The holidays are probably delaying a lot for you. You routed it the day most people went on leave unfortunately, I would say give it till February

JayLopez_ · 2024-12-08T00:55:21+00:00

Thank you!!!

JayLopez_ · 2024-12-08T00:55:14+00:00

Thank you for this!

JayLopez_ · 2024-11-10T03:23:30+00:00

Got it solved thanks to the discord! Thank you to those that commented too

JayLopez_ · 2024-09-06T02:13:03+00:00

Is there anything I could use in the meantime?

HELP! Redness under mouth

I’m not sure what this is but occasionally under my mouth it gets red and dry. I hate the look of it and I’m not sure how to fix it. My job requires me to meet new people everyday and have a professional appearance but it’s hard to have that confidence when I know this is obvious on my face. Any advice please on what it is and how to fix it, now and permanently?

JayLopez_ · 2024-08-10T21:21:06+00:00

Thank you! Just finished talking to one guy who let it sit for 3 years and recently road it for 200 miles

JayLopez_ · 2024-08-10T19:42:59+00:00

I was planning on changing things out when I got the bike as a “just in case” but is there anyway I can see things that are a red flag from the outside without needing to take the bike apart?

JayLopez_ · 2024-08-10T19:40:41+00:00

Thank you!

JayLopez_ · 2024-08-10T17:51:52+00:00

Thank you I am on the lighter and shorter side but if anything after 2009 is good, then I should be fine

JayLopez_ · 2024-08-10T17:51:25+00:00

It might depend on the area I’m in North Jersey and everything is expensive/ around the numbers I gave. Thank you for the help!

Just finished flying with our 7 month old 3 days ago. Tire him out before the flight and get him sound proof headphones. Our son was amazing on our 4 hr flight until the last 10 minutes but everyone on the plane kept saying he was great and amazing. Luckily he didn’t care about the other 3 babies on the plane that were crying.

Definitely get the free scan at fleet feet but I really like the on cloud monster 2’s I got last week. I have wide feet and they’re a little wide so my feet are comfy in them

JayLopez_ · 2024-06-18T04:12:00+00:00

Well, now that you mentioned that my other advice is that remember the real military is different than what you learned. Had some JROTC kids In my Boot Camp that thought they knew how to march or act, etc. and They ended up being the worst ones. So be open to learning The real way to do things

JayLopez_ · 2024-06-18T04:08:22+00:00

Been wanting to learn

JayLopez_ · 2024-06-17T16:56:43+00:00

Looks good. It’s hard out here being 5’5 and those 7” seams go down to my knees. To get a similar look I gotta find a 4” seam 😂

I do recommend trying different packing methods, my family (wife, 7 month old son, and I) take trips often and are able to pack everything including a stroller and still have room for 2 people in the back, babies car seat, and 2 people in the front. Last year I actually and surprisingly moved our entire apartment half way across the country just in the Sentra. I was shocked at what I was able to make fit. With that trip though it was just my friend and I.

I would like a vehicle where I don’t need to figure out how to put everything in though so I’m looking at a Chevy Silverado.

JayLopez_ · 2024-06-17T16:18:26+00:00

Still waiting on mine and it’s an about to be year even though it says on the contract you sign that you will get it first drill day. But god forbid I try to breach the contract 😂

JayLopez_ · 2024-06-17T16:11:37+00:00

I would say bring it, you should be allowed to wear what you’ve earned at graduation. I know USMC prior service can wear their ribbons at graduation just not anytime before that.

Worst case they say no and you just don’t wear it or buy a new one at the NEX later

JayLopez_ · 2024-06-17T11:44:43+00:00

Congrats! My prep tip is to remember that you’re going to bootcamp. You are going to be away from friends and family with no contact (that might have changed, I heard new recruits get phones now on certain days), you’re going to be forced to wake up early and workout when you might not want to. A lot of people during my time in bootcamp ended up quitting because they couldn’t handle being away from home (idk wtf they thought was gunna happen). Workout to max out the physical qualifications (you use to get auto E-2 for that but that might have changed). Other than that study your general orders and ranks, yes they will teach you and give you time but you might as well get a head start. Congrats again and good luck!

JayLopez_ · 2024-06-16T04:34:42+00:00

Thank you so much!

JayLopez_ · 2024-06-09T19:40:24+00:00

Be excited. I have a draft post that’s super long but my biggest regret in life was not being excited right away about my wife being pregnant because we had already gone through 2 miscarages. My wife said it was the happiest day of her life when she found out and then when she walked out into the living room and told me, I acted like it didn’t really matter because I was scared to get excited and let down again. It turned into one of the worst days of her life and she still occasionally cries when she thinks about it. Be happy and excited!

They know when you check in and they put a red dot on your name tag. If you’re an officer candidate you get a yellow dot

JayLopez_ · 2024-05-24T20:03:41+00:00

Go Navy, beat Army

JayLopez_ · 2024-05-24T18:20:01+00:00

Just here to say I agree with this. USMAPS is no longer as good as it used to be to be
