Wow...that doesn't sound good. I'd hate to know if another small war's gonna spring up. Sheesh, just tell them to stick their nose outta your business...not that they'll listen, anyway. (Ernh, sorry if I sound too serious...^_^")
RYC: Sorry for the late reply, my WiFi was down. Also, I accidentally privatised your comment...blame my derp phone.
Yes, yes, I know you are right. Be myself. I've lost track of the number of times I've heard that. I do know that being myself is the best option for me but aren't there some situations and places where we need to be more controlled? That is what I'm referring to and I seem to have a little difficulty with the controlling part. Anyway, I just needed somewhere to vent out my frustration and I felt a lot better after doing so in my Dream Journal.
Oh, and don't worry, I'm always glad to hear (or read, in this case) other people's views on my entries. :3 Thanks for reading!
Have to be able to do at least 30 push ups and 36 sit ups in two minutes. That's the very minimal amount. Plus be able to run two miles in under 17:54. That's the requirements for my age bracket for the next three years. Also it's different for men and women.
But even if you can't do that they will still put you through basic training. After basic you MUST be able to do that or your out. But it's easy. I was able to to do that before I was even going to go. It's best to be able to at least do that minimum stuff before you go so you don't DIE during basic training.
I never even thought about the heat but I think you're totally right! I don't think I could handle the heat at all!!
What was the two mile set time and push up amount?
Sadly.... I kinda am. Cause I would LOVE to join the air force (helicopter pilot) or coast guard. But you have to enlist before you are 22 or 23. As far as the Army, you have to enlist before the age of 34 I wanna say, or 33. Something like that. So while I can always dream about it ill never be able to do it.
Last year I was close! I'm not in shape really at all.. But I did get to where I could run the two miles under the set time they have and could do the number of push ups and sit ups they require. I was pretty much ready to go... This is going to sound really stupid.. And pretty lame to anyone currently in the military but I saw a video of a soldiers boot melting to the pavement in either Afghanistan or Iraq and learned that it gets up to around 140 degrees.
I don't think I could handle that heat. Dressed in normal clothes let alone all the gear they have to wear. Plus it gets 10 or 15 degrees hotter inside of a tank and that's really where I wanted/want to be. So I basically backed out because of the weather. I still have a few years before I'm to old so I might still do it.. But who knows?
I hope you find contentment as well, no matter how it comes. Life is a crazy ride and we only get one trip through it. I've had some fantastic times, had a lot of emotional support and connections and some heartbreak obviously. It's a roller coaster but (for me) the older I got the dips in the coaster don't seem quite as low.
I had a great teacher in my father, always trying to find the positive in everything and show love, be good to people. Although growing up he seemed so mean at times, I couldn't get my way, hahaha
~random commenter~ Apparently, I'm missing something!!! I'm usually a wuss when it comes to horror (I still read it, though). I'm glad you're getting over this girl. You'll find someone better.
Haha yeah.. I feel ashamed for even thinking that this could be BETTER than the Walking Dead. I'm a horrible person! Lol
I think it's cool how they change the plot each season in AHS but by doing that you don't get as much of an investment in the characters.
I'm only on the third or fourth episode of the first season and have never seen any episodes before now.
And thank you... It's probably all wishful thinking and tough talk but it's a step in the right direction and the first time I've felt "strong" I guess you could say since it happened.
Oh yeah for sure. It's good that you've gotten to a pleasant place with your life and situation, a lot of people never get there. Either that, they can never just BE happy with what they have and always fight and struggle to gain more. That goes for everything, way beyond relationships. I suppose I sort of fit into that category right now, only difference is I realize it.
Same here, I'm not going to judge or think any differently about a person married or not and while I don't care if I'm ever actually "married" (because to me it's really just a piece of paper and some legal benefits) I would still like the emotional connection that comes along with that sort of bond. I don't know, life's a crazy game.
I really just hope I'm as content later in life as you seem to be.
It's so SO hard you are very correct. I'm so grateful to have met her. Lol Well, Internet met her. Unfortunately she lives in Nebraska and I live in Oklahoma... But that's ok. I'm hoping one day we meet in person because she has already had a pretty big impact on me and helped me through a lot.
Yes, Its very hard to find Nice, Caring, wonderful, respectful people out there now a days. When you do try and hold on to them as best as you can. What a nice friend you have made.
