Vets in college- take one class with the specific intention of loving with people. I took Ethics in Peace and Conflict and was the only Vet. They joy I had loving with all the kids (loving 18/19 liberal arts majors) was ridiculous. Saying poo poo similar to the previously mentioned child killing jokes was stupid fun. Plus, the hippie chick asked me to lunch afterwards. Good times. If you find out about a bunch of other Vets, see if they want to join in. A group in one of my classes decided that during a debate we would take further and further extreme positions, trying to one up each other in ridiculousness. Seriously, make sure to have fun in your classes.

Why do that when you can use that elective to chase tail? Take a Public Relations class. PR, at least at my school, was 99% women and gay dudes.

Cole posted:I went up to the school today. People were dressed in slacks, collared shirts. Looking like classy people. Considering I showed up for classes in board shorts and a t-shirt, I would say ditch the grease stains/brake dust. But other wise, its pretty legit. There was a girl in my A&P 2 class who showed up in flannel pj pants, babydoll nightie for a top and carried a pillow (complete with baby ducks pillow case on it) two of the three days a week class met. People who dress up for college are tools. Nostalgia4Infinity posted:Hell you don't even need to say the first part. I was accused of literally gunning children for sport. When I said I was a mechanic in the Air Force and never went within 1000 miles of a war zone I was instead accused of being complacent in the gunning down of children. I always said something to the effect of "yep and it was god drat fun" when they started that bullshit with me. It was like you could watch their train of thought go full Sunset Limited.

The only time I've identified myself as a veteran to the class was during my first semester in a communications course where one of my speeches was about how my beard is a symbol of my freedom from the army and therefore my most prized possession. Other than that, I've told a handful of random seat neighbors when small talk gets around to what I did before school. Most were cool except one kid who asked if I killed anyone and another who got really passive aggressive with me when I explained what the gi bill did. My main reason for staying under the radar is that I've only met two veterans since I started school that were pleasant to be around. I'm not here to swap war stories with some dude I've known for 30 seconds, just because we were both in the military doesn't mean we have to be best buds now.

Slim Pickens posted:I liked bringing up the GI bill just to piss off other students going into huge debt for their art school diploma I did a couple semesters at a community college for prereqs and poo poo, and had to wait in line to pay my fees and poo poo. Usual price was about $1600 a semester, and then fees. Since CT had a tuition waiver for vets (this was before post 9/11), my cost for all my stuff was like 100 bucks, after I reminded them I was a vet. The glares I got on the way out from people in the line behind me almost made enlisting worth it.

Just saw a dude on campus two days in a row now rocking blue jeans and one of these combat shirts: ...complete with unit patches, rank insignia and even name tapes velcroed on shoulders. The fact that he's wearing it is bad enough but holy gently caress guy

Should have thanked him for his service and told him you had a cousin who almost joined the Air Force but he couldn't get his GED or some dumb poo poo. That, or your CoD character has the same shirt pretty cool right? So, how many people did you kill? Are those real Oakleys?
