My dad, never got deployed, was in prison for fencing items, also owned businesses that in retrospect were suspiciously ideal for money laundering. o7

Then my childhood friend, sprayed nazi graffiti around town, went to juvie, now serves the troops. o7

Then a coworker, former military (allegedly), has a psychosis (which isn't bad!), and was harassing his ex at her work based on delusions (which is bad). o7

Then a different coworker at a different place, active military, very authoritarian despite not knowing much and not being our supervisor. Made everyone uncomfortable and frustrated including our actual supervisor. Now he's becoming a National Guard. o7

psychosis isn't something you have, it's something you experience. we say "in" active psychosis.

and it's pretty fuckin bad lol it's a difficult symptom

I say Psychosis because I forget the exact mental disorder he had.

I also say "it's not bad" as in I'm not judging him for it.

It was particularly challenging as US and NATO codify rank as O3, O4, etc.
