Have you ever considered talking to a therapist? Not a medication-prescribing psychiatrist, but just a person who listens professionally and can provide perspective. I'm betting you could find one who specializes in military transitions who would Skype with you. You can talk out what you're thinking a bit in total privacy.

Yeah, that's a very good idea. And a much lower cost than "four more years in," also.

If only there were a high-demand, espirit de corps type job in which you spend the majority of your time doing poo poo like patrolling an urban environment while feeling victimized by your bosses, your nation, and everyone who ain't your bros.

tbh, afaik the marines weren't fooled by the stick. it was the iraqi army that believed they could find bombs with a stick.

I wasn't in yet but when my battalion deployed in 2003 they burned down their entire tent city somehow. They still tell the tales of the property claims that everyone had to fill out to get reimbursed for the property that was destroyed and how no one at all took advantage of the situation for personal profit.

To be fair to those who lived in those tents, the Kuwaiti's waterproofing method for canvas tents was super flammable so a spark would turn the entire place into a fireball.

One of my boys I served with hit me up and turns out he's BACK in the corps. All I could do is laugh at him. Then I had a dream where he showed up at my door and was like " yo boi grab this gat we go'n to afrikkkka! " I was also completely covered in sweat and running a fever, hell yeah sick as gently caress crazy dreams.

I wonder who in here has the weirdest nightmares. Dark as gently caress sandstorm, full MOPP gear and I cant find my weapon. Somehow that's the one where I wake up sweating. Not the weapons outboard going down the road in an unarmored truck on an endless road one, or when I'd swear I hear the Gun Display Unit (GDU) beeping or "Fire Mission" going off and wake with a slight start. Those ones are just annoying. Not ruin your day territory. The cat helps, but I'm in a hotel for work so he's back home, bugging my sister. Anyone else have weird dream poo poo?

They took out the dead hang a year or two back, and added in the option for both genders to do push-ups instead of pull-ups, but the push-up option maxes at 70 points.

If you do 17 pull ups, 100 crunches, and come in right at 28 minutes you'll get a first class PFT. I did that math in 2002 cause holy poo poo do I hate running.

I never understood the point of crunches. Seemed like it was just free points.
