I need advice BADLY people =( ITS APPRECIATED =)?
Stop looking for shortcuts. You'll never get anywhere by avoiding the many years of study and preparation that are required to qualify for a skilled profession of some kind. Your English is terrible, so you have a lot of work ahead of you to become functionally literate. Learn how to use punctuation properly. You can't "past" any test. It's "pass". That's not a typo. The 's' is not next to the 't' on the keyboard. You used the wrong word. That indicates a high degree of illiteracy and explains why you couldn't pass the test to get into the military. I don't say this to make you feel bad. I'm trying to give you truthful advice to help you understand your problems so that you can move forward. You should go back to community college and give your 100% effort. Don't settle for anything less than your best work. Your goal should be straight A's and the highest score possible in everything you do. If you ask yourself about what's the least you can do to pass a class, then you've already defeated yourself. You should instead be asking yourself about what's left that I can do to make my work and studying better than I've ever done in the past. You won't get better overnight. Education is a gradual process of step-by-step improvement. It's more achievable to do better than you did yesterday than to expect high achievement tomorrow. You should set high goals that you try to meet for everything you do, even if you frequently fail to meet some of those goals right away. Instead of having only long-term goals, set yourself lots of short-term goals that are highly achievable. Here are some possible short-term goals: I will be early to every class today. I will record every assignment and due date as soon as I hear about it. I will work at least 30 minutes on each assignment that I have without interruption today. I will get to bed early enough to be well rested for tomorrow. I will go professor SoAndSo's office hours to ask the questions that I've saved. I will not do any activities that will prevent me from achieving my goals. I will avoid anyone who prevents me from achieving my goals. I will ensure that all preparation that's beneficial for tomorrow's classes is completed by today. I will revise my goals tonight to avoid any problems that I experienced today so that I don't have these problems in the future.
Why does the military use military time?
Lot of good answers but the biggest reason is to avoid confusion as an operation is based off of Greenwich Mean Time. When it is 0800 in the morning here it is 1400 somewhere in Europe. When using the 24 hour clock operation orders are based off of zulu or local but it is always based off of GMT so there is no confusion as to when something is to begin or end. An operation at the DOD may start at 1300 hours but to the operators on the ground that could mean 0200 zulu or local. It does make it less confusing when speaking time over radio nets etc. but the broader picture is to avoid confusion over local time versus where you are at and when an operation may start or begin. You may be getting a frago and if it states the start time as 1300 as in where the opord originated you may be late already because where your sitting it is 0400 the next day. http://wwp.greenwichmeantime.com/info/ti... When it comes to operational matters (such as communications, training exercises, deployments, ship movements aircraft flights, etc.), the military must often coordinate with bases and personnel located in other time zones. To avoid confusion, in these matters, the military uses the time in Greenwich, England, which is commonly called Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). However, the U.S. Military refers to this time zone as Zulu Time, and they attach the "Zulu" (Z) suffix, to ensure the time-zone referred to is clear. For example, a military message or communication might state, "The ship will cross into the area of operations at 1300Z." That means the ship would arrive in the AOO when it is 1:00 PM in Greenwich, England. Why does the military call this time "Zulu Time?" The world is divided into basically 24 time zones. For easy reference in communications, a letter of the alphabet has been assigned to each time zone. The time zone for Greenwich, England has been assigned the letter "Z." http://usmilitary.about.com/od/theorderl... And that my friend, is Why.
Because it simply eliminates confusion when dealing with people in different areas and time zones and even frames of reference.The military is a 24 hour around the clock worldwide operation. You are simply eliminating an area of potential confusion where people might die as a result.For example, you are planning an operation in Los Angeles to take place halfway across the globe in Southeast Asia somewhere and they are 15 hours ahead in time. You say the team will arrive at 6, briefing the next day at 5, then move out by 10.What does that mean to you? Of course, you can add in the AM and PM and make sure everyone is on the same page, but what is the usual convention? Dinner at 5. Meet at 10 o'clock. Go home at 7. Most people usually just say it as simply as that.Well, you don't have the luxury or time to recheck and explain and double check and hope everyone is on the same page when you are doing some things and military operations is one of those things. So, when you say the team will arrive 1800, briefing at 0500, move out by 1000, there is no mistake when things happen.Police use it for the same reasons. Less confusion and mistakes when documenting reports, planning operations, scheduling work, etc.Heck, in my own life, I have switched all the clocks to 24 hour display where possible. Sometimes I wake up after working odd hours and look at my old alarm clock and I have to wonder if it is 11am or 11pm, but if I see 1100 or 2300, I have no doubts what time it is.
I think there are a few ways to look at this question. First is an unusual single-handed watch that takes 24 hours to make one revolution of the dial made by Botta. They are fun because they always point to the location of the sun in the sky (or below the earth). You see at a glance where you are in the day or night. The horizontal divider indicates approximate sunrise and sunset times.There are also two-handed watches that have a 24-hour scale. The hour hand takes 24 hours to go round but the minutes hand indicates the traditional minutes revolving once an hour. People who need an unambiguous representation of the time use watches like these like pilots, scientists or military.Next you have a 12-hour watch that has a third hand of 24 hours for a second time zone like the Rolex GMT Master. It has a 24 hour bezel that shows blue for day and black for night. This is useful for travelers who frequently cross time zones and need to keep track of where they are and the time at home as well.People who need to keep track of time all over the world use a world timer.Finally you have a 12-hour watch that just has 24 hour indications near the 12 hour numbers like the Victorinox Swiss Army watch.The military signifies time using 24 hours like 0600 or 2300 and a watch like this helps remind its wearer at a glance what time it is in either system.Why do people use these watches? Either they need them for some reason or they just like them as a personal preference.
Which countries use the 24 hour clock and which countries use the 12 hour clock?
The 12 hour clock seems to be particularly common in the US. When I lived there, it was quite difficult to buy a "normal" (to me!) 24 hour clock. No-one used 24 hour time except in a few work situations (mainly IT and international travel). Most US folks called it "military time" reflecting the fact the US armed forces are the other great user of 24 hour time in the USA. Outside the US, 24 hour time is pretty common, almost universal. It is very widespread in Europe (at least, in my experience). In Germany for example, people might *say* "vieertel nach drei" when speaking, but they will always write "15:15". Here in Australia, it's kind of half-and-half - everyone knows exactly what you mean if you say or write 15:15. But in normal daily use, many people will write 3:15pm. So, with great respect to the US (hey I used to live there! And got lots of American buddies): frankly, time and measurement are both weird there! They still use that old inches-feet, ounces and pounds English measurement system, which no-one else anywhere uses, not even in the UK any more; the US gallon isn't the same volume as the old British gallon anyway; and it's nearly impossible to buy a 24 hour clock in a regular department store! Oh well apart from that, I have many happy memories of the US... :-)
Why do military wives act this way? ?
Why do we get upset when there are military budget cuts? 1. Our husbands pay is usually affected, by getting little to no annual pay raise. How would you feel if your husband worked 60 hours a week and got a 1% annual pay raise. I'm thinking you wouldn't be too happy about that! 2. We watch our friends get put out because of a RIF. (It's not only those who are waste of space who gets cut. Sometimes the good guys get cut as well) We know that with the economy, that the next few years for them will be rough, looking for work, finding an affordable place to live, etc. Do you not feel bad when friends lose their jobs through not fault of their own? 3. Because of those RIFs (reduction in force), our husbands are having to make up for the loss of those people. Do more with less.... it's the military mantra! So now, instead of a 10 day with a little stress.... it's a 12 hour day filled with nothing but stress. And now they're working 6 days a week all the time, not just some of the time. 4. Services we depend upon get cut. Fewer docs, closing down movie theatres, bowling alleys, community centers, libraries, youth sports programs. And those are just a few we are currently facing. How would you feel if you lived in town with only 1 theatre and they closed it? And the next closest.... 30 minutes away, in good weather. Want to go to the library on a nasty winter day to find a good book? Plan on a 45 minute drive because of the snow. Have a health emergency? 30 minutes to the ER, because they closed ours down. Oh, and the ambulance has to come from town, so an hour. Sorry if we get a little touchy about the budget cuts. They touch not only the service member, but the family as well. Our service members are stressed and stretched to their wits end. As a result, the families are stressed. As for your other comments.... haven't really heard someone say the 3rd. And yeah, sometimes we do say the second if we get pushed around enough and people are talking smack about our men and women. But, I would love to see what your reaction would be if you and your husband had to face the effects of those cuts like we have to. And, deal with moving every 4 years and our guys deploying for 6 months at a time.
Basically yes - however, there is a relatively cheap way of doing this, in a slightly different manner:What our country desperately needs, is a National E-Verify Law, with three legs:Every person hired by a business MUST be cleared (or vetted) by the existing E-Verify program, which is run by the Social Security Administration and Department of Homeland Security. The existing E-Verify program is already used by many thousands of companies across the country. It is free, fast and easy to use.Every person who applies for benefits at any local, state of federal level MUST be cleared by the E-Verify program.Severe penalties, including jail time and the LOSS OF THE BUSINESS LICENSE, must be imposed on those individuals and businesses who knowingly hire or provide benefits WITHOUT clearing that applicant through the E-Verify system.Without a job, or ‘freebies’, the vast majority of illegal aliens will simply pack up and self-deport. No massive roundups needed (It actually started working very well in Arizona until our liberal courts stomped on their state law and stopped them from ‘enforcing federal laws’.).This would open up 12–15 million jobs to US Citizens and LEGAL immigrants. It would reduce the massive tax burden now used to pay for all the freebies, medical care, schooling for illegal alien children, etc. It would also greatly reduce the overall crime rate because illegal aliens commit 4-5 times as many serious crimes as US Citizens. (YES - it is true. They only make up 6–7% of the US population, but make up 28–30% of Federal Prison inmates.) Legal Immigrants are much more law abiding than US citizens, committing only 1/3 - 1/2 the serious crimes.
Can someone tell me honestly about Ecstacy..or refer me to a good website?
The quick answer is that it will take about an hour to kick in, when it does you'll feel 'spacey', everything will seem a bit more 'amazing', you'll want to dance or just move, talk lots, feel like you've got something in common with everyone around you, this starts to drop off after a couple of hours and you still feel good but in a cuddly more drained way and you won't be able to sleep for quite a while probably late next morning and for not for that long but varies from person to person. Have a few beers and smoke if you like, most people do. Ask the person you getting it off how much to take, if they don't give a decent answer then you're probably buying rubbish, decent dealers have pride in their drugs. The next day you will have a come down which is basically the opposite of all the good stuff from before, drained and empty, this day will be a write off. I say give it a go, it probably isn't worth the comedown but it's worth trying once or twice, and go somewhere that has music on till nice and late, preferably dance music, it'll all make sense when you hear the two together.
