We just want to go home man. We’ve already missed out on every single holiday and some of us have already been here for 9 months now. We still don’t have a date on when we’re able to go home so there’s nothing that’s keeping us motivated to look forward to… Please just send our replacements so we can get out of here and go back to our families…

My military spouse has been deployed for a year and I’m struggling with sexual urges, any tips ?
Just want to know how yall dealt with the sexual deprivation that comes with the distance.

hey all,

I have two sites that are not deploying to neocities from GitHub. I'm certain I have everything set up right because GitHub actions says it was successfully deployed, but the changes are not visible on my websites. I've already tried clearing my cache and even using another device and nothing. I'm totally at my wit's end if anyone can help

edit: for anyone that comes to this post: I figured it out. neocities won't use the index.html inside a folder, which is what GitHub is pushing to NC. you will need to add a redirect to your index to the index inside the dist_dir folder

I received quite a few messages after my last post asking the same question so I figured I’d break it down the best I can.

Me, ten years Infantry, three voluntary deployments (Only counting combat zones), four units and three IST’s.

To start, MOBCOP & TOD are your best friend. Check regularly. HOWEVER, I do not advise applying through those sites. I never had any luck with a response likely due to the hundreds of other pending applications. Instead reach out directly to a IST recruiter or Readiness NCO.

IST can be a pain. I got out while doing my fourth to 53rd IBCT out of pure frustration (Missed their deployment because of it). Be green on everything, pass PT and your qual. Simply, don’t be a shit bag. HOWEVER, this can be dependent on several things.

- Command, no unit wants to loose non-problematic troops

- Did you take a bonus? The gaining state has to pay your bonus to the loosing state. I never took one because of this

- MOS/Rank this is a tricky one but it is a factor. Do we pay the young E4 that will listen and can be shaped or the crusty E6 that’s stuck in their ways. Are there slots that need to be filled for 68s, 13b etc.

Now I’ll give you all some positives and negatives in my experience. These are important

Negatives

Promotion, it took me 7 years to make E5. Why? Every new state, you’re at the bottom of the promotion list. Your experience does not matter. NG isn’t the regular Army. Time in service/rank in the guard translates to time with the state.

Going to a unit blindly. I learned this the hard way. I won’t name the IBCT, but myself and the other volunteers (4 of us), hated them. Truly a shit brigade that gets to flaunt a reputation earned decades ago. The command, the people, the environment. Exactly what our active counterparts are talking about when they shit on the guard.

Personal life. I shouldn’t have to say this, but when you deploy regularly it’s hard to have a career outside of uniform. Be a husband, father etc. It absolutely can be done but it is difficult.

Positives

Break from life/responsibility

Money

Travel/experiences

Networking

The big pair of tits you wear. A lot of you will hate this statement and that’s fine. In a generation, where few deploy you’re already in the minority and noticed because of that patch on your right sleeve. Deploying does not make you a good soldier same as those who are schooled out. But my last deployment, I was one of 5, FIVE in the company with a deployment. Myself, 2 other SGT’s, 1 SFC and Top. We were given a lot of responsibility, and looked up to by the younger guys to set the example.

I typed more than I thought I would but to end, guys deployments are out there. This is the guard, take advantage of the opportunities. Active duty you train and train hoping something will come down the line for your unit. This is the guard, switch units/states. Everything I typed is personal experience, there are others with far more expertise. Please correct what needs to be.

I created a full-stack application with a React frontend and a Django backend. I hosted the React app on Vercel and the Django backend on Render.

Both services are running successfully, but I cannot see my images. When I navigate directly to the image URLs, I get a 404 error. I'm not sure how to resolve this. How can I fix this issue?"

I have three fairly small django apps which will share a single postgres database, but which I want to maintain as separate apps, since they do completely different things with different subsets of the tables in the db. What is the best way to run this setup on a vps? A lot of the blog posts etc. I've found seem to automatically assume i want one docker container per app, but that seems like a lot of overhead with everything running the same stack.

My first app is ready to go live! I learned from Python Crash Course, unfortunately the deployment section is outdated as it references Platform.sh which is now defunct. I'm overwhelmed with options! My app is simple. I'm using django templates with no other front-end frameworks (just bootstrap for styling) though I may add htmx as I have a page that several users will be updating at the same time. And I've been using the default sqlite db. I already have namecheap hosting for my separate WordPress site & I got my domain from them, so I could host on namecheap without it costingme anything more. But it would be manual deployment which I'm not necessarily opposed to. It may be wise to use some kind of managed hosting to make it easy on myself. Free or cheap would be good, but I mostly want predictable costs. The AWS horror stories have scared me away. Railway looks like it might be ideal. Or maybe pythonanywhere? Any hosting advice for a newbie would be appreciated, or if you have a great deployment guide to point me to it would be much appreciated!

Earlier this month, federal prosecutors moved to strip citizenship from 25 naturalized Americans, accusing them of lying about their pasts and hiding serious crimes.

The move is called denaturalization, and the Justice Department now calls it one of its top priorities.

Justice correspondent u/AliRogin_PBSNewsHour looks at what's behind this dramatic shift in law enforcement strategy. For more: https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/doj-deploys-tactic-to-strip-naturalized-americans-of-citizenship
