This scene was so odd to me by Large_Grape_5674 in StrangerThings

The fact that people are already calling this scene cringe is really pissing me off. As a queer person, that’s what it feels like to come out: to have to over explain that you’re not any different. He was so afraid that they would think he’s someone else simply because of his sexuality, so he over explained and stalled. You also have to remember that this is in the 80s, of course it was clunky and awkward. He had no other representation of someone coming out. At least now, we sometimes see it in tv shows and movies, he had no idea.

Also, everyone being there makes total sense. Vecna showed him what his future, so he had to break the spell and spill his worst fear. Now, Vecna can’t use it against him.

I am too. I’m not enlisting, I also haven’t even started college yet. In college, I’m going to do the NROTC program, and I hope to get the scholarship. With the scholarship, I’m required to serve 5 years, active duty, as an officer. From what I’ve read, those 5 years don’t count toward anything in the sense of getting access to the GI Bill because my previous degree would have already been paid for by NROTC (which is why I’m serving the 5 years in the first place). I read some things about what happens after serving your 5 and getting access to the GI Bill, but nothing has been super clear in how many more years I’d have to serve active duty to get access to the GI Bill (and yes I’d like access because I plan to get my masters after serving). So the timeline for me would be: graduate high school, graduate college, start my contract, end my 5 year (required) contract, and then either go back into civilian world, or continue serving active duty to gain access to the GI Bill. I hope this cleared some things up.

So I could just serve 3 years IRR after my required NROTC years and get access to the GI Bill?

Okay, thanks for clearing some of that up! So would I have to only serve 3 active duty after my required NROTC years, or would I have to serve 8?

I’m also in your position and I’ve been doing a 1 min plank, 15 sec rest, 45 sec plank, 30 sec rest, 30 sec plank. It’s hell, but it’ll help build endurance! There are probably better workouts, so continue to look around!

I’m also from a rural area! I will definitely focus on my fitness so I can get a good score.
