Just wait for the next PATRIOT act
I feel you
but I'm getting real tired of not working
And I'm getting real tired of all the adds with rich people telling us poors to stay inside and not make money for food and necessities
I'm still working because I'm essential
I'd be making $200 more to stay at home unemployed

Apologies, I'm jumping around doing multiple things at once, yes, Black Horse Militia will take newcomers with very little experience. We have experienced people, myself included that can train you on all sorts of methods that are useful to the minuteman, what we are looking for is a true desire to participate in something bigger than yourself. Not only to learn, but to become a pillar of your community.
what's your values?
as an organization, that is
so our only overarching theme is constitutionalism
beyond that
we don't care
no religion, no social ideologies, no politics are forced on anyone
I like constitutionalism
as individuals we all have our own values, but that which binds us right now is constitutionalism
Our CO is Rozzville Grace, a DJ who used to be big in the rap and hip hop game throughout the pacific northwest and southern BC Canada. He's a good dude. I'm the Council Rep for Kitsap, and each of the counties that have enough people have a Council Representative.
interesting
For my county, we meet publicly once a month and try to train anywhere from once to twice a month privately and take on other classes as they come up for first aid, survival, prepping, even cooking, just whatever useful comes up we put it out and some of us will go to it
Imagine if you will, society resets, and many people might be left without the usual convenience they are accustomed to, would knowing something like how to cut hair with sheers and a razor be a useful thing? Sure as fuck would, personal hygiene in those situations is far more important than in times like now where we can bathe in sanitizer
So don't overthink simple skills that you bring to the table
Everyone has something, even the urge to learn, it is how we apply that which makes it useful.
Sorry if I'm taking a while to respond, I'm trying to balance this with pysics work
no worries, I'm jumping through multiple chats and playing a game at the same time, because Murica

Indeed
Reckon I'll look into the group when I'm not as busy, and by that I mean probably when this semester finishes in a week.
no worries
about a year in on a mechanical engineering degree. I still know more from videos on the internet and building things with my dad.
this degree better have a good return on investment
Good luck with that, I was a mechanical engineering tech (Machinist Mate) in the Navy. The degree wasn't something I was interested in. Some of the most difficult classes have nothing to do with your level of knowledge or practical ability to build or invent a system for a situation, but have to do with shit like "technical writing".
That being said, engineers are always useful in society.
Yeah. I had a class this semester that expected me to write three essays on the work "wow"
gotta love these liberal arts schools
Just wish they'd let me take the engineering stuff and skip the stuff that doesn't even apply to my degree
lol
I should be getting some more engineering focused courses like CAD design and statics next semester
@10Lives here is a good link for you since you don't feel you have much experience, there are tons of small skills you can start learning and doing at home.

Thank you for the link, I've been getting a lot of info I'm gonna have to comb through. I've been considering getting some audio books while I'm working as well
