Thank God I deployed to a FOB, we (a handful of USAF folks) and the Army didn't wear reflective belts there, God that sounds dumb. In fact we might've had too few rules, it felt like the wild west. As for my dreams, I keep dreaming about showing up to work but in the wrong uniform. I don't mean wearing blues rather than OCPs, I mean wearing my old BDUs. It's always BDUs for some reason. I got these dreams too at my old unit where the UOD was civvies and wearing uniforms was very forbidden, so that was fun.

I had a no-poo poo "late to school and I don't know what my schedule is or what classes I'm enrolled in" dream last night. It's been a while since I've had one of those. Still woke me up.

Saul Kain posted:Been out since 2013. Still get army dreams. Only they feature current (fat) me failing a PT test or worse feature current (stoned) me having to take a wiz quiz. Those alternate with the dream about having an exam in a class I forgot I was taking and never went. Anxiety sucks. I've had that one, too of course. Often not just "oh poo poo I signed up for 19th Century American Politics and today is the final and I never went" but it also usually involves not being able to find the building and classroom it's in. Then again, I actually did take a class that I stopped going to and showed up randomly one day that was coincidentally the midterm which I had forgotten about. It was a lovely class with a lovely professor in a lovely overbooked lecture hall which meant that if I didn't get there early I had to stand in the back so I decided gently caress that noise, I'll just read the textbook and pass with a C somehow.

Still woke me up. I graduated college well over a decade ago and I just had a “forgot to go to a class all semester” dream a few weeks ago. Can’t believe that poo poo leaves such a deep scar. Those dreams hit harder than nightmares.

I still have dreams about being forced to go back to high school. Damnedest thing, I realize how old I am and no one else seems to notice. The worst though, is dreams about work. No bubbles, no troubles, just delivering bread like I would. Then I wake up for work like, "Oh, come ON!"

I'm really glad I'm personally done with exams, but maybe we should arrange the system in a way that doesn't leave entire generations waking up with their hearts pounding 20+ years after they finish.

Nothing groundbreaking, but apparently someone leaked a US intelligence summary online in service of arguing with people on 4chan. It has since been edited to flip the numbers on the Ukrainian KIA (from 16-17k to 61-71k) and is circulating on Russian telegram channels. What a time to be alive.

Just because a document has escaped into the wild doesn't mean that the laws regarding the handling of classified material no longer apply. Quite the opposite, in fact.

Is there any indication that it's real? It was posted on 4chan originally My guess would be us intelligence pretending to leak some obfuscating material to russian intel, who are desperate for a win, to fill the airwaves about the Ukrainian loses and take attention off actual preparations

The computer lab we were supposed to use wasn't ready the first week, and he said to come back in a week and a half or so. Out of sight out of mind, and I never heard him mention it. One day I happen to glance at a window while walking to my car and say "huh, everyone in my X class is in there, I wond-OH SWEET MERCIFUL CRAP"
