In my tech school they used to have couches and stuff in our break room. Then at some point before I came along somebody fell asleep and they took it all away save for some vending machines. I was sitting on the floor reading a book one day and an instructor supervisor came in and screamed at me because he decided that wasn't allowed either.

Yes, "break room" and "relaxation" have absolutely nothing in common.

This thread serves me well by continually reminding me it's a lovely decision to enlist.

If you think that, along the way, you're not going to fail... you're blind.

There's no one I've ever met, no matter how successful they are, who hasn't said they had their failures along the way.

I got yelled at one day because my socks were visible. My blousing rides up when I'm sitting, there's gently caress all I can do about it. This same instructor got angry at some students for saying hello to him one morning.

He also inexplicably told us he's been a pariah his entire career. I can't imagine why.

Enlisting is fine, it's just guys like that dude also enlisted and probably outrank you.

enlisting is fine as long as you choose a good MOS. There is a world of difference between doing IT work in the air force and getting a security clearance, and going infantry in the marines.

I work with a girl who says she wants to be an MP in the Navy or USMC after she's finished. Do we have any MP goons on the forums for any branch?

No but I got a female friend who got raped twice last year in the service and who's wife also in the service got raped but just once.

Dont encourage her to join if she has any other options.

Unless she has a burning desire to be a civilian cop, there's absolutely no useful skillset to be gained from that career field.

If she DOES want to be a civilian cop, she should probably just skip the 4-years of sexual harassment/assault and go direct.

On track for new worst fire season ever! :downs:. I got off the Mendocino complex after two weeks doing facilities, being my second fire with the Cs and also the new biggest fire ever in CA history.

I've tried to impress upon her that the armed forces is about ten to thirty times lamer and dumber than her current job. One of you fine gents sent me a loving horrifying video with a female MP talking about her experience that I'm going to send her when she gets back from vacation.

As for being smart enough to not do enlist, I'm not really sure. She's reasonably literate but is also dating a former inmate firefighter turned contract firefighter sooooo.

My oldest niece is going through JROTC in high school and last I heard she wanted to Army pretty hard. She doesn't want to go Air Force since "it's too cerebral". I talked to my parents last weekend and now it sounds like she wants to go Marines, which oh my. She's also having trouble in school and she's pretty much a little poo poo to my brother and his family. I might be able to talk her out of it, but who knows? She might not even graduate!

In another three years if this dead gay forum exists, I'm fairly sure I'll be able to talk about my niece's many mistakes.

I wouldn't worry too much. I watched this happen many times over and most of the time they didn't end up in their dumb teenage preferences, or weren't in the military at all. Unless she starts buying a bunch of USMC poo poo, then she might be stupid forever. This one moron bought some Class As and wore them to school at least once without any of the stuff on them.

Sounds like me twenty years ago. Tell her to go contract artillery. The cycle of stupid must continue. The wheel turns as the wheel wills.

If your brothers wife died slowly of cancer and he immediately remarried to the person he cheated on his dying wife with, then purposefully moved to jobs 1000+ miles away from any family support network the kid had, well... that's just creepy.

My reserve unit sent a bunch of folks from NYC to Massachusetts for the range today. I didn't go with them but apparently one of the bus drivers took the side mirror off of an ice cream truck and then proceeded to try and duck him in the side streets of Brooklyn. In a bus. Amazingly he did lose him when Mister Softee got caught in a turn lane. He then proceeded to take off his own side mirrors going through a toll booth on a bridge.

My buddy asked another bus driver about it and his response was, "Yea, he's Jamaican."
