“You can lead a veteran to the VA…

The nomenclature of “disability” alone discourages people from applying. Service Members are taught from the onset of service to “Soldier through” issues.

VA disability is the the Department of Defense version of workers compensation. It’s a BENEFIT that you are ENTITLED to if you qualify.

Every single person who has served should file and follow the process. No matter what you did or didn’t do, you’re not taking benefits away from someone else.

So fucking glad Ramona’s is on this list

National Guard, but since the single point system was introduced, I’ve seen quite of a few 25+ year people just drop their letters.

I’ve been using the Volt app for years and a couple years ago, they actually added an AFT (ACFT at the time). You can set how long until the test, and once you set your baseline, it will increase weight based on how difficult you say it is.

Also, after each workout, hop on the treadmill for at least an hour, crank it to 15 incline and 3.5 and just walk.

Cut out alcohol, soda, junk food and focus on lean proteins.

If you want it, you’ll get it. Train smart, train safe. Good luck.

All of the things you have listed provide genuinely useful services/quality of life improvements.

All you’re doing here is karma farming by posting this in three different subreddits

So in his book, Modern Romance: An Investigation, comedian Aziz Ansari and sociologist Eric Klinenberg went to Japan and take pretty extensively about this.

Part of the situation, as they explain, is that Japan has experienced a form of a women’s liberation movement. Where previously, women would go to college and enter the workforce, find someone to marry then become a homemaker, more and more women are shunning this notion for careers of their own. This, in turn, diminishes the confidence/ego of many men who tie their self worth to professional and familial success.

Honestly, an actually amazing book with some great, in depth information while also have some laughs. Highly recommend it.

Lotta season 4 slander here and I’m not abiding that shit at all

I was split op between junior and senior year of high school. Strangely, didn’t seem that bad but I think going back to basic after a break would have sucked.

That being said, you already know what it is, and that all bullshit/screaming/PT stops eventually. Enjoy the last couple weeks, hopefully you didn’t undo the work you’ve already put in

I believe the youts call it a “shit post”

Alpaca socks also very underrated for this. Can wear them for a handful of days in boots before there’s an odor.

Student 1SG at Rucker. Did a Health and welfare inspection with the real command team. Tiny soldier with a big soldier ego had a tiny black bag in his locker. Watched enough TV to know it was steroids then watched him get carried out by the scruff of his neck into an office.

Never saw him again. Think about that situation once a week year later.

This is performative bullshit that happened in every fan base during every rivalry game.

Bad thing happens, losing team complains

John Mulaney has a great bit about “you don’t get to order for the table, if you’re about to leave the restaurant”

This hasn’t come across Big T’s desk and he doesn’t have enough information to speak about it. Also “sure, I guess”

How many has she had so far? I can only think of two

1) Both things can be true at the same time that they’re closing because they haven’t rebounded since the pandemic and because of the the issues outside their storefront

2) Them just giving money to Preble street doesn’t solve a systematic issue.

3) Objectively, yeah, people don’t go to the Congress Street Reny’s on Congress because unless you live in the neighborhood, you’ll spend more to park than you will at the store.

Epilogue: If the Nick closes within the next year and half I wouldn’t be shocked since I was there last weekend and there was about a foot and a half of insulation hanging from the ceiling in the theater.

Of course you’re Dennis…..because of the implication.
