Some are now saying that 130/80 is stage one high blood pressure instead of just elevated.

I disagree but I'm not a doctor.

Then again maybe that's just word play.

Keep in mind it's a "practice" and it's your body. Do what's best for you. Personally there is no way I'm taking meds if I'm at 130/80.

I agree. What people don’t know is that medicine isn’t mathematics. A lot depends on how things are done in that country or by that doctor etc. From all I know the US prescribes medicine much more generously than other countries including antibiotics, blood pressure, induction of labour when pregnant, pain reliever etc. Gotta be careful about those things. 130/80 is no high bp. The rate at which some people swallow antibiotics also is the reason why the world is full of multi-resistent bugs. Too much medicine is really just as bad as too little.

Here's a question for all the single (not married) people: Should we lose the term Boyfriend/Girlfriend since we all are Men/Women, & instead use Manfriend/Womanfriend?

If I weren’t married but had one steady partner I’d probably call him that although I don’t know if that sounds right in English. Girlfriend does sound childish.

People often say partner or SO (significant other). Then there's the whole - My MAN or My WOMAN thing.

It’s not a convenient verse, except you interpret more into it than what is written. Having respect for laws and governing authorities is a common sense thing every citizen should learn. If we don’t agree with something we still have the option of taking it to court. You were in the army, as far as I understand respect for authority is important there as well, isn’t it. So I don’t see why it’s controversial for the bible to say comply with state authorities. It’s written for exactly such situations like what this pastor was doing in my opinion.

Man: fallible

God: Infallible

That's a very basic concept. Not sure why you put me in this, I don't believe in the bible. But if I had a book from someone who was infallible and never changed, I don't see how that reconciles with laws from the fallible people.

That's why originally the rulers were the church. Now it's a whole new context. We are secular.

Nothing to read into. It's really basic.

I think I told y’all a while ago a friend of mines on that boat. I’m actually watching his dog for him right now. He told me it’s a shit show out there. Damn shame. That CO did the right thing the Navy just needed a scapegoat for looking “weak”.
Click to expand...
What kind of dog does he have? (I love dogs).

What is he telling you, because reports have it none of the 92 testing positive are needing any hospitalization. It he saying otherwise?

So what do you think of the captain leaking his letter? Do you think he should have been let go as the captain of that ship?
Also, is that common for top brass to reveal to everyone the goings on, or should he have gone through his chain of command?

He didn’t go into details about how many people were sick but it’s definitely growing. They are shipping them to Guam I guess to get treatment so hopefully things will work itself out but still it’s a fucked up situation.

The captain did the right thing. More often than not the military tends to try to sweep things under the rug to keep up appearances so when things like this happen they act swiftly. They think it makes them look bad but honestly he did the right thing. I would of did the same especially if no one higher up was gonna lift a finger. It’s definitely not common for them to just reveal things like that tho.

He has a welsh corgi he’s cool as shit. Sheds a lot on my damn couch tho lol
 
DJG87 said:
The only facts that haven’t came out is if he reached out to the chain first before it was leaked. There’s rumors that he might not of leaked it to begin with. Regardless of that a lot of people are divided on the subject. I know the people on that ship aren’t they love that man for doing what he did.

There’s always stories of lower ranking sailors who give up their ships position or status either cuz they ignorant and want something to post on social media... or they’re on some espionage shit. This CO while I understand their reasoning behind relieving him, did the same thing I probably would of done. Especially considering how fast this shit was beginning to spread. My friend on that boat still there tryin to make sure he don’t get sick despite a lot of bullshit he’s hearing from his superiors. It’s a shitty situation no CO can ever be prepared for and the military at large isn’t either. The more fucked up part is it usually takes a few people to die for real action to take place. It all sucks.

I went there when I was a airman for about two months on det. That was fun as shit. We stayed at a Marriott & I was 20 runnin amuck out there lol.
Click to expand...
Yeah Guam is lit. I loved it. I was at the Marriott too. lol. We worked at the airforce base. They tried to break our balls every chance they got. They even made one of our guys that we rode to work with get out at the gate because he didn't have on a seat belt. lol. The van didn't have enough seat belts for all of us. I had to go back to the gate and pick him up before the maintenance meeting.

Their base sucked. I liked the Navy base out there. That swimming area was the shit. The Air force hated us for reasons I never understood. One time in California we had to sleep unexpectedly at an Airforce base because our plane broke down. lol. Them motherfuckers kept waking us up at night making us move to different rooms. I seriously wanted to say fuck it, lets kick their asses.

We worked outta the Air Force base too & them dudes were just weird. Especially towards us AOs they were extra for no reason. I know my rate gets the bad rap for being a box of rocks but them Air Force dudes were remedial as shit. I was the DD for most of it but I had fun driving around doin stupid shit with that duty van.

Marines acted funny towards too. They didn't want us using their restroom on their side of the hangar when I worked at a Marine base. lol. What is with having a different color uniform? Whoever divided the branches up like that knew what they were doing. People really think things like that make them special.

One of my marine instructors in A- school couldn't believe I was in the Navy because of my fitness level. He used to ask me "why did you join the Navy." I just kinda laughed off the marines most of the time. They got laid more than the average Navy guy in A-school but if you were fit you still got yours too.

It was the Airforce dudes that I really didn't like. That really had a stick up their asses. I guess because they are mostly obsolete anyway. The Navy is basically the mobile Airforce, It's been that way for a long time now.

Most of the jokes about our rate came from within the command. "Geek squad," "Tweaks," "Trons," "Insert the current popular video game here" That was our name. They had us doing the electronics for everything in the command. I'm like you tards can't set up a PA system?? LOL.

The weird thing was that when we finished our work for the night, maintenance control wanted us to stick around and wait for everyone else, but if we were the last shop working people would start leaving out. I'm like hold on wtf??

The Air Force holds some relevance when it comes to JTACs and TACPs, but, outside of those guys, bombing runs, and so on, they don't hold a great deal of relevance. The focus on Drones made them even more irrelevant. They are more geared towards "testing" as it is required to reach the next rank. Everyone else uses boards and prior experience to make that judgement. They don't call them "Chair Force" for nothing.
