Words, words, words

I could write you a long post about the reserve side, and active side since you mentioned Molesworth, but my give-a-gently caress is at 0.1 with drill weekend just completed. All I can say is, welcome to the reserves, it only gets worse.

PS - With the Citibank problem, you learned a valuable lesson that no one cares about you and that if you don't look out for yourself you will be hosed money wise.

PPS - If your CO's favorite Doctor is a modern one, spit a nice one in his face. He'll know why.

So I signed for AECF Reserves today. Please tell me I didn't make a huge mistake.

You're probably going to be one of the guys I have to counsel about what to go RC->AD. Enjoy!

"The suspect, who was not identified, was not injured but two Navy civilian police officers were wounded by the ricochet of bullets." :lol:

They actually give those contract, rent-a-cops ammo? I thought they were like Barney Fifes.

Seeing as how the current events thread got gassed, just wanted to commend our JAG on yelling into the wind/brickwall in the Ferguson thread, you have the patience of a saint.

Edit: As a clarification, I don't want to bring that discussion here, just wanted to recognize someone weighing in with expert knowledge against a bunch of IANAL talk.

We have a PRIDE STORE where you can spend cash or company scrip.

I was interviewing at a large company in the DFW area here and they had some people from the tech group take two of us around to see the data center and other stuff afterward. When they said, "the company story is next to the cafeteria," I might have not stifled the laugh thinking of paying with script for polos and lanyards.

Got a call earlier tonight from a guy who worked for me at my last active command. Instead of being a selfish bastard who was just about to serve dinner (slow cooker beef stew) to my significant other, I answered.

He has less than a year left on his first term contract, just picked up First, and was getting those thoughts about reenlisting instead of getting out as planned and going back to college. Walked him through the idea that "you are doing what everyone normal person who is good at their job and doesn't totally hate the Navy does" and got him to think if 3 more years of steady pay would get him to his actual final goal. Almost certain, I was able to correct his course back to free money, wo/men, and university.

Prologue: Ate delicious dinner, have three leftover servings, drank wine, played Smash Bros, had adult fun time afterward.

Mission accomplished on all accounts. Drinking continues, going to switch to Far Cry 4 and cause mass extinction.

Happy Thanksgiving GiP Sailors, hope those on duty had people bring reheated turkey. For the rest of us, booze and gluttony.
