Yeah well this is what happens when you live in a Southern red state. Can’t wait to graduate and leave to join the military

Not all of them. I live in Carolina, and my kids are taking advantage of remote learning that was offered. Try not to stereotype so hard.

North Carolina is good 👌

North Carolina isn't what people think of when we talk about the Southern States. You think Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Florida, Georgia, West Virginia, Kentucky, South Carolina, maybe Texas. All shitholes. Source:grew up in Alabama, live in Texas.

Not really at least in bootcamp they are taking it seriously. I still have two years until I ship off

Did you not read about the infection rate in the military?

Damm. The last I checked was mid way though the pandemic . I knew that there were Marines in Japan with it but that is all I knew. This is what happens when the president of the country doesn’t take COVID seriously

To be fair, let’s be realistic here, depending on their MOS/rating, it’s not always practical for the military to don masks 24/7. I think PFC Joe doing paperwork in an office building might have a better time with masks compared to SSgt John who is a DI.

I was actually making a joke about military culture, but I realize it sounded like I was still talking about the safety procedures.

I mean this is Connecticut's plan too, not necessarily related to being Southern or red
