A quick definition of Millage:

Millage: Millage is a tax rate used to calculate property tax on real estate. It is one of the three factors used to determine property tax, along with fair market value and assessment ratio. Millage is measured in mills per dollar, with one mill being a thousandth of a dollar. To calculate property tax, you divide the millage by 1,000 and multiply it by the property's assessed taxable value. Different local governing bodies set their own millage rates, including school districts, cities, counties, and public service districts. Millage increases are capped to prevent local governments from receiving a tax windfall.

A more thorough explanation:

Millage is a tax rate that is used to calculate property tax on real estate. It is one of the three main factors that determine property tax levies, along with fair market value and assessment ratio. Millage is measured in mills per dollar, with one mill being equal to a tenth of a cent or one-thousandth of a dollar.

If the millage rate is 20 and the taxable value of a house is $200,000, the property tax would be calculated as follows: 0.020 x $200,000 = $4,000.

Each local governing body, such as school districts, cities, counties, and public service districts, sets its own millage rate each year. This rate can vary from county to county. However, local governments are not allowed to collect more tax than is necessary to fund their operations and service debt, so millage increases are capped.

Overall, millage is an important factor in determining property tax and is used to ensure that local governments have the necessary funds to provide services to their communities.

I agree with soap on this one, just wait it out and see where you get into. You could always transfer (although I wouldn't go in with the intention of transferring)

soap

10:37

Transferring is hard and you don’t get money. I wouldn’t do anything with the intent of transferring

[] texaslawhopefully

10:38

Disagree with the transfer. But, yeah a 3.7, 171 is not HYSC material—so unless you’re a Rhodes scholar, or something it is highly unlikely.

JumpySubsequentDolphin

10:39

I thought it was always t6 and t3

soap

10:39

If you’re aiming for T14, that’s definitely doable

@m10: most of PSYOP are guys who failed SFAS and Ranger so much so they can't go back and think being SOCOM makes them SF. I loved the cultural side of it all, going to embassies and running influence operations. Doing KLEs and training with foreign militaries was amazing. Learned so much about the world by talking to those who live all over it. Then got lucky and worked with a Marine HIT overseas and would tag along when they kidnapped people to do some stuff lol The rest of the time was a lot of reports and KLEs

t4 is a concept being perpetuated by Big Chicago

soap

10:41

Chicago rejected me in undergrad, so I have beef

Was there an hls ii wave yesterday?? Didn’t go online at all and feel out of the loop lmfao

@BulbasaurNoLikeCardio: Did not know that but it makes sense. That sounds like a cool career. I would have liked to have done that too. I really would have just liked to have gone OCONUS once.

I was talking to this 88H in a bar last weekend and he had some wild story about being interrogated by the FBI and CIA and shit to get a top-secret clearance or something so he could drive a forklift around Europe, Korea, and Africa. It sounded like a bunch of bullshit to me but do you know if something like that could be true?

babycat

10:45

@shaquilleoatmeal: yeah so I’ve heard

i don't know any of this military talk but i was going to be a combat medic or trauma surgeon for so long before i went this track lol, so my only exposure is seriously looking and visiting places like west point for recruitment lol. i speak russian so everyone always told me that raises your chances at those places lol

jackfrost11770

10:46

my brother is a combat medic too

@m10: was a great career, the main job is being a cultural expert building rapport and relationships with foreign nationals, militaries and even people hostile to make the area safer and at times bring in the ODAs or three letter guys to train, arm and fund them to aid in their(our) cause. OCONUS is great but not necessary, I only did two real deployments but a lot of missions to places. That is all 110% BS. I have a TS-SCI, worked with federal agencies they do nothing crazy like that.

Damn - 3rd invite missed smh no love for me from hls

@jackfrost11770: That's like a huge pitfall. People say it's easy to get into like med school or law school through West Point and it is not at all. Yeah, Russian would make you very valuable to them. You will see West Point people in law school but that's very few compared to how many went through the prelaw program there. Best just to enlist and become a combat medic. I've seen like 4 of em here anyway so you didn't really miss anything by going straight to law school.

I "speak" Dutch but never used it after training back in 2012. Russian is great if you can get into INTEL but outside of that they would just assign you a lot of NATO roles if you go EUCOM. If you go Jag it may score you a nice job in Europe but at this point with the lack of benefits the military would give you just go state department as an attorney and you will travel the world.

@BulbasaurNoLikeCardio: Oh yeah, I get that. My buddy just got back from Jordan and he gained like 25 lbs there just being a fat ass doordashing for 50 cents a delivery.

jackfrost11770

10:50

yeah haha i mean i was like 15 so i didn't know anything, and yeah that makes complete sense. my main thing was that i knew i didn't want to go to medical school and i didn't want to straight out enlist so that kinda closed the door on that

glovediedthisishismom

10:50

please listen

m10

10:51

@BulbasaurNoLikeCardio: indeed, it could but I could also just like visit on my own time. Though I have met like 10 or so JAG officers that got an Italian or French or Spanish wife while over in Europe so that is cool.

jackfrost11770

10:52

but i'd love to talk to you about that sometime if that's alright because i've been seriously considering INTEL and other similar roles but i know quite literally nothing about it and don't know where to start researching

@glovediedthisishismom: oh my god that guy is a psychopath. Tjhat guy scares me.
