Sitting in ACAP right now. The guy that's presenting is monotonous as gently caress and keeps repeating himself. What a waste of my time. At least I'm not at work though. He honestly doesn't give any actual information that is helpful. Just parrots what's on the slides, including saying, "Aych Tee Tee Pee"

We have a sign-in sheet in the morning and afternoon each day. I have appointments most afternoons for physical therapy. They're telling people that we can't miss more then an hour the entire week. I gives no fucks about that. There's no way I can come to a week long class without having three appointments during that week.

There's constant talk of resume building, which I could care less about since my plan is to go to school and spend disability on weed. However, we spend most of the class listening to retards share personal stories only tangentially related to the subjects at hand, retarded hypothetical situations about "networking", and failing worse than a ninth grade drama class at improv when told to come up with skits about making phone calls looking for jobs.

e: some kid is asking about using LinkedIn to become a DJ in the barracks. Apparently he goes by DJ HeatCat or some poo poo because he's a prior heat casualty. :psyduck: Why are you feeling the need to share all of this?

e again: this counselor is a shining example of what not to do and furthers my belief that "guidance counselors" and the like are some of the dumbest people out there with a job that exists simply to exist

I was contacted for a position at AMU's NOC a few months back. It would have been the pinnacle of officerness - screwing over enlisteds both in and out of the service.

"I was sitting right there where you are now X years ago, so trust me when I say that..."

What the gently caress do you expect me to do, congratulate you on continuing to fail upwards into even greater heights of mediocrity? Commiserate with you on how loving retarded you are for staying at Drum? This preface is the biggest disclaimer for anything that follows, a thunderous cry of, "Please ignore all of my advice and thinly-veiled shilling for the flavor of the month for-profit "college".

God damnit. I'd be even more pissed, but at least I'm getting the gently caress away from work.

EDIT: I have realistically planned out the next 4-6 years in detail, with contingencies built in. GO AWAY.

My plan is to get enough credits from a community college in order to transfer into a four year school, since my GPA is hosed from my first attempt at college. From there it's an accounting degree and internship, then either work on a Master's degree of get a job.

But to get there I've got to not kill myself/my leadership before I get out, which according to my physical therapist I need to see my orthopedic surgeon and have him start a med board for me. I'll probably write up a long effort post tomorrow and either post it here or the QP thread.

As annoying as it was to be an artillery officer in an infantry unit, I felt way worse for the tab-less infantry guys. They received hourly "lol why are you here shitbag" reminders from all sources, E2 to O5. D co was of course the hugbox for the tab-less folks, same as the fat junior NCOs and unpopular senior NCOs hated by all, but totally un-fireable in the light infantry days of the late 00's. We had an armorer try to eat his way out of a deployment but he worked too hard at his job to really commit to getting chaptered.

Truer words have never been spoken about a D co in light infantry

An idiot in my platoon has pretty much guaranteed that those of us living in the barracks will now have a poo poo ton more room inspections. Normally, I just throw on a movie or some music during those, but I want to try something different. I'm thinking that I'll have a nasheed playing, change my computer background to the ISIS flag, and have Chrome open to a bunch of jihadi looking sites. The problem I have though, is figuring out which sites would look the worst, without getting too carried away with it. Any suggestions?

Find the video where 3 dudes dressed up like pterodactyls are all railing the same girl at once. That's probably one of the funniest videos (porn or not) that I've ever seen, and you can thank a weird navy guy I knew for showing it off to everyone in our tent. He's the reason I know about fart-fetish porn, too :gonk:

How about a combination of pterodactyl porn, cakefarting, and shake that bear? SA definitely introduced me to the latter two, but I had some strange friends when I was in high school that let me know all about the pterodactyls.

Yeah, because it's not like extremist organizations are frowned upon in the Army. I'm sure your leadership is up on their First Amendment jurisprudence and will respect your free speech rights. Surely they won't determine that your perusing of ISIS websites is against good order and discipline. Just kidding, you are an idiot. Just put on some good clean pterodactyl porn.

Point well taken. I just started watching that drat video again, and it's even better than I remember.

I'll forego my usual "lol ur still in" and ask it genuinely. Why are any of you still in? We all know how gay the army is, I saw the writing on the wall in 2010 and got the gently caress out as soon as I could. I'm guessing most of you will respond with "I still have four more years to go" or something to that effect but is anyone staying in regardless if they still have a ton of time left?

I'm only in now to finish out my med board. Paperwork is up at the PEB currently before heading out to Seattle so the VA can perform their blood ritual of assigning disability ratings. My PEBLO is optimistic and tells me it will be two more months.

Two months? You must not be far from Seattle.

I say that because I'm pretty sure they walk your ratings from Seattle to your duty station on foot. My med board tool roughly 16 months and I was done with all ratings-related appointments by the third month. I spent over a year waiting on my ratings.

It was worth the wait, but there were several times where I was legit suicidal because I felt like o was just treading water with nothing to loving do.

That's my understanding. And I'm taking his guess of two months with huge grains of salt. So far I'm about three and a half months in, so my guess is I'll be out around March or so next year
