Might be just what I need when I move out of this 60's outbuilding and start investing in aesthetics. Regular desks just don't have enough room for practical use.

Get rid of that shit HP monitor right now and move your figurine case somewhere else. It looks weird there next to your computer. Get a ziplock for those wires too, shit looks messy.

It might surprise you how little people care about that stuff.

People don't care about it.

>>45760661
>Get rid of that shit HP monitor right now
No. It's actually an excellent monitor. VA panel, 2ms, excellent colors and blacks. Only thing I dislike is the fact I can't make the stand higher without a VESA mount and that it is glossy.

>move your figurine case somewhere else
Nope, I like it next to my desk.

>It looks weird there next to your computer.
That's just like your opinion man.

>Get a ziplock for those wires too, shit looks messy.
I have those ikea cable hose like that I'll use once I get my keyboard.

The reason can also be just me working on some hobby stuff. I'm currently in the process of making a little table.

I found an old pic on my phone. It's pretty much the same now.
More clutter, an additional pair of headphones, new calendar page.

The Military is full of people like this. They also have bronies, gays, lesbians. What ever you can think of they are here.

Best everything, and if they are on a base that is "subpar" they can get extra pay. while not 100% the case, it can still happen.

Only branch to do this.

which one? and what about it?

>>45766109
yeah, I read up a lot on hazard pay.

I'm going in as open general to get out of here quicker, but I got an 85 AFQT so I'm hoping I'll get a tech related job

Apparently cyber surety has a signing bonus, going to try to get that

No, it wasn't army, I'm just referring to it as such because I'm not american and it's the only word I know when reffering to an official army of a country. It wasn't even official, I was considering volunteering for the war in the Middle East right now, but ended up with hesistence and not going. Think the Jihadi's, but the opposite side.

Marines is for drop outs with internalized self confidence issues that think theyll earn respect

Army is easy mode marines for people that graduated high school and have no other options

>>45766192
Army are a dedicated branch for wartime on land. *they have air department but kinda not really*

Marines are a sub branch of the Navy. They are more amphibious and also more specially trained.

>>45766215
Funny part is marines tend to me many times more intelligent than anyone in the Army.

>for drop outs
You need to graduate or have a GED to apply for the marines. You must past an IQ test to join. You must pass a strength and endurance test.

The army? welcome aboard!

It's a poker 2 with brown switches, really nice keyboard and very portable

>>45763543
I'm back with said mouse, and it's as comfortable as expected. The buttons above my thumb feel a little weird right now, but I think it's just a matter of getting used to it.
I don't feel any input delay at all, even on the "endurance" mode.
