I was rewatching JW4 recently, and while I do understand that assassins and the criminal underworld are a part of normal life in this world, watching the whole Paris sequence all the way to the end it was the equivalent to a mass terror event with hundreds of people dead on the street. Yes they were all assassins, but I really doubt regular people were all too happy of that happening, and I really doubt there wasn’t any cross fire or collateral damage with how chaotic that whole scene was. Do you think in future John wick movies they would explore the public scrutiny from all the events from past John wick movies, or have law enforcement get into the mix?

I’m currently in BMET school(military route) for roughly four months now and the one thing I am struggling on is reading and understanding circuit schematics. My instructor’s have been good, and most of the other students are a lot faster to grasp it than I am, so it’s pretty frustrating. I do ask questions a lot during lectures but when it actually comes to troubleshooting during lab it feels like I’m dyslexic at times. So far I’ve passed all my exams and labs, but I know it’s just going to get harder from now and I’m starting to get pretty stressed. How did you guys get better at this type of stuff?

I’m not really sure what I’m exactly looking for out of this post, but I have been a corpsman for about 6 plus years, and these last few days I have been reflecting on my highs and lows a lot, because I’ve been feeling pretty depressed and a bit of imposter syndrome.

I was a greenside corpsman for about 3 years in a Marine infantry unit, a place where I struggled a lot physically and mentally. It turned out I was NOT suited out to be in an infantry platoon and was targeted and bullied a lot by my senior corpsmen and marines., and after a particular incident during one live fire range where I had a nervous breakdown, they quickly booted me back to HS where I quietly worked at the clinic until I PCSed. The level of shame I had was pretty bad, and I avoided talking about it to many people who didn’t already knew about my fuck ups. Before my time was up I was able to put a c school package in for biomed tech and I’ve been doing pretty well in the course, and I’ve actually been enjoying the school alot(hopefully no one from my class is reading this lol), but whenever I’m not busy or in bed trying to sleep , my head starts drifting and there’s still a level of shame and regret of my past mistakes.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not out here bragging about how I was some high speed operator of course, but there’s definitely a part of me that feels like I’m committing fake valor whenever I put my FMF pin and ribbons on. Before I left, there was one dude that told me that I may have my FMF pin, but that I will never truly be part of the brotherhood. I initially brushed him off as being a drunken asshole, but I been reflecting a lot recently and came to realize that he wasright.

On paper my naval career has been pretty decent; I have good evals, my FMF pin, no NJPs, even waiting on a nam from my time I was working in the clinic, but in reality the situation was ALOT different and I feel like I don’t deserve any happiness or pride in myself and my military career.

All this to say, it’s really not that huge of an issue, as I have moved on and doing something that I do find interesting now, but I really wish I could go back in time and change things. Apologies if I sound like a bitch, lol
