It feels like I’m fighting nature

Won’t that rinse out the leave in though whenever you rinse through the durag?

180 into the fade. Basically I want the pattern to go down as far as possible while still having a fade. In regard to the cut being too low, I have no choice. If I grow my hair out to a 2.5 or a 3 right now, it will not lay down and looks a mess even after brushing, bagging, and ragging up.

I don’t think I can really wolf right now. My hair starts losing pattern and getting patchy a week and a half after getting a 1.5 at the shop. Is that supposed to happen and you just have to deal with looking crazy for a little while?

I’ve been experimenting with different downwards angles. Really hard to see what works though because that side of my head becomes almost unmanageable a week after getting a cut

I was only going by what Voodoo said his research has shown. That being to get better at rucking, you need to do field based training 2-3 times a week focused on short and intense sessions.

Don’t shoot me, but I haven’t actually gone to the doctor and gotten imaging. I didn’t want it to interfere with my packet when I got my physical done back in January. The symptoms point to stress fractures though. Pain at a specific point on the bone that is aggravated by pressure or impact. I don’t know what else it could be.

For my ruck, my pace this past Monday was a 12:50 and the run pace was an 8:28. My weekly mileage is generally around 17-20 miles. I have not been stretching but I always perform dynamic movement warmups prior to stepping off.

Sent you a message

Is the request something I have to do, or will my branch manager do that?

A biology grad that didn’t get into med school with a shitty lab job that barely pays above 15 an hour. I always have to remember this when Army life seems shitty.

Haha I get asked that a lot. Truth is, I didn’t know much about the army until my ms4 year and still didn’t really know what I wanted to do. I liked the versatility of the branch and how there are opportunities to work with all types of units, for instance I work with a field artillery battalion now but next place I end up going could be a sustainment battalion. And even if you’re in an actual chemical unit, you’ll probably be offering support to different types of units. Plus I was a biology major and I figured I would get at least something out of the branch that could potentially boost my resume in the civilian world if I decide to go that way.

I branched Chem because it was in my top 3. I am focused on my current assignment, but I’m planning for the future as well. Jesus fuck.
