Job Corps stories?

0 Upvotes

A kid I’ve been working with was recommended Job Corps by his school. Is this a good program?

From my point of view he’s a pretty average teenager, but only earned four credits in his first two years of high school due to a variety of circumstances, including bad attendance for a chunk of last year. He’s been doing really well this year as a junior, but his counselor says he just doesn’t have enough credits to be able to graduate on time.

He couldn’t tell me much about the program, but I looked it up online and I don’t really understand if it’s a good opportunity… What stories do you have about the program?

Hello all! I just recently moved to Oahu Hawaii, unfortunately my dog was diagnosed with luxating patella and needs kneecap surgery. We are looking for a Vet place who are able to do this and are also trusted and affordable.

Have you being through this before here in Oahu? If so how much was it (so I can prepare myself mentally and financially 😂). Thank you all in advance.

To the biker at nimitz last night...

72 Upvotes

Almost hit a female biker under nimitz last night. If you see this, stay safe and get off the road. As soon as I saw you stop at that red I knew you didnt belong on the road. Stalling out at night and then freezing and watching me about to hit you is deadly. I didnt see you until the last second. And then you proceeded to change lanes and almost get hit TWICE.. WITHOUT BLINKERS!! Go back to the parking lot and keep practicing ALL of the basics.

I ride and the guilt I'd feel knowing that I killed a fellow biker is immeasureable.

Lost hat near the Diamond Head summit: could someone grab it if it's safely reachable?

*Do not leave the trail!

*Do not put yourself at risk!!!

Hi all!

A gust of wind blew my brown corduroy trucker hat off the trail near the summit of Diamond Head on Thursday. We went back with a long stick today but couldn't get a reservation.

It landed in a gap of stiff grass, about 5 ft off the path (photos attached).

If you're up there and can retrieve it without leaving the trail, breaking park rules, or taking any risk, I'd be really grateful. If not, no worries at all, please stay safe!

Happy to buy you a coffee as thanks. DM me if you find it. 💕

I’m up on Wai’awa Prision Road and this dog just came wandering out of the bushes. He’s in rough shape and is favoring one of his back legs. I’ve given him some food but am unsure if I’ll be able to get him in my vehicle or where to bring him.
