sum certain

Read a random definition: security rating

A quick definition of sum certain:

Sum certain: A sum certain is a clear and specific amount of money that is agreed upon in a contract. This amount can be for a purchase or a loan, and it is always very clear and easy to understand. It is different from a price that can change based on things like the stock market or interest rates. A sum certain is like a set price that everyone agrees on and there is no confusion about how much it is.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Sum certain is a specific amount of money that is agreed upon in a contract. This amount can be for a purchase or a loan. The key feature of a sum certain is that the amount is clearly defined and cannot be interpreted differently by either party. It is different from a price that is based on a changing value, such as the stock market or interest rates.

  • When buying a car, the sum certain would be the agreed-upon purchase price. For example, if the car costs $10,000, then that is the sum certain.
  • When taking out a loan, the sum certain would be the amount borrowed. For example, if someone borrows $5,000, then that is the sum certain.

These examples illustrate the definition of sum certain because in both cases, the amount of money is clearly defined and agreed upon by both parties. There is no room for interpretation or confusion about the amount of money involved.

@m10: 110% agree, china has a truly amazing HUMINT network and espionage skills that much of our military is infiltrated or committing willful negligence of duty in prevent and protection. @babycat: PSYOP is pretty small on the AD side but I left the community to go play with Apaches and drones in 2018/19

Psyop guys will try and convince you they are like secret masterminds. I had this one guy whose wife would call me every week and she would tell me about how her husband just like disappeared and could not be found cus he was a specialy trained psyop officer. I found his phone number and called him the same day online. That woman was gaslit so hard.

is t4 HYSC? yeah prob your odds are not too great for those with 3.7 and 171 unless you’re really extraordinary

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.

@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
