The US military actually goes against most of my personal beliefs... but, if you can't beat 'em from the outside, change 'em from the inside? [2012-06-20 17:07:55 UTC] good luck with that last bit [2012-06-20 17:08:44 UTC] i was flying a lot more around the beginning of the iraq war, and would ask every soldier i met in airports that same question [2012-06-20 17:08:47 UTC] most of them said #3 [2012-06-20 17:09:41 UTC] also i almost joined up right out of HS, but my local recruiters were total flakes [2012-06-20 17:11:51 UTC] no-show no-called when they were supposed to take me to asvab, twice. i roflpwnd the practice one, between my flawless victory and my g-pop's connex was going to go into intel, analyzing recon photos to start [2012-06-20 17:12:10 UTC] sounded like a cool job, besides having to join the army [2012-06-20 18:18:58 UTC] Do continue...

[2012-06-20 20:45:44 UTC] so anyways [2012-06-20 20:45:53 UTC] gpop, ocs, into intelligence from there [2012-06-20 20:46:04 UTC] was an army liason for "diplomats" for a while [2012-06-20 20:46:18 UTC] was an intel analyst for a while [2012-06-20 20:47:48 UTC] worked with the development and implementation of subcutaneous injection gun, as a manager [2012-06-20 20:48:56 UTC] did 20 yrs, including tours in vietnam (he was shot at a few times from a distance, but he was not a combat troop and didn't ever fire back) [2012-06-20 20:49:25 UTC] then retired, went to work for gov't contracted thinktank, doing the same damn thing just as a civvie, realized he was tired of it [2012-06-20 20:49:29 UTC] became a long-hall trucker [2012-06-20 20:49:38 UTC] did that for a few years, while living in florida [2012-06-20 20:49:53 UTC] then discovered orcas island here in NW WA [2012-06-20 20:50:00 UTC] bought a bed and breakfast there, moved cross country [2012-06-20 20:50:13 UTC] my mom and i came with them on that move [2012-06-20 20:50:15 UTC] i was 2 [2012-06-20 20:50:31 UTC] my earliest memory is the tiniest snippet from the cross-country drive, a piece of CB chatter [2012-06-20 20:51:36 UTC] both of my parents were in the army, but my dad was just a diesel mechanic, and my mom was an NCO in artillery, she was basically just a clerk/manager. [2012-06-20 20:54:01 UTC] that rly is all there is to MY army story, tho. aced practice asvab. had to drop like 6 lbs, which i did. after that was scheduled for the recruiter to pick me up and take me to official asvab, they no-showed. i called back, rescheduled, got a light token "whoops!" but not even a real apology [2012-06-20 20:54:07 UTC] then they no-showed a second time [2012-06-20 20:54:15 UTC] and i said fahgedaboudit [2012-06-20 20:56:19 UTC] recruiter was trying to push me into translation but my practice asvab qualified me for 96 bravoooo [2012-06-20 20:56:23 UTC] which would be pretty cool imo [2012-06-20 20:56:59 UTC] 97b would also be cool i think, i doubt im clever enough though [2012-06-20 20:57:04 UTC] but i really like the idea of cointel [2012-06-20 20:57:17 UTC] information control is sexy
