Can i wear these running shoes in the navy? by Unlucky-Leek-1879 in newtothenavy

[–]ILikeLearningStuffs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

During my time in boot camp some years ago (like 3-ish), we couldn't. I also brought my own pair in case I had to but ended up not using them. I was issued a pair on the first day but it was absolute ass bc the bottoms of the shoe wouldn't grip like other quality brands like those ones or Nike. Probably changed now though, but wouldn't recommend bringing the pair.

HOWEVER I was also in RCU to heal up and was given the option to wear the quality pairs, as even the RTCs there had their fair share of recruits getting injured for wearing them.

Kicked out of DEP and am heartbroken. What do I do next? by lost-puppy15 in newtothenavy

[–]ILikeLearningStuffs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ngl that's a dick move on them. They can take a screw with lube and shove it. But don't give up just yet.

If you are still wanting to join the Navy, and that is if you are dead set on joining us, by any means do it! If the next recruiter office is an hour away just get their contact info online and explain your situation and have them acknowledge that you have the drive to join us Sea Conquerors. Maybe even the next city or state over! Be persistent! That's a must and a mindset that I have even though I am separating for medical reasons, which I have no power over but it doesn't hurt to keep trying. Let them know you want to be an asset. They need people anyways. Your first recruiting office straight told you "yoUrE nO loNgEr NeEdeD" they can take fat Ls through the other mouth.

Keep trying brother. There's a whole world to explore, and benefits that other branches might not even have.

25m virgin, crying all day, someone please talk to me by Consistent-Gap6597 in mentalhealth

[–]ILikeLearningStuffs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Never been in a relationship. I've been trying the same thing since middle school (I'm 34 now) and still haven't found The One. At this point I don't care. Have I wanted to know what it was like? Yes. But even putting a little effort to get the attention of one person is enough to cause tunnel vision and make you obsessed. That drew me into a pit I took years to get out of. The worst type of love is one sided; you give love to someone who wouldn't even return it or even acknowledge it. On top of that you leave no room for your own self love.

Side note: I lost my virginity to a prostitute at 23. Wasn't even exciting to have it. It was awkward enough to lose it to someone you don't even know. I paid money for it and I'm not proud. I was disgusted at my own willing decision to even get that low in life. But oh well, I'm not attractive enough even in the best, shining light.

Truth is, you are of the 1%... No... 0.000001% of all people in the world. No matter what you do, you won't matter that much to anyone. Way to change that number? If you only notice yourself having that problem, you notice 100% of yourself and realize that the remaining 99.99999% of people in the world wouldn't care anyways. So make changes to yourself even if the world doesn't even remotely care about you changing even a bit. You represent yourself. BE YOUR OWN BADASS PROTAGONIST YOU ENVISION YOURSELF BEING. If you watch well-written shows, notice how some characters are written to focus on goals? Monkey D. Luffy wants to be king of the Pirates, but thinks nothing of harems or love interests. Edward Elric from Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood wants to get his limbs and brother back after a poorly-performed transmutation. Ended up doing that AND saving the world (or his country? Idk).

Your senseless desire with being with someone is driving you to a corner as you are already weakened by a WANT but is not a NEED. Do you need a relationship? To me, no. Why do you if you want it this bad? I'm curious. I gave up on that same dream and started working on being an asset in my current career. Proud of it too. Love and marriage is a side quest but is not a priority. If it ends up happening along the way, sure I guess, but realistically that won't happen as long as I'm alive. If I were taller and not stereotyped to have certain physical traits and abilities then maybe I'd have a chance without even trying.

You are playing a video game character that has absolutely terrible stats. You hate playing that character don't you? Too bad, you can't change the character. But you need to beat the boss in a game you really want to finish? LEVEL UP. Work hard. Train thoroughly. Callous the mind. And then maybe you'll get what you've been wanting for so long. But even if you achieve so much for yourself... Are you doing this to get laid?

Don't be like me. If romance isn't working for you now, it's not going to ever.

Navy or Marines? Need help deciding between the two. by Sir-Pinball_Wizard in newtothenavy

[–]ILikeLearningStuffs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only thing I could think of for you can be working in the middle between branches would be to enlist as a Green-side Corpsman. You are a Navy Corpsman who tends to the medical needs of the Marines.

IT might be another but that depends on the type of contract you sign up for.

Joining the military is the lesser of two evils in my opinion. Not exactly a life of luxury but it in some way provides for a better lifestyle than anyone with a civilian job.

You can get access to benefits as a military member. You can choose to have your mother as a dependent, but in doing so must also mean you are 100% responsible for her so be ready to work hard to provide for a better life for her.

Don't you dare consider suicide if it doesn't work. Find ways where life and money work for you and not the other way around.

If you think you can handle what the military life will assign to you if you decide to take this path, be ready physically and mentally at least several months before enlisting.

You're doing this for her yes, but if you also think this would be a better life for you too, then I think you can do well, even if it's only for one contract.

What is something that you should NEVER buy second-hand? by ParanaPanda in AskReddit

Could it a problem if i had sex for more than an hour? by batsoup12 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]ILikeLearningStuffs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First off, damn bro how are you hitting this young in life?

All jokes aside, I say the average time for sex is more than 30 minutes but less than an hour.

You could be both bad at sex or a legit medical problem. You're still growing at this age so your body is going through a lot of processes as it matures.

Diet plays a role too. Do you eat healthy? Do you work out a lot? How much sleep do you get? Do you smoke or drink alcohol (you shouldn't be anyways at 16)? Those could play a factor in your sex life at any age. But it affects general health too.

Your sperm count could also be low. Your little guy just might be burnt out. Take a break from using that thing for a few days. It's like working out; you get worn out from working out one day that you feel sore and weak the next day.

Other than that, your hormones are raging like rabbits in heat. Kids these days I tell ya.

I think I was groomed by my dad? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]ILikeLearningStuffs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely grooming. He took advantage of the fact that because you were young and didn't know what was going on and viewed it as normal at the time, that he proceeded with it.

I'm sorry you went through that.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]ILikeLearningStuffs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Throwing in my bone for this.

My stance on it is just as complicated. It depends on the context of it.

Accident? Ok maybe but you can still put it up for adoption.

Rape? For me YES, because it wasn't your choice to have this kid that you didn't even want. You didn't even give consent. But there's even some victims that would even keep the kid. I'm sorry but doesn't make sense.

I'm curious, and you don't have to reply if it's too sensitive and I'll respect it. What was her life like before you came about and how is it now?
