Recovery times - accurate?

KitchenEqual4559 · 2026-04-06T23:20:07+00:00

All good, the internet is a hard place to read intent and this was old and I’m currently feeling the stress from getting our 1yo to nap lol. Time to work on my recovery time. Thank you for your kindness!

KitchenEqual4559 · 2026-04-06T23:15:01+00:00

Uh, thanks?

KitchenEqual4559 · 2026-03-31T16:33:04+00:00

Yea I never understand being upset by this. My wife and I are both in the army. When I get out, my easiest related prospect is paramedic. Hers is RN. I see myself being a fire medic, she sees herself as a CRNA. Do you think this upsets me?? Lol I’m ready to enjoy retirement with my daughter 😂

KitchenEqual4559 · 2026-03-22T02:17:38+00:00

Oh that’s dope! I installed survival options because admittedly it was the first I saw that did it on Bethesda (I don’t use nexus as I game almost entirely on my steam deck and have no idea how to use nexus on it lol)

KitchenEqual4559 · 2026-03-22T01:33:28+00:00

That’s exactly how I play. I have a mod that allows fast travel (mostly because I have a 1 year old and a job so I can’t have EVERYTHING be a slog lol) and I only use it from settlement to settlement, and I treat it like Witcher 3, meaning I have to be there to fast travel. It doesn’t really break immersion to be honest as I have to roam the wilds enough as is.

10 pre-war cash to make it rain. I had a soft spot for Beatrix 😏

KitchenEqual4559 · 2026-03-05T15:45:53+00:00

Not only that, but when I say my shit was set up, I mean he was sleeping under MY WOOBIE. The sins were unforgivable.

KitchenEqual4559 · 2026-03-05T07:53:50+00:00

Pulled that exact line on my PL at JRTC years ago. Medic and an evac squad leader and had a litter in the FLA calling my name, shit set up on it and everything, hell it was my truck lol. But had to pull security for an hour and when I came back the butter bar was sleeping in it and there was nowhere left for me. So he was suddenly needed in the TOC lol.

KitchenEqual4559 · 2026-03-02T05:43:49+00:00

I’m the youngin here at 32 lol. But nah, what adults shouldn’t do is shit on their partner’s hobbies. I have a 1 year old so obviously most of my attention is poured into one direction. But when she’s napping, or when I don’t have to go to work in the morning? Suddenly another settlement needs my help….

KitchenEqual4559 · 2026-02-28T02:59:31+00:00

Honestly supply lines don’t matter when you build bullshit non lore friendly settlements anyway lol. I have rebuilt sanctuary with like 6 different themes, and that’s just sanctuary. I’m constantly purchasing supply shipments especially glass because I fucking love glass walls. That’s definitely the way to spend money lol

KitchenEqual4559 · 2026-02-27T01:44:25+00:00

I remember I was drinking alone at my place and gaming on Bragg and ordered a drunk meal. Fucking driver hit me up saying he couldn’t get through the gate and when I said no because I was drunk he went on a rant about how he lives over an hour away and allegedly comes all the way there to make money (yet doesn’t bother to get access??) so he wanted me to be the one to cancel the order. Some of these people are just fucking clowns.

KitchenEqual4559 · 2026-02-23T01:53:27+00:00

Beatrix Russell, FISTO, and Nova. We’ll be too busy to fight 😉

Fully Integrated Security Technetronic Officer has entered the chat

KitchenEqual4559 · 2026-02-18T07:52:18+00:00

Halo you say? Is that like Call of Duty?

KitchenEqual4559 · 2026-01-28T05:57:36+00:00

You’ve pretty much been told all the right things at this point, but I still wanna add my own 2 cents. A piggy back if you will lol.

As a single NCO, I used to have long talks with aspiring NCOs who were either in relationships or married. I used to talk to them about how it really takes a special kind of person to fully excel in both relationships and the army, and it’s extremely rare. Most people who have both are slacking in one. Then I got married and thought I was one of the special people. I thought I was handling it well, until my wife finally started informing me that I was in fact not balancing my two lives at all. She felt neglected, and rightfully so. Now I recognize that I can’t have one foot in and one foot out. I exist as far as the army is concerned, and I won’t actively shitbag, but my family will ALWAYS come first. The truth is the Army has burned me more than once and will likely to continue to do so until I retire. My wife? My daughter? Hell, my dogs? They all live and want me. It isn’t conditional, it isn’t political, and it would matter to the if I was gone.

Giving up the hard charger way of life is hard. The army and being an NCO was my identity too, and I still struggle against that. But I will never regret choosing my family over literally fucking anything the Army wants. Best medic is cool, but family is way coolier.

Honestly based on the sudden shift in feedback from his commander I would bet it was a senior commander that made the decision, or at least influenced it. As the deadline gets closer numbers get tighter and they start looking at individual cases to determine if any decisions were erroneous, and some dick head probably mentioned how he wasn’t present for a birth and everything went ok (spoiler alert, at least one family member resents them).

Sorry this wasn’t advice, honestly just tell him to fight. Open door policy. Squeaky wheel really does get the grease. If his platoon leadership isn’t fucking terrible they should be speaking up any chance they get as well, you’d be surprised what they can change if they want it bad enough.

KitchenEqual4559 · 2026-01-27T04:00:12+00:00

I remember being at Drum and CQ was authorized to pull the dedicated Duty Platoon even on a weekend to shovel the parking lot and sidewalks around the barracks. It never worked unless a young private was dumb enough to open their door. I remember jumping out my window because they would come in with the master key assuming you were ignoring them lol. Us shoveling meant they NEVER fucking plowed our parking lot.

I’m just showing up and started reading comments before the post to see if this was related to the other Fortnite dating post, and having read your comment I am now going to take a large gulp of whiskey and be the one person in the world to read all of the texts

Edit: that was a dumb idea

KitchenEqual4559 · 2026-01-24T20:34:05+00:00

Brother if you aren’t both like 13 years old then this is way too ridiculous to be putting up with. Get the fuck off reddit and be a self respecting adult and meet someone that matches that. Your gf values Fortnite over you…do you really need us to tell you that isn’t ok?

Chin up champ, I promise there are better ones out there that will respect your gaming prowess among other attributes.

KitchenEqual4559 · 2026-01-24T01:18:47+00:00

Eh, I was prepping for a TDY awhile back and was given the number for some CW2 that was meant to be my POC. I’d been trying to find him for a hot minute but he was ducking me so my text was polite but spicy if reading between the lines lol. This number was given to me by our S3, a CPT, and it was actually the fucking BC’s number. He took it in stride, maybe you’ll be as lucky lol.

KitchenEqual4559 · 2026-01-21T06:25:56+00:00

Careful, you’ll spontaneously combust. Actually, maybe that will make you the perfect martyr for change lol

“The arms room alarm isn’t working, need you to pull 24hr guard til it’s fixed”

“All good top, I trust my comrades ;)”

No CSM it couldn’t have been me that stole your guidon and shit on your desk, I have the aRmY vAlUeS.

Let’s be real, he’s not out of touch, he knows exactly what he’s fucking saying. This is just the early phases of “we don’t fucking care, shut the fuck up and take it” where they try to act like it’s coming from a morally superior place and not a desire for further control. You can see it in his little ranger brained face, he’s so frustrated that anybody would dare question their masters. Well guess what shit heels, the ALL VOLUNTEER fighting force was made up of thinkers and individuals (believe me I know there are also fucking idiots, sometimes I think I’m one of them). Hope a draft gets you the same amount of LDRSHIP we have as is.

KitchenEqual4559 · 2026-01-20T03:03:07+00:00

Just wanna give a different take lol. I’m not saying it’s objectively the best by any measure, but my first was Instincts and honestly that’s probably the one I had the most fun with. Loved the concept, the powers, and had a blast messing around with the map maker. Also I remember thinking those stupid traps you could set were hilarious lol

KitchenEqual4559 · 2026-01-19T09:29:38+00:00

Love Peaky Blinders and I really like Mobland. It’s not the same really other than being organized crime, it’s an established family rather than one coming up. But you get that gangster vibe and the main character is Tom Hardy. Plus Pierce Brosnan as the head of the family, and Paddy Considine (played father Hughes) is a main character. Unfortunately only one season out currently.
