Career Guidance as Navy Cadet

Hello everyone,

I'm currently in the process of joining my country's (NATO) military as an Officer Cadet. My goal was to join the Naval Academy in the "Navy" degree, where I would study and work in fields such as Naval Warfare, Sailing and Navigation. As a backup I had the equivalent in the army. However, after my medical exams, it turns out I'm mildly colorblind and the only option I have available now is the Naval Academy in the "Naval Administration" degree, which is basically managing personnel, supplies and logistics from what I can tell. According to their website I'll still be able to board ships, just not as often, and still be able to do international defense missions with allied countries.

What do you think? Should I join anyway or should I let go and try to find another career?

[Serious] Best Pee Strat

Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this, but I need some advice. Tomorrow at 16:00 I need to pee into a cup at the doctor's office for a drug test and I am a very shy pee-er. Should I hold my morning pee from 8:00 to 16:00 to make sure I have enough of it or should I pee as soon as I wake up and drink water throughout the day and hope I have enough? Thank you all.

Once I achieve I lose motivation

So I've noticed a pattern in my life that I was hoping someone could empathize with.

I've been training for over a year for a physical test that I really want to pass. The other day I tried to do the exercises that I'll have to do in the test and I completed all of them successfully and now I feel that I've lost some of my motivation to get better. It's as if I was trying to prove that I could do it and I feel that I have, although I really haven't since I haven't taken the test. I've noticed this before. A couple years ago I tried really hard to get into a prestigious degree in a reputable university through my own merit. I managed to get in and soon after I lost interest and quit. Has anyone experienced something like this before?

Thank you for your time :)

Ps.: I'm not sure this is related to ADHD, I just figured it might be and the people here might be able to advise me.

Is this a scam?

My wife and I both received message requests on Signal from the same "person". I assume this is some sort of scam but since it was the exact same name and profile image for me and my wife I wanted to see if anyone else has seen this so I can figure out how targeted this attack was. Thank you.
