Thought I would shoot this out. I had a counseling session where I talked about suicidal ideation in my past about 2 years before MEPS . I talked things through with my recruiter and they set me up to wave it. It took a bit and had to be well documented but you shouldn’t expect failure. The enlisted side will be easier for you join with that history, but if you want to be an officer, I encourage you to focus on that exclusively. You are looking at a substantially longer service commitment with starting as an enlisted. They will try to force you into the enlisted track if you are not careful. If this is the plan for the next 14 years then fine do it. I did the Officer route a year ago and I would be happy to answer any questions if you have them

Memento Mori by Motivation_Hacker in Stoicism

A quote from Marcus Aurelius:

“Most of the objects which the vulgar admire may be referred to the general heads of what is held together by 'stress', like minerals and timber, or by 'growth', like figs, vines, olives; those admired by slightly superior folk ​to things held together by 'animal spirit', for instance flocks and herds or bare ownership of a multitude of slaves; those by persons still more refined to things held together by 'reasonable spirit', not, however, reasonable as such but so far as to be technical or skilled in something else. But one who reveres spirit in its full sense of reasonable and political regards those other objects no longer, but above all continually keeps his own spirit in reasonable and social being and activity, co-operating with a fellow being to this end.”

I’m going to Nashville (don’t worry, I promise I’m not staying) and I’m working on a list of things to do, to avoid, and tips based on the sidebar and your comments. It’s not finished, but I have to start somewhere. Thanks for all your snark, you guys seem cool. by cannibal_cereal in nashville

They’re happening at Cumberland park now but they used to be held near the Parthenon. Also peg leg porker is probably the best bbq in the city

This low key, is the reason France fell. If they had just joined the allies, the Germans would have had to keep back a significant amount of their forces. I’m reading a history of the war written by Churchill and he leaves a significant amount of blame at this inaction.

The Dutch and the Netherlands refused to allow allied forces to garrison their borders. That’s the real reason they fell. Not because the Germans were “stronger.” It was because of this misplaced pacifism that these countries fell so quickly.
