  7. The "I need to vent" thread

    CVskin, maybe you could go to college and study towards a degree? Your military background will also help with future employers, as you will be shown to be a team player and can follow orders and are disciplined.

    i've actually done that after my first enlistment. i had a scholarship to Duke University. i didn't finish though, just wasn't for me

    it's also become as much a physical thing as well as mental. i no longer run or lift weights, even though the gym used to be one of the funnest things to me. i'm thinking of waiting to see how i feel after this next deployment i'm leaving for in June. as weird as it sounds being in combat environment always seems to center me.

    this is more directed at myself than anyone or anything else, but i need to vent and i guess the internet is a good place.

    this has been building up for awhile and lately it's been getting worse, and i really don't know why. it feels like i've gotten to a point in my life where i just don't care about anything anymore. it seems that i have become completely detached and dissassociative with the world and people around me. i used to love my job, infact i loved it enough to go back after leaving the first time, but it feels like i've nothing to show for it except a chest full of medals, which sure at work means respect because i have more than most, but outside of work they're just awards for killing other people. it just seems like my job has become a monotonous cycle of going to play in the sandbox and then coming home to nothing.

    my secondary life, aka home, since i seem to live two different lives depending on my souroundings of being at work or home, seems to get worse everytime i visit. i no longer identify with the people i used to call friends, my family honestly have become just other people to me with no personal sentimental attachments.

    i guess i just always thought i would have more to show at this point of my life, instead i'm divorced, no longer talk to family or friends, and even though i woul lay my life down without a moments hesitation for the men i work with, i honestly can't stand to be around any of them.

    the question of where i go from here is something i ask myself everyday, and i never have the answer.

    I haven't played it, but I watched Giant Bomb's video of them playing through it. It looks like a great story, but I don't like the gameplay. Why do I have to do every little thing he does like it's a skills game, like walk up a hill or put the car in drive?

    pretty much my only complaint, too. For the fight and such it makes sense, but opening a door or walking comes across as asinine. I agree, though, the story seems like it's going to be amazing

    today was a mandatory attendance family day. pretty stupid thing to make single guys go to

    Yeah, that is pretty stupid. Were there at least other singletons there?

    it was company wide so everyone had to go, the dumb thing was the whole day was geared towards wives, and i don't have one of those anymore
