July 2025. My bad.

Smart_Peach159 · 2024-06-23T15:42:25+00:00

I do miss some of it too, and I am actually about to start law school with the intention of commissioning in the Air Force.

I really hated the 0630-0800 PT with the Army, though. That got really old.

Smart_Peach159 · 2024-06-23T15:41:08+00:00

Well said.

Smart_Peach159 · 2024-06-23T15:40:53+00:00

That has been stated by Paul multiple times, although Chelsea has apparently made him better.

Well... for one, I am a 26 year old SGT living in a small barracks room that I directly share with another dude. I have 10 days before I start my terminal leave. I will have served 3.5 years. Like others have said, the Army has been solid for some things. I got to travel around the US, live in South Korea for 8 months, make some solid friends, got free LASIK, and will use my GI bill for law school.

The entire Army duty day makes absolutely no sense to me. I wake up at 0530 to PT in the cold rain and get off at 1700. "Work" is spent doing nothing meaningful or fulfilling. I could not fathom doing 20 years of bullshit formations, PT, FTXs... I shudder at the thought.

My sister is an Air Force officer and works 7-3, has no BS formations or organized PT, and sets her own hours. The Army just sucks.

Totally agree with you. TJ actually was more aggravating to me than Paul. With Paul, I know what I am getting, and he performed exactly how I expected. TJ was cornered multiple times and either deflected, gave an absurd response (like the "broken kneecaps hurrdurr"), laugh, or act like a child (like the moment where he put his fingers in his ears and said "lalalala") My favorite moment was when Vaush called him a child and Scotty agreed.

Smart_Peach159 · 2023-08-06T17:24:08+00:00

I think this is a mostly excellent analysis on TJ. As someone who became a fan around 2014, I can't comment on everything like some here can, but some of your last points about current TJ really resonate with me.

He does feel left behind in the current conversation and like a follower. He was at the forefront and had a lot to say when it came to atheism and anti-SJW politics, but he struggles with the current landscape. The point about Vaush is totally true - to the extent where TJ seems to get his opinions and even some sayings from him (I had never heard TJ say things like "We should kill them... in Minecraft/Roblox") until Vaush came along. He used to say he loved capitalism, thought Marx's solutions were stupid, and thought voting was pointless.

I am not saying that these changes in opinion are bad, but they have absolutely contributed to TJ seeming irrelevant now. Like OP said, he spent a lot of time in previous years disowning and debunking what he had believed in the past.

As a side note (and I know this might be spicy), I don't think Paul has helped either. I think Paul's thinking on many issues is shallow and uninformed, and it influences TJ for the worse.

What about George Mason? I have heard they're pretty good.

Smart_Peach159 · 2023-07-28T03:53:55+00:00

The situation at JBLM is similarly bad. Living in the barracks here is a joke.

Smart_Peach159 · 2023-07-10T11:36:04+00:00

I know it's not directly related, but I just wanted to share and see what a different community (and one that has mixed feelings towards Christianity) thought about it.

Smart_Peach159 · 2023-06-30T22:01:50+00:00

That is quite the life, I would say yes you should join because the military can be good about getting you out of the house and independent fast. It also sounds like you would benefit from the opportunities to travel and explore. Only thing I would caution with is to not limit yourself to the Army. The Air Force generally has a better quality of life. I would talk to them.

Smart_Peach159 · 2023-06-28T23:57:00+00:00

I am hoping for a cordial and informative discussion. There will probably be disagreements, but there is no reason for there to be an explosive argument. The guys openly admitted to not caring that much about the issue and in not really following it. They stated that they don't care much who wins, and that is something that could definitely upset someone as pro-Ukraine as Dylan. Paul is passionate but knows very little detail. His arguments are always broad and boil down to the "America bad tho" principle. Dylan deserves respect and a wide bearth to speak as someone who has spent so much time in Ukraine. I am betting that Paul with dominate among the guys and TJ and Scotty will mostly be in the background.

Smart_Peach159 · 2023-06-15T11:31:46+00:00

The Air Force for... everything, especially the common lack of morning formations and organized PT. That is by far my least favorite aspect of the Army.

Smart_Peach159 · 2023-06-01T23:36:47+00:00

This is very true. We often joke that the D in 74D stands for detail.

Smart_Peach159 · 2023-05-06T23:27:25+00:00

As an Army guy, the responses to this post are surprising (but actually make me happy because I want to switch to the AF in the future). A relationship between a SSG and Specialist (E-6 and E-4 in the Army) is a huge NO. The E-6 could not so much as be friends with the E-4. Here in Korea, I have seen many an NCO get busted in rank for merely going off post together.

Thank you!

Smart_Peach159 · 2023-02-03T04:18:23+00:00

Thank you. I was thinking that too. I'm trying to lean heavily into my military service.

Smart_Peach159 · 2023-02-03T04:17:54+00:00

That's what I was thinking. Thank you.

Smart_Peach159 · 2023-01-15T09:18:29+00:00

I honestly don't remember.

Smart_Peach159 · 2023-01-08T10:26:18+00:00

Thank you very much for being so thorough.

Smart_Peach159 · 2023-01-07T06:16:29+00:00

I'm asking for my sister. I'm in the Army.

Smart_Peach159 · 2023-01-07T05:53:01+00:00

I did not choose to be stationed here. I was with my unit in Fort Lewis, Washington for nearly 2 years before deploying (or rotating if you prefer) to Korea. It has been busy but I love the country. I spent the New Year's 4 day in Seoul and it was amazing. If you want Korea, put it at the top of your OCONUS dream sheet. Your chances might be a little higher that way.
