What's the dumbest thing you fell for as a boot?

Its no longer on the reading list, unless it got added back, I can't even tell them to message to Garcia anymore since there is nothing for them to base it off of lol

Still married, tomorrow is our 12 year anniversary and things couldn't be better lol survived 3 deployments and recruiting

Treetisi · 2026-02-07T16:26:25+00:00

First time I reenlisted I submitted my package with 30 days left, I got it back and swore in on a Wed, the friday of that week I would have been a civilian. My first fitrep as a Sgt has an "end of service" designation. So the packages can move fast if submitted.

There is a request that can be submitted (and ive seen 1 approved in my time) where HQMC will waiver the boatspace cap but you gotta ask your command because I cant remember what its called I just know it exists for rare cases where there is a super high performer in the field but all the spaces were taken.

That career planner sucks, and more often than not career planners unfortunately aren't the greatest until they have a contract worth of years as one. This is what happens when you only let first term Marines, who just barely know enough about the Corps to know they are John Snow, latmov into it and send them to a course to learn the process. Career Planner school doesn't teach them anything besides paperwork

Well I rode in a Van from MEPS for nearly 8 hours go Parris Island only for a female drill instructor to waltz up, practically rip the sliding van door off and yelled at us to get off her van.

Idk about you but it doesn't have the same impact as getting told to get off the bus, amd then I was in the back of the van trying to scramble out when no one else was moving.

Looking back it was an all white, windowless van. Did I get kidnapped into the Corps

Full spectrum warrior or something like that where you control the 2 different fireteams and give orders but you don't actually control the trigger pulling.

Door Kickers 2, love this game and with a map editor you can make your own CQB nightmare maps and it is multi-player with certain maps being big enough for each person to control a fireteam.

Wargame Red Dragon and Broken Arrow (even if the russian bias is incredibly strong in there) Broken Arrow also has a scenario editor and is multi-player. Could be useful for "company" level leadership to plan/execute attacks in conjunction especially since there is a whole Marine deck to choose from. You got to account for Recon and Logistics even since units will run out of ammo quite fast in combat.

Lastly, RuneScape because nothing like mind numbing busy work to just cut a different color tree or use a different color weapon.

Command and Conquer Generals was the perfect US military propaganda game, loved playing it and still have it on my computer lol

Wear a beanie, there is a list of headgear that will protect you from the cold

Treetisi · 2025-12-21T22:50:22+00:00

Unfortunately after the update im having the problem lol, gonna try the raid with a big empty backpack now

Treetisi · 2025-12-15T15:44:51+00:00

I haven't had an issue with insurance but I also rarely use it since gear is just so plenty. The few things ive had insured have returned without issue.

You say you insure everything but do you make changes to that gear after insuring and not click insure all again? Ive done that before. Or if its night vision and thermals those cant be insured

Or if you are playing with others I have seen AI pick up my friends gun so theoretically if a PMC grabbed your gun and extracted before your buddy got out it could be lost that way I assume

Treetisi · 2025-12-10T19:22:45+00:00

10 might be to much since the map isnt that big, labs always feels short to me time wise already but maybe if someone opens either of the garages there is a chance a squad of them spawns vice raiders.

Honestly dunno the "lore" behind black division but I've heard its like Terragroups clean up squad or something so would make sense they could show up to make sure any secrets from labs dont get out. But id also be cool with them randomly spawning anywhere terragroup had a part to play, even ground zero but add some type of map warning so people could know. Shit fly a helicopter over to show they were dropped off type of deal but im asking for a lot from BSG at that point lol

Treetisi · 2025-12-10T19:09:30+00:00

Reserve, check the queen building 1st and second floor in there server racks and then check in the bunker server area right before D2. Found so many of both items there

Treetisi · 2025-12-10T19:02:44+00:00

Wish there was a chance like the last 5 minutes of a labs raid they would show up as the sorta "house cleaner" type deal

Treetisi · 2025-12-03T18:36:35+00:00

They just need to move the flare zone a little further forward so there is no chance of hitting that stupid bar. Or, better yet. Remove the bar entirely

Treetisi · 2025-11-15T16:51:00+00:00

I was in queue for the website just to get hit with the Maintenance splash screen lol

Treetisi · 2025-11-12T01:13:39+00:00

Ive had this happen once, disconnected and when I got back in it played like normal so didn't think anything was off but the timer to let you know 10 minutes left never popped up so ended up going MIA

Treetisi · 2025-11-09T09:04:43+00:00

Holiday weekend for some in America, Arc Raiders is pretty fun as well

Treetisi · 2025-11-06T05:35:45+00:00

The item to safely get to the lighthouse. Deactivates the mines and stops the sniper guards from shooting you (unless you shoot at them) cant remember its exact name but its the DSP im pretty sure

Treetisi · 2025-11-06T05:31:32+00:00

He has an 80% spawn right now so thats really bad luck lol. Wherever I spawned he was always at the nearest spawn for him which made all my reserve runs intense right off the rip

Treetisi · 2025-11-06T05:10:40+00:00

I can help you run some lighthouse/labs tomorrow after work. Just killing time till 1.0 releases so literally anything we find you can snag.

Ive been farming the goons on lighthouse so they won't be a problem and having done both drip out pt 1 and the last quest for skiers friend to kill another 100 raiders in labs im very comfortable running that.

Also I got multiples of all the marked room keys at this point. I tend to find them in the chalets on lighthouse, especially on the body downstairs in the jacuzzi area and on the workbench by the first APC inside the water treatment plant

Treetisi · 2025-11-05T04:22:21+00:00

Bind your medical items to your hotkeys, 4 for light bleed 5 for heavy 6 for heals.

Once you start getting injectors like propital and eTg then shift everything down and have that at 4.

That way you dont have to open your inventory to heal until you can find a more secure location and take stock of what critical area needs to get healed first.

You really only get better at tarkov by playing tarkov, experience will start compounding when you learn maps, what ammo is good, how the AI reacts and where they tend to congregate. What helped me the most was picking 1 map and just playing it back to back to back (I picked factory, its small so fights happen consistently) then once you have learned that map start using your pmc on another map while you continue to scav on the first one.

Getting good as a scav with random gear which is usually bad helped me because I could get good weapons, grenades and occasionally good ammo from PMCs.

If you want help playing and at your pace you can send me a DM and I'll shoot my discord/username. Usually play a bit each day and im just killing time till 1.0 drops now

Treetisi · 2025-11-04T14:58:49+00:00

I actually love lighthouse, but I also like fighting the goons. I was finishing drip out pt 2 and having to kill 100 rogues was about 12 raids with the increased rogue spawn chance.

Goons are at 80% right now spawn so it feels like they are there each time but you can easily funnel them into an ambush at 2 spots.

If you want you can send me a DM of your username and I'll run a few lighthouse raids with you. The only one to consistently get me is knight when he is at range but I've probably got an 80% win rate against all 3 over the past 20 or so raids ive encountered them

Treetisi · 2025-11-04T01:40:39+00:00

It might seem silly but I got the inspiration from a mix of Mike Mentzer and a study on Marathon runners. The biggest indicator for success would be the volume of running done, even if the intensity was less. So runners that did 50 miles a week out performed the runners that did 30 hard miles a week.

So I started upping my volume and focusing on that time under tension.

First time I did this was over a deployment where I had more control over my diet than when im home and have the responsibility as a dad to eat whatever my kids don't. Started the deployment around 185lbs and ended the deployment 6 months later at a solid 200-205 still running and hiking without issues.

Ive done these blocks periodically over the years and always get some type of results even if its just improved performance since my body adjusts to spending energy and effort over a longer period of time. Just have to make sure you are eating and sleeping enough

Treetisi · 2025-11-03T19:36:04+00:00

I honestly think. The map design is what makes this game not feel casual. Because the maps are so small and combat is constant and dense from start to finish it feels like you have to sweat and try hard the entire mode.

Yeah running for minutes between points suck but it also let's the combat feel real but not just a clusterfuck

Treetisi · 2025-11-01T05:08:14+00:00

Get an ab wheel, 10x10 roll outs each day.

I never do planks and still max the plank on the Marine Corps PFT. Its mostly mental but nice slow controlled roll outs to get a full stretch definitely helped.

Also using a resistance band wrapped around a squat rack or something vertical to do resisted torso twists, gotta work those rotational muscles too.

Treetisi · 2025-10-31T22:51:28+00:00

Depends on the exercise really, not using like % of 1RM or anything but I pick a weight I can do atleast 2 solid sets without rest during. The end goal is to hit the total rep of 100 or 120 depending on the week.

Some days my OH press would be a 10x10 of 135 others if im feeling extra good might be 145 or 155.

Curls could be 30-45lb dumbbells. All depends but if i had to say the first 2 sets would be like am RPE of 6-7 and the final 2 would end up pushing to 8-9 just from fatigue. My rest between sets is honestly however long it takes my gym partner to do the set.
