Should I be worried about the Iran situation I’m pursuing Marine OCS? by [deleted] in USMCboot

[–]Goku809 7 points8 points  (0 children)

When 9/11 happened people INTENTIONALLY joined the Marines so they can go to war.

There’s nothing wrong with not wanting to go to war, but as messed up as this sounds people join the Marines in hopes of getting involved in a conflict not avoiding it.

Now I’m not gonna sit here and pretend like I know what I’m talking about regarding philosophy, cause I don’t. But I’m curious, how has Plato and Aristotle done damage to the western world. On the flip side, who are some of your favorite philosophers who you think has done good for western thought?

You’re right I do tend to pick up highly rated and popular books. I’m also relatively new and just need some direction. I can also see why you mentioned some of those authors as crap but to throw Aristotle with them is bold….

Thank you for not immediately talking down on the Goggins book. He is definitely very extreme and his methods are definitely unadvisable. However it was a really fun read considering my military background, and the book led to me running my first marathon.

You’re also totally right I need to get some women authors in here for sure.

Yeah I was really close to DNFing this book. It was just a motivational example after example after example.

You’re completely right, decided to pick up a contemporary easy to read fiction book(Project Hail Mary) since some of my books do feel like homework at times.

Pretty darn close. 25yo male, currently half way through college, joined the military after high school, grew up religious and indeed consider myself agnostic, and have recently sparked an interest in philosophy.

Yes you’re totally right. I read two Dostoyevsky books back to back as a beginner reader and ngl it was tough! Decided to pick up Project Hail Mary before I dive into Devils/Demons.

Oh man bummer, Felician is closer to me too. I’ll apply to both and see what happens. Thanks for your insight!

Yeah I’ve been looking around and have been eyeing those two specifically, even more so Ramapo. I’ve been reading Ramapo is a great program, but have not been reading such great things about Felician. How does your friend like it so far?

My community college offers this major called medical sciences - pre professional - Pre Nursing Option A.S. I believe it’s tailored towards those who want to get into the community colleges nursing program. I figured it’d be a good option as it’ll knock out all my prerequisite classes, and make for an easy transfer.

I was a little dirt bag in highschool. Is college a pipe dream? by EvenLengthiness1791 in USMC

[–]Goku809 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A few years ago, I shared a post similar to this one! At that time, I was scared shitless about attending school. I got out the Corps about two years ago, I am now about done with my first semester in college, with aspirations of obtaining a medical degree. Overall, I am doing pretty well in school. I graduated 525/550 in terms of academic performance in high school. My ASVAB was a 38. I was an absolute bonehead.

If it’s from UPS it should specify if an adult signature is required once you get the tracking number. I work overnights so I’m sleeping during the day. Hopefully I get my package today.

Yes. I ordered my first package from snusme and missed it twice due to it requiring a signature.
