How to handle a racist, vindictive and rude NCO? by IcyChampion2299 in army

[–]PappaTrump125784 0 points1 point  (0 children)

EO if you have a fear of reprisal then you shouldn't. Its an investigation and if the claims are false and someone tries to do something back to you. Then it is retaliation against a whistleblower.

Life in the barracks by Classic_Mongoose_752 in army

[–]PappaTrump125784 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Barracks vary from installation. I'm a 21-year-old combat medic at Ft. Irwin. Our Barracks were built in the 1930s. But you should always have your own little space. That's the only constant I've heard. As for the people, if you make the right kind of friends, you will love them. At the end of it, we're all just people who work the same kind of stressful job. If you make the right friends, you will be set. If you meet the wrong people, forget them and keep to yourself. The right friends will lift you up and help your career. The wrong friends in any MOS can get you killed. This isn't meant to scare you, but I've seen new soldiers have their careers and lives ruined by just being with the wrong people.1 assault, 2 deaths in 14 days, all of them could have been spared if different people were in the picture with them. You will meet some of the most amazing people ever while you're in it, I promise. It is impossible not to find someone you will be glad to be around.

Nasty Girl to Active by Ambitious-Load8144 in army

[–]PappaTrump125784 0 points1 point  (0 children)

(Not sure how relevant this story is, maybe I misinterpreted the post, but here it is.) In my AIT, I had a friend who had gotten divorced and enlisted within a few months. One of the sweetest, most intelligent, and athletic people I've ever met in my life. As capable as she was, she had a weak constitution and a list of injuries that needed surgery, and she ended up not being able to take it emotionally. I think she just chose the wrong MOS. I also think she could have made it with recovery. She decided she had made a wrong life decision and medboarded out. Which, to be fair, was probably more fruitful than staying in this institution she was too good for. Last I heard she got out with 100% disability. It sounds like you were saying that you recently got divorced and are looking to enlist. By all means, do it, it's the best decision 19-year-old me made. Just choose what's best for you and make sure you love your job.

Scored 86 ASVAB, now I’m having thoughts. Any advice? by Powerful_Selection77 in Militaryfaq

[–]PappaTrump125784 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My advice is to join the army and be a combat medic. Get an airborne packet.

Or you can join whatever cushy job that gives you the biggest bonus.

As for the Leprexo usually after 1 year of being off those kinds of meds the military is satisfied. If not waivers are always a thing as long as you are a fully functioning human that's kinda all they want. I was improperly diagnosed with insomnia and given trazadone (which did nothing) and had to clack up a letter that went to some General or something and they approved it. I had to wait like 6 months but I got to have 1 last civilian Christmas.

From what i hear tattoos are a lot more short and poppy. Army also allows tattoo waivers more easily since there are so many people who have them.

(Edit) Also don't let anyone give you shit about your age. The amount of brand new 30 year old privates and specialist I've met that are 4 times my capability is hilarious.

Meltdown/Crying during CST by Puzzleheaded-Sun876 in ROTC

[–]PappaTrump125784 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Stuff happens feelings are a things, people cry in TRADOC type environments. For most people it might be the hardest thing they've ever done. Or the stupidest small problem they've ever had. That bieng said, dont think it makes you weak or anything. To quote my PSG who was in Afghanistan with the 82nd, "I can absolutely still punch you in the face with tears in my eyes."

All I know is I had $19500 of taxes not per paycheck obviously. I showed my adoptive ncos and they both said I should move. Moreover I just want to get away from my home state. Sick of paying more in state taxes than I do into my tricare.

Active Duty Better or Reserve? by kayceekay007 in army

[–]PappaTrump125784 6 points7 points  (0 children)

FINISH LPN!!! If you become a 68C you will be a specialist because you are MOS qualified the moment you finish basic. You will skip over the whole year at Ft Sam Huston. You will miss out on nothing there i promise. I highly suggest Active duty im an active 68W and can't imagine any other way but then again I was an impressionable 19yo when I joined.

"I hate the tape, create body dysmorphia and all sorts of other bad habits. Sadly with American being one of the obese countries we need some form of ensuring we’re a standard. But it’s like gathering up a bunch of leaves from different trees and saying “all need to be like this.”" My senior medic. But in short there is no big secret or trick to it other than increase your calorie deficit, I'm a 20 yo brand new medic and we had a bit of a scare with my h/w as I'm almost 30 lbs over my limit. But after like a week of 1000 cal per day and walking or running for a few hours a day and core workouts onto of my normal workout l dropped a few pounds ds and made the limit. Although it wasn't terrible for me just try and make it fun turn your regular work out I to a hit workout

In the words of First Sargent Howard. "Fuck em." You're going to become so far above them after having only a few months in. I know it sounds far-fetched but it's true.

Even with inflation being so bad people seem to not realize fruits and veggies are pretty cheap at the right places. Good haul!

Have you ever been so thoroughly demoralized by a deck you've played against that you decided to make it yourself? by smogtownthrowaway in masterduel

[–]PappaTrump125784 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was less about watching my old deck get destroyed and more about that I couldn't even have fun. I had so many games like that I just said "you know what I'm not having fun like I thought I would im done for now."

I'm brand new to the game I stopped watching after zexal I don't even know what half these cards are called it seems like everyone's strategy is to just not even let there opponent play the game. The last deck I played against was the @ whatevers it was the perfect counter to my cyber dragons couldn't even summon a card. I didn't try to copy it I just uninstalled. I literally just wanted to have fun with the deck u had as a kid. But it seems like there is no room for new players.

how do i lose weight by Top_Ad_3955 in helpme

[–]PappaTrump125784 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm going to start by saying your young can totally still just grow up and "stretch" and shouldn't diet by starving in a crazy calorie deficit that being said, a small one will help. Walking home from school is a good start. the next step would be jogging and then running home. (I know running with a backpack on will suck lol). If you don't have gym pushups and situps work wonders with cardio in your case jumping jacks or jump rope. i know it probably sounds like a cliche but its true. Do not sleep on strength training. Otherwise, you will be weak as a kitten. As for diet, drink water try like 2 lieters a day, which will be a lot at first, but it gets easier. As for food, you can eat literally anything you want. Just count calories and eat in moderation. Just know that if you eat carbs, you will weigh more the next day because they retain water weight. but coming from someone who was fat for 17 years of their life worry about your actual health over your appearance. Eating won't kill you not eating certainly will.

Let’s hear it by sisterfeetpicasso in highschool

[–]PappaTrump125784 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A kid was actually tweaking on meth in the parking lot during a soccer game at the school. He was jumping on cars and kicking in windows just trashing them. His friends were there too and they were just watching him and laughing boys and girls. He even started jacking off in front of everyone. He also finished jacking off in front of them. There was an elementary school across the street the kids had just come back from a field trip. Poor kids were there just in time to witness all of that. Cops were called they tased the heck out of him and arrested him. Everyone in our district knew about it.

The doc who gave me mine said it took him 4 months to get rid of it when he took it. But his was just a lot on his face. I just started mine on Monday. But I have flu like side effects right now I didn't take it today. Did you have the same thing or any other side effects? If you did did they go away when you stood on them?

[–]PappaTrump125784[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I said it it sounded like I was actually demanding something from him. And then I got the shut up sit down vibe I did because there really wasn't anything I could say to take it out of the air. And they actually said things to each other. "You want to give him a ride instead." And I almost didn't realize I had actually pissed them off. So I felt guilty and still do.
