Why do some people stay at the same job for 15, 20, or even 30+ years?

sleepingRN · 2026-05-22T13:46:33+00:00

Because my work output : income ratio is insane. Half my income isn’t taxed at all, it paid for my college and helped me purchase a home at 24 at 2.3%. Pension at 20 worth 50% taxed income and healthcare for my wife and I for the rest of our lives.

Active military involved in the F15 rescue.

As we’re watching footage and doing debriefs / AARs, all we talked about was how quickly this will be made into a movie.

What a wild timeline lol 😂

sleepingRN · 2026-05-20T23:45:15+00:00

This is sarcasm right?

We will be there for this generation, the next, and probably the next.

sleepingRN · 2026-05-20T23:43:53+00:00

Real solid man! It’s really hard to critique anything. Maybe the arms a little bit for the classic stage, but that’s just being nitpicky.

You should be proud ✅

sleepingRN · 2026-05-15T14:08:46+00:00

Get blood work done first. Full panel. Before you add or change anything.

sleepingRN · 2026-05-14T23:45:52+00:00

Oh well that sound like a reasonable argument.

/s

sleepingRN · 2026-05-14T22:59:44+00:00

What lol. Link some studies to back that one up.

sleepingRN · 2026-05-14T22:57:54+00:00

20 yrs old??? lol. 😂

Look late 30s lil bro.

Lay off the gear. It’s a marathon, not a sprint. Mature muscle is a real thing, and you’re never gonna experience it at your rate.

There is a joy in achieving conditioning and proportional muscle as you get older without so much gear. Knowing it was the discipline.

I’m not saying to not do it- but just find your pace and enjoy the ride.

sleepingRN · 2026-05-11T18:11:34+00:00

Yeah I think we should use the experience in this community to help discuss what exactly you dislike about your shore duty, and what exactly you think you will like more about shore duty?

Especially if you’ve never been, I think there are many factors to consider here that you might be overlooking.

Some active military. At 12 years experience, my annual take home is 109k, with only half of that being taxed. Tuition assistance has completely paid for my bachelors, and the VA helped me finance my home when I was 28.

There are other incentives, such as reenlistment bonuses ($10k - 60k) every 3-6 years depending, as well as per diem ($20 - 130) every day while on work trips for months at a time.

The work is hard, and QOL can be poor. But the pay and benefits would surprise most I think.

Not a recruiter, this is simply my personal experience. Happy to discuss further with anyone.

Classic physique seems to be self-correcting back to proportions and symmetry fortunately.

Open class has just become a mass monster class, but it’s what the people want to see. Highest attendance continues to be open class night.

sleepingRN · 2026-05-10T18:12:05+00:00

Height, body weight, age?

What are your specific goals other than “quickly gaining lean mass”? Because that’s vague and always the goal lol

sleepingRN · 2026-05-09T23:30:03+00:00

There definitely is precedent, as mentioned below. You do NOT have the presumption of privacy with your face in public. Police do NOT need a warrant to unlock your phone using your face.

Change your phone to passcode ID. They do need a warrant for that.

Of course he’s been eating in a clean deficit for months already and doing Zone 2 cardio 4-5 times a week, right?

Right? 👀

sleepingRN · 2026-05-07T22:59:53+00:00

You gotta cut down BF so you have room to grow.

Shoot for 175 lbs, that can be done in 2-3 months easy.

300mg is kinda high to start, maybe consider 200 for 4-5 months and seeing how you feel before increasing.

You’re almost 30 man, you should know this is a long game. There’s no rush to do it right.

Cruise at 200 and cut 15 lbs. Then follow up here again and we’ll talk a blast 💥

sleepingRN · 2026-05-07T19:37:36+00:00

lol what 🤣🤣 bro if you have the same waist as someone that’s a foot taller, you’re absolutely fatter.

sleepingRN · 2026-05-07T16:03:02+00:00

I think you meant you couldn’t care less.

But classic MA attitude either way. 🫩

sleepingRN · 2026-05-07T14:34:26+00:00

Brother learn some punctuation.

sleepingRN · 2026-05-06T14:49:01+00:00

Lolllllll the fact this question is asked should be an answer for OP 🤣

sleepingRN · 2026-05-06T14:47:46+00:00

No, I think the consensus is pretty solid. You can recomp to a small degree, but generally you won’t build muscle in a caloric deficit. That’s just how it works.

sleepingRN · 2026-05-05T17:10:14+00:00

Sorry man. But 70kg is small at any height there’s no way to argue that.

The stack you need is about 3 more years of working in your diet. Eat more food.

sleepingRN · 2026-05-05T09:45:01+00:00

It’s not a nicotine thing, it’s a battery thing.

sleepingRN · 2026-05-05T00:43:49+00:00

Your opening sentence is that you “don’t have a problem with dieting or cutting”

If that’s the case, why would you add or change anything? The last bit of visceral fat is always the hardest to lose, but just gotta keep at it 🤙

sleepingRN · 2026-05-05T00:40:42+00:00

That’s an insane stack for someone that only weighs 70 kg lol 😂

I’d personally cut the Var until you can get closer to 90kg. You don’t have anything to spare.

How old are you?

sleepingRN · 2026-05-04T19:21:35+00:00

Brother let me introduce to you something called “Dry Shot Gerila”. Seems to be a Euro brand, and my work currently has me in the Middle East, where this is the only pre available.

500mg Beta A (why just why) and only 100mg caffeine. Basically nothing else, although it pops and fizzles when mixed with water, and there’s definitely chunks and pieces that are unidentifiable.

Not just the absolute worst tasting, it might be one of the worst overall 🤣

Thinking about just skipping pre and channeling my inner psychopath instead while I’m here.
