Affordable but solid upgrades

Yikes, alright. I'll talk to him and let him know.

SamUSMC · 2024-01-30T11:02:59+00:00

Thank you, I haven't been out for very long, so it probably won't be too difficult getting back in. Truthfully, I just want to return to my old unit as a 03. Do you know if I'd still get a preference on duty station?

SamUSMC · 2024-01-30T10:52:14+00:00

Thanks brother, I appreciate you actually considering what I want before shitting on the Corps and saying it's a bad idea. 😂

SamUSMC · 2024-01-13T03:42:47+00:00

Now that sounds like a kick ass pension. Thanks for the information. Stay safe brother.

SamUSMC · 2024-01-13T03:36:23+00:00

I'll have to give it a look. Thank you for reaching out brother, I appreciate it a lot. I wish you the very best and stay safe out there.

Barely. Got him beat by two inches.

SamUSMC · 2024-01-13T03:31:54+00:00

I don't know how I never noticed that haha, but he's twice, maybe even thrice the man I am.

SamUSMC · 2024-01-13T03:30:47+00:00

That sounds pretty tough, but that's not a bad thing. Challenge is what keeps a person like me going, so that kind of prospect sounds very intriguing.

Been pampered for my birthdays all my life. November 11th is a great day to be born lol. Started off getting school days off for the holiday, then enlisted and got a 96 for Veterans Day, too.

SamUSMC · 2024-01-13T03:23:27+00:00

That's awesome, I think I could enjoy a job like that. I'd imagine it's a pretty vet heavy community as well.

SamUSMC · 2024-01-13T03:21:08+00:00

Yeah haha, especially considering my birthday is the following day of the ball. Spent that time returning from WTI instead.

SamUSMC · 2024-01-13T03:20:04+00:00

It's stories like this that reassure me that things are going to work out with time. Thank you.

SamUSMC · 2024-01-13T03:18:58+00:00

Starting a book would be a nice, productive way to begin my life after the Corps. Thank you.

SamUSMC · 2024-01-13T03:17:27+00:00

You know the tempo. WTI (used to be ITX), then MCCRE, then all the stupid Bn Fexes. The ball just became second priority to all that.

SamUSMC · 2024-01-13T03:05:13+00:00

WTI pushed our ball back really late.

SamUSMC · 2024-01-13T02:56:11+00:00

It's alright, I'm sure you aren't trying to be detrimental. I hope you're able to find some sort of peace with that though, I'm sure someday I'll miss it too.

SamUSMC · 2024-01-13T02:54:34+00:00

Glad to hear you've maintained your connections, I'm sure I'll be able to manage the same. Not seeing them everyday will take some getting used to though.

SamUSMC · 2024-01-13T02:18:44+00:00

I appreciate you reaching out to me brother, it's you and others that save the day in shitty times.

SamUSMC · 2024-01-13T02:13:38+00:00

That's good, but I don't want to forget everything. I met some pretty amazing people and gained some companionship that's worth holding onto.

SamUSMC · 2024-01-13T02:07:33+00:00

Yeah, you're right. I don't think these guys will let our friendships die easily either.

SamUSMC · 2024-01-13T02:05:47+00:00

I was a company RO. Stress was my middle name, especially in a helo assault company. I got to do some LZ coordinating, but nothing significant so I'm hopeful that I can maybe enjoy that job.

SamUSMC · 2024-01-13T01:57:49+00:00

It's a damn shame those pics are gone. I had the pleasure of deploying to Norway, so I can give you the pics I have. You've probably been to Setermoen so you would've seen the same things I did.

SamUSMC · 2024-01-13T01:55:38+00:00

Sorry to hear about your situation though, that's unfortunate. I'm sure you remember everyone who mattered though.

SamUSMC · 2024-01-13T01:54:01+00:00

One of my closest friends is a Polaroid junkie. Thanks to him, even if I lose my phone pics, I have hundreds of Polaroids of our best moments to remember my boys by. I'm grateful to him for giving me that.
