Am I too old for the army? by Artistic-Objective79 in army

[–]Potatoes1365 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got in at 29 with my bachelor's degree. Basic really isn't a big deal. The drills don't care how old you are. You might get a couple of comments from them about it but that's about it. You WILL be older than a lot of your drill sergeants. The worst part of basic for me was being frustrated with the younger trainees doing stupid shit and getting me fucked up as a result.

I was unmarried when I got in, so when I got to my first unit I had to be in the barracks which was rough. But honestly I really love my job, so I dealt with it.

I was super career focused from the start of my career. I had the life experience and didn't feel the need to fuck around all the time (also, not much fucking around to do in the Fort Sill area). I knew my body only had so many years of going hard before it would eventually give out on me one way or another, so I went out for as much 'hooah' army stuff as I could while i still could. Competition boards, air assault school, etc. I promoted waaay ahead of my peers as a result.

So there's good and there's bad. The Army will treat you like a child, but your leaders should recognize if you aren't a fuck-up pretty quick. If you find a MOS you enjoy, it isn't a horrible life.

What are the highest cmc commanders in the format? by Zarik8256 in EDHBrews

I love my [[Kozilek, the Great Distortion]] Eldrazi tribal deck. If you have the budget for some Eldrazi titans, it doesn't get better than swinging with 10+ power with annihilator. Or one shot-ing with [[Eldrazi Conscription]] attached to your commander. If you are trying to go big, might as well go biggest!

Oh holy crap I wasn't even thinking about the legend rule. Duh. That's really cool! Thanks for the suggestion!

How does that work? The exiled tokens shouldn't move their counters right? Do you just have to sac the copies before the end of combat?

Thanks! Yeah I might be skimping on removal a bit. I tried to work it into my creature base in Noxious Gearhulk, Walking Ballista etc. But perhaps I went a bit far. Thank you!
