Hey everybody! Coming at you from the not-so-fair-weather Ft. Benning

Failed out of Airborne school for reasons beyond my control

Headed to Fort Bliss this coming Wednesday.

I've decided to restart an Upwork account and learn how to make some BADASS copy and after that, Website creation.

- PV2 Jones
What kind of website creation are you going for?

I was in the Marine Corps, and depending on your unit you might have a load of downtime or next to no time to yourself. Especially being in the infantry. I wouldn't want to expect to get back to the barracks at 1700 to wrap up that copywriting job but oh wait, LCpl Schmuckatelli decided to do thing_specifically_told_not_to_do and now you have to stand in formation for hours.

Beyond that, you're in a prime position to start taking calculated risks. A $200 test run on ads is a lot easier to manage when you have that salary.

I wish I found TFF when I was on active duty.
