After his wife left him to raise 2 kids on his own, he still busted his ass as a single dad and full time military and student. He had to finish up his thesis via zoom meeting and they canceled his grad ceremony. Wish we could have been there brother, so proud of you.
FP edit: thanks so much for the support and live. He's a good dude, that got dealt a shitty hand and this is the first big moment since his life goals and dreams went in another direction a couple years ago.

jmeyers1983
Many commanders have relaxed hair standards for now.
AFistfulOfDollHairs
Does he take his kids with him when he’s deployed?
JamJarre
I mean all that effort with masks but they still couldn't keep 6 foot away from each other? Why bother?
ganglionater
I didn't know you could get a master's in drive thru! Do the $12 per hour workers know about this?!
ganglionater

As someone that was in the navy for 10 years and stationed on multiple joint bases, chair force is an office job with semi-mandatory PT.
MyFavoriteScientist
Their living conditions are the best of all the branches, their galleys have the best food...basically an office job.
accountnumbertoo
So everyone smart enough to join the Air Force gets put down? All the maintainers, security forces, munitions technicians, fire fighters...

Hey I go to school there
lenonova
Do you mean the drive thru? I thought you meant you went to school at a drive through. I thought it was a funny joke! ?

I like AFIT, has Great instructors.
ButIAmTheChosenOne
So glad I don’t have to deal with that.
DavidBrooker
When I finished my Masters I went straight to my PhD so I never bothered with the ceremony and kinda neglected to tell my old university 1/2
ActionJohnnie
Should have got the drive thru
DavidBrooker
anything. I forgot about it until a courier showed up at my new office with my degree - apparently they spent some effort finding me. 2/2
venomlash
I graduated in Aug. so there was no commencement, & 2.5 years later I still haven't done the online exit counseling to get my paper diploma.
KennyBlankenshipandVicRomano
In what field did you earn you PhD?

kctrainmechformallykcbusmech87
Hope you engineer with mechs in mind! Not the easiest field well done on your achievement!

You know how to make eggs fly?
KennyBlankenshipandVicRomano
Ohh dang son, well done. I’m no idiot, but engineering, physics, math.... still way over my head

After working on my masters degree I have gained mad respect for the PhD
DavidBrooker
It was a great/terrible experience, and the best/worst time of my life. If I could do it all over again, I would/would not do it the same.
PhilKenSebban
Is this a choose your own adventure?
karateninjazombie
Naaa it's just Schrodingers PhD
DavidBrooker
Yeah, but one of those really bad ones where they all lead to the same ending because choice is an illusion ^_^
idrinkyourmilk
You are the kind of person that only thinks about themselves. Bet the farm you are not even working it the field they got their degree in.
DavidBrooker
My degree is in aerospace engineering. I am currently a professor of aerospace engineering, and a part-time curator at an aviation museum.
DavidBrooker
(The curatorial position is a part-time, voluntary thing - mostly included just in response to thinking only for myself)
idrinkyourmilk
Oooh Look at me, I do extra shit that i think matters. Look dickbreath, you have a trivial job. It only matters to a select few.
idrinkyourmilk
Perhaps you should spend more time doing your fucking job than viewing memes.
DavidBrooker
At 10:00 PM on a Friday?

Hey, quit being a dick.
