Don’t let the military be the APEX of your life.
The more you accomplish and achieve the less significant petty things like this will feel. It’s something to be proud of, but if it’s not your life’s career don’t let flaunting around your military association be the thing that defines you. As time passes do something just as worthy of being proud of. I remember at the end of Basic Training they bring in a guy that sells us T-Shirts, Sweats, Hoodies, etc… with our Company Logo and Moto on them. I personally bought ONE $15 T-shirt with all our names on it. There were kids there spending $700 to $1200 on all sorts of crap enamored with the apex of their life’s accomplishments so every member of their family could get something. We weren’t even MOS qualified yet and already they are showing their pride and association to our basic training unit we only spent two months at. I couldn't even tell you which basic training unit I was in. I'm happy enough to remember which base, and when I finished. I guess that's why I have the t-shirt.

^^^ Wow, they have vendors at Basic now?
 I look back at my time in the Army as some of the best times in my life. At the time I did not always feel that way, but my deployment to the ME for me was a life changing experience.

I'm hearing you loud and clear mike that this guy has some of the sharpest skates in the Corps. We all know someone along those lines and it drives us insane every time we see them. Hell, I haven't deployed and I've been in four years. It isn't for lack of trying or even being broken. Spend two years being attached to a non-deploying logistics and maintenance squadron then then attached to a squadron that will take two years to transition to a new aircraft. There is a very good possibility that I won't deploy because of my luck of the draw. Does that make me less of a Marine? I don't think so. I'd hope that you wouldn't think so either. That being said, I have nothing but respect for my bothers and friends who have deployed and who have been blown up, shot down and have held their friends in their arms as they died.
Dodging deployment and acting like a war hero is one thing. Just being unlucky enough to not deploy is completely another.

People are only impressed by the things you have done for a short while. Unless you can prove what you are capable of doing now, they will soon tire of the stories of how awesome you used to be. I understand how the OP feels about the POS he used to work with, but if he is really that bad then everyone around him already knows it.

I wear a WWP hoodie. ive never been wounded. and I bought it because 1) I support the guys who got wounded and my buddie swho have been supported by WWP. and 2) because I needed a sweater. yes an expensive sweater, but some of the programs my buddies have gone through aren't cheap.

Despite what the media shows they do help. I have 7 friends that use them and are provided treatment programs or other services. I'm not saying they are the best far from it. But because of them veterans are a front and center issue. The DAV and all the other organizations may spend some more money but they weren't doing much in that area. And they all have been hostile to the younger vets. Mainly their older membership. I pr now many people who have been treated as if they were a nuisance and unwelcome at vfw and al ffacilities.

Wasn't there some news that the WWP was anti-2A as well?

Is just a tshirt. The shirt doesn't make the person wearing it apart of anything. Just like when people wear basketball jerseys from their favorite team, that doesn't give anyone the impression that they are apart of the NBA.
I can see where you're coming from, but seriously, you have to let it go devil dog. If you continue to let things like that bother you, you're going to drive yourself crazy. I use to hate on Marines who would skate out on things, but that was only because misery loves company.

OP if you wish to rant that is fine, but please do it in a more calm manner on the forum. And don`t try to defeat the word filter.

My time was 50 years ago and still a brother had to remind me to let it go. I needed that reminder and I offer the same to you let it go.
Sometimes I just get wound around the axle. You would think that the time I have had I would have fixed this character defect. Welcome Home and thanks for doing what you did.
