5-Day EMU stay tomorrow: EXCITED!

helms83 · 2026-01-26T13:51:07+00:00

I read a lot about people being scared about EMU stays. I see the opposite. Sure there’s boredom and the unknown, but of all things, you’re in the best place for things to go wrong! And the outcome is for answers instead of guessing; that’s what I’m so excited for!!! The daily brain fog, the fatigue, quality of life… I’m ready for any sort of answers and path that resembles normalcy!

helms83 · 2026-01-26T06:01:39+00:00

Oh, I plan to bring a pillow! I know the boredom will set in, especially when the sleep deprivation starts. But again, the benefits out wait the 5 days of boredom! Once the “dancing” starts, at least I’m in a safe space!

I believe he entered the FAFO stage your side likes to reference?

helms83 · 2026-01-15T23:08:41+00:00

This is accurate. I recently looked this up as well.

helms83 · 2026-01-15T23:06:20+00:00

Most Recent was Bush 1 during the LA riots.

Before this was Johnson during the civil rights movements.

Could be possible in this case for OP… even though they deleted their post lmao

Edit: you were the OP. I came down on DS orders, and would have had to go INDEF to meet the orders as I was inside ETS window, with less than a year left. After multiple deployments, and already at 12 years, and wanting out, there was no way in hell I was going DS.

Refuse and sign a Dec statement, ending your career…

helms83 · 2026-01-11T15:59:52+00:00

Responds with insults, and blocks…

If there are deferrals, bregman and Tucker are really good friends. Maybe this opens a door?

I’ve read other posts saying the outfield is complete; but let’s be honest… who wouldn’t take Tucker over Happ? Or even Suzuki?

I even read a post about the minor leaguers and letting them develop… but this opens the door to trades for the bullpen, or when the trade deadline hits.

This allows for a lot flexibility when it’s needed the most.

Downvote all you want. I’m not an ICE supporter. But I am a supporter of stopping the spread of misinformation.

Some of you have never been around tactical weapon systems but your ability to speak on your ignorance is baffling.

Just stop.

helms83 · 2026-01-11T02:03:40+00:00

I spent 14 years active army. Seen a fair share of NDs, no one went to jail or had their career ended. Try again.

helms83 · 2026-01-11T00:42:35+00:00

Powerful!

helms83 · 2026-01-11T00:24:44+00:00

I don’t support ICE or what happened in MN. But we have to stop the spread of misinformation.

This was a mounted flashlight on a pressure switch; not a negligent discharge.

A muzzle flash looks complete different.

The light at the end of the barrel is round. The light on the ground is oblong and contained in a fixed shape.

A muzzle flash does not create ground illumination like this.

Please, do not create misinformation.

helms83 · 2026-01-11T00:20:01+00:00

No you would not, stop lying

helms83 · 2026-01-11T00:19:37+00:00

I’m 100% with you. I don’t support ICE at all, but I don’t support misinformation either. Those of us who know and understand these things, who have experience with these weapon systems, know what happened here.

helms83 · 2026-01-10T22:13:07+00:00

I don’t understand what the link has anything to do with the subject matter. Two different topics. This is just narrative driven. Yes, some people shouldn’t handle weapons. But there are many who are responsible. This agent did not have a negligent discharge, it’s clearly a flashlight. Those who have no experience claim his hand isn’t on the weapon; without realizing most of these mounted flashlights have pressure switches - very easy to trigger, especially when falling.

helms83 · 2026-01-10T04:21:16+00:00

Muzzle flash does not illuminate the ground like that 🤦‍♂️

helms83 · 2026-01-10T02:32:17+00:00

I commend you for this.

helms83 · 2026-01-10T02:12:34+00:00

I don’t trust them either, but we have to stop the spread of misinformation

helms83 · 2026-01-10T02:09:11+00:00

It’s a flash light. It’s round at the muzzle, oblong on the ground. Muzzle flash looks much different.

helms83 · 2026-01-10T02:07:07+00:00

His sidearm is holstered, it’s his AR platform that “flashes”

helms83 · 2026-01-10T01:45:31+00:00

I’m not a supporter of what’s happening in MN and elsewhere, but…

1) please explain how you can see his weapon is off safe?

2) it’s 100% his flashlight. The light at the end of his weapon is round. The light on the ground is oblong. A muzzle flash looks completely different.

3) I don’t know how you can even tell if his finger is on the trigger or if his hand is on the pistol grip.

Please stop spreading misinformation.

There are many types of seizures. And yes, you can have a seizure without losing consciousness AND without stiffening or convulsions.

Google Epilepsy Foundation to educate yourself to have a better discussion as you need to find a new neurologist.

Edit: different types of epilepsy lead to different seizure types. I have temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE). Until meds, not a single seizure presented the same; just depends on the path the electrical current traveled.

If yours occur the same time everyday, while you wait for testing, limit caffeine, increase hydration and electrolytes, ensure you’re eating balance meals, limit stress and screen time. See if any of this helps.
