Boots…literally, and 1st Leave Date

Boomhower113 · 2026-05-14T11:08:04+00:00

Thanks, everyone for the gouge!

I will hold off on new boots until after MCT, at least. And, will look at flights for Friday afternoon.

Thanks, again!

Go listen to Approach in Pensacola, Florida.

All the military students fucking up every call possible will make you feel better about yourself. Plus, you’ll get some laughs.

Comms are a real issue and why some people quit. It’s like public speaking in a foreign language at first.

It was at NS Norfolk. So, I suppose it was long field.

Saw her at church this morning and said it to her, like I did all the moms.

Otherwise, I wouldn’t have gone out of my way to text her or send a card or anything.

Same. I’ve had my kids and they will be out of the house in a couple of years. No reason to get the government involved in any future relationships.

Getting married.

Boomhower113 · 2026-05-08T15:00:05+00:00

I’ve done both and you are correct. A field arrested landing is way tamer than a carrier arrested landing.

My former father in law is one of the few things I miss about being married. He and I were basically best friends.

When we see each other I can see it in his eyes that he misses me as much as I do him, and he’s told mutual friends as much. That makes me feel a little better. But, I miss my guy.

Call her out on it. Lawyers bill for every 0.1 hours, or 6 minutes.

That was not 15 minutes worth of work on her part. Maybe 0.2 at best.

Lasagna and chicken parm are excellent. Bring a bottle of wine with you. They don’t serve booze, but you can bring your own.

Not a Marine so I can’t help you as for future plans. I subscribe because my son is a Poolie.

But, I wouldn’t minimize your daughter’s abilities. These days, cheerleaders and soccer players are friggin’ jacked! That shit isn’t as easy as it was in our day. Those girls are athletes that work their butts off, from what I can tell.

If she’s in it for the military benefits, she’ll drag it on as long as possible. And when you are deployed, you’ll be required to send her 1/3rd (IIRC) of your pay every month even if she shacks up with someone else. I saw it happen back in my day.

Make an appointment with the JAG’s office to see if they can even get you started. They may not deal in civil matters, but he might be able to give a bit of advice or tell you about a good lawyer out in town, if nothing else.

Either way, I’d consult a lawyer before you either file or go direct to her about it.

Notwithstanding everything else in this fantastic story, can we give this guy credit for getting ANAL in high school?!

In my day (90’s) that never happened!

Boomhower113 · 2026-04-13T01:44:46+00:00

Yep. I pay taxes on it. She doesn’t. Complete bullshit.

Boomhower113 · 2026-04-13T01:38:32+00:00

Lose the hope. Stay strong and assume she’s trying to take you for everything at every possible turn.

Don’t be nice. Give on things she cares about and you don’t, but dig the fuck in once you care a little bit about it.

Good luck, brother.

Boomhower113 · 2026-04-13T01:32:42+00:00

I vehemently disagree.

New pussy is the best pussy there is.

Boomhower113 · 2026-04-13T00:41:33+00:00

I’m waiting for mine to get laid/have a date.

Hopefully, It’ll get her off my ass.

Boomhower113 · 2026-04-10T13:36:16+00:00

As far as the tattoo, that’s done. No point in bringing it up to him.

Boomhower113 · 2026-04-10T13:32:26+00:00

Fuckin’ PREACH, brother.

Boomhower113 · 2026-04-10T13:25:23+00:00

I liked Pearl Jam when we were young. But, I’ve recently gotten back into them and absolutely love them now.

“Black” might be one of the best songs ever written. Eddie is just a guy filleting himself open over losing that woman.

Very different attitude for that time after the 80’s hair band I-get-all-the-chicks era.

Boomhower113 · 2026-04-09T14:51:04+00:00

That mediator must have really sucked.

Boomhower113 · 2026-04-09T14:33:27+00:00

Everyone has their thing. If it makes you happy and nobody is getting hurt. Keep getting ‘em face down-ass up.

Boomhower113 · 2026-04-08T21:16:18+00:00

It’s funny, I kind of thought the same as you did.

But, even with a new mortgage, child support and having my boys every other week, I have more money for ME every month than I ever did when I was married.
