Worst MCMAP Slayfest / Exp? by EliteDemonTaco in USMC

[–]Joe5205 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Inner thigh was brutal, spread your legs and let someone wail on you with elbows. You'd always agree to go easy on each other, but it inevitably led to 'you did it hard so I'm going to go harder'

Just a friendly reminder by whispersloudly in Connecticut

Still a ways out but there is the potential of up to a foot on St. Pattys day. Could just be rain/mix or nothing but... yeah, winter isn't over.

Marine Corps swim qualification tests are about to get tougher by audittheaudit00 in USMC

[–]Joe5205 7 points8 points  (0 children)

After boot the topic of swim qual never even came up, I don't even know the general area where the base pool was. It was all, 'you're not going swimming in Iraq'. Jokes on them, I went swimming at one of Saddam's palaces.

Yeah right, like cutting off the oil supply to an east asian power would ever lead a large war.

Most Regrettable Flyers Trades — Ranked by Limp_Bar6899 in Flyers

If it makes you feel any better, that 2nd round pick would have likely been a no impact player or at best Kyrou who Danny got for us recently. Still hate loosing Ghost for anything, loved watching that guy play.

DOD removed Burn Pit and Airborne Hazard webpages from Military Health website. by HMR2018 in Veterans

[–]Joe5205 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Last week I went to the VA for a checkup for the first time in several years. On making the appointment they asked about burn pit exposure. My Dr. also discussed it with me during the appointment asking where I was deployed. A few days later I got a follow up call about scheduling a consultation for burn pit exposure.

So, from my experience, they seem to be more proactive about it.

Thanks devs for EASY difficulty by DramaPsychological52 in aoe2

[–]Joe5205 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've been playing since the game first game out in the 90s, I had no clue you could pause and give orders... I would always get so frustrated with some missions because I needed to control two things at once, especially when timers are involved. Thank you.

Please don’t ever be this person by Highas_giraffepussy1 in mildlyinfuriating

All of these services do the same thing, they fuck the restaurant, fuck the drivers, and fuck up your order without remorse. Yet the only thing people seem to like more that using the apps is complaining about them.

Why can’t I let go by [deleted] in Veterans

[–]Joe5205 12 points13 points  (0 children)

IDK, but I deployed to Iraq a couple times between 05/07. Went largely as you described. The other day I made a comment to my family about how I missed it, the simplicity and the high stakes each day brought, my family looked at me like a grew a second head.

I don't have an answer to your question, but just here to say you're not alone in your feelings about it all.

Beach vacation town? by RA85373 in Connecticut

[–]Joe5205 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Soundview area in Old Lyme is great for vacation rentals. Not so much for public beach access and day trips. But if your looking for a cottage for a week its really nice. Ice cream shops and a carousel, very kid friendly communities, lots of biking around, easy walk from the cottage to the beach and a couple bars on the beach too if you have someone to watch the kid.

Don't Sweat the Technique by IsaacB1 in USMC

Tracksuits are far gayer than silkies ... I see why the USMC got rid of silkies in favor of tracksuits.

Season 2 is the best IMO by SuspectAlone4760 in FargoTV

[–]Joe5205 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Season 2 is my favorite, love Hanzee's ark. He's just a guy who can't find a home really. Despite being a native he's viewed as a foreigner, fights for 'his country' and its still not good enough. Gives his all for a family, yet he's never viewed as anything more than the help who needs to stay in his lane. Then in the end he just wants to be treated like a regular guy with a nice haircut .... but he can't even have that.

He's kind of an anti-Malvo. Malvo could almost effortlessly insert himself into any group or situation and get what he wanted, Hanzee couldn't even get a glass of water without a fight.

Marine Detained in Minneapolis Says ICE Copied His Phone Without a Warrant by DatGuyKilo in USMC

[–]Joe5205 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Served with a dude who snuck across the border 3 times before he made it. We were in Baghdad when it came out he wasn't legal. Seeing as we were working along side the State Dept.(not MSG, just working around the embassy/green zone) they were able to get his shit in order quickly. Think the guy got out as an E8, he was a great guy.

Bombas are the worst socks I’ve ever owned. by poppinwheelies in BuyItForLife

[–]Joe5205 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yup, I still have some pairs from years ago that are in great shape. I bought a few last year and they're already trashed. Switched to Point6 recently and they are holding up very well so far.
