hell yeah brother
Many moons ago, we were so hard up for people that recruiters were pushing anyone they could get their hands on through the MEPS doors. I had an E-2 with obvious mental health issues who had to have an NCO verify that he showered on a daily basis. Stop lossed.

Then there's this fucking clown.

bet you a dollar this will become a vignette in ROTC MS101 "intro to leadership" courses in a couple years
When you draw a platoon leader like Hegseth, it’s your worst nightmare. You just ride it out until he’s gone and gets replaced by someone who isn’t a complete jackass. Only a fool like Trump would put one of them in charge of the entire defense department.

surprised how easy it was to goad the administration into a wild overreaction. they're going to create the very candidate who takes them down 🤷‍♂️

folks tell your teens not to text and drive, some kid just absolutely smoked 4 mailboxes next door to me (including a 3-in-1 combo stand) and is very lucky he didn't wrap himself around a tree on his way to school

Fewer requirements.
Linda McMahon: "The states will have less requirements because more money will go in block grants to the states ... I have called for a hard reset of education because we have failed our students."

fwiw I am long on the record that the best night of sleep I ever had in my entire life was on an inflatable puss pad at McKenna MOUT site at Benning many years ago. It was 19°, I had my winter sleeping bag, and I was snug as a fucking bug. Downright cozy, tbh.
Bitch what the fuck?!

this is not an exaggeration
I think often about how we fought in Afghanistan for 20 years and most Americans don’t have the foggiest idea that a defining part of the challenge for those who served was a culture that enables the widespread systemic rape of young boys.
My infantry Bn had a really hard time parsing the gender and sexuality issues of Southern Helmand.

When people say, "you wouldn't want a 'purple haired gender studies major' in the Marines" I reply "YES we desperately needed them!" We had teams of anthropologists who published studies for us.

The hooook brings you back
I ain't tellin' you no lieeee
The hooook brings you back
On that you can relyyyyy
If I ruled the world
I’d free all my sons
Black diamonds and pearls
If I ruled the world
There is no pain
You are receding
A distant ship's smoke on the horizon
You are only coming through in waves
Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying

there is no agony quite like being a soccer fan

I wanted to balance ways, means, ends, and risk; to chart a course for the defense of this country; to think deeply about difficult problems and develop novel solutions to the most pressing issues of the day.

Did that happen? lmao, here I am with you assholes. You tell me.
What’s the lore behind choosing your career path ?

Being online for decades really prepares you for Part II. Sure it's bad, but is it Tubgirl bad? Is it GOATSE bad? Is it Lemon Party bad?
