I post in gip because I, for all intents and purposes, try not to interact with anything military related in my day-to-day. I mentally checked out of the military months before I actually got out. I get annoyed by people who leave the service, but never actually leave the service mentally. They are always stuck there and everything in their life revolves around that period where they wore a uniform, even years later. “When I was in the military” is a phrase that will cause me to immediately roll my eyes. This forum lets me interact with people who understand what it’s like to be in the military, and understand how that can really gently caress with you. While I try to avoid it as much as possible in my life outside of the forums, it’s still something I want to be able to reach out to if necessary. Plus, sometimes I just get lonely and there are a bunch of assholes here I can talk to. As far as the taboos, I grew up on SA. I’ve been posting here since I was 16 (31 now). Fag, retard, even the n-word were pretty regular about 15 years ago (the n-word was mostly in FYAD). The forum was basically an edgy middle schooler. It’s grown up and most of us have as well.

you're looking at it as an outsider, so it's easier for you to spot any nuances we may have in how we communicate. we are embedded in it and it just is what it is. it would be like me trying to describe the sound of my own voice, only i've never heard it anywhere except out of my own mouth. e: i don't want that to sound unhelpful. you've piqued my interest in what you're doing. i just want to offer some insight about why it would be difficult for me personally (and maybe others) to answer your question.

My five years in the military were no more or less important than my five years in high school.

Flikken posted:I love Mustang and Vasdus. They serve as bulwarks to remind people hey ummm, look at this. I am only 95% sure that Mustang is a real person and 5% sure he is another IDR except instead of trying to be Rambo he went the complete opposite direction and is trolling us by living the dumbest military experience possible.

Wroughtirony posted:So the paper is done. I ended up writing just about GIP because by the time I got down to explaining what a Lowtax was, I was in too deep to give FB a similar treatment without running onto 20 pages. I did not get to use nearly as many of the awesome quotes as you guys gave me as I wanted. If anyone wants to read the whole bloody thing I'll send it to you. You’ve got me curious. RCfnova @gmail

I had an economics/accounting paper I worked on as an undergrad published in an academic journal. It’s not an incredibly high bar to clear if you’re willing to submit it and make the requested revisions. Most people just don’t try. E: I got your email and I will be giving it a read sometime after work today.
