Re: Off Topic 2010

Well, you would need to contact a recruiter first. Then....

Paperwork, paperwork, paperwork

Go to MEPS and they give you a physical, make you walk like a duck, and you pick your rate or MOS. Basically a job you will do in the military.

Then you go to Boot Camp.

Then Technical School and any other schools they want to send you.

Then you go to your duty station or home if you join the reserves.

What branch you interested in?

Air Force or Army

Leave it to my mom to create family drama during the holidays...

In my family it's not the holidays unless there is family drama.

Yeah well just make sure you DO YOUR RESEARCH before you join. Because once you sign and pick your job you gotta deal with it. I'm in the Navy but if you have any questions you can pm me as the process in joining the military is the same for any branch.

Re: Off Topic 2010

LOL I remember the duck walk. Mainly because it was this guy who couldn't do the duck walk at all, he would fall down after 2 steps.

But anyway......Four Loko has been replaced......Whipped Creme Alcohol is all the rage now.......WOW, what's next, alcohol flavored cereal ? Alcohol flavored toothpaste ?

No, but this is ridiculous. She's so hungry for attention that she feels like she has to do this. This is basically the "issue":

My family and I have a fantasy football league (she's not in it). Most Sundays we get together and watch the games, eat food, the usual. Obviously there's alcohol there, but I don't drink there because I usually have work in the morning, plus I have to drive home. Apparently "two people" told her I was drinking at said parties. 3 things:

1. It's not true.

2. She's admittedly been drinking since she was 13 years old. Pot, kettle, black.

3. Every weekend she asks me if I'm going out and will tell me "don't drive and call me if you need a ride home". Sooo I can go out with my friends, but it's an outrage if I drink in a MUCH safer enviornment?

I haven't heard from her yet, but apparently she's been calling/bitching at every other person in the family.

Co sign to the 100th power. Make sure it is something you actually WANT TO DO. Because once you sign those papers and take that oath at the MEPS station, you in and no getting out unless you severely injured.

I remember when I joined people were all gun ho, but as soon as we got off that bus at Ft Knox, 1/4 of the people on the bus started crying for their mama. Some people just can't deal with being yelled at.

LOL I know what you mean. I work in mental health at Navy Boot Camp and 95% of the patients I see are there because they miss their mommy. I have to deal with this everyday,

Are recuiters' pay based on how many they get to signup? I've always wondered if they're on a commissioned-type salary.

Re: Off Topic 2010

She didn't have a phone? I thought parents were letting 8 year olds have cell phones these days. You got lucky you didn't FB her though, don't want to talk to Chris Hansen on the other end.

lol nah, she dropped it in a pool.

Re: Off Topic 2010

So... I bought a pack of Fruit Stripe gum yesterday. For nostalgia.

I swear to god, and this isn't an exaggeration, it loses all of it's flavor in the 3-5 minute range.

Good while it lasts, though.

Re: Off Topic 2010

Sifting through my change tray today at work for enough coins to get me a snack out of the vending machine, found a 1936 Buffalo Nickel. Its not worth anything, but is still just cool to have...its freaking 74 years old.

Yeah, it's weird when you find really old change. What I find weird is that there are apparently still a ton of 1976 bicentennial quarters in circulation as I see them quite regularly.

But anyway......Four Loko has been replaced......Whipped Creme Alcohol is all the rage now.......WOW, what's next, alcohol flavored cereal ? Alcohol flavored toothpaste ?

Yeah, I saw a story on that this morning was wa like "WTF". Just seems like a really weird thing to put alcohol in.
