On my brake from Rally Point i have noticed there are a ton of disgruntled Veterans. Blaming civilians for why they are so upset. Or my favorite is Veteran bashing from with in the community itself. I dont mean harmless rivalry i talking veterans telling other veterans they are useless and should kill themselves. Im getting sick of hearing entitled veterans saying people need to adjust to them and just accept what is going on and not be so thin skinned, and we deserve discounts. But they are the first to get pissed when a civilian says service members and veterans are entitled. They want to call a "Fire Mission". What happen to being thick skinned and not being offended easily. So basically this brake made me realize why i loved Rally Point. Because on here everyone for the most part is Professional and has civilized debates on matters. There are the ones that get out of had but the Admins do a great job of squashing it.

Ask them if they are willing to learn a new tactic to apply in this battle called life.

the crazy part CPT Pedro Meza is i thought i was ready for civilian life when i got out. It is a whole different beast and has taken me the last 3 years to figure out. I think the military should do a better job on the transition side on explaining how big of a difference it really is. They may now but they did not do that when i got out.

PO2 Corey Ferretti - The military has Yellow Ribbon to help with transition but not many soldiers take it to heart. Apply Ask not what the military can do for you, but what you can do for yourself. Best rule "Stay Flexible" boot camp rule.

PO2 Corey Ferretti - ARMY has it, I take it the NAVY does not? Then the Boot Camp Drill Sergeant rule "Stay Flexible". Me I applied wining hearts and minds (MINDS) and was careful with what I said.

Life is a giant bar were every one is drunk on themselves and can't control what they say, so as long as they stay civil the only thing the rest can do is have a good laugh.

I don't agree.

I just mean that, what PO2 Ferretti is saying is not something I have noticed around here on RP. But then again, I hang out with alot of Veterans. They do complain, the same amount as they did when they were in. It's ingrained and it's ok.

SGT (Join to see) I have not really seen much on here but when it happens (and it is rare) the admin herr are quick to nip it in the but. You are right I am to we as veterans have things ingrained into us. A friend and I were talking because we have been noticing it.

And that's cool. In fact if that is what you experience, you might as well speak up as you did.
