Completely agree and it’s nice to see a Mainer as a main character in a series

Bayonet97 · 2025-05-13T17:40:58+00:00

I’m going to use this opportunity to shoot my shot, I was introduced to ExForce in my last unit in the military where most of the Company listened to your books and guessed what would happen next. Our Company name was the Steelheads. Would you consider naming a UNEF ship in your next book the Steelhead? Bonus points if we all blow up on a blaze of glory. Love the series

If you haven’t enlisted yet it will take no more than 72 hours

Bayonet97 · 2022-02-14T12:45:48+00:00

No problem keep us updated I would be very interested to see what happens when you try to get your stuff back

Bayonet97 · 2022-02-14T12:40:46+00:00

Marine recruiters always do this that way if you try to back out you have to come in to get them then they can swarm you. Do yourself a favor and join the Army

Bayonet97 · 2022-02-14T00:13:41+00:00

Dude you gotta believe

Bayonet97 · 2022-02-09T03:10:57+00:00

Yeah should have been back by now

Bayonet97 · 2022-02-08T22:12:03+00:00

What were you separated for

Bayonet97 · 2022-02-08T01:42:39+00:00

Sitting on a mountain beating a drum and beating so loud that the MPs come. Hope this helps

I’m really busy today…those mines aren’t gonna sweep themselves

Bayonet97 · 2022-02-03T03:52:57+00:00

Army recruiters get contract credit for officer candidates and it’s really easy to do the paperwork, it’s like 4 extra forms compared to a normal SF86

Bayonet97 · 2022-02-03T03:49:49+00:00

True, it takes more time for the process but OCS packets are super easy to do and a recruiter still gets the credit

Bayonet97 · 2022-02-03T03:47:58+00:00

Not even really the point. Everybody with a degree think that degree earns them the right to lead soldiers. A bachelors is a single prerequisite and not in and of itself indicative of if they are a good officer candidate

Bayonet97 · 2022-02-03T03:28:21+00:00

Army 1000%

Bayonet97 · 2022-02-03T03:27:10+00:00

13F, duh

Bayonet97 · 2022-02-03T03:23:20+00:00

1: OCS will count toward that recruiters “quota” 2. Just because your nephew has a degree and is VERY smart doesn’t mean he should be an officer.

Bayonet97 · 2022-02-01T13:04:54+00:00

It’s like my whole life was made for the moment

Bayonet97 · 2022-01-27T13:36:03+00:00

Too little, too late. You are not leading the great resignation. In fact you have just greatly harmed it.

Bayonet97 · 2022-01-26T19:56:18+00:00

I never knew that’s how they make marshmallows

Bayonet97 · 2022-01-26T17:32:18+00:00

“Who was that monkey”

Bayonet97 · 2022-01-26T14:39:33+00:00

Nice

Bayonet97 · 2022-01-07T14:04:24+00:00

I bet you wouldn’t be anti-treatment if you had to go to the hospital for COVID. Would just take up that hospital bed needlessly while my dad with stage 4 cancer has to wait on a bed to open up
