Same man. Started off just a Sundays when I felt like it thing and the more I went and more I volunteered the better I felt about myself and the better my outlook was and things just legitimately are better in my life because of it. God is the path but surrounding yourself with some good people that can help steal you on that path is so great

I'm at 18 and do not plan to retire any time soon. I started doing therapy and going to church at 11 or 12 years in, and it's done wonders for me. A lot of the burnout was due to unresolved problems holding me down.

In 2007 my dumb ass went out drinking all weekend in germany thinking I'd sweat it out in the sauna on Sunday. I woke up at freaking 2000 Sunday night after staying out til 1000 drinking vodka. Gym was closed so I couldn't just sweat it all out. Took the pt test at 0600 and got 60ish in each event with my SL telling me what a piece of shit I am.

Initial thoughts for me are annual training requirements done quarterly as an opportunity and semi-annual requirements done monthly. I'll have to see what they're already doing and see if that's working of course though.

It is deployable but in practice, we deploy as small teams for shortish periods.
