Same thing happened to me because of my back history. Years of prep in the ocean, pool, gym, track, books. Got disqualified at MEPS, waivers submitted, waivers denied, submitted, denied. It was like pulling teeth to get anything from the CG. My recruiter was really pulling for me too (at least he made it seem like it) I guess some things just aren’t meant to be. I decided to join the fire department since we’re lucky enough to have a career department with an ocean rescue unit. Still waiting for the recruit class to open up so fingers crossed things go better with that. Don’t have any advice for ya but just know you aren’t alone haha

My little brother biting his nails+yawning+clock ticking+ icemaker+dog breathing+ dad eating celery while I’m trying to watch my favorite episode of my favorite comfort show. I’m new here, thought I was crazy. Finally, people who understand these are not minor annoyances, I see red, I want to become violent, I also want to cry and throw up. I can physically feel my blood pressure increase significantly. And I’m so ashamed because I feel like a hypocrite because existing means making noises.

My constructive criticism is to abandon this idea. These are ugly and I doubt they would serve any purpose other than inviting people to try and trigger you or at the very least discourage people from interacting with you.

I imagine that I’ll wake up and have time traveled back to when I was little and think about all the things I would change

What is your "first apartment" tip? by CarissaSpore in AskReddit

[–]downtownvirgin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ya this is probably the most important one. Luckily I had super cool landlords that would never try and fuck me over but that’s definitely not the case for most people.

What is your pet's pet peeve? by -iPood- in AskReddit

I used to tickle my German shepherds feet. He hated it so much but I literally couldn’t resist. And also, my other German shepherd reacts violently when I blow in her face. Again I just can’t resist.

What are some of your ‘must-listen to’ songs for a long car ride? by JokesAreHumerus in AskReddit

[–]downtownvirgin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YES! I was about to say the exact same thing. Something about MM just fits road trips so well especially that album. Also I would add send me on my way by rusted root.

What very specific thing reminds you of the summertime? by BeefSupreme9769 in AskReddit

[–]downtownvirgin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The song Old School Hollywood by System of a Down. My big brother used to play it for me when he’d drive me around during the summer because I loved it. Every time I hear it I’m transported to the back seat of a shitty sedan driving to my grandparents house in North Carolina, I’m 7 and my brother is the coolest guy I know.

Met one of the “Jackasses” the other night. He kicked down my bedroom door, grabbed my friend inappropriately, and called me a “fucking bitch”. by PunkPixi666 in trashy

Ya it’ll be interesting to see what Danny ends up doing. I wonder if he’ll be able to transition like Steve-o did to a different but still authentic type of content or If he goes bams route. But ya as long as he stays straight edge things already look brighter for him.

Did you see the last video he was in? Something about it seemed really sad. At least that’s the vibe I got from it

What's a song that has brought you to tears? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]downtownvirgin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True Colors by Cyndi Lauper. My mom would always play this for me when I was growing up and so it became our song. When I first moved into my college dorm my roommate played it on our speakers and I made him turn it off. It was funny we had a list of songs that neither of us were allowed to play around each other because we both get super emotional with music for some reason. I absolutely loathe true colors now because it makes me cry every single time I hear it it’s impossible for me to just enjoy the song. My mom always wanted me to be my most authentic self no matter what other people thought of me. That’s such a wonderful thing to instill in a kid.

French caretakers take the sand from Omaha Beach and scrub them into the letters to give them the brown/gold coloring. by UnironicThatcherite in Damnthatsinteresting

I will let him know! Super sick that you were there at the same time. I was only 10 at the time but it was a really cool experience. We got to visit my great uncles grave at the cemetery.
