#Military Graduation

[radioactive-mouse]

so i got to thinking about the timeline a bit

[cuterefaction]

Trektober Day 7 - Academy Era. Not everything needs to be Starfleet - sometimes, it can be murder lizards! I know they wouldn't've trained at the same time, but I like the idea of all these disasters being stuck in a teen movie together with an increasingly miserable Tain as principal.

This blog is four years old today. If this blog was a human being I'd be picking it up from daycare right now. Who allowed this to happen

I don't have enough writing creativity to make a fic where Alex gradually morphs into the Jackal. Y'all gotta take this bullet for me🙏

does plaithus require their citizens to do military service?

Military service is not a requirement, per se, but the military is absolutely glamorized. To the lower class, the military is sold as an opportunity for a more "stable" lifestyle while simultaneously serving one's country. Most children in the lower class are essentially groomed by public education into idolizing the military, and orphanages really push the agenda that the children should go into the military as it's the best place they can find camaraderie and family. You could honestly view most public schools + orphanages as a sort of military school to begin with, to be honest. And while the children aren't forced to join the military once they graduate, I would say it's definitely been implanted in their heads to join.

With the nobility + upperclass, the military is still pushed as being something honorable. But it's sort of fetishized, in a sense. For example, a lot of them sexualize certain militia figures because they represent power, strength, "honor," and resiliency, all things Plaithus really emphasizes as being attractive and important traits. Most upper-class citizens will still try and join the military because of this, but will often serve in officer positions and will likely never see real combat, even if they are trained in it.

So no, service is not required, but the military is such an intrinsic part of the national identity of Plaithus that mostly everyone you meet will know someone directly serving in the military to one extent or another.

There's also sharp divides on mentality of the military within the military, as only certain groups have ever truly served on the frontlines. MC + Syfyn's experience of the military as young adults is absolutely a different experience than middle-class recruits, or a noble's son.

POTS PPL LISTEN UP

You all NEED to know about the Anti-G Straining Maneuver

It's what fighter pilots are taught to do when G forces are pulling all their blood from their brains to their feet (sound familiar?) to help prevent them from blacking out or going unconscious.

I have used this many times and it's very effective.

First tighten/contract all of the muscles in your lower body (abdomen down to toes). This acts much in the same way as compression stockings and helps force blood back upward and prevent it from running en mass to your ankles.

Second step is to take quick, shallow breaths. Basically you're hyperventilating here which helps to super-oxygenate your blood making what little blood you can get to your brain more effective at delivering the much needed oxygen.

If you find this technique at all helpful you can thank lesbian romance novels because that's where I learned about it and went "huh, that's basically what happens when I stand up I wonder if it'll help" and it did so now you know about it too.

January 17, 2024 -

Jungkook and Jimin graduate from basic! Unfortunately, I don’t have any further information than that, and I haven’t seen any videos or pictures besides these two below. I debated on even sharing these photos, but they’re across social media platforms, so I’ll leave them here as a means of archiving this milestone in service. Note - I’m finding out these two photos may have been from a different time in basic. Nevertheless, I’ll still leave them here since I don’t have an exact date.

We have gotten this picture though, which appears to be from Jk’s graduation -

And we’ve received more information on Jk’s assignment:

Breakdown of the division:

And Jk’s brother posted this photo of Jk on his IG stories:

oc log 9: misc + Kain’s t-shirt collection

1st image is Neuna: she’s the student council president at a prestigious boarding school known for producing some of the nation’s brightest (fun fact: Val and Kalani graduated from there, although when they were there it was a bit more run down. In just a few years it managed to raise it its reputation to stand as an elite boarding school, intriguing). Neuna means well but can be a bit uptight and strict, especially with the rival school next door…

Last image is Mortia: A disgraced doctor cast out for her unethical treatments, although she died 10 years ago, what a pity
