Eat a raw potato.

The weak crumble, are slaughtered and are erased from history while the strong survive. The strong are respected and in the end, peace is made with the strong.

But like, I mean if you can't take your girlfriend with you on deployment (unless she's your wife), then wtf are you going to do

The same thing any person without a girlfriend does. Nothing.
Seriously like, the way you are asking makes it sound like you and everyone else in there are going to have the sex drive of the duracell bunny when he mistakes viagra for candy.
Purpelia does not reflect my actual world views. In fact, the vast majority of Purpelian cannon is meant to shock and thus deliberately insane. I just like playing with the idea of a country of madmen utterly convinced that everyone else are the barbarians. So play along or not but don't ever think it's for real.

But I mean there's the whole nudie mag trope with soldiers or whatever. And I dunno about you guys but adrenaline really kicks up my sex drive.

I'm still curious as to the purpose of this pouch:
(Image) (Image)
The store labels it as an ammo pouch. "Ammo for what" is my main concern, and I was hoping somebody might have a general idea. Right now, I'm guessing it's for submachine gun magazines, given the vertical stitches along the back, but I'm only 60% confident in that guess. The lack of a side-view picture doesn't exactly help.

Looks like something for the PPS if those back-stitches indicate two internal dividers.

That's what I was originally thinking as well, but like I said, I'm not 100% certain. The height in comparison to the belt loop gives me the impression that it might be tall enough for the 40-round RPK mags (even though I'm pretty sure China never made an RPK variant).

Oh well. I may as well just bite the bullet and buy the thing at some point. How badly could I screw up for US$2.50 + shipping and customs? :roll:

What's intense about that? It's just a school level research paper. Not like it's actual hard work.

Stress mostly.

Hard physical work though I guess doesn't have quite the same effect since it means actually taking all that extra energy out on something. But still.

I... can actually speak on this given that I live in Korea as of now... and enjoy the barracks life.

Yes.

Alright, further elaboration: yes.

Like, I mean everything and everyone has some way to relieve stress, and the job gets stressful. Masturbation is one of the healthiest ways to relieve that stress, unless you're one of the shitbags who actually decides to start 'dating' a local or a coworker. Honestly, it's not so bad for the POG's, it's just like civilian life, but with less pay and more supervision at work here. The actual grunts tho? Oh jeez do they actually act like some friggin' beasts. I'm not going to elaborate further on that and just let imagination fill in the blanks.

I can like get that maybe dating a coworker could be bad on the off chance that things go bad and you split on bad terms and than you end up having to spend time at work every day with someone you hate. But what's wrong with dating a local?

Sometimes they're not as local as you thought, and you come back with some weird shit growin' where it shouldn't be.

These are internal health statistics released to my BN for soldier-awareness purposes as I best can remember them: Upwards of 50 cases of Chlamydia in barracks in the Month of March. Rose to an excess of 75 in April. Serious STD's (HIV and the ilk...) reported number still in the single digits, but also grew by a factor of about 20-30%. I'll let you interpret that how you wish.

Honestly, the locals scare half the soldiers into trying to get with coworkers half the time while the other half of soldiers go out and get so drunk they forget to care and just roll the dice just one more time...

Wow, that's quite a bit of insight. I have a girlfriend and don't see that ending anytime soon so looks like I'll be safe.

Also with you being in the Army who knows, I might get sent over to wherever you are :p

I thought there were like ways to avoid getting those. Like really easy ways. But than again these might just be plague carriers who are so infected it burns right through rubber or something (metaphorically).

Yeah, but drunks and the hopelessly sexually active regularly eschew such precautions without much second thought already.
