Does the Army get as sandy vagina over being called a POG as the marines? Everyone I ever worked with basically had to marry a rifle or M9.

The Air Force wouldn't let me have one and that made me mad for reasons head injuries made me forget.

According to the nice and good looking lady doctor at the VA I talk to every few weeks, this is A REAL BIG PROBLEM. As in you need to talk to someone and they need to help you fix this. Which you are, however....

The reporting so far is that she asked, it was approved.


Wanting names unmasked to understand intel isn't a problem and is easily justified. The issue is what the gently caress were they talking about that 1 - required their names to be unmasked for the loving NSC and 2 - gave enough reasonable justification to allow the names to be unmasked.

Hint: They were talking about poo poo they shouldn't have been. Trump, his campaign and his entire entourage are Russian stooges and belong in prison.

I wound up going to a funeral of a Marine I didn't know, who enlisted after I was discharged, solely because the brother of a friend of mine was in his unit and needed a friend to make it through. It hit me harder than I thought it would. If you think its sad, it is. I hate seeing that soldiers are still dying in Iraq and the middle east in general because we shouldn't be loving around in that hell hole anymore.

Brevard county is a black hole of shame, disgrace and stupidity.

Also don't gently caress the locals. The county cooks the books on STD rates and the HIV numbers are close to west African nations. Also Hep C is rampant.

If you go to the Viera VA clinic... Don't. There are 3 docs there worth a drat. The rest is a dumpster fire. But in a MH crisis try to talk to Dr Charbenau. She is good people.

Don't craigslist a weed connection. The Sherriff and local PDs run sting ops through there. Don't gently caress with any other drugs in this county because it's all dirty mixes.

If you live on the islands grats on not being dirt poor. If you live in Cocoa, West Melbourne or Palm Bay, move to the beach anywhere not Florida or re-enlist. Whatever it takes to not be here anymore.

I was so sick in the first week due to sick fuckers not covering their goddamn mouths that I literally dropped at mail call and had to be ambulanced over to the hospital. I missed the confidence course which was like the only goddamn thing I wanted to do in Basic.

Also people act hard in basic like they got something to prove. They just aren't jaded yet. Or broken.

They quarantined the flight I started in just after they transferred me. The whole flight. Because everyone caught this horrid strain of mono/pneumonia/flu/plague. They put me in a temp flight just to grad and go to TS and I spent the last week sleeping in the DI's office and not allowed to be with in 5 feet of everyone just so I didn't spread it.

I thought everyone being sick was the way it always worked. Is that not right?
