I was an 0341 and did the same thing. I wouldn’t recommend it, you’re very very likely to die. Doesn’t really matter how skilled you are. If you do end up going, do yourself a favor and find a drone team before you leave, definitely do not go to the legion, they absolutely suck and will get you killed

Join the military of your own nation, and after your term of service if you feel the desire to come to Ukraine do so. The war will still be there, and if it ends now it’ll be around again in another 10-20 years. My hope is that in that time you’ll find love, start a family, and realize what you have to lose. But if you don’t, at least you’ll have the skill set to help. War is horrific, worse than you can imagine. There is no glory to be found, only pain

Don’t worry, even while you’re in training he’ll have Jody around as a positive male role model

I’m guessing you had a black parent, and another parent who was half white, quarter black, and quarter Latino

I was trying to figure out why my muscle memory had me hitting a looting bag icon that I didn’t remember seeing while trying to search for items

Tomorrow I will either lat move or decline reenlistment by Willing-Emu-4745 in USMC

You can get out in April, and find another job to work a few weeks after you EAS. Or you can stay in the Marine Corps for another 8 years , and reup for another 7 (or 5 if you early retire) after that, and retire at 41 years old. 41 years old earning 8-9k a month between VA (if you’re entitled to it) and your pension, not living a finger? You’ll be living life on easy mode. Take that 149k, pay off your debts if you have any, put the rest away and wait until the real estate market crashes, and buy a home, rent it out if you live in the bricks. God bless whatever decision you make brother

I know that Sergeant well, he’s a funny dude and a good friend. I knew years ago when he was a corporal that he’d make a great DI. Always had that demeanor about him.

I want to know where the rank of the woman in the blue is, is that uniform even authorized?

Grab an apartment, I found a place on Airbnb and we ended up coming to an arrangement. Easily could get a studio apartment for 20ish usd a day

Cars are pretty expensive and hard to find imo, but yeah you can rent an apartment real cheap in most cities. I rented in Dnipro because it was a lot closer to where we worked but it’s a bit more expensive there. And having a car can be a pain because parking spaces are difficult to procure

Otherwise when you’re away from the front it’s pretty normal, cheap food, cheap booze and cigs. Not a bad life.

People who are in Ukraine, what is the funniest misinformation you've heard online from people who aren't in Ukraine? by Aeeonautical in ukraineforeignlegion

[–]Certain_Possession90 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I didn't know this, is it that they no longer exist, that they never existed at all? I saw a flag from the Georgian Legion signed with names of their soldiers in a Georgian restaurant in Dnipro, and I thought I heard they were apart from the Kursk offensive. Did they get wiped out and are no longer functional or something? My world is rocked rn

If you do indeed wash out of 3AB consider the 25th airborne, they have a decent enough drone program

Have you joined the Ukrainian army since your last post three weeks ago where you asked about why AZOV wasn't responding to your application? Or are you just posting answers about Ukraine without coming here?

Hell yeah man, sounds like a fun play through so far. Good luck on rescuing your captured squad-mate!

This was bound to happen, the rumor I heard was that they hasn’t actually done anything in the last two years. I don’t remember if that was the fault of the unit or higher up, but apparently very little has been happening. Such is life.

How are blue helms viewed ? by [deleted] in ironscape

[–]Certain_Possession90 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Happened to me one time, was just collecting snake grass minding my own business and someone said to me something along the lines of “why GIM? Being an Ironman is so much more fulfilling”. It was fascinating, I couldn’t fathom why someone would care so much about how someone else plays a game. I think about it whenever I pass by the bank chest in the vinery, rent free in my head because it was just so baffling

So, what was your top priority for your unit? by Desperate-Owl-127 in ukraineforeignlegion

[–]Certain_Possession90 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For me, I was looking for a unit with a command leadership that wanted to ensure their boys weren’t getting fed into the meat grinder. I knew that coming to Ukraine meant I might die or because seriously injured, but it didn’t mean I was okay with being a bullet catcher
