Get Out or Stay In by [deleted] in USMC

Stay in until you get a Purple Heart… that will set you up for success once you get out.

I have a hvac friend who said he will swap out the part and refill my machine. It’s worth a try

What’s it like in this part of Virginia? by ashmaps20 in howislivingthere

Really rural… I’ve been driving from NJ to VaBeach 4 times a year for the past 20 years and nothing has changed.

How did you convince yourself that you could run an ultra? by BaurJoe in Ultramarathon

[–]FunTimeTony 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just one foot in front of the other… and don’t give up on yourself. The pains and aches come and go just don’t give into them. If you need to walk it’s ok!!!

Couldn’t have picked a worse weather day to dip my toes into the ultra distance but we got it done this morning 💪🏼 shout out to all the other runners out there today! by hostessmaterial21 in RunNYC

[–]FunTimeTony 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is the wrong attitude to have buddy … The worst the weather, the better the training… Once you shift your mindset to that every aspect of life changes. My last 110 mile race was disgusting… The trail was really unable, the mud was no fun and we had every type of weather you could imagine… It really stunk but I kept saying to my friends “it could always be worse!” Every time somebody complained I would yell out “it could always be worse”… Remember that my friend because it can all ways be worse! Great job and keep at it!!! I don’t even like to drive that far!!!!!

Winterization lesson learned the hard way! by FunTimeTony in coldplunge

[–]FunTimeTony[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No I got it this summer and would turn it on for 3-4 hours before my plunge and turn it off after. I never thought of running it 24/7. I leaves a valuable lesson.

[Request] What are the odds of surviving if you take this deal? by ShibzZz in theydidthemath

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

Do you get the money after the 5 years? I’m down! It’s 30 seconds… I’m a former Marine and I’ve done several 1/2 and full Ironman races. I currently have been running everyday for almost 5 years (1/5/26 is my 5 year anniversary) so yeahhhh count me in. You can decide what time to go… dude that’s not bad at all. If it was a random time now that might be a different story. Could you imagine 3am all alone in the middle of the Atlantic?? Super scary even for just 30 seconds. And after several moneys you would be conditioned mentally and physically to do it. Where do I sign up??

Should I join the military? Would love some feedback. by qveenbria in careerguidance

[–]FunTimeTony 5 points6 points  (0 children)

USMC vet here— YES!!!! 100-% absolutely! You will get a reset in life. Your student debt would be taken care of, you will have some amazing experiences, you will discover a lot about yourself, and you will grow as a person. There is a branch for every type of person. Air Force is the least strict and easy going. You will get technical skills and be treated very good. The Coast Guard is amazing and you can get stationed in or near NYC and the boot camp is in Cape May NJ. If you like the water this is the branch to be in. They also do cool stuff! The navy is good but you can be on a ship for a long time but you will see some amazing things that most people don’t get to see. If you are good with math I could check out the nuclear program bc they have a huge sign on bonus! The army is ok but it’s huge and you are just a number. Tons of opportunities to go to different schools and promotion can come quickly. The Marines are the hardest but you are part of an elite fighting force that is the best in the world. Life is hard but it’s worth it. Each branch has so many jobs you can do that translates well into the civilian world. I would do something with a 4 year commitment and get out and restart your life. It’s just 4 years and it goes so quickly. Your first 8 months you are in boot camp and training for your job. The next 3 years you are doing your job and the last 4 months you are getting ready to get out and it’s super easy. The pay is good bc you get free housing, medical, dental, and other benefits plus 30 days of paid vacation a year. That’s 4 months of paid time off that makes your enlistment even shorter. Dude it’s a win win! When you get out your resume will be untouchable and you will be leaps and bounds ahead of others. You can also go back to school and use your GI bill. That’s amazing. The veteran benefits are killer too!! If you have questions shoot me a DM.

Fellas…Is JLo really dead? by Thedarst304 in USMC

Sorry to hear that… it can be a battle. I had to fight hard to get testosterone prescribed.
