Take victories and defeats as equals! Nothing will teach young soldiers more than making mistakes in the heat of battle that almost cost you your life. If you're still breathing, there's something to learn. Listen to it.

You're absolutely right! Especially when I first joined, I wanted to make sure I was perfect, and it was really affecting me badly.

Thank you for this comment... I still struggle with my impostor syndrome every day and it's messing with me so much to the point where I've considered therapy. I need to let go of my mistakes but it's hard sometimes!

The military teaches you so much about life and everything in general. I learned to be patient, to trust my instincts, and to let all of my mistakes roll off my body because they don't define me.

Interested in everyone’s opinions on replica luxury. I ask because, as noted in the previous thread re: Chanel’s price increases, the quality of authentic luxury bags is going way down while the price increases consistently. Specifically Chanel and LV. I’m fascinated in the online rep community and it looks like rep quality has increased exponentially (with genuine materials and 1:1 markings, stitching, hardware, etc). What’s your argument for or against replicas?

Many movies romanticize the sacrifice of one soldier and leave them as a hero, but I have always thought that I hate that. Why would someone need to lose his life to be a hero? I believe the mere fact that we put our life at risk in service is enough to be a hero
