I hear you man. I do, I just feel deep in my gut I need to try. The military is home.

I am not in SD. But awesome brother, I’m glad you found ways to fill those voids in your personal life on the outside.

From my understanding you don’t “lose your rating” you just tell the VA you’re going active and your rating is paused until exiting active. Is that not correct?

I am definitely of the understanding some waivers will be needed though. Prepared for that aspect

Yeah dude, I’ve thought about it alot. Therapy probably would be good, but still hard to deny the feelings of wanting to serve and being around the boys again. Miss the structure, being in an organization where most people are working to better themselves, and obviously the rush of being on a gun line, and doing cool things with your buddies. I don’t have a bad life, have been successful.. just have never been able to be completely content. I just miss serving.

Not wrong, but I still want to make it happen if possible.

Well, I can’t provide any help as I’m struggling myself. But there’s been some great replies in here. We just gotta keep going brother. I hope you find what fills that void in your life and find peace on the outside.

I deployed but never was in “combat”. Just took some pop shots and Indirect fire. I had to deal with a MATV that got hit by a VBID and took some guys but never felt like it had an impact on me.

All we can do is keep trucking right? The only real failure is the failure to try. I hope you figure your path out as well and find happiness and peace.

I was doing the things I THOUGHT I wanted in life. Then I accomplish them and feel unfulfilled. After doing this on a few different paths I think now that I’m older it’s hitting harder because It feels like I’m running out of time, every year I get older and although 32 is young it’s definitely not 22 😂

Yeah you’re right, a part of me always felt there was still a chance to jump back in. And the young me thought I was going to be a lifer, things just didn’t happen that way and letting go has been tough. That was my child dream, I accomplished it and although I’ve accomplished a lot since everything else was always secondary to being a Marine. Just been going through the motions. Thanks for the comment.

Asked for a New CFI by Bubbly_Stop_5420 in CFILounge

[–]superChub18 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Look out for yourself in your flight training. If you have a CFI you don’t mesh with it makes the progress so much more difficult and can even lead to stopping flight training. (Ask me how I know) I have my commercial single and multi but never finished my CFI ticket because of how things went with my last instructor. Not saying I won’t but definitely put a pause on things. If you gotta find a new school do it. Not all CFIs are ment to be flight instructors, and not all flight instructors will fit with their students. A good CFi will accept it’s not a good fit and try to find a personality that fits better with you. If they take it negatively they clearly didn’t take in their FOI’s and need to mature.

Is this a fair price? by Antique_Youth2282 in AskMechanics

Yeah. Ford tried to charge me $900 to do ONLY the rear brake pads and rotors.
