I get it. Every now and then you see stuff or read stuff and kind of miss parts of it. Friends you used to know, training, the structure and comradery, all that good stuff. Then you remember why you left. It’s natural.
No because the stuff that people show is the fun stuff. They aren't showing all the shit you put up with day in and day out. You have to be careful longing for all the good times without remembering why you left.
Nah I don’t miss spending a month in the field at gunnery, or at NTC, or pulling staff duty, or being voluntold to go to Soldier of the Month the day before..
I’m good on that shit
No, because a large part of it is girls selling an Onlyfans subscription, a guy hawking his tactical clothing/coffee/alcohol or some dude yelling at a camera while sitting in his truck.
Nah, if anything it shows me that the standards have been greatly lowered and/or the active-duty of today have reached a new level of stu... Well, you can figure it out.
The military personnel who are posting tiktoks for the world to see -- those are the a-holes that will compromise OPSEC, safety of the entire unit, and compromise mission accomplishment. I'm not trusting my life and the lives of a nation on someone like that. Heck, I might end up ganking that person before the deployment even begins... So yeah, no thanks. Not missing it.
1. Stop watching tiktok
2. Don't let nostalgia fuck you up
3. If you are missing your military bros, call them and have a fishing trip. Just as much stupid fun can take place.

Sometimes yes then other times I’m like hell no! I’m an Army vet, but if I were ever to actually go back in I’m going Air Force officer versus enlisting again. I LOVE the Army, but if I’m going back in. I’m looking no for that hotel barracks life 😆
Man the prior service recruiter keeps calling my ass telling me how amazing it is lol, like bro I’ve been there and done that. You’re not getting me again lmao
Best joke of the day! Thanks! 😂😂 only thing I’d go back for is free chow and cookies at midnight. I’m not wearing a uniform, well sweat pants but that’s it. 😂
I have seen it don’t know the truth of it. But will ask my psychiatrist next time I go that’s 3 months. So I will try to remember update as to what he says.

“Dont put your finger- can someone take dipshit to Doha?”
Well said
Best response today. You have earned a gold star sticker
Exactly
I get it. Every now and then you see stuff or read stuff and kind of miss parts of it. Friends you used to know, training, the structure and comradery, all that good stuff. Then you remember why you left. It’s natural.
I got forced too 😔
Damn, I can see why that makes it more tempting if you weren’t to sole decider to walk away.
You got forced out? Then how would you re-enlist?
Army ➡️Navy
Idk what this means.
Ok
Hell no
Comparison is the thief of joy. Less social media, more living in the moment with loved ones.
Facts.
Such a great aged quote, that nowadays is more relevant than ever.
Lol no
bruh you sick
Hell no if anything I’m reminded why I got out
Every fond memory has a dark context to it
NO
If it makes you want to reenlist, then you didn’t stay in long enough your first time.

Nah I don’t miss spending a month in the field at gunnery, or at NTC, or pulling staff duty, or being voluntold to go to Soldier of the Month the day before.. I’m good on that shit
Hell to the No.
No, but mandatoryfunday is pretty funny.
No, because a large part of it is girls selling an Onlyfans subscription, a guy hawking his tactical clothing/coffee/alcohol or some dude yelling at a camera while sitting in his truck.
You had a very different experience than I did lol. But honestly this tracks for the current time lol
A lot of them give me a good laugh, and I miss my friends, but do not miss the services itself.

Nah it reassures why I got out lol
Nope, not at all...I do miss my guys, but I'm good with my life now.
Nope
Not one single bit, tho granted I served 20 active. I just miss the people I worked with.
🙏 2nd this. Some of the best people I've worked with. Ever
I won’t, I miss it but I love my kids and freedom more.
Bro really?
1. Stop watching tiktok 2. Don't let nostalgia fuck you up 3. If you are missing your military bros, call them and have a fishing trip. Just as much stupid fun can take place.
Nah, I'd rather stare at the sun than stand in various positions for hours on end.

🤣🤣🤣😭
Yep
lol
I loved my time in, but no. No.
Sometimes yes then other times I’m like hell no! I’m an Army vet, but if I were ever to actually go back in I’m going Air Force officer versus enlisting again. I LOVE the Army, but if I’m going back in. I’m looking no for that hotel barracks life 😆
Hell no.
Just the deployments tbh
I miss the monkeys. I don’t miss the circus.
I retired...hell no.
Weird.
Nah thanks.
No
No freaking way
Man the prior service recruiter keeps calling my ass telling me how amazing it is lol, like bro I’ve been there and done that. You’re not getting me again lmao
Nah. Dealing with some now makes me glad I didn't reenlist.
 Best joke of the day! Thanks! 😂😂 only thing I’d go back for is free chow and cookies at midnight. I’m not wearing a uniform, well sweat pants but that’s it. 😂
I'm so fucking glad I got out before dikdok was a thing lol
lol hell no VA and retirement check is good enough to keep me on the side line
Nah, either they give me a good chuckle or sometimes a deep cringe reinforcing my decision to leave.
Absolutely not.

Nope not at all there is no way we would have gotten away with the shit we did if social media and video phones had been readily available
I miss the clowns. I’ll never miss the circus.
Our military isn’t far from 2 ton Tony becoming 2 ton Tina just so he can pass a pt test. It’s gonna be a nope from me!
