Following up on that guy who shot at a car that pulled into the wrong driveway last year... https://www.timesunion.com/news/article/kevin-monahan-faces-judge-friday-driveway-murder-18695585.php quote:A Washington County judge sentenced Kevin Monahan to the maximum 26⅓ years to life in state prison Friday for the murder of 20-year-old Kaylin Gillis outside his home, calling the shotgun-wielding homeowner an unremorseful and dishonest killer capable of repeating his ghastly crime. Rot buddy, rot.

I had to take it in Rhode Island. I aced everything but mechanical engineering which was pretty funny. Dodging recruiter calls for the next like year was not. Actually, I guess I don't know if it was mandatory, but nobody certainly said it was optional.

My phone is also full of photos of me trying to get my dog to look at the stupid device I’m always staring at instead of feeding him treats I also didn’t have to take the ASVAB in NC. From what I can see there is no legal requirement for taking it, but I am sure a bunch of schools just force everyone to do so because it’s easier than managing who has opted in or out.

Today I replaced the kitchen faucet. Not an extraordinary home repair, not even really plumbing, but god drat that old faucet nut was a 3-hour chore. 4 rounds of WD-40 and the purchase of a BASIN WRENCH, and its off.

the only thing I know about the military in the UK from when we had the contract to fix their printers is that they all hosed off for the week on Friday lunchtime, a fact we absolutely didn't share with our schedulers. So if we were given a call to go to a barracks at 2pm on a Friday it was a cue to go home because we weren't getting in to fix anything

I once had to ask a plumber that was at my place for something else to remove a hose from the front faucet. It was emasculating but I could NOT get that fucker off. When the plumber with his big ol bunch of tools practically gave up himself before finally breaking it free I felt vindicated a bit. It was clear I wasn't ever getting it done. I think it might have been on there for several decades before I moved in

ASVAP was mandatory here in AZ, or at least in my school, around 2000. I had thought about going into the Navy and trying to become a nuclear engineer long-term, so I gamed the test accordingly. Then decided to go to a state school since it’d be no cost to me without needing to commit to the military.

Yeah I have a bin of weird-rear end tools I will probably never need to use again because of one off plumbing repairs. Had to buy some special wrench to disassemble our shower hardware to fix a leaking faucet. Different special wrench to fix leaking kitchen faucet. Etc etc. Normally I will take any excuse to buy fun tools but unless you are literally a plumber I dunno when you would use stuff like this more than a couple times in your life. Maybe I can give them to my kids in like 20 years when they have their own lovely homes to maintain

If you’ve got the water turned off though, remember to try and replace as many old multi-turn valves as you can with quarter-turns. You’ll thank yourself later.

I got talked into taking the ASVAB by a recruiter and a couple of my friends, there were definitely questions I 100% guessed on because they were about car engines or other poo poo that was specific trade type knowledge and I still got a 97 on it. I can't imagine what it takes to get below a 30. But I also suspect the Rittenhouse thing is fake

I mean, I can't decide if it's more or less likely that an individual's ASVAB would be subject to a FOIA request, because it's sorta personal information, but also, why the gently caress wouldn't it be?

I probably took it in 2000 or early 2001, I find it a little hard to believe post war on terror the government doesn't want as many people as possible taking it though. I graduated in 2001 and lived in Pierce County and I never had to take the asvab???

I don’t think it’s specifically the ASVAP; I think it’s just they were looking for any history of military service, whether a military branch, a guard unit, etc. Maybe he himself had indicated he had been, or someone was just doing investigation. Either way, I’d assume that the person who responded with more information and mentioned the ASVAP results, probably did it in order to really stress how unacceptable he was and/or there’s no way he’d ever have qualified for service.

The ASVAB is not and never has been mandatory anywhere. However, "Many students take the test while still in high school, as recruiters often encourage them to explore all career options, including those in the military. Schools that administer the test may do so without parental knowledge and, while it may seem mandatory, students may opt to decline the test. " https://uniontestprep.com/asvab/resources/is-the-asvab-required christ what a country we live in e. https://www.npr.org/2010/07/30/128777298/looping-parents-in-on-armed-services-test quote:"They're able to give a test to 650,000 kids every year, and they do so largely without parental consent. I mean, 92 percent of the kids who took the test didn't have parental consent," Elder says. Leperflesh fucked around with this message at 22:22 on Apr 2, 2024 |

You do need to score a minimum to join, I found that out trying to figure out where and when it was mandatory for school students to take. Looks like the major branches require a 31 but Coast Guard wants a 40 and Air National Guard wants a 50, which seems weird to me. As people who've taken said, it's really loving easy. I sorta wonder if it was just a basic reading skills issue, because it's timed and It's been suggested that everyone looking at their phone all the time has stunted literacy in the current generation. When I took it I probably had a flip-phone with no internet, half my friends did not and not out of being able to afford it, just not caring for one.

Actually, thinking back I think it was less mandatory and more “if you’re at school you’re taking it.” I phoned it in and was like top 1% because it was a loving joke. Air Skwirl posted:Air National Guard wants a 50, which seems weird to me. You can’t be filling the ANG with poors and dummies—it’s a place for prep school fuckwads like W to dodge to draft or “serve in the armed forces” for their political campaign.

I took it in high school. I had friends take it twice to get a high enough score to get their MOS of preference. I was with some of the dumbest motherfuckers alive in the Army. I have no idea how anyone could fail that test in a way that would bar them from service barring having an actual mental disability.

Yeah, it’s annoying but in addition to being an unquestionable net positive for my mental health and wellbeing, I find petty spite is a perfectly valid reason to avoid getting an account, and if Elon’s gonna make it more difficult to read it’s just one more reason to avoid the cesspit entirely
