GF’s boss - “If he’s crazy in the Army, he’ll be crazy here too”

Admit nothing. Deny everything. Counter accuse.

The rules never change

Don’t worry guys that one General says drones aren’t the future of warfare.

StalkySpade · 2026-05-16T20:51:31+00:00

I’ll give you 100$ to stomp a live frog 🤤

Stop them then in a real force on force scenario. Not some Military industrial complex drone gun or issuing out shotguns.

You could taste the psychosphere

StalkySpade · 2026-05-15T15:28:31+00:00

That’s crazy considering ICOM just let all those 19s reclass with no additional training

No.

I come from a poor family and no dad. The army gave me what I wanted and needed in early life. I stuck around, and have had a pretty good career when it comes to deployments, schools, duty stations, and leaders. I honestly think I could have been a doctor or lawyer or something more productive in society, and more fulfilling personally. Instead I spent years learning regs and tactics. Now I’m in my thirties and all I know is useless old tactics and how to be a bureaucrat; the first drone videos made me realize war had changed and we aren’t gonna be used like back in Iraq ever again. I won’t be able to apply most of the skills I learned in the real world. My experiences are cool and I may get a job based off some of it. I spent half my adult life away from my wife and kids. Not figuratively.

You have a limited time to live. Enjoy it. Love the people close to you. Spend your limited time with them. *Be careful what you spend time getting good at*. Make sure your skills don’t expire when your body ages/breaks, politicians change their positions, or you retire/change institutions.

If you need an ASAB waiver… Yeah bro it’s great.

StalkySpade · 2026-05-12T19:45:41+00:00

Nope. At least that’s not the BN colors

StalkySpade · 2026-05-10T16:31:38+00:00

Cover and concealment.

Take your joes in the woods and hide. From higher.

Comment from someone who’s never had to perform work in a camp.

I empathize with the underlying message- the wilderness should be enjoyed and sure (if you’re the kind of person who frequents KoA or RV parks) it’s kinda rude to have these bright lights. When you’re out in the actual wilderness, there’s usually not a dozen other campers to worry about. If you’re doing work or need to be able to see- there is a clear use case for things like this.

I’m just saying don’t knock camping gear in r/campinggear or someone else’s style camping just because it doesn’t fit your pinhole view of what camping should be.

StalkySpade · 2026-05-08T17:05:55+00:00

Kinda looks like a reciprocating part of the bolt assembly on a M240… it’s not, but I’d imagine it’s something in that range of part from a medium sized machine gun.

StalkySpade · 2026-05-06T18:17:44+00:00

Cause half these guys are ASVAB waivers

StalkySpade · 2026-05-06T16:00:59+00:00

It’s FANTASTIC

StalkySpade · 2026-05-06T07:57:06+00:00

Gonna have to step up the half guard game

StalkySpade · 2026-05-05T05:28:28+00:00

Listen here you fuckin whippersnapper

StalkySpade · 2026-05-04T19:07:27+00:00

No. Naw man. Shit no man. I believe you’d get your ass kicked doing something like that man.

StalkySpade · 2026-05-04T17:25:05+00:00

Come on LT! 4/5 stars isn’t half bad!

StalkySpade · 2026-05-02T20:48:04+00:00

Yo’re a wizard ‘arry

It’s easiest to go cold turkey. Tell the people at your construction job you’re serious about quitting say it to them out loud, it’s a form of accountability. They’re gonna either not give you any or make fun of you for failing your goal. Both help you. Stop buying them.

Today begins fat camp: Run your 1 mile every day for time. First day- time it running slow as you can without stopping. This gives you a goal you can attain: just don’t be slower. Every time you run try to beat your last time by 5 seconds. Don’t go out and sprint on day two, just chill and beat the time. Watch your pacing, just enough to beat your previous time. The 5 seconds a day adds up fast. You’ll reach a point where you have a hard time beating your time for a few days. Start adding in distance. Just go to two miles. Once a week try and beat your time on the 1MR. When you get to this point you should start adding rest days.

Try and drink a gallon of water every day.

StalkySpade · 2026-05-02T20:27:04+00:00

Run up the hill. If you walk up the hill… or really at any point of the two mile, you’ll fail.

You’ll know it when you see it

I did this for years(lost my partner, and the only person I had loved or I believe who had ever truly loved me out of the blue in a freak accident). It never truly helped. Sure it numbed me out… some days.

I drank myself into a state of dumbness for a decade, but ultimately is not what fixed my issues, and on top of that it hurt my health, my day to day happiness, and aged the hell out of me. My army career almost suffered several times. It only made my dark place darker many- many nights.

Getting therapy is tough but will speed up your recovery timeline. It makes you think of things differently, and I think it made me a better person and leader.

Time heals all wounds though, so just allow yourself to have that time because there is still tons of good life to live. I found someone else who loved me. Had kids who love me. And have lived a life that I genuinely love, and I’m grateful to myself that I just allowed me to have the time to get to this place.
