Is jack the author dude?
Chuck I am familiar with. Definitely the type of person you’d want to be in a gun fight with.

Yep, Jack was a batt boy who then went to 3rd Group. I'm sure you're aware of the drama going on right now between the two.

I am not, I’ll look into it. Jack was in 5th group, chuck was 3rd. Jack wrote an article awhile back that was super annoying, I think he’s not well liked in SOF.

 

[Mike Hagger]

Oh yeah yeah I know that story.. ridiculous. I forgot about that happening to chuck. Jack could have done a lot more to verify his source.

X Navy here, made four WESTPAC'.S. yep, a Shellback. Have been to Nam, well......steamed about 10 miles off the coast tossing out illumionous shellings at night.

Well actually three and a half, my time was up, what a trip getting home. Took two weeks.

This retirement prep stuff is more stressful than my job. Went to TAPs in late Jan and still feel like I'm getting nothing done.

Scrambling to get civillian medical records put in my file.

Mil bros with iPhones what web browser are you using? Since the latest update Duck stopped working for me on SD and safari has so many pop-up on SD it’s unbearable.

I have used Brave but returned to DDG, which worked fine before the forum upgrade. Thanks for the recommendation; Brave works much better than Safari.

Hang tough brother and keep the faith. It's gonna be some rough road, but this too shall pass.

I think one of the oddest lessons I've learned recently was one I should have seen coming a mile away. (Retired July 2023)

I've often said that I loved what I did in the Air Force. I loved my job, I had opportunities to see and do some incredible things.
But I've also said that I didn't care for 75-80% people I worked with. Just not a fan of certain mentalities and mindsets that seem to prevail in the military.

So why didn't I see it coming that I absolutely, positively, and unequivocally cannot stand a good majority of fellow veterans? From being cussed out for informing them that their congressman(a former army doctor) voted against them when he voted against the PACT act; to being called a "weak pussy"(seriously) for joining the Air Force. And even being told the Air Force doesn't work people hard enough to be "that broken", despite having burn pit related cancer. Yeah.

Why am I shocked? I know I shouldn't be.

Bro who do you hang out with that says shit like that to you!?! I am over 20yrs but when I retire, I want nothing to do with the military, at all. My identity has been tied to my job for too long, looking forward to selling real estate or doing wood working!

I don't think I want to even set foot on a boat for a year or two following. Maybe a charter fishing boat as im occupied fishing, but no way am I buying one, as boats=work when I get underway.
