One of the benefits of military family is when we turn out leftist there’s now a leftist who knows survival, marksmanship, self defense, ect.
I didn’t take up the offer of teaching MCMAP stuff until after somebody did fuck me up, but it was nice having the resource as a confidence booster for dealing with it.
Ugh, I've only been in a few fights. They were all mistakes, accidents, or wrong place wrong time moments, and one shootout once (no one got hit, we all sucked). Never looked for a fight. But yeah, family history is funny, huh? My grandfather is a communist who was exposed to multiple nuclear bombs at Enewetak atoll. He taught me not to fight. His son, my uncle, went out for the marines, he's the one that taught me to fight.
Based grandpa!
After getting bombed, he was a LIFELONG teamster and organized every work place he was ever in. Knew Hoffa, negotiated the union contract for one of the largest steel plants in the state, all as just some silly jazz cat trucker. It's a big legend to live up to, ngl.
