I’m in high school and want to join the military but keep it on the down low because every time I talk about it I get backlash and questioned as to why I’d want go in the army. Some outright say I’m wrong and to only go in as an officer, especially my family. I don’t even say my aspirations which is the infantry and I’d most likely want to attend RASP because they’d either shoot it down or not relate at all. Currently running, rucking, lifting, and wrestling to prepare my mind and body. Did anyone else face backlash for big dreams like this or joining the army as a whole?

There’s many stories of intercepted taliban messages and accounts from Germans, Japanese, Koreans, etc that all state how fierce Marines are or to prioritize attacking the army over Marines due to how fiercely they fight. Is this true?

When rucking is it better to maintain a moderately fast speed all the time or go in an interval of faster and slower paces? For example I heard a guy say to walk uphill and slow jog/trot downhill. For context I’m a civilian who knows nothing about anything. For additional context my long term goal way down the line is a sub 3 hour 12 mile ruck.

I understand that it’s an “evolved” volatile but what’s the logic of how/why they got dark skin and a bioluminescent glow? Atleast the old alphas had armor which would explain a logical evolution but what’s the deal with the dark skin and orange eyes, mouth, and chest?

I heard somewhere that it decreases the number of volatiles at night but I haven’t heard many people actually talking about it. Is the decrease even noticeable?

This completely crushed me because I made one mistake that auto failed me and cost me a lot of time. Additionally, all DMVs from my house are an hour plus so I had to drive all the way there just to fail. I was looking forward to driving a day after my birthday for a month. I had plans already made and the instructor said had I not made the one mistake I would’ve passed. Now I have to go to school and tell everyone that I failed because many knew I took the test. I’m mainly upset at the time issue because now I need to wait and receive rides from other people until the end of school
