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 anxiety
i'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.
you'll be aite
just fukk all that sf shyt
