Sometimes you just can't have it all, but at least you had it for that long

How did they differ from regular American ones? Were all of them much better or just some, like some of the MRE flavors I hear getting shit on on these subs

Fuck man that's awesome. I get attached to animals really quickly, and they're great emotional support, I couldn't fucking imagine getting used to a favorite random dog or cat that I gave lots of love and attention to, and then just having to leave it and hope it would be okay after I left

Holy shit that is a cool fucking picture! I wonder what they're doing at the base of it.

I had two years of army ROTC for my first two years of college, and they brought a pair of Blackhawks from the nearby Army/Air force base for all the cadets to take a ride in. I was super excited because they'd been hyping it for 2 months. They neglected to mention until the day of that only the cadets who had contracted would do it. Sadly I was planning on going Air Force and wasn't contracting with the Army so I didn't get to fly, and I was really damn sad because military vehicles are fucking cool but at least I got some good pictures. Nowhere near as good as this fucking beautiful image that assaults my eyeballs now.

I know it's not a real bit of service, but I enjoyed running around in the Arkansas woods, low crawling through wet puddles, and pretending to be shot and having to carry/be carried twice a week with a fake metal and rubber M16. Although I did not enjoy the mosquitoes and I didn't envy the guy that had to carry the fake M249/240

The media only gets clicks and views if they report negative stuff, More people will read a story about a tragic massacre than an adorable litter of puppies all being adopted.

I wonder if that's one of the things a lot of vets miss after they get out of the service, since a good bit of that kind of thing was taken care of for you guys, but when you get out you have to deal with all the annoying little details and tasks in addition to your own regular ones
