Basic. A two man laundry detail was formed up and an officer approaching from the opposite direction walks by. Dude on the left has both hands full, dude on the right has both hands empty. Right Recruit, instead of saluting for the both of them and keeping it moving, decides to salute with his right hand and salute for his wingman with his left as well. Unfortunately for Right Recruit, he just happens to do this in front of a bunch of MTIs forming their flights up to enter the chow hall, go places, etc. Hilarity ensues.
Canadian Armed Forces. Infantry Reserves.
My favorite show is Archer so I'm here dreaming about Intelligence and being a spy. I need school though, I miss it.
I've been reading more to cut down on screen time. There's a book on Fear written by a soldier or maybe Navy Seal I've been meaning to check out. I'm enjoying the workouts, what's the point in joining if I can't do that.
I've been watching videos of Armed forces in Afghanistan but they said nothing can prepare you for the front lines.
Its blowing my mind how chill people are or how much fun you have but I think that's the point: enjoy life, stop worrying.
bruh tbh fukk all that
get comfortable with yourself NOW before you let all that shyt start to dictate your lifeyou don't want to be figuring out what makes you happy, motivates you, keeps you healthy, etc after however many years in a high paced game that burns the best of people out...
understand how to find your peace. you're gonna need to learn how to do it with the absolute minimum at times. start thinking on it now is all i can say if you're walking that road

Yeah honestly this is all throwing me for a loop.
I started saying I wanted to tattoo.
I need more school. Idk if I want to tattoo anymore, or if its family influence making me think that.
I need money. Reserves pays.
I'm joining just to pay for school and get my Adult starter kit. (10k+, some credentials, discipline, etc)
But your right, idk what I'm doing with my life. I'm 29 going on 30 next year. I think I'm a just piecing myself together. I'm just using reserves to man up tbh.

if you're going reserves of all things, the only thing i'd say to focus on is just not being a fukk up
its easy to stand out in a reserve unit and all that requires is showing up, being available, and knowing how to recognize good career opportunities when they are. at your age there is *nothing* in the SF community for you except fukked up knees and anxietyi'll be straight up. you know what made me stop with all that shyt? being cold and wet at the same time. really, really cold. for a very long time.... i could do all the other crazy shyt. march forever, jump off of stupid shyt. be an amazing shot, run a team or follow. but cold/wet/hungry - no.
its not for everybody. its not fun. and the reward isn't anything other than saying you did it. give yourself some goals that will ALWAYS help yourself and stay focused on them despite everything else these a$$holes say. learn to play the game, find ways to center yourself amongst whatever stresses life will throw at you, and remember any bullshyt that *you don't create for yourself* is temporary.

Lmfao. I quit a job cause I was cold and wet one night. So i know what you mean.
Yeah I want the experience to change me and pay me that's all really.
I'll keep on track with using this to pay for school. We'll see if I want to tattoo again once I have some money in the bank.
Appreciate the advice

Two times on the wet cold and hungry bullshyt. That started for me right before we actually started real basic Training For some reason they left us out in cold for hours in formation before we boarded the buses.
I went to basic during winter so our first night in bivoac we slept the the hasty fighting postions with a poncho liner over us. We had the rwo man shelter half but the Colonel nixed it saying we wouldn't use it in Aghanistan (he was right I never used it in my military career) When I woke up for stand to I saw it freezing rained on us.
I was pissed. I became a coffee addict after being in the field and the Platoon SGT checking on us with a thermos full of coffee and didn't offer us any.
I never quit a job before but I was surprised when I was ordered to literally lie down in a fighting position during a rain storm. You'll get used to it. It's not a big deal.Lmfao. I quit a job cause I was cold and wet one night. So i know what you mean.

But being a fulltime Airborne Infantryman will be something quite different than even you're Reserve Infantry experience.
But you can get used to even that.

Had a cous tell me a story how they were in the field with some Army dudes (he AF).
He said the AF dudes got put up in a hotel and was eating surf and turf, while the Army guys was in tents eating UGRs.
Them Army dudes was salty to say the least.
a few weeks of that shyt hits different...

To be honest, PT in basic felt like HS football practice.
If you think about it, chances are you had guys form your school go D1, and you held you own in the workouts against them. That was my mindset going in. They’re not asking you to be a hero, just in shape

That's disgusting the difference in treatment. Again in a real war situation that E-2 Airman will be in for a rude awakening if he shows up on a firebase.
