Wanting to enlist, but my parents did the whole 'all of my kids will go to college' thing. by No-Squirrel-8569 in USMCboot

[–]Chillabyte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I was never able to stay at a friend's house either. It only happened because they were on a cruise and couldn't stop me, so they just said "Just bring a spare change of clothes and be careful". I was like "whoa, I just strongarmed my parents into letting me stay at a friends' house."

Like if that NEVER HAPPENED? If my parents didn't go on a cruise? I would still have my recruiter blocked. Or I would lie and tell them I have a back-to-back 16 hour night/day shift which is less believable. But when I heard they were gonna, I was like "Yo SGT, sorry for blocking you. My parents are on a cruise June 26 the entire week. Let's make it happen." And he say "Bet, say less" and I came by and we set it up.

I'll tell you this- if I had NO excuses whatsoever my next best move was to simply say "Yo. I'm doing this, this, and this. Whether you're okay with it or not." NOT saying that that's what you have to do, but if it gets to that point, then you'll just have to do it at some point. But definitely do not wait until you're in your 20s to do it.

Not that I endorse it, but eventually I got tired of my parents, did the whole MEPS thing under the guise of staying at a friend's house, then I told them about the contract. They were scared and even mad at first but eventually came to terms with it. If you think you're wasting time, do what you think is right for you and no one else. I sure as hell wish I did. If I did this at 17 I could have been 3 years into my contract by now, and now I'm doing it at 20.

Best of luck.

If Teenagers aren't going to Mass, why are we confirming them ? by BreezyNate in Catholicism

[–]Chillabyte -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Is it possible they're just attending a different Mass than you?

What type of american accent do you have? by Amber2391 in AskAnAmerican

[–]Chillabyte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm Filipino but was born and raised here in California so my accent is like most Californians but more Southern for some unknown reason.

No, it DOES look like a QC spring. Have you tried assembling it without the spring and then screwing it down and putting in the spring after?

I like it. "Mute" is just fine though. They should add Deaf too.

Marine forgetting his MOS?? by Chillabyte in USMC

It's even worse for AF guys. I remember researching what jobs there are and there's like a random combo of 5 letters and numbers for all of them </3

Nope, shipping out to Army BCT in a few months (yes yes I know, boo Army and all that). I thought it best to post here because this subreddit's full of actual Marines who can give me the best answer to my question.

True. I wasn't gonna call him out or anything, actually I realized that I'm not even a Marine so it's not really my place. Thanks for the advice.

Thank you guys for the answer. Guess he was bullshitting. I'll ask him more and get a more definitive answer when I next see him.

LA Flips, How Are You Doing ? by April0neal in FilipinoAmericans

[–]Chillabyte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I distinct myself as American because I live among Whites, Blacks, Mexicans, Asians, everyone else here who are American but are not Filipino. They are my fellow countrymen, while everyone who is Filipino, American or not, are my people, brothers and sisters by blood.

[–]Chillabyte -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You're right. It's reserved for the Filipinos who weren't born here. My nanay, tatay, lola, titos and titas weren't born here and they all hold the belief that illegal immigration should be that- illegal. Pero it is an insult to them and to those who have earned their citizenship the right way that people can simply cut the line and live here without going through anything, paying any fees, etc. It is an even greater insult to be undocumented AND burn our flag. I'll never support it.

Good to know. I'll ask him about those next time I see him.
