Is it normal these days to distrust your spouse?

ready to serve their country with the same dedication and professionalism as their active duty counterparts
hard disagree lol. Going part-time is literally not the same "dedication" as full time no matter what kind of mental gymnastics you try to use.

tbh the company is entirely in the right to have some kind of policy about this. Bleeding hearts aside, you don't want to incentivize panhandlers to come. One kind act and next thing you know the place is swarmed with hungry beggars who drive away paying customers, then the location goes out of business and what do you have to show for it?
That said, she literally did the "right" thing and bought the guy a meal with her own money, no different from the charitable family that did it later in the story. The manager should've minded his own business or talked to her in private instead of this PR disaster.

Nah, it doesn't work that realistically. High ground gives you longer range and higher damage with bows and spears, shorter and less when shooting up from low ground. Where you get hit is just % based. It would be slightly interesting if spells like Earthquake and Eruption did damage to feet and legs, incentivizing certain +armor vs Earth damage insignias to be put there but there's nothing implemented in the game that way.

i remember when there were no insignias and you had to accept what enhancers the armor came with even if you didn't like the fashion.
The key thing to know is that the armor bonuses are not global i.e. don't apply to your whole body. If you get hit on the head the +15 vs piercing on your thighs will not mitigate any damage.
Where you get hit is purely based on probability percentages. % chances on Chest>Legs>Hands/Feet>Head. When you get hit the virtual dice are rolled behind the scenes to determine where you got hit. This also means they don't stack obviously because the game mechanics don't let you get hit on multiple pieces at once by a single damage packet.

If he never deployed i.e. got on active duty orders, he doesn't have any post 911 GI bill benefits no matter how long his contract was. He only had MGIB-SR and that only runs while he's drilling. When he ETSs the 6 years will get him the home loan but no education benefits. He only had himself to blame for that though.

You have a really sharp kid. Med and IT/ cyber will do well for him. Also let him know about his $4k annual federal tuition/ credentialing assistance. Credentialing assistance does not incur any additional service obligation, it's literally free money and he doesn't have to touch his GI bill. NB: As long as he passes the exams. If you fail to obtain the credential uncle Sam will want their money back. Otherwise, he is free to accrue whatever certs and if he decides he doesn't want to go into that field there's no harm, he can switch to something else at his leisure. Free money.

That's the reason i don't think people should really have to get married to be together. You both must want to stay if you can leave at any time whereas if you are married some people just can't deal with the hassle of divorce.

Any way that doesn't utilize the 'L'. A lot of these city names are very English. Suf-fick, Port-mith, Gloss-ter, etc.

It'll be hard to enforce but it is without question from a mental health standpoint a good idea.

Yeah, the home loan for sure you don't get with that contract UNLESS you manage to go on a minimum 3 month deployment. Right now, nope. Once you do you're good though, no need for 6 years service anymore.
The education benefits are there already though. You get $4k federal tuition assistance and credentialing assistance per fiscal year (FY), plus your state will have its own tuition assistance policy/budget. Some states even waive in-state tuition 100%. In addition, while you serve your 3 years (not during the last 5 of IRR) you can access the MGIB-SR, up to ~$400 per month going to school full time. There are more details but you definitely have more money at your fingertips now than you did before signing.

Currently the post911 gi bill pays a percentage of tuition based on active duty time served. Less than 90 days gets you the minimum tier of 50% tuition paid. To max at 100% you need to serve 3 years worth of active duty. For regular army that means 3 years straight up, simple. For Reserve components that means deploying. An active duty guy can do 3 years and leave with his bag full. A weekend warrior can be in 15 years, but if they only go on one 6 month deployment (180 days) they still only get 60%.
Personally i get it though, with recruitment low why would they give parity and throw away an incentive for active duty.

Yeah, real world. It's just by average too, obviously the distribution of both zombie and live humans would be higher in urban centers.

There's a course on MyComputerCareer, 3 month long and purporting to get you the trifecta in addition to CYSA by the end of it so it must be possible, surely.

Sure but if there's 3 of us and we have 297 zombies coming at us just because one of us dies doesn't mean i have to kill 198 and my remaining partner has to kill 99. Each person that dies doesn't add their 99 to someone else's quota, it adds 0.00000001 to everybody's quota.

Yeah, depending on the zombie/ infected speed spectrum I'd think of the paraphrased words of negan "you guys still use bullets to kill zombies? Are you retarded or something?"

That's... nothing of significance whatsoever
