      Do you think you would get accepted into the military with your less intense version of this memory loss?

        I don’t see why not, it’s not like I can’t function, just things that aren’t constantly reinforced tend to slip away over time

    Plot twist: anon didn’t actually join the military. He was just balls deep in a 8hr call of duty game and high on Mt dew and vape smoke.

      Imagine for a moment, a hypothetical world, where there are other countries than the USA. Now we’re really stretching it, but imagine if those countries had a draft.

        I’m aware other countries have the draft, see my answer below for why it seems more likely American.

        Memory loss - would get you kicked from military in any country with health care.

        Grow my hair out and beard - maybe Korea, if they have a decade to grow facial hair.

        Fuck like rabbits - kind of an Americanism

        Go to the local pub - could be America or British (no draft in Britain, was called consctription)

        Likely fiction anyways but many things made it likely USA.

    Imagine how awesome that would be, assuming either A) she hasn’t had sex with anyone else or B) if she did, you are okay with that

      Wait, I’m sorry, what part of either of these is awesome? I’m lost… If A is the case, whether she had sex with someone else or not is immaterial to the discussion. If she thinks OP is someone else, for all intents and purposes, he is, at least as far as our discussion goes, which makes her a cheater. If B is the case and OP indeed is okay with being cucked (whether it’s by himself or not) I would argue that without both parties involved in the relationship having previously agreed to such an arrangement it is, once again, still infidelity and ergo decidedly not awesome.

      Although, C) Ultimately none of this matters because D) OP wouldn’t remember either way, regardless and E) none of this happened to begin with anyway, so… Shenanigans.

    I didn’t realize you could get out of the army without your wife knowing. Maybe that’s why it was gf at the beginning and suddenly switched at the end, so you don’t realize the incongruity.
