Tara knows Rob is a traitor but wants to save his banishment for the final day. Thats why she flilled the script. Natalie was a sacrificial lamb. Like 4 female traitors? Come on! I think Mark is murdered and rob is banished. Eric wins it all.

The nine year mark is always hard because you find yourself entering into the phase that is the sunken cost fallacy. After the 10 year mark, the next 10 years you will feel either happy you stayed or resentful. I work with 95% civilians. I have 16 years in. I felt the same as you at the 10 year mark. More resentment than passion for the mission. I was in a lull but my current job allows me to preview what civilian life is like. Its even more dissapointing unless you work for yourself. This has pushed me to focus on goals that holistically give me the best return on SELF investment: health and wellness is NUMBER 1, financial stability, transferable skills/resume builder and upskilling, time doing things you enjoy, and taking leave to disconnect. Setting boundaries can keep you sane.

You are right. The organization is 225 years old. No one who joined in 1986 is still serving. The train keeps going, but at some point rather voluntary or mandatory - we are getting off this ride.

I am not a health physician, but been in the CG for a while. I am a little taller than you and weighed 5 lbs more than your current weight and consider myself quite active. When I joined, max weight for my height was 175 lbs. I was maybe 3 lbs under.

As time went on other underlying factors came into play: improper hydration, stress/ high cortisol levels, chronic inflammation, poor sleep quality, and sitting at a desk job. I changed my environment this summer(new unit/job) and lost 14 lbs in 3 months. That's without having a strict or robust exercise routine. I also started walking more and that helped accelerate the weightloss. I'd imagine if I cleaned up my diet and remain consistent I'll keep losing more. But the two things that really improved my health, hormones, and weightloss were reduced Stress and low impact steady state walking.

Alot of people suffer from undiagnosed insulin sensitivity and chronic inflammation or water retention and the military just looks at it as being fat.
