I've worked at the same company for the last 2 and a half years as a "temp" straight from college. I was sent here by the temp agency but for whatever reason my contract never expired and the managers found me competent enough to never fire me. The issue is, I've done the same menial/low-skill tasks at my position since I've first started and my duties only derive from the usual responsibilities if someone is out sick or taking a day off. I've been in contact with a military recruiter and intend to enlist in the US Military (GPA too low and major not relevant to be an Officer) to get out of my hometown and to learn a trade or medical field while serving my country. My workplace is well aware of this and expect that I can be sent away any day though I am waiting on some medical waivers to be cleared before I receive a ship date. The reason why I intend to quit my current position is not because of the military but due to one of our supervisors slowly being more toxic and creating an unproductive work environment. We receive paperwork from our clients on a regular basis and I am in charge of quality checking the work from another employee. I accidentally lost the paperwork received in the mail from one of our clients but this other employee received most of the blame for my error and we both agreed that this was unjust (our process had to be radically adjusted over this minor mistake). In addition, our company conducts regular meetings online several times a week and often times these meetings will go off topic from our supervisor talking about movies or personal events in his life which would cause many of us to fall behind on work and struggle to catch up later in the day. Yet whenever another employee would do the same, the supervisor would become irate and advise them to get on track. In addition, he would frequently gossip about past employees (company has a high turnover rate) and it has reached a point where I am uncomfortable being near this person. Unrelated but I finished up my 4-year degree in the middle of the pandemic and didn't learn anything from my courses or was able to land an internship; both myself, other students and our professors were at the lowest point of motivation. I never really had much aspirations to go to college but my family was offering to pay and I was not able to enlist in the military yet due to health conditions at the time.

I was considering joining the USAF or Navy. Are my chances of seeing combat low? I was advised most members don't see battle throughout their career.

Care to elaborate? I understand that the lifestyle is not for everyone. I have a few coworkers who used to be in the military and enjoyed their time before their contracts ran out.

Graduated last year with a BA in Economics but I didn't feel like I gotten anything out of my degree since I took all my major courses during the pandemic and didn't learn much or receive any valuable experience from online courses. I was initially an Accounting student but swapped majors because I found Economics more interesting to learn about though I ended up feeling apathetic with the material though brief depression and the lack of a physical classroom in the latter half of my schooling may have contributed to that. Was employed at a mortgage company through a temp agency shortly after graduating. At my job I am tasked with basic office tasks including drafting letters to the customers, doing the mail and updating spreadsheets. All of this feels low skill and low stress at a surprisingly decent pay yet I see very little room for growth as the vast majority of the temps in our office do not become full timers; many of them (including myself) have been with the company for 1-2 years and carry the same responsibilities we did in our starting months. I would've expected to learn a bit about mortgages and housing yet I still have no knowledge of the processes given that most of my work is clerical. Logically I should seek out work at a different office but I feel the work experience I've earned in the past year was of low quality. I do not like the idea of working another white collar job since sitting at a cubicle for hours at a time is cumbersome and the office culture feels like a repeat of high school gossip. I feel lost in my career path now and the idea of joining the military to take up some sort of trade while traveling does seem appealing to me. I am physically active outside work so Basic Training shouldn't be an issue and I have zero criminal activity, though I did take antidepressants for about 10 months during my college days (this may have also contributed to my poor relationship with my choice of major) but have stopped using that for the last two years. I do enjoy aiding my coworkers and working in teams but my only concern is that I'm incredibly introverted most of the time. 0 comments

I'm not much of a gamer and almost exclusively play RPGs and Fighting games. I already have a PS5 but I choose PC for Fighters since online seems to be more populated and connectivity is stable. My old HP OMEN 15 broke down and I need something to replace it with at least 16 GB of RAM. I plan on playing mostly fighting games and some indie titles, nothing major from AAA publishers. Can anyone make me any suggestions on which I should buy?
