Well I think most of us have enough of the mush brains and sad brains that none of it really matters any more.

But here is my example of being the kind of opposite of Cole.

nobody gives a gently caress about about anyone's test scores in the military unless the test was to see how close the average dumb gently caress can withstand a nuclear blast.

It doesn't matter what your scores were, you were dumb enough to sign up to begin with and that's all that ever mattered. Everything else stems from that single poor life choice.

The ASVAB importance is stressed by recruiters because it's how they dick flex against other recruiters.

They often sit in each other's offices talking mad poo poo about how many lives they hosed up this month, but when they start breaking even, they use the ASVAB scores to settle it; the higher the score, the "smarter" the idiot they got to fall for this poo poo..

when i picked up in itb one of the tis had us read message to garcia then write a paper summing up what it was about. later that evening he called me into the office and told me out of the 80 or so knuckle draggers in the platoon, i was the only one who understood what it was actually about

message to garcia is like a 2 page essay and its like 8th grade reading comprehension if youre being generous. so i was essentially king of the tards

So my 203 gunner being the genius that he is keeps his 203 off safety. Well we are rolling a patrol and end up dismounting. As he gets out his sling catches on the trigger of the 203 and inadvertantly pulls the trigger firing the grenade. it hits a nearby goat herders flock and blows up like 10 goats and the herder.

The excuse to the chain of command? He was a suicide bomber and woopsied his vest. Now this is believed for about 2 months until he decides to talk about wasting a loving hadj to people he shouldnt. Anyway dude got no sort of punishment.

Let's just crosspost this from the Current Events thread, it really belongs over here more.

A guy I used to work with was nicknamed Rainman, it sounds an awful lot like his name, he didn't seem to get that it was an insult. He had a fat hog wife he was constantly fighting with, of course like all fats he insisted this was caused by a gland problem. His first kid has a bunch of medical issues due to pregnancy complications, apparently something in her reproductive system is hosed up or something, I'm not sure what exactly it is. The kid has both physical and mental problems, rather than getting her tubes tied immediately he decides he's going to get her pregnant again, his reasoning was that he was sure they were headed for a divorce and he didn't want his son having only step-siblings :ughh: So they have another kid, apparently it was a difficult pregnancy but I've got no idea if his daughter has any medical issues of her own as a result. They finally got her tubes tied after that. Right about that point I go TDY with him for just short of 2 months. He spends just about every waking moment we have a cell signal arguing with his wife on the phone, the rest of the time he spends watching speedrun videos. We've got a 45 minute commute twice a day during which he fights with her on the phone until he has no more bars, or starts as soon as he has a signal. Not once giving a gently caress that I know all their marital problems, or that I can't escape. I once went for a bike ride with a thunderstorm coming in just to get away from him, I ended up waiting out the storm in a tunnel.

A couple months later he gets out, everyone comments on how much better his life would be if he just gets a divorce. Apparently sometime between then and a couple years ago he gets that divorce. But then my old supervisor runs into them at a beer festival, and they're planning on getting back together.

Somewhere there's a video from local news of him after he and Hagatha had to be rescued by a helicopter. Her fat rear end (Maybe not but that's what I'm going with) swamped their canoe and stranded them on a little island on a river. He credits his cell phone with saving his life, and then quotes Napoleon Dynamite. Someday I'm hoping someone can dig up that video, I really want to see it. He was one of the people who stood in line to get the first iPhone, and of course was annoying as hell about. He was ECP duty during an ORE shortly after it came out, and the group commander caught him playing on it while completely MOPP'd up, largely because she was standing at the door for a few minutes before he realized she was there. It's a shame she's such a softy because he really needed someone to ream him out, it probably wouldn't have done him any good, but at least it would have been entertaining for everyone else. He was treated with kid gloves most of the time because his life was such a disaster.
