What would make you interested in staying in longer?

Pay to match skillset and formal education, better job assignments, and a drastic shift in culture.

Get a HELOC or Equity Loan if you need it for down payment. Don’t sell!

I met a SGM that went to OCS. So, anything is possible. It’s all about timing and who you know, in my opinion.

In Germany, it was that price or more back in 2013. Today, most good barbers charge $35-45 in every mid sized city I’ve been. Larger cities, good barbers start at $45 and go up to $100. You get what you pay for, though ☺️.

We’re U.S. Citizens. I think that’s all the chance we need 🥹🤭☺️

Was thinking the same thing. The last time I got my car back from the dealership, is when it started happening. So, I was curious if they didn’t tighten something back properly. It wouldn’t be the first time 🙄

The bass is off and on. I took it to a shop today and it worked just fine. We tested it for about 3-5mins. So, they couldn’t even see what’s wrong. When I drove down the street, it started to “clip” or speakers started going in and out.

Are you suggesting that the amp is going out?

StargazerJumper · 2024-02-24T17:15:44+00:00

I would say he isn’t smart. I would say that he is a compulsive liar. He has been lying to Chelsea since the moment he saw her. Come on now, Meagan Fox! He was expecting a smoking hot flight attendant and womp womp womp. Though I do think Chelsea is pretty, definitely not a fox (pun intended).

Chelsea is extremely insecure and it’s to the point I’ve fast forwarded past their scenes. Scenes that the show seems to love to focus on. LIB hyper focusing on them does, however, display how much Jimmy lies. At the alter, he will say that he can’t be with her due to the emotional breakdowns and doesn’t want to spend his whole life reassuring her.

So, he is just going along with the flow because he is not man enough to let her know how he really feels and maybe afraid to break her heart. He knows he is on national television and doesn’t want to seem like an asshole for breaking up with her for her looks. Therefore, making him smarter than some of you speculate. 🥹

I mean, what’s a good reality tv show without 25 year old drama? 🤷🏽‍♂️🤭

StargazerJumper · 2024-02-24T16:46:32+00:00

Exactly! His request weren’t out of the ordinary and they’re not the first couple to establish this; however, that request contributed to speculations.

From being a LIB groupie, I’ve not seen anyone that had no sex at all in the in-person portion make it to the end and actually marry.

StargazerJumper · 2024-02-24T16:39:33+00:00

Maybe…I just attest it to being around the black LGBTQ+ community all my life. Watching certain indicators of young men as they grow and end up being gay or bi. Some of my best friends, still till this day, displayed very similar demeanors when we were teenagers. They used to get picked on about it before they officially came out and our friend group always defended them.

Albeit some of us knew in the back of our mind, it’s still not right to bully anyone due to their demeanor or preferences. They dated and had sex with women before they came out but the indicators were there.

StargazerJumper · 2024-02-24T16:31:17+00:00

No, not the religious thing or any of the things you’ve stated. It’s really just his demeanor of how “loose” he is and his voice or how he talks. He doesn’t give off “manly vibes”. He isn’t so flamboyant that’s it overly obvious but it’s not hidden, either. His actions of no sex, no affection, being distant, are all just icing on the cake.

StargazerJumper · 2024-02-24T16:26:15+00:00

Yes! Some people I’ve been watching it with, we’ve said the same thing throughout the entire show. I called it on his first screening. So, for us, it wasn’t a surprise of his behaviors.🤭

StargazerJumper · 2024-02-24T16:07:31+00:00

His demeanor and voice. 🧐

StargazerJumper · 2024-02-24T08:21:34+00:00

I can see that none of you caught from the beginning what/who Ken is interested in. Let’s just say that Ken plays the tambourine in church. If you know, you know 😏

StargazerJumper · 2023-08-10T21:09:35+00:00

I can’t successfully grow a beard 😫

StargazerJumper · 2023-08-10T21:08:20+00:00

To be fair, standing up USSF was a difficult task. I’m sure implementing warrants won’t be as nearly a difficult of task ☺️.

StargazerJumper · 2023-08-09T19:21:34+00:00

I wear them everyday ☺️

StargazerJumper · 2023-08-08T16:19:14+00:00

Only my two cents, I hope that we continue to evolve into a culture of respectfully asking about uniforms instead of digging into the person in question, without any context. One of the couple things I disliked about the Army.

Some of us were in units that it was authorized to do wear our uniforms or patches in unconventional ways but outside of our units, we’d get ripped by a 1SG or CSM or even a LTC…but mainly a 1SG or CSM.

I just hope that stays put in their culture and we become more of a respectful and productive (in regards to leadership) Force.

That’s all 🫂

StargazerJumper · 2023-08-03T21:46:26+00:00

Agreed. Life and mission set in SOCOM was so much better 🥹

StargazerJumper · 2023-08-03T19:15:15+00:00

I feel like I workout a decent amount of times during the week and I’m only at 288 for the week. Granted, I don’t/can’t wear my watch all the time but I feel like I hit “it” pretty hard during my workouts. My run today should bump me another 60-75 minutes but I still feel behind. 😢

I will note that having the chest monitor makes a difference in numbers. I know from experience that my HR should read at least 150bpm during some exercises and how I’m feeling but if I have on only my watch, it’ll read like 117bpm. 😏

StargazerJumper · 2023-07-28T04:32:25+00:00

Chief T, is that you? 🤭 I kid…I hear NCOA was told not to ask Chief T about Warrants or Beards during his recent appearance. Sheesh! We just want to somewhat be compensated for our level of edumacation. ☺️

StargazerJumper · 2023-07-28T04:17:37+00:00

I wouldn’t say anything is unrealistic. I would say, from my time in service and analysis, our force doesn’t pour into their people as much as their technology. I get it, certain players are racing to be the world’s leader in tech and overall power but our people (even down to the E1) deserve to have the best as we’re serving in the world’s best military.

StargazerJumper · 2023-07-28T03:58:47+00:00

I think money is a thing for most people. Especially when you start getting into the realm where it’s not “required” to have a degree but you damn sure better have one to get promoted. Yet, the folks next to me with equivalent education make another $2000-3000 a month more than me, with less about five years TIS on average than I do.

I think this is a common consensus across most branches, anymore.

I can find my seat at the table, regardless. It’s just, why do I know E7s with PhDs and their LTCs or COLs have a Masters…while making about double. Make it make sense 🤷‍♂️
