stayed up til 6ish arguing with keef and kody about joining the military. still no decision but i'm going to try to get in to take the asvab this month or early next
( Read more... )
And in case I lose that, I bet you ten more that I am revolted by your decision. Nothing against our "fallen" heroes. Ever notice soldiers never die they just "fall?" and apparently never get up. I wonder if guys in the military stumble or trip and then one guy says "Private Jones fell." and another guy goes "You mean he's... he's ... fallen?" And the guy goes "No, he's alive, he literally just fell."
Does two posts make me a livejournal stalker?

the day after I met you I was mentioned on the Howard Stern show - near-brushes with fame.
i am not considering joining for glory or honor or patriotism at all. i am not doing a great job at running my life and i feel strongly that i can learn some lessons there. i am terrified of debt and i dont work very long hours at my job anymore since we aren't making too much money during this slow time (my boss charges a lot for some stuff, plus the mall is extremely empty) so military would give me a way to use skills that i know i have and put them to better use than acting as superhuman mission control for a cheap, miniature version of stalin.
plus you never have to worry about whether or not you will get to eat that day, where to get your clothes, when you are going to find time to do laundry....everything is tightly scheduled. i really need some kind of stiff structure in my life at the moment :\

Oh yes, and they can also tell you to kill people you've never met nor have any reason to kill. And if you don't they can throw you in the brig. THE BRIG I tell you
there is just as much chance that i will get killed in the street by someone i have never met =P and i highly doubt they would put me in combat. i'm too much of a basket case.
