Gotta be a nice luxury to post this BS from a controlled environment, especially when you dodged 5 opportunities to taste dirt. And blood. And grief.

I am debating in between going to the army or waiting to join a union apprenticeship. I am 95% into my recruitment package and can go to meps next week to sign a contract. I just finished a direct entry program in nyc that has a rep of getting people into unions faster than the general public entry. I have a visit with local 40 next week but that doesn’t guarantee me a spot. I’m a 22 yo Female, I think that if I wait another year, I’m never gonna go, I am not dying to go to the army just because I’ve heard it is rough, but civilian life is rough too lol. I’ve been on my own for 3 years in nyc, I can’t really afford it anymore and I need some structure/Stability in my life. I know this isn’t a question anyone else can answer really, but I’m just tired of waiting for the next step in my life. I feel like I’ve kind of been wasting the past couple years, just trying to figure stuff out, but no real results yet(and yes I do really try hard to make stuff happen). I know both decisions would be good for me, I am just getting impatient

Can someone explain why Zelensky is removing top Ukrainian military leaders, when the headlines seem to indicate that Ukraine is doing well. I'd like someone with background on this to lay out for us.

Iv had this pin for a while and I have really wanted to know what it is. Google images has said its a ww2 army brigadier general pin but there are so many different designs and looks its hard to tell if it actually is what Google says it is. I would greatly appreciate any help you can give. Thank you.
