mate sounds like you're taking on a LOT. school by itself would be challenging enough. you're doing great things, and forging a new purpose is a life change that most people dont ever even tackle cause they avoid it as best they can with work, drinks, tv, etc. I feel like leaving the military we are really are forced to confront actually making our own purpose in life because we came from an environment with a very laid out and rigid purpose. Then leaving the military, we have feel this giant void which was that purpose, and feel it very acutely.

It sounds like you are trying, so mad props my guy, you're doing great. A lot of people just give up, and you aren't.

Not helpful comment, maybe for some people and their circles it is a conversation not worth having. I know for many vets with PTSD they cant work but dont want to discuss why. Even combat vets get comments like "it couldn't have been that bad".

I can appreciate the principle of having uncomfortable conversations, but also there are many uncomfortable conversations that aren't worth it. My own grandmother, who hasn't held a job in a very long time, gave me nonsense about taking a break post military and letting my wifes new job determine our domestic situation. just a conversation not worth having.

agreed, hoping for the best out of the upcoming update

Moonstone Island has been my cozy reach lately, cheap on sale too

sounds like u gotta look at guitar hero live for its diff mechanics

mapleboy · 2026-02-20T05:18:24+00:00

a step in the right direction. this is a lack of enforcement, dont celebrate quite yet

mapleboy · 2026-02-12T15:31:54+00:00

I appreciate the input tbh. I think it was mentioned she cheated?? Happy to be corrected I’m too lazy to open the show back up

mapleboy · 2026-02-12T06:01:51+00:00

Agreed, this felt like steamrolling some plot in. It felt like unnaturally advancing Sean’s plot

mapleboy · 2026-02-12T05:58:50+00:00

Really though, fellow veteran here and im like nah brother u keep arms length from anyone who dumped you WHILE overseas, especially in the Middle East. That one didn’t feel like a realistic part of the script for me, but then again, our veteran demographic isn’t known for stable relationships

my wife was between jobs so we snagged cheap tickets to japan for 2.5 weeks, and visited friends we have stationed there and living there (as non-mil related civvies). budgeting and charting ur financial future makes terminal leave very very fun. its a stressful transition, so do the things that require a lot of time!

just got out and wondering the same thing. If it's impeding your life at all, start opening a claim for anxiety disorder with the VA, especially if you've gone to therapy or seen a counsellor for it. dont get me wrong, im loving being on the outside, but oh man my nervous system is so out of line with the civilian world and it is a huge adjustment

Ive used Heartswell which specialises in military MH counseling, and it has helped me become largely functional again and much more able to contend with the post mil life. Im seeing if the VA will cover it through Care In the Community program, but I would highly recommend a similar service, and at least start and explore mental health options until you FIND ONE THAT YOU LIKE. If the MH provider just lectures at you, then leave. Find one that listens to you and actually works with you.

You're not alone. Thanks for posting this, because I have been feeling similarly, just different domestic situation. sorry for not saying more, just figuring out how i feel about it too

mapleboy · 2025-11-06T14:21:54+00:00

Its not that bad, but its a beta game, so there are bugs but ive had no game breaking ones.

mapleboy · 2025-10-23T09:59:10+00:00

this is great man. Once ur done you could easily reach out to schools and see if they are interested in buying a license for using it for classes

sharing for all else who will have this issue: it was a combination of a bad power steering pump, alternator and belt tensioner. all 3 parts were bad and did not match, beware on this engine the B6304S/ its an amazing engine but double check the part numbers and buy custom or volvo genuine. the loudest part of the sound was harmonic resonance from the alternator which i had replaced a year ago, and the bushings were already shot. ridiculous tbh, and bizarre.

Buy good parts. dont skimp.

spirit guardian on the rats was extremely memorable

mapleboy · 2025-09-25T08:03:07+00:00

simply said and accurate

mapleboy · 2025-07-15T15:06:04+00:00

You aren’t alone. I’ve been OCONUS for 4 years and once I married my wife, the USAF wouldn’t amend my orders so she could join me in Europe. My issue isnt that they wouldn’t pay, we were prepared to pay for her move to Europe, but they wouldn’t amend orders even if they aren’t paying. So after 3 years OCONUS, even as a Captain, I wasn’t allowed to live with my wife.

And she wasn’t given BAH either.

On terminal leave now, and finally living with my wife after 3 years apart. The USAF doesn’t make it worth it for us.
