Not in the U.S.  Outside of a draft only the Marine corps picks your MOS for you, and even they might not anymore.  They can restrict based on availability tho'.

And I'm glad women aren't conscripted here in Russia, I heard the conditions in the military here are hellish.

I have in the course of three days gone from my plans for next year being ruined, to being back on track but significantly worse, to quite possibly having a job lined up already.

Accompanied my grandmother to the hospital today for a follow up eye check and things are going well with her vision. Slight double vision, but it's just from her having a weak eye muscle that makes visual drift more pronounced, her actual vision is pretty good now that the doctor has adjusted her glasses with a prism. He's hoping to get her a proper replacement lens sorted out soon.

Also just got a mini aquarium from my mum to set up as a shrimp tank as an early birthday present. Won't be ready for shrimp by my actual birthday, but it's still a nice little thing to stick by my desk and the shop assistant was kind enough to suggest a pump for the filter that they don't carry on the grounds it would be quieter than what they had in stock.

Also got McDonald's with my sister-in-law.

All in all not a bad day.

EDIT: Bit of research has told me the pond snails I have living in a plant culturing tank are good for kick starting water cycling in tanks, so I've plopped a few into the setup and they're trundling around pretty happily.

That aquarium sounds wholesome as fuck.


But anyways, I got the job!! Specifically, a range and wildlife research tech working with bobwhite quail. Aside from bobwhites being cute little fuckers and the job a relatively fun job, it's the first time I've had a *paid* job that's well within my career interests, and makes use of my actual specialized skills. It feels like I'm finally making headway into some sort of career. A good feeling all around. (Not to mention it keeps my streak alive. I've never had a full interview and not been offered the job afterwards)

Very good! It's very hard to get a proper IN in the conservation industry. (They have a credentials requirement list a bazillion miles long, and often a waiting list of people wanting jobs, so they tend to be really fucking picky.)

Best of luck to you!

It's been an exciting day! The police were chasing some stupid fucker all through the town for like an hour, customers would not give us 30 seconds to catch our breath, one government department demanded a formal quote for a $4000 piece of equipment because they had to show it to another department to get funding for it, I saw a truck sitting outside a grocery store on fire... And I made it to the bank on time and paid my bills. I'm tired now.

Some dumbass managed to rear-end me while we were both stopped at a red light, but there was no damage at all.

I'm reasonably local, so I go fairly often.

It's quite nice. Busch Gardens is still super clean and good, with like.... I dunno, 4 new coasters since then?

Baltimore Aquarium was rad AF because i brought my toddler and he was flabbergasted by all of the ridiculously cool stuff to see.
