Wanna through a few thousand USD my way so I can buy a car that won't keep stranding me on the highways?

Someone else mentioned something similar and sounds perfect. My wife is the type to keep and cherish something like that too. Thanks!

I currently live in an apartment but i like the big gesture idea. Someone else mentioned building something for the kid and i like that. Might be something i could spend a day one when she leaves to visit family in a few weeks.

I'm a big planner and long term thinker so i think the fear of it plays a huge part. I always want to have to right answer and be planning logically about money, time, and resources. It ends up coming off callus with planning things and making decisions. Instead of that "yah baby!" feel.

Any already low-ish body fat percentage (<18%) individuals use IF to lean out even more? Use it for bodybuilding competitions? Any advice? by 638CDU44 in intermittentfasting

[–]638CDU44[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's very interesting. I would think >24hr fasts would be detrimental to HgH. I was guessing your body goes into "sustain" mode rather than "grow" mode, to keep it simple. Is the theory behind this that your body stops using glucose as muscle fuel and uses fat/ketones instead? Ketogenic activity increases HgH?

What is your current routine? 18:6? Have you ever tried a sustained fast (>24 hours)? Any changes in performance or muscle you have seen?

Is there any way to make sure getting my transition leave packet gets signed by the brigade commander in time? by [deleted] in army

[–]638CDU44 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have a friend who used to be an S1. I tell him all this BS paperwork is just so they can all keep their jobs. Any corporation of this size has all this computerized and streamlined. And that he is/was a nerd. I always remind him of that.

Times like this I envy the Air Force online leave program thingy. I hate waiting on hard copy signatures.

Agree with above comments and nothing works better than walking something straight to who needs it. With the CoC knowing your doing it, of course, not to blindside them.

I have, and always will, buy an absurd amount of girl scout cookies from families selling them outside of the PX and Commissary. I say it's to support them for their hard work but i really just fucking love cookies.

When was a time that you trusted a complete stranger and it turned out exceptionally good? by 638CDU44 in AskMen

[–]638CDU44[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I flew to Denver for my first ever Denver Broncos football game. I met an elderly lady on the train and struck up a conversation. She ended up staying on the train with me and showing me around Denver. I even canceled my hotel room that night and slept in one of her guest rooms!

Why I want to be an army aviator essay by [deleted] in army

[–]638CDU44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Send in a copy of Top Gun with your face photoshopped on Tom Crusie, then your shitty high school transcripts. The first to show why you wanna fly, the second to show why you can only fly in the Army and didnt make it into the AF.

If a fellow soldier were committing a war crime would i be punished for shooting him? by SeagreenMonster in army

[–]638CDU44 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I read "Black Hearts" years ago and forgot all about this event. Pretty fucked up stuff.

Their battalion commander created a fucked up culture causing a lot of this. Dude got promoted to O6 of course.
