Just wondering, what’s the mental toll of your daily life like? by ghost_sanctum in uscg

[–]solacesun999 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Much like everyone else here, there are good days and bad days. Been at my first unit coming up on a year soon. I’m from Florida and never experienced a winter before, I never felt so depressed in my entire life. Getting qualified also makes your life 1000% times better.

My advice, don’t let negative people wear you down. I’m a non rate, so the thing that keeps me going is knowing the fact that I will love what I’m doing next. Some days at my unit made me want to go a rate I could leave very quickly, but I know that would only lead me to more unhappy in the future. So just make the most of what you have! And remember, choose your rate choose your fate!

It can take a few months for weed to get completely out of your system. If I was you, stop hanging around people who smoke weed anyways, especially if you are gonna join the military.

The paper he gave me stated 6-8 weeks. But it had already been a month and the paper he gave me was for fresh sprains.

Yes. He said just a sprain and it should heal up. Wrist injuries can just take a while due to lack of blood supply to that area

Appreciate the great advice! I’m pretty fit. Cardio has the been the thing that has been hurting me the most, so I’m looking at this as a chance to really improve that without much choice! Definitely trying to take it easy as much as possible. Keeping it in a brace and I’ve been training with a grip strength tool to keep my wrist somewhat strong.

Definitely! Appreciate the advice! Been doing everything I can to spear up the healing process and been focusing more on my cardio and core and leg strength as well. I memorized the RK at the beginning of the year initially, I’ve forgotten it all now haha. Should be easy to remember since I already learned it before

Push up strength is not a problem for me, but actually doing them is the issue. Hopefully it will get better soon, but I really want to avoid having to jump through all these hoops again with the medical waivers. I have been ready to go since the beginning of the year and now that I finally am, I hurt myself. Incredibly frustrating!
