>>2205548>make you coolOh heavens, no. I absolutely agree. I’m remarkably disappointed in our leaders and our situation, however I appreciate the organization, its history and those who serve around me
>no career or skillsInterestingly, I was working in a major EMS but I wanted to go to where the most people were getting hurt the worst to make the best use of my skill set. Since then, the army has afforded me some pretty rad opportunities to work with a scope of practice I never would have had otherwise
>never had to shoot anyoneIt’s funny, actually, but I have. It doesn’t really matter if you believe me one way or the other, but each one was worth it and I’d do them again in a heartbeat.
>dresses up with guns for funYeah, LARPing is fun
Also, it’s Ryan, and I guess being a professional reenactor would be pretty fun, too
>>2205554I do other stuff /out/ too but yeah, it being a big part of my job helps. I also get to use that expertise to volunteer and teach wilderness first aid, orienteering and all sorts of stuff
