I was also in scouts from cubs through Eagle and I still think it fits the definition of (kinda) paramilitary lol.

We clearly just have different definitions of that word and therefore I’m just going to have to agree to disagree with you.

Army lets you come in at a higher rank if you have your Eagle rank.

I dunno man sounds a little militaryish to me…

Also were you ever in the scouts?

They have ranks that resemble military ranks (1st class, 2nd class ~ 1st lieutenant, 2nd lieutenant) etc and have a hierarchical leadership structure.

adjective Of, relating to, or being a group of civilians organized in a military fashion, especially to operate in place of or assist regular army troops.

Literally the first Google result lol

Also said (kinda) paramilitary so settle down there guy lol

claps great recovery!

Paramilitary because of the rank and leadership structure. I’m not saying they’re doing combat training lmao

When I said paramilitary I was really just talking about the ranks and leadership structure.

Why the fuck would you get rid of boy scouts it’s literally a patriotic paramilitary (kinda) organization with a checkered past on sexual abuse that should be a Republican wet dream lol

A little notebook I carry around with me

I work in RF and have to mess around with SMA cables all the time. As a result I carry a 5/16 wrench on my lanyard.

And here’s a mountain goats song that I think captures the feeling really well!

Marginally happier for a few weeks and then absolutely nothing
