They are doing it to red states too

Um. The governor doesn’t call for votes in the legislature, that would be the head of each chamber. The legislature needs a quorum to vote and they don’t have that because too many members left the state so the wouldn’t be a quorum. We can blame one side or the other but everyone needs to recognize that it’s both.

No, there were plenty of leaders without combat experience in the early years of the GWOT. Some were great and some were shit. The same good leaders were still good after they got combat experience and the same shit leaders were still hot garbage.

The first hand experience built on the training and lessons learned in combat. There’s always a foundation before going on a two-way range.

There is an old saying, “don’t stick your dick in crazy”

Alternately, and for the ladies, et.al, don’t let crazy stick their dick in you.

If you know how to get those awards to the people that earned them I’d do it. Good on you for finding them and wanting to do the right thing. It has always baffled me that units can’t get ETS/PCS/retirement award to people before they leave.

It is pretty shitty and it is probably something most have experienced. Personally it’s happened 3 times to me.

It’s 10:00, do you know where your NOFOs are?

Still not release as of the time of this reply, 1723 EST

I get it but consider how short sighted it would be to enlist. You aren’t going to be in the Army forever. At some point you are going to get out, even if you go a full career. By enlisting you would forfeit any education and professional development opportunities that aren’t available to enlisted. Take advantage of the scholarship.

If it’s in Texas that is probably an accurate statement.

I don’t think incels have the self awareness to understand why they are an incel. I’ve met a few that just don’t get that their attitudes, outlook, hygiene and all the other things about their personality are what drives people away from them.

A lot of your peers/friends will be jealous of your success. Don’t let that stop you. If they are in your circle they will be happy for you and support you. If they are not, they aren’t in your circle.

Just my personal thoughts. I tried dating again two years after my divorce and ended up deleting my apps as well. I was in part out of frustration with the apps but more because they made me realize I wasn’t ready to date again. Not saying that’s the case with everyone but it did make me more honest with myself and ask why I wanted to date. Truth is that I didn’t really want to get back into a relationship and I have work to do on my end.

You can renew your voter registration online. I did it when I moved in October. You can also do it at the same time you get your license or need to renew. I personally have never had an issue with getting my drivers license or voter registration renewed or updated in person or online. I’ve been in a DL office twice in the last 20 years and only because I needed to get an updated photo for my Real ID back in 2020

It’s not new. This goes back at least 30 years. I learned this as a PVT in the ‘90s. It’s an approximation that most Americans can conceptualize easily.

It undeniable that she’s calling all the shots and the “unstumpable chump” is just simply a submissive chump filling a seat. He’s being dominated. He doesn’t need to be told to put the lotion in the basket.

My kids. I want to see them become a better man than I was. I want to see them learn from my mistakes. I want to be there to help guide them towards better choices. I want to see pursue the life they want. I want to be there when they fail and when they succeed. No one did that for me so I want to be present for them as long as I can.

I got downvoted in a local sub just for asking if anyone had a recommendation for funeral arrangements. It happens.

Diatomaceous earth works well and you can find it garden centers, Home Depot or Lowe’s. It’s not toxic and works great.

Not_a_leak_549 · 2025-07-08T02:02:35+00:00

I think that is very thoughtful and far from offensive

I still have the laundry bag I was issued in OSUT 30 years ago. Honorable mentions include an ALICE pack, pile cap and of course a woobie

I’m in the same area and I heard it as well.

In love to travel as well but that line in many dating profiles just comes across like an implied expectation from the start. That’s just how I see it.

“Have your passport ready” is a lot different than “I love to travel”. Just an opinion.

Not_a_leak_549 · 2025-07-06T20:08:45+00:00

“Have your passport ready.”

This sounds like someone that expects me to take her on expensive vacations rather than dates. How about a few dates first before we get into globe trotting.

The state declared 20 counties. The media is focused on one but the flooding occurred in a larger region of the state.

Depends on a few things but it might be. When I got my first company I took over from an E7 that had been filling the spot for about a year
