African expat. FN FAL enjoyer. Love me family, love me books, simple as.

I'm here to speak into the void, everything else is incidental. If I help someone along the way, cool beans. Read A Treatsy on Efficacy, learn to strip a rifle without looking, balance the metaphysical with touching grass.

@Edengarde_Q Pippa would have to be either crying or raging for authenticity, but I can see the vision

@TheBuddyCSM Prior to my last assignment, I had never considered it. But, yea, even if you don't go into that specific job you should do it. Just seeing the cultural differences between a lifer and civvies is invaluable. The culture shock is real and only gets worse the longer you stay in.

@Remilia_Nephys Doritos, pretzels, potato straws (like potato chips, but look like small fries), potato chips, Cheez Its, pop corn

@Remilia_Nephys You're a real one, Wemi. The best Overlord Idol by far

@ardan_blade Just remember what your dad would have done: blindside Comstar and take a meat tenderizer to the Capellans.

Jokes aside, prayers are a given. Hope you thread the needle

If you ever start giving in to nihilism, get yourself a puppy. Or get your wife a puppy and then yoink at need.

@infantrydort You didn't see this much pre Vietnam because they shipped everybody home together (mostly). You had a couple months of travel and demob with your buddies to talk it out.

Mid tour leave and the like, you're by yourself with all that crazy and no one to talk it out with.

The neat thing about the Tuareg is they kept up decorating their very functional weapons, much like some of the Afghans I met. This saber has been cleaned once in 80 years. It didn't need sharpening. Ask the English, French, Italians, and Russians how effective they are.

@celestiumart @Praxis_Fall It would be historically accurate, the best kind of accurate

@Ganglosaxonnne @Thedorgy It's a useful drain on Russian resources. Ukrainians attack it every so often, Russians have to restrict what material crosses and divert defensive systems that could be used elsewhere
