Just found out one of my friends I swerved with just committed suicide. He and I went to Afghanistan together (2016 rakkassans).

I’ll have a sweet tea with some whiskey. I’m already in a low place right now.

BLUF: Since I forgot to do one yesterday, let's at least keep everyone safe for Sunday, HUA?

Hey y’all, I didn’t turn in all my documents for OCS as I was too late for the deadline last time. I was wondering what would be the first steps to start the application? As well, I’m not the best physically in shape does anyone have recommendations of what I have to get better in shape for OCS ? I have my ruck March at 18 mins a mile, any recommendations I can do to lower that time ? As well, any...

Just finished my Capstone for SFL-Tap after completing my first contract. Needing advice for finding jobs in the civilian workforce. Don’t feel my MOS will help me (19D) find any jobs on the corporate side, even though I have an undergrad degree in PR and marketing. Any suggestions would be helpful. SFL Tap advisors haven’t been useful and no success so far on clearance or VA websites.

I hit my seven year mark in the army soon. I'm 25, been in since I was 18 and have been stuck as a corporal for almost 2 years now and was a promotable specialist before that. Points skyrocket every other month and I just don't enjoy spending month after month waiting to get promoted. At this point I'm just tired of the army and I don't see much of a future for my career in regards of staying in....

I'm specifically looking at you, leaders.

No, your unit won't combust without you. If an organization actually cannot function without any one person, that's a unit problem, not a you problem. Refusing to actuallytake your leave sets the unit up for failure by allowing it to overrely on one person, and sets a bad example for your soldiers. We all need a chance to disconnect from the Army and...

Lots of good times and lots of bad times these past 10 years. Stuck in E5 purgatory now and after 4 years just watching the more dedicated people jump me on the DTMS list. I am really not sure how much energy I want to keep giving though I do have so much energy I wish I could give. I want to salt the earth with frustration. Maybe it is time to just move on from grunt life, finish school and be an...
