• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

just lost a friend in the ARMY...

No, he didn't die but I've know this guy for the last 3 years, we were really good friends. After he started attending the ARMY he started exhibiting a cocky attitude, like he though he was invulnerable.

Then yesterday he made a remark on my Facebook, obviously the dude thought I was after his girl?? He was telling me not to post on her wall, like he controls her life ... the funny thing is, I trusted this guy with my life and I helped him so much with his.

Today, he made the final cocky remark on my facebook, deleted me and told me to not get cute with him, that he doesn't want to have to come and find me...

This is a beautiful display of arrogance and impulsiveness, too sure of themselves they are. But it saddens me, that he would make a big deal out of something so small, cook it and throw away our partnership........what a sad story and a lack of a US soldier......I am not the enemy, the enemy is out there....fighting me in public would be a big mistake, it doesn't matter of I win or loose or he wins or looses, in the end, as a US solider, he is fighting with the very same people he is trying to defend...otherwise, what did you join the ARMY for? to be a punk?

Has any of you guys, lost a friend this way? What a pitty, is all I have to say. I went to the NAVY myself and the training was rough but I always knew where to draw the line in terms of attitude, if your going to represent the ARMED forces, you need to have a thick skin and be professional.
 
The army may change some people's behavior. But people I know that went to army are are not so bad.
 
The military are the same in all parts of the world, that's all, he begin to separate civil life and military life, and begin to think that in anyway they are superior, well I don't talk more.:cool:
 
We should be cautious about comparing military and civilian attitudes to life.

How many of us are expected to put ourselves in immediate personal danger without hesitation when ordered to?

As a veteran of the USAF, I can tell you that the military can have a serious affect on anyone. It also depends on what's experienced and with whom you surround yourself. I can admit I changed quite a bit when I entered the USAF. I ended up being stationed with a guy I graduated high school with (Imagine that!) and he told me I was completely opposite of what I was...

I too have lost a good friend years ago. We both served and had similar ideas and such so we became friends. Things were GREAT for about eight years, then suddenly he started to become a foul human being. I don't know why but I could no longer tolerate it and we permanently parted ways.

DO NOT beat yourself up. Sometimes things like this happen and usually it's a good thing... "a blessing in disguse". Disputes between friends over women, regardless if anything was happening or not, is always a nasty situation. Let him come to you, if he chooses. Anything you might do will undoubtedly just add gasoline to the fire...
 
When it comes to girls, the best guys can become huge douches.
It doesn't necessarily have to do anything with a military career though.
And jealousy is generally a sign of weakness.
