Congrats! I only did a post-grad cert, and another year of that sounded like too much for me to handle.

I know a few of you work for NPS, is it a common thing for people to bounce between term and seasonal jobs there?

Bouncing between jobs (divemaster, NPS), volunteer gigs (cleaning corals, volunteering at a local aquarium), and going back to school. May finish my masters and pick up a GEOINT certificate while I’m at it after this job or the next is done, but I don’t know yet. e: congrats on your newfound freedom

Back off a touch and see how you feel? 6 days a week feels like a ton. I still lift, but it’s like 4 days a week at most (and rarely that). My job is scuba diving and hauling up marine debris, so I’ve got times where I’m physiologically banned from working out (exertion within 24hrs of a dive is correlated with decompression sickness) or I’ve been hauling heavy poo poo to/from our boats and I’m just a bit too beat to go to the gym after work.

Swimming is the quiet way to get some serious workouts, in my mind. The water keeps you cool, the water gives a shitload of resistance, and it doesn't put up with any cheating. Different strokes can work almost whatever muscle group you want to target, with the benefit of getting some good cardio at the same time. I need to get back to it, but I was doing 4x half-mile sets with mask/fins/snorkel in the span of an hour before the weather cooled down here and I got hyper-busy  The only drawback I see is because you don't get all hot/sweaty while swimming, you skip straight to the "I want to stuff all of the food straight into my mouth-hole" stage of post-workout fairly quick. My solution was to time it to where I'm getting out of the water and going straight home for dinner at a normal-ish time, but if you can't time it like that maybe a small snack or a normal coffee afterwards (caffeine has a slight effect of suppressing appetite) could do the trick too.

I’d love to get more into freediving, it’s even more zen than how you see swimming. Being 40ft down without any dive gear on is it’s own kind of peaceful (until your body gives you the “I WANT TO BREATHE, YOU DUMBFUCK” signal )

Tips on survival from anyone that's been in the area? Never been on the western part of the country outside of a plane, then tah-dah, Alaska! Probably going to be doing a lot of over time so long trips from there are out, wherever there is. https://www.smartwool.com/best-socks-finder.html Yes, they're a little expensive. They're worth every penny, though. I wore these through Fairbanks winters (down to -60F) and never had any issues.

Anyone here have any opinions on Ocracoke Island, NC/Cape Hatteras National Seashore? I picked up a job there for the summer

Handsome Ralph posted:I vacation out there every couple of years. Ocracoke is really nice. Only inhabited part of the island is the western end. I'd imagine dealing with tourists can get a little old but overall it's a really nice spot if you like beaches but don't want to deal with jersey shore type places. I lived in Wilmington for a few years, then FL for the last little bit. Tourists are better than the boomer snowbirds that come down this way

Wasabi the J posted:I really need to get my claim but I keep feeling like a faking failure every time I start. DAV was who I used to process my claim, they made it really easy. Literally the only thing I had to do was show up to the appointments and sign some forms. You earned that $$ for whatever injury or illness popped up during your service. My sadbrains got me rated high-ish, along with 2 missing discs in my back (turns out running with a rucksack on is a bad idea, who could've guessed). I was first diagnosed with dysthymia about a decade ago, and most of the time it's manageable (if only barely). It's just...part of me now, I guess. Certain times of year are worse than others (today is a suicide anniversary for me, for example), so I'm feeling it a bit worse than normal...but that'll mostly pass as soon as February rolls around (back to the normally-scheduled low-grade depression).

On the one hand, you've got you've got an unholy conglomeration of german that mixed with every other language in the area and is barely intelligible to anyone outside that specific region...wait a sec, that applies to both schwaebisch and swiss german
