@Digital Omen where else can one go to get the same type of discipline the military provides if you are unable to get in?

First I would ask why are you unable to get in?
If it's age, then yeah nothing to be done about that
any other reason, I would look to get past that
I was 30 when I enlisted and had to power through being surrounded by 18 year olds in boot camp
I was also an out of shape skinny fat fukk who barely worked out
Came out of Great Lakes with a 6 pack and running 1.5 miles in 11:56 mins.

From what I've heard the closest equivalent would be the merchant marine, or become a Mason.
Basically organizations/fraternities (not the college kind) that aim to improve men's lives.

Concealed carry? Nah. I keep my Glock in my nightstand. Speaking of, Meatball Ron wants to get rid of the license for concealed.
I'm not rah rah about it. My steez is I'd rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it.

Quick question, because i got into guns a few years ago, but i'm trying to avoid being a gun nut and i feel like i have too many guns i don't need.
all these guntubers are sponsored by or run their own gun store so they always reccommend having a bunch of different types of guns for different things.
My question is, how many guns do you own? and do you think thats enough?
I have 4, used to have 8, but lately i've been feeling like i only need my nightstand gun.

I feel that but I would rather have a concealed carry than have a weed card.. Heard the NRA be hatin on folks with one.

NRA? who cares who/what they hate on?
I'm following FL laws. Medical weed is legal here and has no bearing on being able to carry.
However, since weed is still outlawed federally, an FL gun shop CAN (if they want) deny selling you a gat if they know you have a weed card (wink wink)
I copped my Glock before I had a weed card so no issues there
If Meatball gets his wish then all that is moot anyway

That's where I'm at with it but it all depends on your situation
I live alone in a condo. I feel I'm fine with my .40 cal in my nightstand
If you have a crib, family, backyard, etc then you may need a little more firepower
The most common recommendation I've heard is a handgun (or a couple with diff calibers) and a shotgun
I stay far away from gun nut culture. My shyt is strictly in case of emergency

I took antidepressants in the past and you need to be off of them for three years before you are eligible. By the time three years are up I will be too old to join. I am 37 years old.

A recruiter tell you that? I've been out since 2012 and back in boot camp there was a 37 year old in my division. Think he got some kind of waiver.
Recruiters are the only official source of info. Don't listen to anyone else. Laws and regs change all the time and you could be right, but confirm with a recruiter if you haven't already (also different branches have different rules. In my case I went Navy because Army/Marines was a no-go and I was too old for the Chair Force- their cut off was 28 at the time).

Breh, what has been going on all this time? I remember you saying this years ago.

I’m not tryna be fukked up, but I’m genuinely curious because I remember you saying this before.

I took antidepressants back in August-September 2021. That is what I have said repeatedly on here. It will be September 2024 three years from thar date, do you understand that?

I will be 40 years old at that point. I will not be eligible at that age.

 

[Scustin Bieburr]

Too many people are miserable because of how they THINK they should be living based what OTHER people tell them they SHOULD value.



Don't let that anxiety control your life.

I understand what you’re saying, but if that’s holding you back and if you can’t stop taking them, did you try to look for something else?

I’m asking what are you planning to do.

shyt…I’m 34, just landed a tattoo apprenticeship. This is something I should have done way earlier, but it’s never too late or futile in making positive changes in one’s life. As cliche as it sounds it is the journey, not the destination. Everything hitherto has been in preparation for this moment…and tomorrow I will be equipped with the same reason today to deal with the external world.

In my case I let fear take hold: fear of rejection, fear of failure, and the fear that I’m not good enough. This led to an extremely skewed perspective in life where I viewed things personally. That “no” I heard from everyone weighed heavily on my, it turned inward and webbed itself in my psyche. It hurt because I know I have the ability and want to better my circumstances, and when I would get the bad news - and how we always! - I would just break into a depression and felt like I would get nowhere. I would compare my situation to my parents, my grandparents, my peers and was burdened by the terrifying prospect that I am nowhere near where I should be in life.

It’s even worse when you have a family. At this point I’ve resigned to the idea I’m just better off alone. That’s not a dig at anyone else, it’s just the truth.

Honestly I think all of this comes from having a family. You have other people to care for now so of course you’ll feel old.

It’s a hard position to be in because society expects you to have a family young, but at the same time in your 30s you’re still young enough to do a lot.

 

[Studious one]

It’s not a rush but at the time you thought it was the move
Maybe you met and married a woman you thought was it
Had a child and shyt just started unraveling because of you know
Life
This shyt ain’t a straight line like people make it out to be
This shyt is peaks, valleys, mountains and asteroids
Everything could be going the way you “planned•
Then out of nowhere you get punched by Thanos teleporting ass
And have to start all over
I’m not a god fearing man but I believe in an old saying by my kinfolk have
Have a plan and watch God change it
You can be the most dedicated, selfless person who gets all the bags in early life
Then you hit 50 and a tsunami hits you
It’s all about being buoyant in the sea of everlasting
Fam just imparting wisdom he has learned
That’s the problem with people today
So quick with a response instead of listening, digesting, then executing their own thoughts

Beautifully stated

You got ink? last time I was in a shop I had an appointment but some1 came up to me and asked me what I wanted who had ZERO visible ink. You'd have to be a nut to think I'd ever get work from some1 with clean skin
