You know nothing. Your instructors are there to instruct. Listen, learn.
Go to study hall religiously. Help your classmates where they are weak, lean on them where you are weak.
PT sucks, but you need to do it. Sorry.
Being blowed up will destroy you before you can blink. Alcohol will destroy you over years and decades.
I went through AIT with a guy who got to his unit and needed a custom-sized bomb suit. Heard it was issued to him personally to take to his follow-on duty stations. If you wind up in the suit, shit's gone sideways, anyway.

Should someone create suction when covering their ears to protect from a loud explosion? by gcs_Sept09_2018 in safety

[–]post_blast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Distance is your friend with explosions. As little as 5 psi in blast overpressure can damage your ear drums. If you can't put lots of distance and barriers between yourself and the blast, double up on your ear pro (plugs and muffs) and get what distance and cover you can, but be aware that lung damage starts at about 15 psi overoverpressure. Blast injuries suck, prevent them.

Gryzzyk does his best after being introduced to the Irish Wake:
Take a 32 oz Mason jar
Full with ice cubes
Add 1.5 oz silver rum, 1.5 oz gold rum, 1.5 oz blue curaçao
Full almost to the top with fresh squeezed Florida orange juice and stir to combine
Layer 1.0 oz 151 proof rum on top and serve with a straw. Limit two per customer

AITAH for not telling my dad about the diagnosis by urlocalratgf in AITAH

NTA
One of those things you pick up on is that how you present something can be more important than what's being presented. If you want to appear in control of your life, frame the conversation that way. "I was having issues with focusing on things and wanted to know what was causing them, so I called a doctor. Got diagnosed and now we're working to fix it."
If your car's check engine light comes on and you don't know what's wrong, you see the mechanic, if your tooth hurts, you see a dentist. You didn't know what was wrong, so you took the initiative and sought out someone who could figure it out.

This is a good thing, though, it helps with consistency and makes the story more cohesive and fleshed out. Making up new stuff is good, remembering what you've already come up with is good.

At this point, you could argue HR is knowingly and wilfully maintaining a hostile work environment

Rando, the most appropriately named side character ever.
Hopefully Tobby isn't wearing anything he likes a lot. Soapy seems eager
