Not sure what military you were in, but we were semi-rebellious, questioned everything and pushed the limits all the time. There was almost no system that could not be circumvented if it made sense to do so. We may not have had a choice what furniture was in our berthings but we were most certainly not infantilized. We pushed boundries, found solutions and took responsibility.
I have an eval that states, “__________ is an intelligent, hard charging individual characterized by a somewhat outspoken manner towards authority”. I was an E5 at that time and went on to make E6 not long thereafter.

Remember when teaching right and wrong was pretty much done by the time a child was seven or eight years old.

As far as cholesterol is concerned I have done some research of my own and I am far more afraid of the medicines prescribed for high cholesterol than I will ever be of my cholesterol. I advise anyone to be very, very, cautious about taking medicines to lower cholesterol. There was even one medicine that was advertised for a time on TV with an on screen disclaimer saying that there was no evidence that it would lower the risk of heart attack, stroke or death.

had my 30 something MD suggest these as a preventative...despite my cholesterol being normal - her logic was to avoid vascular dementia and sudden death......having seen more than my share of family and friends wither away in cancer, I asked her what the problem was with sudden death?....she could only respond that it would upset my wife - like cancer wouldn't? seriously?

...the side effects of these statins and damage to your liver are frightening

I’m an observant agnostic and find infidelity damnable.

Softhanded wusses. The ranks of law schools are full of them.
