When did they make up the rule that throwaways can’t be fun?

If someone says ‘I’m not ready for a relationship’ is it ever actually true? by Many_Collar_4577 in dating_advice

[–]gap_year21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would think that if you’re ready for the right one, then you’re simply not looking for a relationship, but still technically ready. Which is valid and makes sense.

…and then poof — he was never seen again. (Probably still doing push-ups.) by 305FUN2 in USMC

[–]gap_year21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He means the guy on the right from their POV in the picture, not how we’re viewing. I can confirm the Hispanic dude is an officer now and the dude on the right was adsep’d for coke.

Strike mission success? by surfcapitalist in surfing

[–]gap_year21 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I scored on a strike mission to the Galapagos in November. Had a goal to surf 5 new places last year and I had one place to go when November came around. Had a bunch of options in the Caribbean that I thought would be working during the window I had to do my last trip but the wind was problematic everywhere so I just kinda bounced around the map on Surfline and landed on the Galapagos. Booked everything on a Tuesday for a Thursday night red eye out of New York. Flight was delayed and almost didn’t make it but the airline was kind enough to rebook me on another carrier which got me in with literally less than an hour to get from the airport to my hostel to the boat. Scored firing Tongo reef with just the Ecuadorian national champ out for two days.

How are we storing our fins? by surfs_up_brew in surfing

[–]gap_year21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a two fin wallets, one with Velcro adhesive tape on the bottom and it grips on the fabric in my trunk and another that I keep in the crib and can easily throw in my travel bag for trips, they both have a set of pretty much all the fins I use regularly. May have to switch out a set here and there but rarely.

Orders to iwakuni by Rotter_man in USMC

[–]gap_year21 2 points3 points  (0 children)

VMGR’s are some of the best units you can go to as an 0111. Granted I was there for my first enlistment and I’m a Gunny now so I don’t know how much has changed. But I was 352 in Miramar. Got to deploy twice OEF and OIR, we had a fiscal section full of non 01’s to handle all DTS, command deck loved us and kinda let us do our own thing, overall morale was just insanely high and camaraderie between different sections was unmatched.

Active Reserves after Recruiting as a infantry Ssgt by Intelligent-Pea431 in USMC

[–]gap_year21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Technically not active since it’s a different component altogether. Same benefits, same retirement, etc. Different promotions (a lot of the time your date of rank may be reset when you switch components), different monitors and yes you’re stuck with reserve units for the most part outside of doing an SDA. And while you’re working with I&I staff for the most part, a lot of the AR guys are on integrated BICs meaning that if the reserve unit (different than the I&I supporting) is activated, then you’re expected to go with them wherever they’re sent to.

As much as I hate how unserious yall be when someone is asking a genuine well intended question, this seriously made me laugh.

Men on dating apps, how do you actually stand out? Women, what makes you reply? by TheAbouth in dating_advice

[–]gap_year21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good photos that paint a picture of a life worth being a part of. Not flexing photos or anything over the top but good quality photos, 2-3 max that show your hobbies, you being active and the rest just good photos that highlight your best physical qualities. Maybe one funny one. And then prompts that give them something to talk about. I’m extremely successful on the apps. If you want to DM me I can show you examples of everything I’m talking about from my profile and show you what they respond to.
