"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Texas for now
For the past 2 years Ive been in the USAF though for the past few months Ive been in the process of switching to the Army. Well things finally went thru and Monday Im going to Meps to redo my contract. THings are happening pretty fast and I'm sure Ill be outta here by the end of the year. Ive been stationed here in Texas for the past year and its pretty much my home right now. Im sure some of you have read my past 2 threads on this girl I spent the night with Saturday-well Im kinda fumbling things but I guess it doesnt matter seeing how Im leaving though Im considering hanging out with her before I leave for the Army. Im going to go for infantry btw. So my life is definitely going to change quite a bit from my current lifestyle in the Air Force.
Anyways I guess Im just venting...
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

Hmmm Might i ask why you'd leave USAF for Army?

Just seems strange to me is all... my preference would be Air Force...

I'm also interested in why you decided to leave? I've talked to a lot of army guys and all have wished they'd gone USAF

God speed, and be safe, where ever you go.

Your sacrifices are appreciated by us 'older guys'. Just remember to be safe and look after the guys around you.

Best of luck to you, soldier.
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

Yea well most ppl think Im crazy for leaving the Air Force for the Army. But infantry is something Ive always wanted to do and the USAF was just my way of playing it safe. Im going to Meps Tuesday to do my contract and then the recruiter says I should be gone within 2 weeks.
To each his own I say-the Air Force just wasnt my thing. For a lot of ppl theyd like it since its more laid back and not as much physical work but its not something I take pride in.

I understand that. Personally i love high tech stuff so Aircraft and other USAF stuff appeals to me, But i also like the "grunt work" of the Infantry.

i know quite a few people in the army here in canada and most have done tours in Afghanistan, the biggest recommendations they gave me (should i join or be drafted) was Underarmor shirts (they have one that's approved by USMC, not sure about Army) and Level 4 body armor (Ceramic plates)

One guy showed me a picture of one of those ceremic plates after taking a .50 cal. It had been pulverised into dust, but they guy survived.

God watch over you, and good hunting.
