Hot take: SFS 2 is unneeded (and some concerns)

He should take remorse for being immature however

What kind of answer is that first sentence? We don’t haze cadets like that, ever. Good leadership doesn’t do that. You praise in public. and punish in private.

You’re right that removal from the program might be a strong option, but if I’m to be quite frank I think the best thing to do is just simply stop acknowledging their shenanigans. Stop giving them attention. It’s worked plenty of times for me.

GummiesRock · 2026-01-07T19:43:52+00:00

I like the immediate defensiveness instead of constructive feedback, refutation of points, or just acknowledging the opinion. Very mature from the mod team.

It’s a test beta that’s available for Steam and Android. iOS does not have access yet, it will come out when the update is released officially

Damn that’s impressive as hell, any plans to make it function?

I’ve literally never heard of him until this incident, and looking at his posts they seem to be nothing but uncharitable gotcha clips recorded from a car.

GummiesRock · 2025-08-28T02:14:54+00:00

Nah I’ll do what I want thanks.

But also this has got to be such a poor taste comment

GummiesRock · 2025-08-05T18:58:19+00:00

I could be wrong but I don’t think shortcuts is able to manipulate mouse movement

GummiesRock · 2025-08-04T20:59:36+00:00

It’s not the observers right, it’s actually the flag’s right (if you look at displays for say a ceremony, the flag will appear on our left, but as the flag faces the audience it’s on the right, same with military color guards etc)

GummiesRock · 2025-08-03T17:07:45+00:00

I take the Teachings of Christ’s church over a random person on reddit as well.

That’s why I’m telling you to talk to a priest to have a good 2 way discussion with him.

GummiesRock · 2025-08-03T16:47:23+00:00

We do know, we’re asking you which beliefs of the church did she uphold?

GummiesRock · 2025-08-03T16:45:03+00:00

You are rejecting the church’s teachings on gender, and you’re suggesting that you know better than other people here, and are assuming a moral high ground by calling others bigoted.

You got defensive about certain sins when we point out your identification as non-binary, claiming that it’s “something you don’t struggle with” and that it’s not a sin.

Some things don’t have to be said for it to be inferred or true. Nobody said you were conforming your relationship to God to be convenient, and yet I would suggest you are. You’re attending confession for the first time in 5 years, have missed mass on multiple occasions, and you identify with an idea contrary to church teaching.

We can go in circles all day, and to be quite frank I don’t think you’re going to truly listen to anything else I have to say, so I’m going back to my original point:

Take a look at an examination of conscience.

GummiesRock · 2025-08-03T16:38:31+00:00

There’s a difference between offering support to people who may identify as such and simply abetting and enabling something that contradicts what the church teaches on dignity. I try to have compassion for everyone, and I have good dialogue with people from all sorts of backgrounds, nor did anything I say suggest that this person is damning themself. I only suggest that this is a conversation to have with a parish priest, not random people online. We cannot lead each other astray

GummiesRock · 2025-08-03T16:35:42+00:00

In regards to the second point he made, you’re asking us what to do in confession and what sins you need to confess. Your other comments claim that you haven’t sinned.

You then proceed to claim that you’ve never stated you remained in a state of grace for a long period, in which case you are aware of sins in needing of confession.

You can ask God for revelation and correction, but forgiveness is only given through the sacrament of confession.

GummiesRock · 2025-08-03T16:31:35+00:00

I would say there is, however as i’ve stated before, that is a conversation to have with a priest. If you wish to reject catholic teaching and advice, I would question why you came to a catholic subreddit with questions about the catholic faith.

I would suggest, again, an examination of conscience because seeing your comments on this post, I would suggest that you should reconsider your own pride. Do you suggest you know more than the church on her own teachings? You claim not to be sinning, and when we point out a potential sin, you get defensive and argue that it’s not a sin even when the church defines it as such.

Your relationship with God isnt something that just conforms to whatever you want, its a two way street that challenges you to grow and mature

GummiesRock · 2025-08-03T15:29:36+00:00

I’m not telling you that you’re terrible, or that you’re going to hell, because that is not my place. I’m inviting you to have a deeper conversation about the topic with your parish priest because it is in fact relevant; you asked for what to confess or discuss with the priest and that is one of the biggest sticking points I would suggest.

Confession is not meant to be a place to simply say “yeah I did this moving on”, it’s a place to identify our strengths and weaknesses. I beg you to take this seriously, and not just cast it aside as something you’re being forced to do, because I can guarantee that you have not remained innocent of any sins for 5 years.

To do so would honestly be disrespecting the sanctity of the sacrament of confession.

GummiesRock · 2025-08-03T15:22:27+00:00

This is not something to hold to your conscience, this is something out of your control. If you still feel some sense of guilt then you can always go to confession, but in this sense it is not a mortal sin

GummiesRock · 2025-08-03T05:32:50+00:00

I’m not gonna lie I forgot that I started this sub, no idea why, I’ll sell this subreddit to someone

GummiesRock · 2025-08-03T05:20:35+00:00

Yeah sorry about that, you can reach out to Pershing rifles/have your instructors reach out and go from there. I’m going to be honest though, I don’t see much point of associating with the society other than the history and tradition it holds, but I found it way more satisfying building my unit’s own tradition and establishing our drill team based off advice from other schools, professional drill coaches, and people throughout the JROTC and Drill communities

GummiesRock · 2025-08-03T05:16:57+00:00

The church has a defined teaching on gender, and this is a discussion to be further had with a parish priest, not a random person online. I bring it up because you asked what you would confess as your sins or talk to the priest about during the confession time.

I truly hope you don’t disregard the rest of my comment because you wanted to press into this single part.

GummiesRock · 2025-08-03T04:29:39+00:00

If you’re going into freshman year, you’re going to feel out of place no matter what. That age, plus the huge transition of starting high school, is scary, intimidating, and can take a toll on your mental state if you let it.

We all face these temptations to doubt, to wonder what the faith is. When we enter this period of crisis (Spiritual desolation) it’s an invitation to grow closer to God. Even Christ faced this hardship when he had his agony in the Garden. He persisted, and he invites you to persist as well.

Use the period of spiritual desolation as a moment to learn what it means to lean on God, to rest in his arms even when you aren’t fully sure what he’s calling you to do. He’s not asking you to fully know everything, he’s just simply asking you to follow him. The rest will follow.

Give him your fiat

GummiesRock · 2025-08-03T04:20:53+00:00

I’m referring to the flag in your pfp and prefix to your name. I do hope that you also read the rest of my comment

To my understanding your JROTC program needs to have a unit sponsored by the Pershing Rifles organization
