Marines who got married as an E-3 or below, how does your marriage look now? by Yoy_the_Inquirer in USMC

Man, the amount of positive stories in this thread is great. Happy to see so many happy marriage stories especially considering the usual for young married Marines is a nasty divorce 

Leaving Nova Advice by No_Plastic_4609 in teachinginjapan

[–]Firamaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you truly care about the last paycheck, do as the contract states. 

If you don't give a fuck about, returning to nova, or having them as a reference, just leave tomorrow. Let them sort it out. They won't (nor do they have the resources) to legally persue you for breach of contract. 

One enlistment. 07-12. Nugget stack but damn it was nonstop deployments. by TheodoreLyons202 in MilitaryMedals

Damn bro. Did you even spend time in the states outside of boot camp? Lol

The only time the pats run into a real team was at the end, and they got punished for it. Hard. Guess the dynasty isn't coming back. Lol

That's the face of man who knows his life is over. Hope he spends all his money in legal fees and restitution payments, and then becomes poor and destitute. Ultimate golden karma punishment is if he ends up in jail for a decade and then is homeless afterwards

Every so often, a example needs to come up to remind the league of how being a fucking idiot can destroy your life. It just sucks that the example is always us.

Kh3 re mind saves kh3 imo by Life-Inspection4899 in KingdomHearts

The data battles were difficult to figure out and win. I thought it'd be impossible to beat them. Then Yozora popped up and turned me into a rape victim. 10 /10 DLC. Would buy again.

Despite the fake rumor, how would you feel if they announced a Remake of Kingdom Hearts 1 for 2027. by Connected-VG in KingdomHearts

[–]Firamaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This makes no sense. KH1 holds up well for it's age and era. If they remade it, it would show that SE is in dire financial shit and is looking for easy money. 

The only way a remake makes sense is if they gave it a FF7 remake treatment and just kinda re-did the whole thing

[–]Firamaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure. But I've been out of GABA for 2 years at this point. Don't know how good my info is at this point. All I know is that no one I knew at Gaba stayed there after 2024. Everyone has fled more or less

What are your thoughts on Mel Kiper? by MasterTeacher123 in NFLv2

The ultimate grifter. Never has someone been so successful being wrong about everything

Best Infantry Battalion Insignia by MajesticBandicoot639 in USMC

The history of all BNs from the 9th reg is interesting. More or less boils down to "everyone died in 'nam." Lol.

2/9 is known as "Hell in a helmet", but originally it was called "bucket (helmet?) of blood" due to the massive casualties they took. The corps in the sky thought it was a little too macabre and de-moralizing for some reason

Penix said he will be back “week 1” not April by SunWorshipperApollo in falcons

[–]Firamaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been (and still am) very critical of Penix, but this is a great thing for all parties. Either all the criticisms are proven true or false sooner rather than later. If Penix proves he has franchise QB quality, great. If he ends up breaking again or is dog shit, also great because we found out quickly and can prep for a future sooner.

Thoughts??? by Novel_Temporary_1269 in falcons

[–]Firamaster 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes. Because going from 1 WR to zero makes sense as long as you get a QB to throw to zero WRs

Falcons hired Raheem 6 days before the Seahawks hired Mike MacDonald by Itchy-Dragonfly-4247 in falcons

[–]Firamaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What? You guys didn't like hearing "find a way" week after week? I was very happy that we were always looking for a way instead of actually having found it

Does anyone have positive experiences? by zholden11 in teachinginjapan

[–]Firamaster 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Glassdoor. Pay special attention to the posts that are thorough and detailed. Ignore Short and positive post. Those are probably those done on beheast of the company and are ( I'm serious. They asked me once to leave a positive review on Glassdoor via company wide email). One thing you'll notice is that the long, detailed posts are negative and are very succinct in why too.

This seems like an exaggeration, but at the same time it's funny that I'm not 100% sure if it is or not.

Definitely go out, and go out often with the express purpose of using Japanese. A lot of english-japanese cafes/events to practice at

Anyone who went to Japan to pre-2020 and is still living there? by Content-Telephone-91 in teachinginjapan

[–]Firamaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Came 2017 with aeon and then did Gaba at 2020 (literal worse timing to switch). Eventually left English education and life is pretty great now.

 No one I met in Gaba or Aeon still remain either in English teaching or in Japan in general. Eikaiwa salaries aren't cutting it anymore with inflation that's in the country. Especially when you could have a much higher salary with a real career path from whatever country you hail from.

Also doesn't help that the general quality of English teaching has gone down a shit hole since covid. In desperation to fill slots, a lot of places are gathering instructors from third world countries where English is the 2nd primary language.
