I'm down with bowling.
I'm down with bowling.
Now I don't think I'll be able to make it, I did something to my eye and thought it would be healed but it still isn't, so I've got to go see some specialist about it. If it's better I'll try to make it out.
Not going to make it this meet either.
Aaaaand my right hand control arm is fucked. It's knocked in about 1/2".
I wish I could get out and go bowling on Friday night. Again, I have to work OT early saturday morning. Oh well. Looks like I'll only have to endure this job till January... then its off to basic training and then AIT possibly for Network Specialist. Yeah...I'm joining the Army. I take the ASVAB on tuesday.
probably the economy. thats why so many people are joining the service. jobs are hard to come by- the military is a secure job for the most part...

Anyone wanna buy a sol?![]()
"The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself."
so im taking it as a no for bowling by general consensus.
on another note, my sister's water broke this morning........so within 24 hours ill be an uncle.
was thinking something like 7 oclock, but it turns out i might be driving down to tallahassee
He is a friend of mine...
But he didn't know I was on here...
I guess he knows somebody else at the meet and went once...
Then Joe told him about the site...
Just txted him... It's cuz he's 17...
And what's the final deal with the meet?
I would say, no meet tonight. No one will probably show up.
i MIGHT swing by around 10-1030 if somebody's gonna be there?
Bacon?
Steve?
Dumont?
Corbin?
i'd need to know before 10 because its not exactly on my way home, id make a specail trip out.

I'm planing on coming out steve
I chose to join b/c I'm tired of having a job. I want a CAREER. No where else can I get a paycheck and learn a trade at the same time. Plus, being a father of 3 kids I have to look out for them. In the Army you get free medical, free dental and get numerous benifits and discounts.
My father served 30 years so I'm used to the lifestyle. I want my kids to have the benifits I did growing up. I honestly can say that even if the economy was good I'd prolly still be joining the Army.
Good luck on your choice there man. Better get shaped up, I heard basic training ain't exactly a walk to the park.
Another dead meet
And made myself look like an idiot with the rumor that Cory had an ls something
sorry i bailed guys. I had someplace i needed to be. I'll make it up to yous in a couple weeks!

Whatever you do DO NOT trust your recruiter no matter how much they seem like a nice person. They will tell you anything you want to hear. Also do not volunteer for anything while in basic. Stay low key as possible, Trust me on this. And def do not reply that you like any type of sport if the TI asks you, its a setup, again trust me.

^^ how so? why? explain? lol

Yeah, for real. Please do explain.
Maybe I should come out and invite a buttload of people......for the hell of it. This meet seems like it needs a rivival.

....just kidding. I have a S2000 now
I was talkin to a recruiter also... But for the marines...
My dad told me exactly what Schroeder said...
He said don't trust the promises unless written...
I'm really thinking about the reserves
Okay, so I quit smoking a few days ago, not having any cravings... but I have the worst damn cough. WTF backwards?
The Recruiter will tell you what you want to hear just to get you to sign up. Because once you sign on the dotted line( well more like the one hundred dotted lines) they got you. Your best bet is to talk to some friends who have been in the Army or someone they know and ask them questions.
And as for the sports reference, they will ask you if you like bowling and you reply well fuck yea, who doesn't? And next thing you know your cleaning toilet bowls. Shit like that.
Your best bet is to stay under everyones radar and cruise through basic. In my experience I saw that most people who ended up volunteering for shit got screwed. Wait till you've been in long enough to see the pain train coming down the tracks before you volunteer for anything.
When you leave for basic have a short but not skin tight haircut. No hippie ass long hair or crazy hairstyles. Also wear blue jeans (or blue jean shorts) and a plain black, or blue T-shirt. You DO NOT want to draw any attention to yourself when you step off that bus. You're already gonna get it bad enough, and you don't want to make the TI fuck with you any harder.
When I got off the bus there was a guy with mid-back length hair and a Mis-fits T-shirt right in front of me. Holy shit did they fuck with that guy relentlessly. He ended up getting the worst "Duty" imaginable while we were in Basic. He was the Chow hall runner. He had to go in and report to the "Snake-pit" (where all of the Training Instructors sat) everytime before our Flight could go in to eat. He might as well have emptied porta-potties with all the shit he catched from them.
Now of course I was Air Force (which in my mind is the best service to go in but I wont fuck with you about that) and you're Army so it will be different. But I gotta imagine some shit is the same.
Start running your ass of now. Do a million sit-ups and push-ups. Get a backpack and put 100 pounds of shit in it and go on a 5 mile hike through a swamp. Do this as much as possible cause you will be doing this shit on a regular basis. I have a few friends who went Army and they constantly bitch about the forced hikes and marches. You will hate life.
But remember its all a head game. The whole reason for them doing that shit to you is to break you down and rebuild you mentally the way they want you. They do not want you to ask questions when you are told to do something. They want you to react and do exactly what they said. The most trivial shit in your mind is a huge deal to them. The way you tie your boots, the way you button your BDU's, the way you fold clothes, and the way you setup your wall locker are all major issues. They want to make sure you can follow the simplist of orders.
Your gonna hear this line a million times going through basic, PAY ATTENTION TO DETAIL!!!
Listen to and do EXACTLY what they say, To the T, and remember its all a big head game, and you'll be just fine.
Oh and one last thing, There isn't any goddamn Saltpeter in the fucking water or food. It's all a goddamn myth. You might not know what I'm talking about now, but you will when you get there and have been there for a few days.

My father served 30 years in the Army. IF that isn't a good person to talk to I don't know who is. He, of all people, won't feed me bullshit.
