Highly decorated combat veteran from both Iraq and Afghanistan. Spent most of my formative years in bars along 6th Street and in strange sorority girls arms. Sobered up and found myself in Basic Training. By then, my fate was sealed. I'm a proud Non Commissioned, I hunt, I fish, I'm a sports nut and I spend my lunches in the gym instead of Whataburger.
I will fault them for selling out. I remember when PGP came out and it was quite original. This was around the same time TFM began to slip. I hung around both for a while. Now, I only stop by if I have nothing better to do.
I really feel bad for folks that have long lasting injuries from sports. I can’t imagine what it’s like to wake up and feel that way. Is there no supplement or vitamin to help ease the discomfort?
I have never understood the reason for an all-day breakfast at McDonalds, but they HAD to know it wouldn’t go over well. I can’t name ten people who get their orders right when they hit up the drive through. My dad and a good friend of mine have both ended up with Big Mac’s that had no meat on them.
Completely agree. I think her humor is pushed by a minority of people who want others to believe she is funny. Those people are very good at social media, therefore it’s seen more “front and center” than other comedians. She was a flash in the pan, but has gone downhill rapidly. I feel like her movie was a last ditch effort to gain followers.
2NOTbrokegirls is the only post grad on this site who isn’t hungover. She probably got up, biked 30 miles, banged out an article and has put in half a day of work. Meanwhile, I’m staring into my cereal wondering how anyone can be functional on Monday morning.
Taylor, I won’t stand here and put you down for having the network and captial to do these things. I don’t blame you for looking for someone to take care of you and buy you nice things. If that’s your brand of vodka, that’s cool with me.
All that said, this article makes you look superficial. You’re sincerity is as fake as a $7 bill. Maybe you should’ve written this for Forbes, not PGP. You might be a freak in the sack and you might find a rich meathead to wife you up. But the level of humble-brag in this article is enough to put me off my MRE.
You’re absolutely correct. I hope I didn’t come across as assuming my career path is better or yours is sub-par. I only wished to express a supporting argument.
In fact, your opinion DOES hold value. I know there are people who work more hours in a week than I do and vice versa. I enjoy that others can offer opposite thoughts and opinions than what I may hold.
Kels, thank you for your support. Reading a “thank you” from this community goes a long way.
To your question, to an entent, yes. But many jobs in the combat zone require 12-15 hour work days for entire duration of the deployment. I would wager a guess that, anyone who is currently in or recently separated from service(and on this site), joined after 9/11. We all watched the invasion of Afghanistan in November 2001 and the bombing of Baghdad in March 2003. Yet, we all put our name on the dotted line and said we are willing to do whatever it takes to keep America free, including giving our lives. Now, all that being said, some Commanders demand an OPTEMPO that can cause extreme mental fatigue, physical and emotional stress, and even suicide. If someone isn’t mentally prepared to work Wall Street hours, it can do more harm than good.

I’m just a master fitness trainer for the Army. I don’t know a goddamn thing.
Dan, if you’re spending two hours a night hitting the gym, you’re doing too much or taking too long of rests.
Thanks, Boone1. I have enjoyed my renewed freedom.

Or, you know, don’t get married.
Menudo with jalapenos, corn tortillas and black coffee.

Settled my divorce last month. Worth every penny.

Dude, you’re usually on the mark. We all know you meant Kendra. Have a beer and forget her.
Then he needs to shoot her with a silver bullet and put a stake in her heart, just in case.
For those that exercise and diet “how did my cheat meal turn into a cheat weekend? It’s going to take the rest of the week to reverse these two days.”

“Put forth the effort” and chill is the overwhleming tone.
I’d watch Heidi and Wendy duke it out.

If you really understood the value of branding, then you would understand exactly why she doesn’t change her name.
