Last time I was at Knox taxi was 1$ to anywhere you wanted to go. :jiggled:

Story time: Saw an 0-6 fail his PT test this morning. Pretty much on purpose.

So there's this NCO who, if he wasn't in the army, would be wearing a fedora and living in his mother's basement. Acne, gross habits, whiny, everyone hates him. He's in the G-2 shop (that explains a lot).

This NCO is grading one line of people for the pushup event and the COL is first in line. I hear this NCO's whiny bitch-rear end voice going "one, one, one, you need to go all the way down, two, two, break the plane, three, three" At this point the COL just gets up says "gently caress this, and gently caress you" to the NCO and storms off the field.

Welp that goony NCO was grading wrong anyway so gently caress it!

COL re-took it and passed. NCO isn't allowed to grade PT tests anymore (apparently he was hosed up).

I forgot the trick to skipping the stupid online cyber awareness training. There's something with changing the URL to let you go right to the end, but it's been a while. Does anyone know what it is? I thought it was just changing all the "FALSE" to "TRUE" but that's not working.

If you say one, one, one, etc you're not doing it by the book, so gently caress people that do so forever.

I've gotten up when someone pulled that poo poo at a school. Surprise, she failed basically every person who didn't get up and the school ended up retesting those people. Now, after ten reps, free reign to poo poo on someone's day, I guess.

The answers aren't remotely hard, it's having to sit through Tina handing me a CD of the latest music and asking me if I want to listen to it on my top secret computer.

It's just a waste of time for trivial questions that test basic knowle--oh my god its an analogy for the army as a whole.

You just need to go to the url of the last page. IIRC it was like /certificate.htm or /certificate.html. This was the case when I last did it, but I've been out for two years now.

Edit: I am thinking of AT level 1. I don't remember the trick that one off the top of my head, but knowing the Army it is probably something like that.

Louisville is meh. 4th Street Live is cool if you got friends, kinda sucks by yourself. Also go to Rivergirls, bring back proof you were there. Kinda like the haunted house Thing where a kid brigs back proof to his friends that he did it. Except it's a strip club. I double dare you

Used to be Thoroughbred Lounge number 1-8 or something. See also "Trixies" off Preston Highway where midgets, terrible tats and csection scars are the rule.

Louisville is OK, but everything downtown is closed after 6 unless it's a restaurant or 4th street. 4th street is chock full of dudebros and rednecks.

Fortunately Metro incorporated the city and the county so there's tons of alternatives If you like food, there's great restaurants here - Mussel & Burger Bar was ranked best in the nation for burgers a couple years back. Game is awesome. There's a shitload of great bars.

What are you into and I can point you in the direction.

I didn't have that NCO grade me, but apparently he had a history of loving with people for some reason.

Oh, the information awareness one with the achievements and poo poo. Yeah that's just stupid, I had to redo mine back in March. There's another one that I have to take because I'm under DHA and it's one of those 'answer 100% and skip the training' ones so I just google it.

Yeah. I'd just go to the waterfront and chill. I remember getting to see Devo, Smashing Pumpkins, Cake and my friend's band all play one night and it was loving awesome.

In a bit of hilarity, I bought these shirts from this vendor and they gave me their card with their website on it in case I wanted more, which I did cause they were abstract art shirts with some killer designs and poo poo. I went to the website, loving childporn. I actually shutoff my computer instead of closing the page I was so shocked and panicked. Goddamn idiots had gotten the url wrong on their business card and it went straight to this loving cp site. Needless to say I didn't end up getting another shirt.

I once had a dickhead NCO give me a zero for the 75 pushups I did because I did them on my knuckles.

Then it was into first sergeants office the next morning because "disrespecting an NCO" or some such garbage.

Oh, I forgot. Phoenix Hill Tavern, 35 year fixture of Louisville which was awesome for live music with multiple stages? Closed suddenly this year. As did the "Wrinkle Room" (Jim Porters).

Why didn't you just stop doing knuckle push-ups after he didn't count the first 10?

He didn't say a single word to me until I got up.

It's irrelevant anyway as he was a turd who just hosed with people because he was retarded. No one else ever had a problem with it.
