transient thermal analysis with Ansys. I'm following the "workshop 01: C-shape Profile Full Cure Simulation" on ACCS extension but when I come to solve the thermal analysis I get these error messages. Who can help me? Please I need and want to understand this.

Two years ago I knew nothing about information technology! Today I will showcase what I have learned over the past two years strictly from memory. The Comptia A+ core 1101 objectives sheet will be my index to reference what I know (here is a link to the objectives sheet https://partners.comptia.org/docs/default-source/resources/comptia-a-220-1101-exam-objectives-(3-0))).
I attempted the Comptia A+ core 2 1001 test last year. In order to pass I needed a score of 657. I scored a 557! With that said I am starting over. Wise people say slow and steady wins the race. This time I am not just trying to speed through passing the test, I want to know EVERYTHING about my field of study. These reddit posts will be a timeline of my growth in the IT field. This will also be one of the outlets I will use to learn, grow, and showcase my expertise.
With that said let us see what I know so far!
According to the Comptia A+ core 1 1101 objectives worksheet the first section to go over is “Mobile Devices”. The sheet has four sections (1.1, 1.2, 1.3, and 1.4). I will list this sheet accordingly with four sections.
1.1.
Hardware and Device replacement:
Battery: I have actually reset many batteries in my current position as an IT Helpdesk Associate. Some things about the battery I would like to know about is understanding wattage, voltage, AC-DC, and having a better understanding of rechargeable batteries.
Keyboards/Keys: Keyboards can be wired connected or connected wirelessly. There are different types of keyboard setups (due to size of mobile device and style meaning touchscreen etc..). Many keys have multiple functions, using the fn (function key) can trigger a change in function etc..
Random-Access Memory (RAM): RAM is used…wow I do not really know how to articulate it. Here is what I know. RAM comes in different speeds 8GB, 16GB. The more GB the faster RAM works and the faster your computer can perform. Gamers care about the speed of their RAM as it affects the outcome of their games. Certainly have room to improve my understanding of RAM.
Hard Disk Drive (HDD)/Solid State Drive(SSD): Both HDD and SSD are memory drives. This is where you can save many digital items (pictures, videos, documents, etc..). The Hard disk drive has a spinning disk, the faster the rpm the faster your computer can perform. The Solid state drive has NO moving parts and I do not understand what makes it faster or slower. These drives can hold many bytes of space (TB, PB, and beyond).
Replacing HDD/SSD: I am not sure what port these devices are attached to in mobile devices. In a desktop they attach to either a SATA or Pci E port.
Wireless Card: These cards are used to connect the mobile device to wifi or a cellular connection. I am questioning whether it is used for a cellular connection though.
Physical Privacy and Security Components:
Biometrics: This is a feature which helps to secure a mobile device. To gain access you will have to confirm either your fingerprints, eye retina test, facial test, or vocal test.
Near-Field scanner features: This feature allows you to exchange digital items between machines by simply holding them NEAR each other.
1.2
Display Types:
Liquid Crystal Display (LCD): An LCD screen has a backlight and filters that pass light through a liquid display that comes in three forms. Backlights can either be fluorescent or LED. The forms are as follows:
Twisted Nematic (TN)
Vertical Alignment (VA)
In-Plane Switching (IPS)
I forget which one came first and which one has the best refresh rates and black color grade. Those are some areas I need to improve.
Organic Light Emitting diode (OLED): This is a display that can be very thin due to the material used to light up the display. Instead of a fluorescent light that shines through a crystal filter, the OLED uses light emitting diodes to create light and color. I need to gain more experience with this to remember exactly how this works.
Other Display Parts:
Wifi Antena: Normally this is wired around a laptop monitor. Obviously for mobile phones everything is on the screen.
Camera/webcam: these are small cameras normally at the top of mobile devices. They work in pixels and I need more study in this field to better understand how cameras work in general.
Microphone: Many mobile devices have microphones especially in mobile phones. I believe I need some more experience with these to articulate the features of microphones better.
Touch Screen/digitizer: I have replaced these for mobile phones before and soon will be replacing one for a macbook pro 13 inch. This is a device which allows you to touch the screen and run commands. I am sure I can use some more experience and study with this to be able to articulate what I know better.
Inverter: I believe this has something to do with electricity. Obviously there is room for improved knowledge in this subject.
1.3
Connection methods:
Universal Serial Bus (USB): USBs have different port types (A,B,miniA, miniB, etc..). The ports have changed over time for different devices. The speed of USBs has changed as well. The speed gets faster with the higher number of USB (1, 2, 3 ,4).USB A or B can be either a 1,2,3, or 4. The number dictates the speed of the USB download or upload speed (not the port type).
Lighting: I need to do more research on this.
Serial Interfaces: I think this is the USB ports. I need to make sure of this and do more research.
Near-Field communication: I think this is the same thing I discussed before about sharing digital items from two devices. To exchange items they need to be NEAR each other.
Bluetooth: This is another technology where devices need to be near one another. Once the connection is made the user needs to verify a pin. After verification as long as the devices are close enough to each other they will stay connected (and as long as the power stays on).
Hotspot: A Mobile hotspot is like an access point. This is when a mobile device becomes your access point to wifi. This means that the wifi waves you're using to connect to wifi are coming directly from the hotspot.
Accessories:
Touch pens: AKA stylus. You can use these pens to write or click options on touchscreen devices.
Headsets: Headsets can be wireless or wired. Wireless headsets often use Bluetooth technology.
Speakers: These are audio output devices. I would like to learn more about amperage.
Webcam: I already spoke about these.
Docking station: This is a device you can use to connect peripheral devices to your mobile device. I use a docking station at my job to connect my laptop to a bigger monitor, mouse, and ethernet cable.
Port replicator: I am not sure what this is; this is room for improvement.
Trackpad/drawing pad: I believe this is the pad on our laptop that you use to move around your cursor. In other cases you can use it to draw in notes or some illustrator software.
Wireless/ Cellular Data:
2G/3G/4G//5G: The G stands for generation and these are cellular connections (as opposed to wifi connection). The earliest generation being the lowest number and the latest generation being 5G. Each generation has an upgrade in upload and download speeds. Also cyber security updates are upgraded after 3G (encryption). Also I believe 4G or 3G combined the technologies of gsm and cdma (I think those are the acronyms).
Hotspot: we spoke about this already.
Global system for Global Communication
V.s
Code division multiple access : I believe GSM technology came first. All I can remember about these technologies is that different companies and countries used these technologies separately at one point. Now these technologies are combined and used by all companies.
Preferred Roaming list: Need to do research.
Bluetooth: we spoke about this already
Location Services:
Global Positioning System (GPS): This is a satellite system that pinpoints the longitude and latitude of anywhere on earth. I am sure there is more to learn about this technology.
Cellular location services: This is a system of located things using cell towers. Using the waves between cell towers can help to pinpoint locations on Earth.
Mobile Device Management (MDM): This is a software that will allow you to manage a fleet of mobile devices. This software allows you to push through apps to a fleet of devices, wipe devices clean, lock them in case of a stolen device, and overall manage the devices remotely. AKA Mobile Application Management (MAM).
Using MDM allows the administrator to configure corporate email, two factor authentication, and corporate applications.
Mobile Device synchronization: I need to do some research on this. However I will list the software items that can be synchronized.

• MS 365
• Google workspace
• iCloud
• Mail
• Photos
• Calendar
• Contacts
• Reconciling data caps

That's all folks. I encourage your feedback, let me know, do I seem like a novice, do I seem knowledgeable. Another goal of mine is to create a network to help non techies become more tech savvy and maybe switch industries. This journey is hard and it has been difficult to remember everything I have learned. For me, hands- on experience helps me understand these concepts better. If anyone has advice to get more hands on experience (besides getting a job; I have a job) it would be greatly appreciated!
