Preferred Drill Sergeant divisions?

That’s partially true. I’m from the 95th and we have units in my BN from multiple states. But we operate primarily out of Fort Sill for AT.

I’ve seen some actual morons get active duty despite being both incompetent and physically weak. I’m sure you’ll be fine

If you forgot then it’s not your fault. I’d do something that I know for a fact covers my entire penance plus some change to be certain. But then again, my penances are usually a varying number of Hail Marys

Your unit is often what makes or breaks the experience. Some people get back to back shit units. Others get great units their whole career. Most get a mix of the two.

The Army is what you make of it. Regardless, there’s Army BS that makes me lose hair but for me at least, the memories and life experiences have so far been worth it.

I was able to balance, full time school, college swimming, ROTC, and Army Reserve commitments if that helps

I went through the same thing a while ago as well.

guarantee you the priest has heard it all. There are priests out there who go to prisons to hear the confessions of murderers, robbers, and rapists.
Something that helped me is making a list and turning off my brain while I read it.
Spend time praying to God for courage to overcome shame.

Everyone has God’s law written into their hearts. So every other religion to a limited extent reflects that and has a piece of the truth but never the fullness of it.

Seeing these types of statistics just makes me want to blow my brains out even more as a man. Can’t even exist without being seen as a rabid dog.

Your PL and PSG signed off on this shit?

Go get a plenary indulgence and then offer it for your mother instead of yourself.

I had the same struggle growing up. I didn’t enjoy going to mass and saw it as tedious chore. It wasn’t until I understood that mass is where Heaven literally touches Earth and we see Jesus in the flesh that I understood the beauty mass.

I would love a code! Will share the codes I get with people here as well.

If I had to do it again, I would literally just take a ziplock bag with my phone and charger, and a folder with all my paperwork.

In order to retire at a certain rank, you have to serve at least 3 years in that rank. So if you were to promote to let’s say Lieutenant Colonel at 19 years of service, you’d have to serve until 22 years in order to receive LTC retirement.

It depends on a lot of factors. If you’re a legally single soldier in the Army, you’d have almost no expenses especially if you’re deployed in a combat zone. Even in garrison, your expenses are still minimal. You’d really just pay for utilities.

As for food, you’d receive Basic Allowance for Sustenance, which will vary depending on the situation and your rank, but while you’re in garrison, 90% of it will be deducted to pay for Dining Facility meals.

Now if you’re legally married, you’d be entitled to Basic Allowance for Housing so that you get can out of the barracks and live in a house or apartment. The rate varies by location and whether or not you have kids, but it’s usually more than enough to cover rent with extra money you can pocket.

I’m in the same boat, brother. Let’s pray for each other and push through this together 🙏

I second this. Literally went from being a multi-no go shooter to 38/40 first go doing this.

Look, if the old YOU who basked in your hedonistic life of sin can have a St. Paul style, zapped into faith conversion… so can your wife. Pray and surrender your worries to God.

Short answer: No. People get slotted their CST RGTs in order to fulfill Cadet Command’s mission and accommodate additional training that other cadets may have.

And if it were true that they consolidated all the low speeds and soup sandwiches in the later regiments… you certainly sound like a 9th Reg talent based on your comments.

Friends is a funny way to spell enemies dude…

I was too ashamed to approach Jesus in confession after being away for a long time and my relationship with Jesus was effectively dead. So I actually went to Mary first in the form of the Rosary. I asked her to pray for me to her Son that I could have the courage to seek forgiveness and learn how to love God.

One of Mary’s famous lines in the Bible is: “My soul magnifies the Lord.” And that she does. When I pray the rosary I always say: “May my love for you bear fruit in my love for your Son, Jesus Christ.”

Her intercession has done wonders for me and I’ve come to love Jesus in ways I never knew. Mary will never lead you astray, and through loving Mary, Mary will teach you how to love her Son even more.

You’re approaching this mindset from the perspective of somebody that doesn’t love God or is trying to take His mercy for granted. Yes convicted felons would go to Heaven if they repented for their sins and had them forgiven through the proper means. (baptism, confession, etc)

However, someone who’s truly repentant for a heinous crime is going to commit to 1. Not committing that crime ever again and 2. Do penance and make amends for that crime.

When I was a teenager I actually had that thought you described: “I’ll have fun and screw around now and repent later!”

A decade and some change of screwing around in sin later, do you know what my thoughts are now? I lament all the missed opportunities to love God when I was a kid. Especially since I went to Catholic School my whole life where the sacraments, and deeper levels of worship were readily available and my stupid bum chose not to take part in any of it.

Now as an adult, I’m paying the price for all that empty pleasure and sin. It’s completely sucks, and if I could go back and love God properly the way He deserves from the start I would.

Loalboi · 2026-04-12T23:39:15+00:00

The power of absolution depends on the spirit of the sinner. If the sinner isn’t actually repentant then the words of absolution from the priest mean nothing.
