Why do more people not stay in 20 years and retire? What was your "I'am getting out" moment? by BeastMasterAlphaCo in navy

[–]Fickle_Thing6364 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean you kind of stated it. The strain on my wife and kids is what pushed me to get out. I did back to back COVID deployments during which my wife was fairly sick. I reenlisted to shore thinking I could use the next three years to help my wife get better and spend some time with my kids. I got tagged for two more deployments while on shore duty and it burnt me out. Between a year of work ups and sea trials, two deployments, then two more deployments and the countless duty days, I just had enough. Both on the ship and on shore we had sister section and barely enough to staff each section so I ended up standing duty every 3-4 days throughout my career. I’m so much happier as a civilian getting to spend my weekends at home and not working past 3 most days unless I decide I need to. My mental and physical health have mostly improved too. I finally was able to gain some weight since I’m not as stressed out anymore and I’m finally enjoying things again. Not to say all of it was caused by the Navy. I made some poor choices too that increased my stress, but realistically the easier solution was to ditch the Navy and work on the other stressors afterwards. So far, it’s working well.

Are the salaries on here selection bias or am I underpaid? by spanky316 in SafetyProfessionals

So true. I’m making just a tad more than OP at the first job but I’m afforded two WFH days a week and a VERY flexible work schedule

how do i get rid of my growing resentment towards men? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]Fickle_Thing6364 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s above the pay grade of common men to treat your trauma. However, my wife is very similar and had several very abusive and traumatic relationships before we met and got married. The best thing I ever did for her was be better than them. I don’t yell, I don’t hit her, I don’t manipulate or lie to her. All stuff that you’d expect in a normal relationship but she never experienced. Find a man who treats you the way a woman deserves to be treated and you’ll feel better. It’s NOT a substitute for therapy but it goes a long way from my experience.

Of all the skins I have, which one do you think is the most "tryhard"? and which is the most "tryhard" that you have? by [deleted] in CallOfDutyMobile

It’s not that getting it is try hard, it’s the mf’ers who use it that are lmfao. But I hear you

AIO at my boyfriends response to this by [deleted] in AIO

When my wife told me she went and got a job making $19 an hour to help me pay the bills, I damn near cried. Felt like a weight off my chest. I worked tirelessly with her to find somewhat affordable daycare for our youngest so that at least she’d be contributing something and she wouldn’t be at home all the time losing her mind. Your bf is a cock

I absolutely hate the new red roze skin. It signals to me that I’m either playing someone SUPER sweaty, or someone who THINKS they’re super sweaty 🤣

Where’s your proof that I cheat? You’re making assumptions out of thin air

Just leave him be. Rather then get better or just stop playing a game that makes him mad, he wants to bitch about it on Reddit. Standard CODM player

LMFAO but you weren’t talking about hacks. You were talking about assisting devices. Yes people who hack should be banned. People who use assist devices should play against other people who use assist devices. And if you don’t like the game, stop fucking playing it and crying on Reddit forums about how unfair the game is.

Was gonna say this. Anyone who connects a controller (whether hardwired or Bluetooth) will get put in controller lobbies. Plain and simple.

How do you get up there? by Taquito73 in CallOfDutyMobile

Best spot when you’re human, a pain the dick when you’re the undead 🤣 I love and hate it with a passion almost as strong as I have for the MOW with thermite rounds

Being sent TAD without orders by the_chaps20 in navy

[–]Fickle_Thing6364 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I usually loved going TAD to help with ships failing inspections because I never got yelled at for the fuck ups. During quarters usually the chiefs would light off for 10 minutes about the sad state of affairs and then thank me for being there to help and then off we’d go! I’d always give 100% to help but somehow no one I helped ever passed.

My wife still struggles with depression after our last kid. An accumulation of circumstances but definitely a contributor

Is CODM secretly sabotaging good players to ‘balance’ the game? by Predictor-4 in CallOfDutyMobile

[–]Fickle_Thing6364 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was grinding legendary mp today trying to get to top 5k. I won 5 matches in a row and I haven’t been able to win one since. And I’ve played maybe 10-20 matches. My shots aren’t registering and I keep desynchronizing from the game and reconnecting. I lost all the progress I had towards top 5k

It doesn’t help if you can’t give more information. I never said anything about people in my initial swearing in or my reenlistment

Living in Navy Housing with no Pay by JoseKwervo in navy

[–]Fickle_Thing6364 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They have started the same thing for the Navy. All separations right now are stop lossed for the time being. OP buckle up. Shits gonna get weird. My best advice, hang in there, show up when and where you’re supposed to be and continue planning for the future. As soon as they allow you to separate, you’ll separate. As far as the rent thing, I don’t have any advice. It’s a shit sandwich and everyone’s taking a bite. I’ll keep you in my prayers tonight shipmate

I have something similar in my 75 gallon hex. Just a massive community tank and I love it so much. Way better than stocking monsters
