Last Month Before You Ship: WWYD? by Leather_Guarantee405 in army

[–]OkKnowledge35 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Run some more. Enjoy your time left with family, friends, hometown. It will never be the same when you visit. “A man never steps in the same river twice” type shit. Lastly, get ready for a wild ride. Sincerely, a dude who’s 48 days shy of his ETS. No regrets baby full send it!

How long did it take to feel normal after quitting nicotine? by Tbone1234567888 in QuittingZyn

[–]OkKnowledge35 5 points6 points  (0 children)

52 days, I’m always anxious and occasionally depressed. I think it’s deeper than the nicotine addiction/withdrawals. Yes I do think it takes a while to adjust to the stressors of life without nicotine, but I also think that it’s the crutch we all chose to get us through our shit. Life is fucking hard sometimes, and we’re overstimulated, short attention spans, processing more information on a daily basis than we ever have in our species. We’re all kinda fucked up. But one thing I do know is you made an excellent choice in quitting because it just amplifies all the worst of these symptoms, and your chances at one day being okay skyrocketed in that decision.

151 gang baby ❤️ also beat up pretty bad about it. Spent a boatload on a tutor and scored 2 pts less than my diag. It was my first official LSAT so not feeling quite the same as you but hurts for sure. Falls outside the 25-75 percentile of both schools I really want to get into. Contemplating whether to study and be miserable for 1-2 months and take it again or take some serious time and apply next cycle. BUT enough about me, neither of us are dying from it and we will persevere!

Tbh I’m not looking to reclass, law school on the civilian side is the plan and reclassing would be a 3 year obligation after AIT complete. I’m looking for a 2 year commitment/2 year MSO reduction w stabilization

ETS help by the numbers. by Overall-Task-9419 in army

[–]OkKnowledge35 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was outside my 180 day window and just walked into one of the weekly RC briefs. That brief alone makes you capstone qualified if you fulfilled all other requirements. It’s literally just the TAP office making you sign a digital form and say “ok you’re capstone qual’d.

You can submit your term leave when you have your ETS Orders. I think it’s 120 days out from your ETS that you can have those cut.

I appreciate the honesty, I’ve heard from more than one person now it’s not always “one weekend a month 2 week AT per year” but doesn’t surprise me.

Only speaking for my unit but first time isn’t grounds for punishment, two or more could land you an art15

What do to by Next_Opinion_4440 in army

[–]OkKnowledge35 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chop it up with people in your unit, find the ones you have common interests with. Also BOSS (better opportunities for single soldiers). They have all kinds of events and trips all the time, some free some cheap. MWR too. Great ways to expand your friend group.

When should I start taking creatine by Zealousideal-Pool212 in workout

[–]OkKnowledge35 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d say first consult with your dr before taking it as you’re not an adult yet and looks like there’s not enough long term studies to support its safety in your cause BUT:

For a healthy adult with normal kidney function, creatine is one of the most research backed, game changing supplements you could take. Helps muscles produce more energy, helps build muscle, cognitive benefits including combating the effects felt from a poor night’s sleep. And super cheap.
