Hey everyone, I'm counting down the days for when I get out of the army, down to ten months now. Right now trying to get into some job training on base so I can get out of my unit for three months to do civilian job training, and then after I'm done I can go ahead and take terminal leave and get the hell out, have a job set up for me when I leave, and then take a nice big vacation. Well that is after we get done with this Coronavirus bullshit, its really fucking up my chances of getting out with a job ready to go, and I might end up either reenlisting or reclassing.
Anyways, for those who think I'm getting out because I suddenly hate the military, thats bullshit, I enlisted, I did my part, decided I wanted to try something new, and I'm getting out, and the military has actually helped set me up for future success. My student loans are about to be wiped out, I have more money than I ever did, I know a lot more about savings, and the best part is I'm in much better shape and have more tattoos than I ever did.
Its not for everyone, but it can help you if you let it. But if theres any future advice I can give to anyone who's joining no matter what branch, don't go combat arms UNLESS you want to fight. Otherwise you're wasting time and training.
At the motorhome
Jem was glad it was the weekend, this week had been full of a ton of BS, from that weird ass furry who tried to force him to wear that stupid wolfs head. To Winter acting like a weirdo all week, and Ruby trying to modify his motorcycle. It had been a bit odd. So now he was in the backyard shooting targets as well as some clay pigeons. His shotgun skills surprisingly sucked for someone who grew up in the country. But what could he say, he was better with a rifle and a pistol.
"Do you mind?! I'm trying to sleep!" Winter yelled from the motorhome.
"You got plenty of sleep! Let me have my fun!" Jem said as Winter grumbled.
The truth was she hadn't slept as well as she hoped because she kept having those stupid dreams about the farmer and the countess. She had finally finished the book, and she had to admit it was actually nice despite the. gratuitous amounts of smut. She also came across a book called 50 shades of grey, but she found it so bad and poorly written that she burned it.
She wasn't even that attracted to Jem! She knew the only reason her brain made that connection to him was because he interrupted her when she got to a hot and heavy part of the book and that she wasn't actually attracted to him. For fucks sake, the man was too much of a rough neck for her. Especially since he had that Viking or barbarian vibe to him with the tattoos and the beard.
So what if he was fit? He was still an idiot!
"Some of us would rather not have a peaceful sunday interrupted by gunfire!" She said as she walked outside to see Jem loading another magazine into his Glock 19.
"And some of us find it soothing." He said as he shot at a target of Che Guevara.
"But tell you what? If you can beat me in a shooting match, I'll stop."
Winter was about to accept his challenge, but then she thought it over. And for some reason she got a really bad feeling.
"I'm going to go talk with Weiss." She grumbled as Jem looked confused.
"Huh odd, wonder why she refused? It's not like I have some mega weapon hidden away." He shrugged and went back to what he was doing.
This time shooting at a target that had Karl Marx on it.
With the others
"Weiss, have you noticed your sister seems...well..." Yang tried to think of a way to say it nice.
"Stressed?"
"Well, if you call that constipated look stressed than yeah." Ruby said having no filter.
"...I was trying to be tactful about it Ruby."
"Sorry."
"I'm sure she's just adjusting to this world, after all, she likes organization and order as you all very well know." Everyone groaned at that.
"Yeah considering how she printed out itinerary for our mission, Ugh." Nora still had no idea how she managed to get those printed out so quick.
"Look, I'm sure that once she adjusts to this place a bit more she'll-"
SLAM!
Winter slammed the door open as she immediately headed to the bathroom.
"Oh, hello Winter how are you-"
"Can't talk! Need cold shower!" She said as she headed to the bathroom.
"But Winter it-"
SLAM
"...Why would she need a cold shower?" Weiss asked as Yang and Blake felt a lightbulb go off in their heads.
"...NO way..." They said as they both looked outside.
Only to see Jem had taken his shirt off and was only dressed in a pair of american flag ranger panties as well as sunglasses, and was letting the sun's rays highlight his pale skin, which seemed to make him glow, while some would find that concerning and would require some sun tan lotion, it was almost like Winter, she was pale as hell, and her skin resembled snow. Jem however had the multiple tattoos breaking up the pale parts of the skin, so you could see muscle definition despite the sunlight reflecting off his ivory skin. It was like looking at a very pale Uruk Hai.
"Oh wow, I mean, he's not my type, but he's pretty cut." Yang said as Pyrrha came by sipping coffee.
"I prefer a more streamlined physique." She said as she remembered how Jaune looked shirtless now.
"Wait...you don't think..." Blake said as Yang got an evil grin on her face.
"Hey Weiss! I think your sister is crushing on our landlord!"
Weiss had only one thing to say.
"SHUT...THE...FUCK...UP..." Pyrrha nearly dropped her coffee when she heard that escape from Weiss's mouth.
Weiss had never dropped the F bomb before, it was actually kind of scary. Nobody had ever use Weiss use that kind of language, mostly because despite her hanging out with them, she always tried to maintain a professional attitude towards curse words and insults. I mean shit, back when they met Sun, she even used 'Rapscallion' who in their right mind who wasn't above the age of fifty even used that insult anymore?
"Hey isn't that Jem's gay friend?" Suddenly everyone was looking outside.
Only to see Alex wearing a tanktop that said "Pretty Pretty Princess" As well as a pair of neon yellow short shorts.
"Nah, he's not gay, he has a girlfriend."
"...He's wearing a t shirt that says pretty pretty princess, and he looks like the personification of the 'Traps aren't gay' meme." Yang said as Blake grumbled.
"Traps aren't gay."
Those two would never settle that argument.
"Come on! Look at the way he's quivering in delight at seeing Jem shirtless and in ranger panties!" Yang said as the camera zoomed in to Jem and Alex.
"Jemmy, I'm scared!" Alex said quivering in fear.
"For fucks sake Alex, its a .22!"
"I've never shot a gun!"
"Ugh, fine watch this."
With that, Jem took his AR-15, put the buttstock against his dick, and started to fire off multiple rounds.
BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG
Needless to say, all parties were confused as to what was going on.
Team RWBY and JNPR thought they were watching some weird ass tv show and were expecting Ashton Kutcher to pop out at any moment saying they had been Punkd. Alex was wondering why Jem had the rifle against his dick, and Winter was desperately trying to make the water colder to get the thought of Jem's body out of her head.
"...Look, .22 has no recoil, and what I just used uses 5.56, and as you can tell, the recoil of the rifle was not hurting my dick at all." Jem learned that trick from watching Angry Cops.
You know it was amazing how much a comedy channel on youtube could do to help newbies get over their fear of guns.
"Okay..." Alex said picking up the little .22 revolver.
BANG
And squeezed off his first shot.
"Tee hee." Alex gave our a girlish grin as Jem sighed.
"Okay now."
"EAT LEAD MUDDAFUCKA!" Alex said as he suddenly started to shoot like a crazy person.
And Jem...while slightly surprised at his effeminate friend, couldn't help but also be proud of him in a way.
Now if only they could get him to stop dressing so damn effeminate.
Look it wasn't that Jem had a problem with the way people dressed, as long as they weren't a total choch about it. What he did have a problem with was everytime Alex's girlfriend left them alone, people assumed they were a gay couple, and said he was obviously the top. Which to be honest, if they were gay, then yeah obviously Jem would be butch, but thats beside the point. He swore to god that Alex's girlfriend did that on purpose just to mess with him.
What made it even worse, was for some reason, Alex was really affectionate, and one time when Jem paid for his smoothie, Alex hugged his arm...again, he was certain those two had a conspiracy against him.
And...in a way he was right. Because Alex had his evil plan in his head.
"The more that Winter seems how sensitive he is to me despite me being the fact that I'm obviously doing stuff that makes him uncomfortable will help Winter show that he can tolerate a lot of bullshit, the kind of bullshit that Winter will most likely dish out due to her more strict lifestyle. However, as Jem gets used to dealing with the uncomfortable situations I put him in, he'll be more resistant to Winter's more annoying qualities, and will be willing to show his dominance, which in turn will also turn her on, because lets face it, that girl may pass herself off as a no nonsense ball breaker, but in reality all she wants is for someone to push her up against the wall, rip her clothes off and-"
"Alex! Wake up!" Jem's voice snapped him back to reality.
"Oh? What happened?"
"Your girlfriend is here to pick you up." Jem pointed over to Alex's girlfriend who was wearing a matching outfit.
"Oh! Thats right! Well, we're still doing leg day at the gym right?" Alex said as Jem nodded.
"Yeah, but please for the love of god, stop moaning while doing squats." Jem said as Alex giggled.
"Nope!"
With that he skipped over to his girlfriends car.
"Why are you smiling?" His girlfriend asked.
"Because your plan failed! And now Operation 'Winter hugs n snugz' Is underway!"
"How do you know my plan failed? Melania called me saying she can't wait to see him again."
"Well, Jem told me that Melania handcuffed him to a bed and tried to rape him while wearing a furry head."
"...I'm sure he's exaggerating."
"But Melania is a furry."
"Well...yeah, but I doubt she would bring that out on the first date, and come on, that story is unbelievable."
"Why? Because it was a man as the victim?"
"No, because how the hell did he escape if she handcuffed him?"
"Never underestimate the power of a man who hates furries."
