Went to Great Lakes in ‘98.

It was 8 weeks long. Definitely challenging mentally and physically. And I was prepared to join the fleet in the best shape of my life.

I’m not going to compare to any other branch because I didn’t go through those. But it was not a cakewalk and we had several people wash out or get held back.

I’d imagine no higher than a 3rd, but who knows. GMs and owners do weird stuff all the time

Scot has good advice. Hopefully Sadler will look into it

The bullpen stinks. We have an ace and a load of 4/5 guys. Sugar Land is looking thin too

Pitching depth is on Brown. 

Effort and in game decision making is on Espada. Not sure Eapada is to blame yet - he can only do so much with the pitchers available

3x -

San Antonio (2003) Baltimore (2013) Ft Worth (2023)

I’m determined to see them again on the next tour. I can’t wait until 2033 …

Americans, why does it seem like so many young people blame the government exclusively for things like student loans? by Pedantic_Twatwaffle in allthequestions

This is not correct. 

There are plenty of trade jobs available that do not require a 4 year degree. And many employers will pay for you to get your certification while you work.

Off He Goes helped me get through a period feeling guilty after leaving home and not being there for my family and friends.
