That was out of line, and if you're a man, you'll apologize. And looks like you're blaming others
for the consequences of your own actions. I could go on, but I don't think it would be productive.

Travis, I think that in a way you may have lucked out. You are exactly the wrong type of
personality for the military, and that isn't necessarily a bad thing. I find too many military
people to be very cynical. I'm afraid you might not have enjoyed your stay. It's a tough group.
BTW, I would think your discharge would be general since you never got that far into the
process. I don't see why you don't go to college for a degree in IT. It's easy to be a college
bum. You can work the Pell and state grant systems so that it is not only free, but it pays you
to be there. A part time job working for the university can take care of the rest. By the time
you are finished you will have a marketable degree and all your current troubles will be so far
behind you that nobody will care about them.

I tried college, and it didn't agree with me. detecting personalities over the internet is fairly
inaccurate. I believe I will not only do well in the military, but have great success.

~Travis

If your swimming's good and you can stand to get [censored] on to warm up, join the Navy and try out
for SEALs.

Seriously, what about a security guard? Since 9/11 they've been hiring everywhere: libraries,
welfare offices, mattress factories, nursing homes, you name it, there's a security guard
wandering around.

I've been through 3 or 4 *very exhaustive* background checks & in-depth interviews that I know I
have to tell the truth. I'm not clever and devious enough to keep fabricated stories straight. It's
a good thing to just tell truth. That way you don't have to remember your story,and for better or
worse, you protect your integrity and peace of mind.

o well. Paladin

actually, it worked just fine. it's just my granny ain't high tech enough to have a scanner, so I
had to scan it at home, pop it on a floppy, and upload it to a free webhost.

yes, it looks fake. I asked the guy at MEPS about it when he printed it out on a bubble-jet printer
and laminated it. guess that makes no difference, I get a new, and better one when I go active.

it is mainly if I want to take a tour of a base, I have some proof of enlistment (other than my
contract).

It's just so lame. All of it. If it were real, it might be sad. But it still wouldn't be funny.

A major moron like that, pulling 20-hour shifts on helo turnaround? Please. If I were AC, I'd get my
insurance paid up right quick if he were my CC. Or I'd seriously consider turning in my wings.

MJV's [censored] is LOL funny, it's so whacked out. Trav's [censored] is just plain stupid. Whoever said "Forest
Gump" has got the right idea, except Trav doesn't have ANY kind of talent or honor, from what I've
seen in this NG.

The never-ending "what part should I buy" is at least on-topic, if tiresome. His B.S. is just
that - B.S.
