The Era of Biden

[DBTrek]

Well, when the assessments differ it's time to turn to the age-old oracle of empirical evidence.

Perpare the Octogon, Capps.
Two men enter, one comes out.

May the jock-iest man win.

What am I missing, man?

I could not get along with Grumpy in an OP for weeks on end

nobody in my unit could

in my unit, Grumpy would just get beaten to a pulp in the mess

he doesn't listen, he doesn't follow, he doesn't have self awareness, he's a dickhead

and yet even tho I can't stand Monte's politics, I just get along with him, come what may

bars

so true

like you say, men battle test their friendships

they invoke duress, to see how another man reacts to that

Grumpy just keeps failing the test, he's like a female, he doesn't mix well with the Jocks

as a degenerate gambler

I'm betting big on Monte

Jock is Scots vernacular, translated into American, it means Grunt

I'm betting big on Monte

He definitely has agility - given his background in juggling.
But he's in his 50s.
And SF is in his 30's and "well built".

Giving up two decades and significant muscle mass is no small disadvantage.
But we'll see.


"C'mon Florida, don't embarrass me!"

that's what I thought on the first day of Infantry Section Commanders Course

there were all these big guys on parade, muscle heads

over one hundred men on parade on the first day, I was like, whoa, I am out of my league here

on the last day, there were only fourteen of us left standing

none of the big guys were there, they had all fallen by the roadside on the way

Played tackle football for years without pads. Grew up in a working class Florida neighborhood. Beat the shit out of the only bully that ever tried me.

Worked manual labor for years. Remodeled a
Floor of my house, and I’ve been gardening a quarter acre by hand for years now.

A half hour ago, I accepted a fully remote job to free myself completely, and completed a tripling of my income over 10 years.

I’m on top of the world, jack. You can’t slow me down, can’t stop me.

Nah, I’ve crossed the big 4-0. My knees know it.

with a woman you can't stand

whoop dee doo

hardly the top of the world, without a good woman on your arm

who are you trying to fool, us or yourself?

I remember a buddy, Greg Phillips

he was a super athlete, captain of every sports team he had been on

it was sleep deprivation that broke him

literally on the last night of ISCC, the last night before they called endex

he just turns to me, says, man, I can't take this, I quit

I was like, no man, we're so close, don't quit now

but he just got up and walked away, told the instructors he wanted to quit

I was too tired to argue with him, but I saw after, that it was my failure, I should have stopped him
