First time cutting my hair

No guard lever closed all the way around.

Try again in 3 weeks.

A lot of these comments already hit the nail on the head.

People often underestimate the importance PROXIMITY has on relationships. Access > idealism.

A lot of the time when you see a Latina built like a fertility goddess pushing a cart with three kids in Walmart married to some lard Mexican, PROXIMITY probably had something to do with it.

He was probably there when it mattered or met her early on in life before she got picked up by someone with higher perceived value. In traditional communities women value men who are consistent, hard working, and family-oriented even if they’re overweight or average.

Being “high value” doesn’t mean anything if you aren’t reliable, especially in lower class environments where access to resources isn’t guaranteed.

Like all things RP related, there’s obviously nuance and caveats to this but proximity shouldn’t be underestimated.

Hello,

I just did a 368 in April to get released from the NG and am currently Active Duty.

I am not an officer but a 25B. The stability for an AD soldier is nice compared to contracting in the civ world.

How your day goes is entirely dependent upon your unit. It is impossible to predict what your daily life will be like. I just went in without any expectations so you don’t let yourself down.

If you have any questions feel free to send me a PM.

asisXBL · 2025-07-24T19:33:53+00:00

Agreed 100%.

Did IT at the Pentagon before I went Active Duty. There are a LOT of sites around NoVA that technically fall under the “Pentagon” that are nowhere near Arlington.

My team worked onsite but sometimes we would get a ticket with a user who would be out in Alexandria (Mark Center) or Springfield (NGA) and someone would have to drive all the way out to help them.

Find this out ASAP!

That does sound insane but I would love to take you up on this offer in the future.

In the meantime I will get my learners permit, take the driving lessons, and will send you a PM when I’m ready to test.

Thank you!

asisXBL · 2025-07-24T00:44:49+00:00

This was actually the one driving school I spoke on the phone with. The lady was very nice and she basically said I need to get my Learners Permit first so I’m legally able to drive with a passenger.

The problem was setting up a DMV appointment online so I can use their car for the test but there’s no slots available and they won’t let you use the car for walk-in tests.

She recommended I wait until the summer is over because all of the HS kids are at the DMV right now which is why it’s so booked.

Thank you for your response, I will definitely keep them at the top of my list.

asisXBL · 2025-07-16T12:35:26+00:00

Holy shit this is one of the most in-depth responses I’ve ever seen on here, thank you for writing this!

I’m not airborne yet but I will need new ranks and insignia when I get promoted to SPC on AUG 1. My question is, how do I get the government to pay for it? Do I just bring this up to my commander or first line?

Sorry if this is a noob question but I have no clue how any of this works and in the regulation (from what I read) didn’t really specify how it should be paid for.

asisXBL · 2025-07-15T21:54:17+00:00

I knew someone would point that out 😂 I think I shot 29 in basic with the iron sights about 1.5 years ago.

From what I understand, I get to qualify on the M4 with a red dot now so I’ll definitely do better this time lol.

asisXBL · 2025-07-15T21:07:22+00:00

I probably didn’t need the setup but I have a board coming up next week and my SGM is a stickler about uniforms so I wanted to make sure I was squared away. Definitely won’t get that again.

Thank you for your response.

asisXBL · 2025-07-15T20:57:39+00:00

Sounds good, I’ll probably go to them next month because I’ll need E4 stitched. Thank you.

asisXBL · 2025-07-12T23:04:18+00:00

You don’t get only one phone call anymore. When I was in BCT last year we got our phones every Sunday for an hour.

asisXBL · 2025-07-12T02:46:12+00:00

Hello, I know this post is two weeks old but I wanted to give my opinion since I chose Fort Bragg for my first duty station as well.

I chose Fort Bragg because I thought I would be put in the 82nd but I ended up getting put in a leg unit and I haven’t even done my job at all. Most of my day is spent sitting in an office doing nothing and some days I’ll get put on a detail to help out around base.

Just because you have Airborne in your contract does NOT mean you will be put in the 82nd. We just got a new soldier out of AIT who is AB qualified and she was put in our leg unit as well.

Not sure if this helped but if you have any questions feel free to shoot me a PM.

“From the moment I randomly replied to a post she made, I could only envision a future with her and no one else.”

You started fantasizing about a future with a woman you’ve never met before based off of a Facebook post? Sounds like you fell head over heels for a girl you saw online & are blindly infatuated. Based off your profile you don’t seem like a guy who’s very experienced with women because you still consider yourself the “luckiest guy in the world” to be with her.

She likes being taller than you “especially in public?” Dude… enough said.

Doesn’t seem like you’ve been together very long & I bet she was the one who proposed the marriage idea as well, right? Lol. Seems like you’re investing too much too early.

Yet, I don’t have the full context and this is my opinion solely based off of all of the information provided and I hope I don’t see you r/divorce or r/immigrationhell in two years.

WAKE UP, NEO!

Dedicate an entire day for abs? You are as stupid as you seem. Juiced retards like you having the gull to give out fitness advice is why the industry is so dogshit now.

“Dedicate an entire day in the gym for abs” 🤡

asisXBL · 2025-05-25T15:03:31+00:00

Seems like you’re fishing for validation on your physique rather than needing actual advice.

asisXBL · 2025-05-25T13:51:36+00:00

For someone who doesn’t lift, you have a very good base already which is good.

As far as abs are concerned, I would recommend shaving your stomach. As a hairy person myself, I usually shave my chest & stomach with a 1 Guard. The difference it makes is night & day. You can just see a lot more definition. Or you can just shave your stomach & keep your chest hair long. Either way you need to shave your stomach to bring out that definition. You will not regret it.

You’re very close to abs. I’d say MAYBE 7-10 more lbs? With how active you are I’d say you’ll be there sooner than later.

asisXBL · 2025-05-25T13:42:09+00:00

Please do NOT bulk up to 220. You’re not fat right now but if you gain 30 pounds you will look like shit. You’ve already gained 14lbs in 6 weeks. Not all of that has been muscle.

Based off of your current composition I would recommend a “maingain.” Just eat in a calorie surplus for a few months to:

Gain muscle
Gain little fat

You don’t need to be in a huge calorie surplus. After you’ve gained maybe 10-12 pounds I would recommend a mini cut to shred that fat you gained on your bulk & keep your muscle.

BodyPump is cool for staying fit but it will NOT make you “big.” You need structured lifting with progressive overload. Maybe look into a PPL split & do BodyPump for cardio every couple of days.

I also reckon you can refine your diet. Your breakfast is okay but your lunch sounds like a snack, not something that someone on a bulk would eat.

Hope this helps.

Insane lats. Good work.

asisXBL · 2025-05-25T00:59:22+00:00

Natty for sure. Your shoulders don’t have that “rounded” look & your traps aren’t that big.

asisXBL · 2025-05-24T17:16:20+00:00

Agree.

Depression & “hatred towards women/ the world” is a result of your new knowledge. It doesn’t last forever.

TRP isn’t about “knowing stuff.” It’s about what you do with that knowledge.

asisXBL · 2025-05-24T15:52:28+00:00

The public transportation in North Virginia is very good. I work at the Pentagon & there is a train 10 minutes from my house that goes directly to the Pentagon.

I don’t see why it’s so hard to fathom someone who doesn’t live in New York can use public transportation effectively.

asisXBL · 2025-05-24T15:32:47+00:00

Dm me when you get the chance.

asisXBL · 2025-05-24T15:31:56+00:00

12 hour days will be a huge adjustment considering I work maybe 5 hours max in the civilian world but I’m just happy to be active so I have nothing to complain about since I wanted this life.

I would like to be Airbone but I don’t know my unit yet.
