MAVEN: Oracle's Derrick Oliver: Lead Manager, Marine Veteran, and new …

But the Marine Corps told me, Hey, this is what you're going to do that's not there anymore. But finally, when I got the notification, Hey, your pin, the retirement has been approved, was going through the process. So I tell you, I actually looked up who I could call heck was my record to actually stop the process. The player who is the last to have balls on the table is the winner. 4. If you miss a shot or scratch the cue ball, the ghost player wins automatically. 5. A player fails to hit his or her designated object ball. You always must strike the white ball first and then an object ball of your own. And then a couple of days, couple of three, four or five days to go back and forth on whether or not it was the right decision. Yeah. Back and forth. That's how back and forth we went with it. So I went through every transition class, every transition program that was out there that was offered.

So I'm like, Man, so mentally people don't understand what I went through during that time, transitioning from the Marine Corps to my first position at CERN of learning how it is to be in the civilian world at the same time. People Don't realize. That's why it may seem simple to the average civilian, but to. In this post, I’ll explain the rules of carpet ball and why it is a great game to play at your next event. Why is that little thing to me is that little parable you make someone get that snowball started, it can really go to a very bad place. You also get to have fun by yourself and maybe easily beat your friends when you play them. Kids love games where they have a chance of beating their parents, older siblings and other adults. Remove the triangular rack and have one of the players use their cue to knock the cue ball into the racked balls at the other end of the table.

In pool, Learn how to play pool a scratch refers to when the cue ball is pocketed on a shot. Chalk: Chalk is applied to the cue tip before each shot to increase friction and prevent miscues. This technique is used to create a backward spin and control the cue ball’s position. And I don't think a lot of people realize that a person who's been in control know how to control things to go to this abyss. It is. So I will tell you that that sent me into a dark place for a person who's always been in control. And Derrick sitting in a you for me, being a person that had made it through so much to now have self doubt man, am I ready for this? And that doesn't bode well if you if you think that you don't have to adapt in somebody else's world, reconsider your thought because you need to do some things that will allow you to even the basics as to coming showing up in the appearance and not knowing what first impressions really meant, because it was always something that you had on the collar or your lapels.

And I think when you have engaged and willing learners, that becomes a very effective opportunity. And I would tell you, I was lucky to have a network that I can lean on because it was a lot of self doubt. So for me, I will tell you, this is where it got real for me, because we this is what people don't think about. Yeah. So on the flip side, you also have to think about your accomplishments and you key in on those things and how what translates can translate. Once you have done that, then learning the rules of the game will be next. And then the one thing that locks it in is it's been approved. The one thing I can say in this this has been resident throughout. Seven of the balls are solid in color and are numbers one through seven. So even though the course is called an Introduction to content design, we had people who were completely new to the field, but also people who are very experienced. Which means that you're not really able to share ideas or generate new ideas as effectively as as you are if you're doing things online and opening it up to thousands of people.
