Ex-husband served, became an alcoholic, tried to kill me and fucked a dozen women during our marriage. He got a dishonorable discharge.

Hard to blame the Army for that, they decided to divorce him too.
Discharge was for malicious assault on one of his soldiers. Army didn't do shit to help keep my kids and I safe from him, even when I begged

Fireworks should be banned on Memorial Day.
WARHAMMER405
Here in Michigan the DNR has State Campgrounds with a no fireworks rule around Memorial Day & the 4th of July for veterans.
Xeans
Alternatively, Veterans day. Or both.
I wish it were limited to city or professional shows. The best I can do go to a movie theater until it closes, then use earplugs and Xanax
MarshmalineTheCampfireQueen
Now that I think about it, there were no fireworks where I live the other day. That makes me happy.
catsandcoke
Because it’s not the Fourth of July when we have fireworks. Memorial Day is when we remember dead people

JackDawesLovesmybigwhat
I didn't get married until a month before going on terminal leave. I could be a good sailor or a good husband and father, not both.
I'm sure some can do both. I figured I should go all in on one or the other.
MrTrevorBelmont
Or don’t get married after knowing someone for a few months..or less. That’s usually the biggest mistake that leads to the failed marriages
CrusherOfCities
In fairness- 12 months deployed, followed by 12 back (three of which are spend in month-long field exercises), then another 12 out... 1/2
2/2 Even a well-matched couple (especially a young one) might grow apart with schedules like that. Nothing, however, excuses cheating.
*spent
myrinea
I understand why people do it, they are incentivized by the benefits, and the lifestyle makes it very difficult to date with having to move.
That being said, marriage is a lifetime commitment, people should take the time to really get to know someone if it’s meant to be.
You're not wrong, though as you pointed out- the military basically forces you to gamble. Either get married now, or be separated next 1/2
2/2 change of station. Plus the "trial period" of living together is pretty much out the window.
That’s true, but if you take that risk because a significant other might move on if you’re apart and you’re still going to deploy...
MrJwinkyface
Heard the story of the guy who cheated on his wife and while he was deployed she sent a sexy video of her making cookies, said to be....
Boy and share with his friends, at the end of the video it cuts to her getting banged by several guy as they cum into the cookie mix
She really showed him!

Cheating on a deployed spouse is borderline treasonous in my mind. Fucking scum of the earth

what about cheating deployed soldiers? are they treadonous x 2?
BathtubToasterParty
That's shitty too but being in a foreign country thinking you could die any day and your spouse cheats on you is worse IMO
i mean we're just nitpicking about which shit smells better here
As a vet, they're equally as bad. Sometimes, the same couple is cheating on each other, which kind of cancels things out.

I say they're equally scum. I know a lot of people that only aim to hook up with people in committed relationships. They're scummy people.
Every single reply on that thread is not what the Army intended to happen. They're alternately funny and heartbreaking.
What if the intern that posted that secretly knew/hoped that what happened would happen?

Yep. There's a reason why every single veteran of the US Armed Forces gets quietly put on a terror watchlist when they get out.
Because the government knows better than anyone how badly they fucked us, and we're combat trained and disgruntled.
Even when they're not utterly destroyed by the experience it ends in some bullshit.

Am I the only one who thinks it's weird that our army has a social media account?
SophieClockwise
YVAN EHT NIOJ.
In 2019, the military has to use every tool they can to try and drive recruitment. Every military branch has a social media presence.
callmethelizardqueen
Is that weirder than the Army making video games to capture young minds?
thotadin
Or working with popular e-sports teams to make recruitment videos.

Eh, every military ever has used every means of outreach/propaganda available to them, often pioneering new ones.

shit, and I thought it was weird when my uncle made one for his dog
Cllaaaaaayyyyy
Except that’s the goal. An military needs to gauge its popular support. An excellent(malicious?) use of social media all this data is value
Neboskrebnut
I think they have much better, reliable ways to poll that info. No to mention "Ask NSA for some tips" jokes.
derppatrol
I think it's cute that you think the Army cares about things like that.
LordofSandvich
They actually do. Or else they wouldn't load Youtube with adverts...
No, they want recruits. They don't care about popular support.
That's how you get recruits.
in70x
Are you that brain washed l?
I don't know how much info you can get from Jerry Smith. He might even be Russian for all we know about twitter.
Why gauge it if they're going to ignore it?

In my case it was the other way around sadly the chick is sooo good to him but the shit he told me man......

Maybe try not leaving them alone?
Right, because soldiers have the ability to tell their chain of command "Nah I don't feel like deploying." The fuck are you on, dude
Maybe not the best career for a married man?

Too many men acting like they were innocent while deployed, when a large majority are overseas banging whatever they can get.

Good tho or nah? Jk. My wife cheated on me while I was deployed too. They all suck.
It was until I found out. I honestly didn't know what to do
Tell him.
Too late, I got outta dodge because I stuck my dick in crazy. I really didn't know what to do.
EightYearOldsDude
If you didn't know it's not your fault. The question becomes, should you try to tell him?
The real question is: Should he try to fuck her again?
Do unto those as you want done to you. Monogamy keeps STDs away and sinks fake relationships.

This is why I'm so happy our family doubled down and convinced my 18 year cousin to put off marrying his high school sweetheart until he
was done with the marines. What is about signing up for the military that motivates people to propose?
IridescentLotus
If you aren't married, it's basically like you don't exist. You don't get the calls, you don't get the info first if they get hurt or die
They tell ppl, get married or break up, one extreme or the other.

To be fair, my nephew eloped w/ his HS gf while home after basic. They have been married for 8 yrs & have a 6 yr old daughter.
BAH, family separation allowance, full medical benefits for the spouse, living together outside the USA, lower ranks can avoid the barracks
oMachetteo
Pay check gets bigger and you dont have to stay in shitty barracks with other people.
Good point. But if the relationship sours then your outlook on healthy relationships is officially fucked before you turn 22.

I'm a guy named Jody. I'm aware of the negative connotations of my name. My parents weren't. I assure you I'm no homewrecker though.

That is exactly what a homewrecker would say

There was a Jody in a VA office. Retired Marine, too. I figured he had to be a tough SOB to survive with a name like that.

Ex-husband served, became an alcoholic, tried to kill me and fucked a dozen women during our marriage. He got a dishonorable discharge.

Hard to blame the Army for that, they decided to divorce him too.

Discharge was for malicious assault on one of his soldiers. Army didn't do shit to help keep my kids and I safe from him, even when I begged

Fireworks should be banned on Memorial Day.
WARHAMMER405
Here in Michigan the DNR has State Campgrounds with a no fireworks rule around Memorial Day & the 4th of July for veterans.
Xeans
Alternatively, Veterans day. Or both.

I wish it were limited to city or professional shows. The best I can do go to a movie theater until it closes, then use earplugs and Xanax
MarshmalineTheCampfireQueen
Now that I think about it, there were no fireworks where I live the other day. That makes me happy.
catsandcoke
Because it’s not the Fourth of July when we have fireworks. Memorial Day is when we remember dead people

I didn't get married until a month before going on terminal leave. I could be a good sailor or a good husband and father, not both.
JackDawesLovesmybigwhat
I'm sure some can do both. I figured I should go all in on one or the other.
MrTrevorBelmont
Or don’t get married after knowing someone for a few months..or less. That’s usually the biggest mistake that leads to the failed marriages
CrusherOfCities
In fairness- 12 months deployed, followed by 12 back (three of which are spend in month-long field exercises), then another 12 out... 1/2
CrusherOfCities
2/2 Even a well-matched couple (especially a young one) might grow apart with schedules like that. Nothing, however, excuses cheating.
CrusherOfCities
*spent
myrinea
I understand why people do it, they are incentivized by the benefits, and the lifestyle makes it very difficult to date with having to move.
myrinea
That being said, marriage is a lifetime commitment, people should take the time to really get to know someone if it’s meant to be.
CrusherOfCities
You're not wrong, though as you pointed out- the military basically forces you to gamble. Either get married now, or be separated next 1/2
CrusherOfCities
2/2 change of station. Plus the "trial period" of living together is pretty much out the window.
myrinea
That’s true, but if you take that risk because a significant other might move on if you’re apart and you’re still going to deploy...
MrJwinkyface
Heard the story of the guy who cheated on his wife and while he was deployed she sent a sexy video of her making cookies, said to be....

That's shitty too but being in a foreign country thinking you could die any day and your spouse cheats on you is worse IMO

As a vet, they're equally as bad. Sometimes, the same couple is cheating on each other, which kind of cancels things out.

In 2019, the military has to use every tool they can to try and drive recruitment. Every military branch has a social media presence.
callmethelizardqueen
Is that weirder than the Army making video games to capture young minds?
thotadin
Or working with popular e-sports teams to make recruitment videos.

Eh, every military ever has used every means of outreach/propaganda available to them, often pioneering new ones.
bruisologist
How old are you? Everyone and everything has a social media account. Even pets have their own social media accounts lol.

Is it just me or was it not that long ago that pets having facebook accounts was weird?

Some pets have had FB accounts since 2006.

shit, and I thought it was weird when my uncle made one for his dog
Cllaaaaaayyyyy
Except that’s the goal. An military needs to gauge its popular support. An excellent(malicious?) use of social media all this data is value

I think they have much better, reliable ways to poll that info. No to mention "Ask NSA for some tips" jokes.
derppatrol
I think it's cute that you think the Army cares about things like that.

They actually do. Or else they wouldn't load Youtube with adverts...

No, they want recruits. They don't care about popular support.

That's how you get recruits.
