      This is correct, if you dont make E5 in 12 yrs you are done. And if you dont make E5 in 12 yrs barring disciplinary reductions in rank during the way, you definitely do not belong in the military.

      Yep and a Pretty Good chance if you don't make E-5 after 8 you not staying. Up to the commanders discretion if he wants you to stay past 8.

      E-2 through E-4 is not automatic. It can be stopped at the company level. If your a yard-bird (untrainable soldier) you will not get promoted. I have been in units that it was up to the Platoon Sargent/Platoon leader vouched for you competencies you did not get promoted.

      Learned in middle school....never stick your hand under a table. EVER.

      When emergency personnel get stuck at red lights/traffic so they hit their siren louder and louder until they get through. I 100% get the reasoning behind it but it's the WORST sound in the world. My last apartment had terrible windows and since I lived near a hospital, I could hear it ALL of the time...

      People who complain about being bothered by things like ambulances/firetrucks/police sirens or Amber Alerts. Apparently the comfort of your ears should trump life or death situations.

      Oh.

      Already from childhood I had a feeling of anxiety from which, alas, I cannot get rid of, so wherever I travel or walk, there must always be someone with me, even if it is an animal. Here, for example, I recently made such a letter to myself www.thedogtor.net/emotional-support-animal-letter, allowing me to take my dog absolutely on any trip to the any kind of transport. I am very afraid of loneliness and I hope you understand that too. And I want to find a soul mate and be loved, but I am afraid that one day I will be rejected

      two things about this:
      #1 - I agree that chasing birds is awesome
      #2 - Why the clarification about birds that are on the ground? Have you ever seen people chasing birds in flight?

      People who chase birds can die in a fire.

      Smoking, especially smoking in public places.

      Ditto. I despise smoking so much.

      People who drag their feet
      People who sniff constantly
      People who are noisy eaters.

      When people share old new stories as if it was a current thing. I’m glad you cared so much to not read the article, but that child was found 2 years ago.

      People licking envelopes or their fingers while leafing through papers that they are going to then hand to me.

      Mine is people asking for lifting advice but then not following through with any of it.

      And lateness. I hate being late. I hate it when others are late.

      What's yours?
      LATENESS FOR SURE 😤. Also when I really need to use a machine and someones just been sitting on it for ten minutes chatting with someone next to them and not even using it.

      When you notice remains of a bag of eaten food, ex. McDonald’s bag. And you can tell they opened their car door, placed the bag on the ground, and then drove off.

      Taking pictures at every family function even a simple dinner out....hubby family whips out their phones at every get together and constantly we have to stop talking/ eating etc because someone wants to take a picture...

      Omg! This! Not everything requires a video or a picture. And, if I don't want to be in it, there is no need to hound me.
