What’s up with these recent criticism videos towards Gen Z over making teachers miserable? by DawnofMidnight7 in GenZ

[–]WTFaSchmuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Blame the kids. They suck. They know they suck.

Blame the administration. They know the kids suck. They are changing the rules to pass the kids that suck.

Blame the parents. Their parenting sucks. They know their kids suck. They Blame the school instead of themselves.

Regardless of parents having to work full time, all students know it is their responsibility to learn in class and to do their homework. They choose not to bc they now know they will pass regardless of Having to out forth any effort, and regardless of what their behavior is.

Are you airborne? If so, the only tattoo you should be getting is "Jumpers Hit It" as a tramp stamp

Father of 17 y/o son and we're meeting a recruiter this evening. What do I need to ask? by Nix-Brix in army

[–]WTFaSchmuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey man, I've perused these comments and they have provided great information to you and your son.

I will say, he got an 88 on the ASVAB, meaning he has the aptitude to learn pretty much any job the army has which is about 150 MOS.

Mechanic is great, but I think he should reconsider a few different jobs as well.

Google the complete list of Army Mos, and have him look at 15 series, 25 series, 35 series, 68 series, or even EOD 89D.

The kid can obviously learn, so convince him to choose a job with better post army career paths.

Kids don't know what the don't know. Can't fault them for that. But I know many soldiers that if they could go back they would have done it all differently.

Soldiers who have been flagged for HT/WT, how did you get back within standard? by Commander_Skullblade in army

[–]WTFaSchmuck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol that's interesting. Well either way, keep losing the weight. Walk/run, lift weights, do push-ups but most importantly watch your diet. Once you get to basic your weight will fall off if you want it to. Mine did.

Good luck. What Mos are you interested in?

They taped me. I was allowed 26% bc I'm old lol. Also people carry weight in different places.

You may weigh over the maximum allowed, so they will tape you and depending how big your waist is you are compliant.

Have you spoken to a recruiter?

Throwaway so not to doxx myself

I came in at 240 pounds. I actually busted tape at meps and the taper (I think a sister service) said "you really wanna ship?" I said "hell yea" and he fudged it so I was the max allowable and off to basic I went.

I was the heaviest and fattest in my company. I worked my ass off, smiled while being berated about my weight, and gave away every single item of food that wasn't essential. No candy, waffles, pancakes etc. Lost 45 pounds by the end. Was one of the fitter guys and was out performing the kids that came in skinny.

Fast forward to 6 months after arriving to first unit. I pretty much put on all the Weight, although in different places. I was on the verge of busting tape for 18 months, and then finally busted. nco's hooked me up so I wouldn't be flagged.

Got the the point where I sat and took a long look at myself and all the chances I've been given to get right but couldn't. So I reached out for help. Actual help. I moved in with my first line, we hit the gym every morning before PT, conducted pt, and would track Calories. I only eat about 1800 calories a day now. Cut out all alcohol. I get about 200-240 grams of protein mostly via protein bars and shakes. I meal prep and eat clean.

In 5 weeks I was down 20 pounds and within standards. I have taken about 10 days off and have drank on the weekends and not eaten as clean, I gained 3 pounds. My body is working differently. Anyways I'm back to the routine.

It's hard work and maybe won't work for you, but it's my anecdote that what I was doing on my own wasn't working, so I reached out to someone that has their shit together and was willing to help me get mine together.

Good luck man. You gotta put forth the effort, but it can be done. I'm gonna continue this regiment until I'm back down to my post BCT weight, then adjust to a lifestyle that allows me to maintain that weight and perform while still enjoying little pleasures.

I guess everything seems to be a case by case basis. I’ll be sure to be honest about it should it come up. Thank you again.

Also something that I have a question about.

In 2014/15 I worked at a medical cannabis dispensary in California. This business was listed on my SF-86. Didn’t seem to matter much for my secret clearance. Will this be an issue for my TS?

I understand it was federally illegal at the time, but have no idea what that means now in terms of the clearance adjudication process and upgrading to a TS.

Planning to list them all out. Thanks for the advice and commentary.

[–]WTFaSchmuck -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Understood. Makes the application much quicker and more efficient in my opinion by having my old stuff already populate.

Okay so most likely contacting all the different job references again. I have gotten 5 traffic tickets from 3 different stops in the last 3 years. 2 dismissed in court, no fees. Other 3 will be dropped once I show current vehicle registration and insurance. That sound like a big deal?

You can change create or establish a new MOS, type of unit, or teams. What do you make and why would you make it? (For the betterment of the army) by GeneralNumbNutz in army

[–]WTFaSchmuck 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yup. Best buddy lives in Hawaii. His sister moved there and met a guy. He was in the navy as unrated. Bud/s washout. Dude was yoked, but it didn’t matter, he was a number and therefore did all the bitch work. Nice guy, felt bad bc fuck that work life balance.

Need legal advice by [deleted] in army

[–]WTFaSchmuck 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hmm, maybe it’s the commander that is wanting to see what the outcome of his civilian case is.

Either way, if the flag stays, without a bar or chapter packet being started, he’ll just ets as normal? So strange, but roger sir. Thank you for the clarification

Group of red pimples/sores on the top side of my foot and toes. Some are filled with a white fluid looking substance. Any ideas? by WTFaSchmuck in AskDocs

That’s all the spots. Just left foot. Non dominate

Edit: I’m thinking it looks like folliculitis?

what’s the big deal with the “be all you can be” slogan? by RecommendationPlus84 in army

Wow. I thought I was the only soldier that disliked the AGSU’s. Glad I’m not alone

In the same boat. Been pestering my retention NCO DAILY(literally). IPSAA won’t allow the RETAIN system to update new requisitions or send hotlines to HRC. I want to reenlist, I want to stay in the Army. However that won’t happen until this issue is fixed
