IIRC he was attending some boot camp graduation or something. I didn't get the impression that he was trying to scam free lunch at Applebee's or anything, he seemed completely bugnuts. He also died a while back, presumably not from old age.

I think it was his kid's graduation from bootcamp. I guess he wanted to look supportive but Jesus did he gently caress it up.

edit: the pic in question for the new page, an old one but still good. He's got the stare down right, that's the face of someone who's been smoked out for about an hour.

I think there should be a horror/sci-fi movie where everything North Korea's been doing has been on purpose because they're keeping portals closed/keeping some HP Lovecraft type monsters from coming out into the real world. Kind of like how in Hobgoblins the old security guard was keeping everyone, including new security guards from the film vault, where the hobgoblins lives, so that they wouldn't accidentally get out and get people killed. Everyone thought the old guy was crazy with his stories until one of the new guards accidentally went back there and let them loose.

That was the plot of the 2014 Godzilla. All the nuke tests of the 50s and 60s were attacks on Godzilla.

When I was ETSing from Active, my SMJ asked me to sit down and discuss reenlistment. He did the whole, "everyone comes back within six months" "There's no jobs bullshit then got down to brass tacks.
"What do I have to do to get you to stay? What kind of bonus?"
"187,000 dollars, Sergeant Major."
"What the hell? Where did you come up with that?""
"On the way to division review, I counted how many people I'd rather be, and figured each was worth a hundred dollars."
He chuckled. "Alright. You can pick any school. I'll give you Ranger! What do you think about that?"
"Malaysian Man Tracker."
"Be serious! Real schools here. I will put you down for Ranger today."
"It is a real school. I know some SF dudes who went to it. And I would rather lick my own rear end than go to Ranger."
At this point he got a big angry.
"Fine. Next duty station. Where do you want to go?"
"Antarctica."
"What the gently caress for!?"
"Because the Antarctic Service Medal is cool looking."
"SPC Bulletsponge, get the hell out of my loving office."

I didn't reenlist to stay active."

This is the best conversation to have. All you enlisted folk take heed.

I also haven't had to use my resume but I definitely don't bullshit mine or my awards. gently caress people that do.

Like there is a huge difference between supervising the work and doing it yourself imo. You need to know how to do it before you supervise. The military often forgets this.

I believe they can test for stuff outside of the normal battery if they suspect you of it. Years ago somebody in GIP mentioned that the navy was sending urine samples to UCLA to test for spice. Don't know if they can even do one for spray duster since it's almost the same thing as choking yourself as opposed to an actual drug.

They can use the US Olympic training center lab to test for steroids if they suspect it, and spice testing used to be another lab with a separate test, though now they've rolled it into the normal test battery for all samples. Inhalants definitely aren't something they check for.

They do not check for duster. Not sure about psilocybin because it comes out in pee. Cocaine is out of your system in like 3 days. Spice is not traceable unless the resulting chemical is changed to one that resembles a cannabinoid after it's smoked or whatever.

Poppy seed muffins WILL make you piss hot.

It really doesn't take that much. There was a case a while ago about a cop who pissed hot after eating a couple bagels. The department believed him so they had another cop piss, eat a couple bagels, and then piss again and he popped.

MOM WAS RIGHT
There are dudes i 100% know are juicing and they've never popped hot.

Why yes they're part of the good old boys club, why do you ask?

In all seriousness I don't give a gently caress, since I think roids are demonized unfairly, I just think it's dumb that it's more illegal than a joint, and a bigger risk drug (for blood borne pathogens) but they WILL nail your rear end to the wall for weed.
