Does your SSN change when you get a replacement Social Security Card?
For various reasons, mainly because I'm a bloody fool, I need to get a replacement Social Security Card. What I want to know is do they change your actual number, or do they keep your current SSN?
Cheers in advance.
4 AnswersCredit7 years agoGoing to Meps soon and wondering how to get a 68w Option 4 contract. Also, I have some additional questions.?
Going to Meps in a few weeks and will sign up for 68w (fingers crossed), but wondering what the procedures will be to for getting Option 4. Everyone (online) pretty much says that you have to be a stubborn little s**t and to tell them I'll come back another time, unless they give me Option 4. Still, being the nervous wreck that I am at the moment about screwing away the next however-many-years of my life if I sign the wrong paper, I just wanted to start my own question.
And while I'm here, I'll ask some more.
1) Do they take the Airborne qualification test before or after BCT? (I know I'll pass either way, but it could mean the difference between scraping by and excelling it.)
2) Assuming I'm not able to get Option 4 no matter what, is there anything else I can attempt to do to ensure that I'm not in a hospital unit? Hell, I'd take a clinic over it, but the better the chance that I have at deploying, the happier I will be.
3) Also, am I able to choose a duty station in Germany? Or are you not able to pick one? I was told that you could put your name down for several and that you had a *slight* chance of getting where you wanted to assuming a spot was open.
Oh and by the way, my ASVAB scores are as follows, so I'm not *too* worried about not getting 68w.
AFQT: 93
GT: 131/107
ST: 123/101
If you took the time to read this, then cheers in advance.
If you took the time to reply to this, then triple cheers in advance :D
1 AnswerMilitary7 years agoDo you think Ciara Porter and Cormoran Strike will continue seeing each other in The Cuckoo's Calling?
I just finished reading Mr. Galbraith's (J. K. Rowling) new book, "The Cuckoo's Calling," and I really loved the one night stand between Ciara Porter and Cormoran Strike. While it was only intended to be a brief flair, if there is another book (I WILL BE SO MAD IF THERE IS NOT), do you think that that relationship will continue? As cliche as the whole idea was and the fact that you could see it coming even before she invited him to the club with her, I feel like they are a perfect match. Behind the whorish super-model is a very smart girl who will be attending Uni. of Cambridge for English. I think this would be great idea and would give the future stories some stability besides Cormoran and his sister and Robin and her fiancee. I'm probably going into this too much, but I was mildly disappointed that Ciara wasn't so much as mentioned after a couple of pages after he spent the night with her.
2 AnswersBooks & Authors8 years agoMy mum has been mean to me lately?
So lately I've been having a hard time with life in general, but my mum's just been getting on my case about everything lately. She's nice to my 3 year old brother and 1 year old sister and she's always joking around with my step-dad, but for the last 7-8 months she's been so mean to me... Like I will try to have a laugh, but she will take it the wrong way, start being sarcastic and then yell at me for being a smart ***. Now up until then she's always been amazing and I love her, but I really don't know what to do. Just today I asked if I could go hang out with my friends after I did my chores and she just yelled at me, saying she doesn't feel like I'm a part of the family anymore. She wants me to hang out with her more, but when I do I get yelled at by either her or my step dad. I'm 16 and will be moving back to Australia when I turn 18 so I want to have fun with my friends and yet I'm not able to get that.
Not expecting anyone to reply, just needed to rant, but any help would be appreciated.

The girl I like (i'm pretty sure she likes me back) just got into huge trouble and had to delete her facebook, lose her phone, and can't hang out anymore... I want to show I care and am thinking about her without being a creep. She's a freshman (9th grade) and I'm a Sophomore (10th grade) so we don't have any classes together and I'm moving to a new house soon so I won't catch the same bus as her in a few weeks time so I REALLY need to hit it off now. Any ideas?

1 AnswerSingles & Dating9 years agoHey how well do you think this computer will be for gaming..?
How well do you think this would run Crysis 2/Metro 2033..? I'm not really interested in either of them but they are the best examples I could use for BF3... Please don't tell me to build one because, lets just say it would be complicated with family members, and let's just leave it at that...

Is the 6 core processer really worth the extra dough and are the graphics cards the same? They look to be but... I'm just stupid... Also I know building a PC would be cheaper but ill most likely just blow it up and somehow turn it into an bomb...
Also how well would these computers do on Crysis 2..? If the microtel is only slightly worse ill end up getting that but if it's significantly worse ill probably be getting the iBUYPOWER...
Also any "No" or "i would just like to say" etc answers will be reported under spam.

3 AnswersVideo & Online Games10 years agoHow well will this computer run BF3/Crysis 2?
Hey I was wondering how well the computer below will run Crysis 2..? I don't really care much for Crysis but I figured that if it can play Crysis 2 on high-ultra with 50+ fps then i should be able to push out 60 fps on BF3 on high setting with no shaders or AA... Sorry I'm not techy (at all) but would like to know this ASAP as it takes 1-2 months to ship and I would like it within the week I get BF3...

2 AnswersVideo & Online Games10 years agoNeed help transforming into a gaming computer.?
Hi,
About two years ago all I wanted was a new computer and my parents surprised me with this piece of junk...
http://www.bing.com/shopping/hp-pavilion-desktop-c...
Now, so far I have been able to play some good to alright games on low settings but with the release of BattleField 3 coming up and the fact that I now have a job, I want to make this into a fast computer. I have studied and studied and studied but I can not get geeked out enough to actually understand some of the more technical terms... Now I want to know how I can 1) make this into a 60 fps pc for battlefield 3 on minimum graphix and 2) if and when I get a better graphix card will I be able to use that processor for it to get even like 30 fps on high graphix for battlefield 3. I am looking for the cheap range because im not on a high paying job and i need to save for a car as well but if there is anything that can get this computer into a cheapo medium graphix gaming computer I will be VERY happy!!!
1 AnswerAdd-ons10 years agoHow long do you think a PC with these specs will last?
I have saved up my menial ice cream shop wages for a couple of years now and I have now gotten enough money to buy myself an awesome Alienware M18X Laptop. My question is how long would this be a decent computer with decent graphics? I mean in how long would I have to upgrade it?
My specs are as follows:
Intel core i7 2920Xm Overclocked Turbo Boost to 4.00GHz (8MB Cache)
Genuine Windows 7 Ultimate 64 Bit
32GB Dual Channel DDR3 at 1333MHz (4DIMMS)
Dual 2GB GDDR5 AMD Radeon HD 6970M AMD CrossFireX
500GB 7200RPM Solid State Hybrid
Intel Centrino Ultimate-N 6300 a/b/g/n 3x3 MIMO Technology and Bluetooth 3.0
Internal 60GHz WirelessHD Transmitter and VIZIO XWH200 Universal Wireless HD Audio and Video Kit
Don't think you really care about my sound and DVD Drive options.
Oh BTW it costs $6027.99 :/
So what do you guys think??? I really want this computer for like BF3 Ultimate and the fact that it's a laptop means that I'll be able to use it in college so one way or another I will have it for MANY years seeing as I'm currently only a freshman. But if I buy this will I still be able to play decent games in like 4 years? Obviously not amazing graphics but you know low-med? Also even though i know I could save tons if I built my own desktop I have no idea how to and have no inclination to screw it up. However, could you please tell me how much it would cost if it was a DIY project???
Ty sooooo much in advance!

5 AnswersMusic & Music Players1 decade agoPC build to run Battlefield 3 on High - Ultra?
Getting my first job soon and I figure that when I do I can start saving up for a new PC as my current one, while my parents only bought it last year for like $650 cant even run runescape on full graphics. (I suspect it has something to do with my network as well but that's beside the point). Anyway so I can't build a PC for crap and would probably have to find someone who can (so please don't go all technical on me). So could you please describe a cheapish sort of build to run Battlefield 3 on high graphics, or for what it's worth, on ultra? Or if you bought from a company like Ibuypower or alienware etc could you please name the company and what specs you bought? And please don't forget the price.

Does the Xbox 360 Halo: Reach Bundle contain built in wireless connectivity? I would assume it does but I only just found out that Xbox 360's don't and I was wondering does the Halo: Reach bundle come under the classification of "new" Xbox 360 (i.e Built in wireless)? Would appreciate fast answers. Most detailed (and without crap) answers gets best comment.
