Out of the 6 I spotted at the start of the semester - and by spotted I mean they constantly started each sentence with "AS A VETERAN I" - I'm the only one left. No one knows though, and if anyone asks I say I used to work for the government doing pointless bullshit which is completely accurate.

I usually only bring it up to professors one on one or if Inback myself into it in class. "When I lived in Germany..."

I come to class every day with a molle backpack, a hat that came with velcro loop on it to which I have attached a subdued US Flag and my blood type, and my "service dog"

If you haven't jacked off in a foxhole in broad daylight, you haven't lived.

School related: back in November I applied for a pretty cool public policy fellowship (https://www.ppiaprogram.org/ppia/what-we-do/junior-summer-institutes/junior-summer-institutes/), which has the dual benefits of giving you money AND helping in graduate program applications. Well, earlier this month I found out that I was an alternate select to the fellowship at Carnegie Mellon. This was better than I expected, and waited for the day where they would inform us if any primaries had declined the fellowship so one of us alternate would be called up. Well, that day was today, and I found out that all primaries had accepted their fellowships, so no dice for us poor alternate selects. Too bad!

not caring here posted:Out of the 6 I spotted at the start of the semester - and by spotted I mean they constantly started each sentence with "AS A VETERAN I" - I'm the only one left. No one knows though, and if anyone asks I say I used to work for the government doing pointless bullshit which is completely accurate. I talk about being a veteran a good bit but only when it's relevant. It comes up every now and then during the regular 'talk about your feelings about _____________' sessions that are part of medical school or when someone asks me how I know how to do basic medical/nursing poo poo like putting in IV lines or doing physical exams. There's another Vet (USMC Infantry) here but he's been out way longer than me and is really chill and low key, and his service experiences were waaaaaay less medically relevant than mine. Apparently he was in Max Uriarte's (Terminal Lance creator) unit in Hawaii though, which is pretty cool. Through pre-med we had a bunch of vets drop out though, particularly one Artillery officer who thought he was in charge of me because prior O vs E was supposed to mean something. I told him to eat a dick and he failed out of the program at the end of the semester.

Soulex posted:I usually only bring it up to professors one on one or if Inback myself into it in class. "When I lived in Germany..." Same here. You'll only find out I was a veteran once I mention having spent a few years out of the state or it comes out that I'm one of the older students in the class. And it'll be during small group discussions, no "AS A VETERAN..." here. I've only been outed as a vet by a professor once.

I jerked off in the MRAP while we were waiting on medivac after an ANA guy shot himself in the foot. Thanks that's my jerking off story. Also I keep my veteran status low key as possible but word is already out and it's a small campus. People generally don't ever talk about it save for one or two curious people.

So a woman just wore a dress and decided to read outside yesterday. Laying down in the grass. With her knees up. Facing the sidewalk. Everyone got a view that day.

I think the veterans in my class all just sorta telepathically know, like brother you're muscular and bearded, as I am, as is the hombre with a nondescript yet somewhat tactical backpack, no need to even ask or bring it up.

I'm a tall, skinny white dude with a beard and hair down to my shoulders. I talk about socialism, environmental concerns, and growing weed. If I ever tell people I'm a vet they straight up don't believe me for a while. Going to the VA is always interesting as well

Cole are you one of those dudes who can't modulate his voice and has no sense of personal space or others' space? I have a friend like that and I love him to death but he's a little bit intense.

Holy poo poo I never realized that lack of voice modulation was what tied together 90% of the veterans at my school. I knew there was something, but just couldn't put my finger on it.

I am relatively quiet and I generally keep to myself. Hanging out with 18-22 year olds makes me feel weird and creepy. E: I'm the guy who will interrupt you and say "I'm standing right here" if you're being loud when we are talking.

I have a few fellow vets in my classes and in one class the dude has a molle backpack, a hat with flag velcrod on, and cargo shorts. I didn't want to talk to him about anything, ever, but it turns out he's a huge leftist communist so I got him on that Voc Rehab train. Basically the only time I talk about being a vet to anyone is to convince them to get on Voc Rehab.

Totally blew it off for a while because I thought I wouldnt get anything. On a whim I filled it out before a spring semester and got the entire year of grant money ($5775) in one check. It loving owned.

I filled out the FAFSA once because everyone said to, but it turns out you get nothing if you already have a degree. And that still hasn't gotten them to stop spamming me. Like they want me to fill it out every year now just for them to tell me I get nothing.

My accounting exams always go the same. I feel like I have no clue what I'm doing on homework and during class and I'm 99% sure I'm going to bomb the exam, and then I somehow pull off a B. Btw bonds suck.
