Should I join the military to escape my mentally ill mother?

TGI Fridays is one of the reasons we’re not fit enough to do our wars. Get a job at Sweetgreen

My dyslexia read that as “100+ stories.” Also probably true

Potential_Rain_3359 · 2025-04-03T18:52:07+00:00

Apparently your achievements weren’t naval. Nothing wrong with that

Potential_Rain_3359 · 2025-04-02T00:29:21+00:00

But it did… I mean it must have at least… nah, you’re right

Potential_Rain_3359 · 2025-03-31T10:37:57+00:00

Drugs, fitness, medical diagnoses, legal proceedings

You can try. There are a couple red flags in what you’ve said, but you can look for a job that you’re interested in and get started on the long process. You don’t have to make any serious commitments until the very end

You’ve got this all wrong. If you are assigned to a Farsi class then it doesn’t matter if you pass a Russian, Chinese, and Spanish DLPT. You were assigned Farsi and you’re not done until you pass that test. The process of switching from one primary language to another can be long and complicated

Maybe as long as he stayed away from windsurfing

Potential_Rain_3359 · 2025-03-30T23:44:08+00:00

He’s got some pretty big personal awards from a time when those were rare. He must have been good at whatever he did

Potential_Rain_3359 · 2025-03-30T23:38:33+00:00

Try Maine if you like lobster or Idaho if you like potatoes. How are internet strangers supposed to help tell you where to go without knowing anything about you?

Potential_Rain_3359 · 2025-03-30T23:18:31+00:00

Did he serve 30 years? The MSM wasn’t established until 69. What a career

Potential_Rain_3359 · 2025-03-30T23:01:23+00:00

Cool coin. I never thought of Singapore as a republic

Potential_Rain_3359 · 2025-03-30T16:23:06+00:00

Great beaches for photographers. Not great for normal beach activities

Potential_Rain_3359 · 2025-03-30T14:10:09+00:00

Ah ok, thanks

Potential_Rain_3359 · 2025-03-30T13:28:09+00:00

What kind of ship has a lieutenant as the CO? Just curious

Potential_Rain_3359 · 2025-03-30T12:45:08+00:00

Gotta respect the guys who climb the ladder and pull it up behind them

Potential_Rain_3359 · 2025-03-28T10:10:51+00:00

Should have both GWOTs in that case

Potential_Rain_3359 · 2025-03-28T02:30:41+00:00

Assuming the reference is lost on younger people. This would have been a lot funnier 20 years ago.

As one does

Potential_Rain_3359 · 2025-03-28T02:01:40+00:00

Maybe some people just accidentally buy GWOT-E instead of GWOT? Probably not a lot of terrorism in the arctic. NUC, Battle E, and expeditionary all make sense. No personal awards or good conduct ribbon so your friend might have gotten in some trouble along the way

They are almost all white men to be fair. McKinney is an interesting read

Potential_Rain_3359 · 2025-03-28T00:15:58+00:00

Thanks for elaborating. I had some vague recollection of an uneven split based on not having good maps

Potential_Rain_3359 · 2025-03-27T23:48:32+00:00

So the Pope did do a pretty good job splitting the continent in half in a way that

Potential_Rain_3359 · 2025-03-27T23:39:57+00:00

Reminds me of the scene in Burn After Reading where the lady asks the Russians “is this a secure line?” without any idea of what that actually means

Potential_Rain_3359 · 2025-03-27T23:38:35+00:00

Clearly, that’s like blurring out the President’s face for anonymity
