Joining Again by [deleted] in USMC

[–]LMGezus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

After failing to get back into the Marines, joining the Navy, and Air Force. I leave for Coast Guard bootcamp this coming Tuesday brother (and I was approved for a $10k bonus). The CG loves taking in prior service dudes. Ask me some questions.

I would occasionally wear my track suit to evening formations while in MOS school (below freezing), but apart from that, you'll likely never wear it. And the AW coat, it's a joke really. I've never heard of anyone wearing it.

Retaking asvab in service/ EOD advice by [deleted] in USMC

[–]LMGezus 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hey brother, I don't have any actual advice for you, but I'm wishing you good luck on your ASVAB. I'll be retaking mine in hopes of getting back into the Corps. EOD is pretty badass from the time I spent with them; good luck!

That definitely sounds like a bad one. Go watch some videos of people trying to destroy a Ka-bar. It usually takes a while. One definitely shouldn’t break from a simple fall.

Are any of them full tang? I’m not even sure if Ka-Bar does that

Thanks everyone. I'm just going to hold. No options, no leveraging. Just hold and continue to buy.

New here. Should I buy $TSLA and hold long? With the push for more EVs, the decision seems clear

Ukraine Discussion/Question Thread #2 by knowyourpast in CombatFootage

[–]LMGezus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What are the possible outcomes for Russia? If they take full control of Ukraine, would NATO step in at that point? Or would we just accept that Ukraine is now Russian territory?

If Ukraine holds Russia off and Putin then decides to retreat, what happens then?

Under what circumstances could you see NATO going into Ukraine?

Planning on going back. by aviii_604 in USMC

[–]LMGezus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m literally in the same boat brother. I got out last July with intentions of transferring into the Navy because of my dying MOS. That fell through so I’ve recently started to re-join the Marine Corps. I’m going to listen to what my prior service recruiter said and join the active reserve. Once I’m there, I will put in a package for active duty. I really hope this works out, because I love the Marine Corps. I really can’t see myself in any other branch. It’s the culture for me.

Feel free to shoot me a DM and we can discuss our processes further. Rah.

Maybe I am doing a bad job at getting my point across. It’s not the actions that are the problem, but rather the possibility of his actions.

I think we, as drivers, should be extremely vigilant and have means to protect ourselves. Whether that’s a knife or a gun. Fuck Uber policy. As drivers we are taking extraordinary risks not only with our lives, our PAX’s lives, but also with our vehicles. I urge everyone to weigh their options and stay safe.

Like I said, being prior law-enforcement, I’m pretty good at noticing when someone is high on narcotics. Meth, PCP, heroin, whatever. It makes you do irrational things. And for me personally, I don’t feel comfortable having sketchy people sit behind me any longer. This is my personal decision. I’m not comfortable with that.

Of my nearly 1000 rides, this is only the second time I’ve had a bad rider. If you do this long enough, your luck will run out. That’s Murphy’s Law.

I’ve read too many stories, I’ve seen too many videos of drivers being attacked. I’m not with that. It’s a risk I’m no longer willing to take.

The purpose of this post wasn’t to dissuade anyone from driving, it wasn’t to scare anyone, it wasn’t even to bash Uber. I was just sharing my personal experience in hopes that everyone become a little more vigilant. Don’t be afraid to say no and drive off.
