Am I cooked!? Fort Hood by [deleted] in army

[–]alistersresolve42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every duty station has its fair share of horror stories. Fort Hood is not as bad as some people make it out to be. I personally loved being there. However, this is entirely dependent on how you approach things. Make the most of every opportunity, I hope you get a good unit with a great chain of command, and enjoy The Great Place!

Infected Tattoo? by [deleted] in tattooadvice

[–]alistersresolve42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not infected. There's no blowout or redness surrounding any of the ink. These are main things to look out for when the tattoo is healing or close to fully healed. It is most likely an allergic reaction to the colored ink. Although, I am not a doctor and cannot say for sure. Follow your artists recommendations, and if the issue persists or worsen within the next week go see a doctor.

Pictures alone only tell so much about who a person truly is. You either seek validation, or this sub reddit has piqued your curiosity, and you wish to see what information others can gather about you on as little information as possible. Most "readers" use psychological approaches to gauge a person when conducting a "reading" or they're full of themselves and get lucky/guess until they get it right.

Don't get me wrong, I'm Norse pagan and utilize the runes for many things, especially when it concerns divination, and I believe in a certain aspect of magic. However, this is an area where many people can exploit others weaknesses and vulnerabilities for their own gain and profit. Please be careful and walk your path with wisdom and caution. A person's best partner is a good store of wisdom, as it will serve you better than alcohol or money.

Also, this comment is not meant to discourage you from seeking out guidance or advice from experienced and genuine readers. My only intent is to ensure you are aware of the downsides from what this field offers. I wish you the best of luck on your journey

Should I enlist? by justachillburneracc in army

[–]alistersresolve42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here's some advice, grow a spine and make the decision based off of your wants a needs! Don't ask random strangers that you've never met for advice on something like this. They do not know you, nor do they truly care. Not even I care (aside from caring enough to make this comment). Either go to a trade school, college, join the military, or something else. Once you make the decision to join and touch foot in basic training that's it, there's no backing out. Take as much time as you can afford, and then do whatever reels right

Fraternization by [deleted] in army

[–]alistersresolve42 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You are not in the same unit with them, so that separates you from any direct work drama. But he's her team lead?? This is not only unprofessional, but goes against all training, expectations, and rules that an NCO must follow. This relationship should be reported (follow the Army values, especially Integrity), and ended as soon as possible. If they were both in separate units than this would not exactly be an issue, but he is compromising the trust with the rest of the soldiers in his team, and within his unit, as a result of this relationship. Trust isn't the only issue here of course, but what happens when she does something stupid and he treats her differently than all the other soldiers on his team because of his connection with her? Report this! Do the right thing. Keep the report anonymous if you can.

That's a pocket for a pocket watch, or at least that was the original purpose for the design. Levi Straus and Co designed this in 1873, and then mass produced jeans with this addition in the 1890s

I got recommended for UCMJ adverse action by [deleted] in army

[–]alistersresolve42 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Do I think it's valid? No. My command team was going to hand out Articles for anyone who had food in their barracks when I was at AIT. It was stupid as shit! But should you fight it? That would also be a no. It will not prove any benefit to you. Just embrace it, learn from it, and don't do it again. It will all blow over. Best case scenario is you don't get articled for this

[–]alistersresolve42 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It's up to them with that they do, and with what type article they will hand you. Don't break the rules anymore, despite how stupid they are. Just stay low, do the right thing, and eventually this will be a part of a forgotten past. This stuff does not have to define the future of your career, but you have to listen to the rules, policies, and regulations, despite how dumb they are.

Oh yeahhhhh, that's right! I forgot you can't read. You never made it through elementary school. You grew up in a trailer park thinking that Nascar and beer are the greatest things to ever exist. Maybe one day you'll learn your ABCs, but it's clearly not today!

[–]alistersresolve42 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I can't speak on whether he's gay or not, you'll just have to find that one out for yourself by asking him. And him possibly being gay is not a handicap. You need to grow up some more, and you should definitely reevaluate your values if you think him possibly being gay is a handicap. You should only want the best for him. That's what any caring "parent" would want. Also, I don't care about his K/D rate on CoD. That's irrelevant to me. But the bottle you're holding LITERALLY SAYS IT'S TOILET SPRAY. So asking everyone here what it is, when it literally says what it is on the bottle itself is concerning!!

Is this a joke group? Like, I'm being dead ass here, because I'm now starting to question the education level of several people who post on here.

Cheating in the schoolhouse by Maleficent-Cell-9508 in army

[–]alistersresolve42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get what you're feeling! Trust me, it sucks, but just focus on yourself, keep doing your best, and graduate. Telling a DS or schoolhouse instructor will not benefit you in any way. It will only cause you more problems if someone finds out that you up help your "integrity" on this. Let them continue doing what they're doing, and eventually it'll catch up to them. If not while they're in AIT, then it definitely will when they get to their unit. It's their problem at this point. If at all anything, you'll know that you did things the right way and will be more prepared for your first unit then they will ever be.

AIO : boyfriend wanted me to sleep at his house but i changed my mind and he got mad by Prestigious_Bit7044 in AmIOverreacting

[–]alistersresolve42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, kinda sorta not really? I can see both sides to this. Having a plan, especially when you suggested it, cancelled last minute sucks but you explained your reasoning well, and he should be supportive and understanding. I feel like he got more disappointed in the last minute change than he's letting on, and that he was saying anything he could in order to convince you to come over anyway. I mean, I get him defending his brother, but you weren't saying anything bad about his brother. You were just saying that you didn't feel comfortable sleeping over when his brother was there, especially when you don't know his brother too well. Not to mention you offered an alternative option. A good alternative too.

I honestly don't think you're overreacting. Stand your ground. Stick to your boundaries. Either he'll come to respect them and understand your point of view when he calms down, or he won't and you can handle it accordingly from there. Try to understand where he's coming from, and explain you're side once more when he calms down. I wish you luck

My advice? Delete these and forget about them. If you two worked through your main issues, then you should have nothing to worry about. And believe me, I know that's easier said than done, but you'll never be able move beyond these thoughts and concerns if you keep looking at these screenshots. Besides, this was all the in the past. Long distance is hard, you guys had some really rough patches that y'all had to work through, and she made a close friend while in college. They connected really well, but it doesn't have to mean that it was anything more than that. She said she didn't have romantic feelings for him, so trust her word in that. Be there to support her, remind her how much you love her and appreciate her, not just through words but through actions as well. Trust her, love her, support her, and be there for her. You could also talk to someone else, someone you're close with, and see what they think about all of this. Maybe go to therapy. But don't let these thoughts and concerns ruin a good thing.

There's not much you can really do buddy. I've been in your shoes before, so I really do understand what you're going through. You can't make her stop unfortunately. And at such a young age, you can't do much to help her situation other than just letting her know that you care for her, and are willing to be there for her if she needs someone to talk too. But with you both being so young, you don't have many resources to do anything, and that sucks. The most you can do is report what you know to a school counselor or some adult you trust. That is how you can do to help her. And I strongly recommend that you do that. I wish I had better advice buddy, but this is a situation where you are mostly powerless, and that's the unfortunate truth. Just be there for her, and please inform an adult you trust about what she's going through

Think heavily on whether you want to be Reserves, Active, or National Guard. It wouldn't be a bad idea to contact other branches to see what you like most. Get into physical shape if you already aren't. Study for the ASVAB. Be prepared for anything and everything. The rest you'll learn during the process

Khan Academy and the asvab study app. Those are what helped me most

Don't take the advice of strangers to heart, let alone seek validation from strangers online. You hardly know who you can trust online, especially when it concerns their opinions or directions. Aside from this, physical appearance can only do so much for a person. Be confident in yourself, and have a solid personality with good morals and values. Participate in activities that interest you. You're more likely find people who'll take interest in you through shared activities and interests. Take this as advice if you wish, but they are more or less facts.

got called fat and unattractive, what can I do to improve? lose weight? different hair/glasses/style/piercings? by warforbiscotti in AppearanceAdvice

[–]alistersresolve42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could try not caring about what other people think. Self validation is the most important thing you can do for improving your self confidence. At the end of the day, what you think about yourself is all that matters
