KFM, Step one is to ensure that you're visiting an officer recruiter, not an enlisted recruiter. After that, your job is pretty much going to be convincing him(her) that you're worth putting the time into for an application. You'll discuss jobs somewhere in there. Then you'll take the ASTB, and...

Maggie Q, Jessica Alba, Halle Berry, Thandie Newton, Rosario Dawson and several others would all like a word with you.... You really need to reconsider those sentiments like YESTERDAY

давай за что комрад? почему бепокойств о сарказме?

Better, watch every future Enlisted clam the fuck up the second the MEPS CO outs you to the inductees as an officer candidate. Though this one really cute marine suddenly became very interested in the two of us...

Congress dips into the surplus and then some to fund other projects. They leave IOUs in place and figure some other budget maker at some later date will put the money back in. This way they can that the budget deficit is something smaller than it really is. If you subtract the money taken out of...

I'm not saying that this is gay, but it's at the very least dangerously homosexical. Delete this, burn it, and just go with the second paragraph Didn't the army lose that recruiting slogan like 10 years ago? This essay really needs to be redirected. Tell them exactly what you bring that no...

I'm not saying that we will run out of food, I'm saying that forcing farmers to compete themselves out of business will hasten the day when we have to start importing food. Second, if we import it, it's one more facet of foreign policy to consider without independence, or another entangling...

Incorrect. They don't make a profit back for themselves, but many that I can think of provide immeasurable externalities and probably enhance tax revenues through the businesses that can depend on their delivering customers or supplies. EX: The NYC Subway loses money at $2 per ride, but every...

Full disclosure, I'm not an MD. Generally, if you have to ask if it's okay to drink after a procedure or during treatment, the answer is no unless expressly approved by the guy who did the cutting.

Fixed my post

Yea. But I also cheated a bit. My professor/boss had a similar poster up in her office...

I agree. Yes I decided my sister's education beat my insurance. I accept that as a lifestyle choice (DADT jokes will be ignored) and I'm not asking for you to pay for it. I wouldn't ask for a handout from you in person, and I won't support making the government take it from you via the IRS. What...

Agreed. I'm waiting for the follow-up thread two years from now. Any takers on it being something like: "My fiancee wants to call it off because someone showed her a photo of my squadron at a bar in Taiwan, I wasn't even drinking that night!"

See bold. My concern remains that it is in the national interest to have a healthy workforce. The point remains that most bankruptcies for 20-30 year olds are due to medical expenditures, and in the mid-twenties, a bankruptcy can alter one's entire financial life. How can we claim to be a...

That's a bit over generalized, and very harsh. What about one such as myself? Because I'm underemployed and not yet in the Navy, I'm uninsured. I simply can't afford a plan for 6 months after food, business expenditures, helping with my sister's education, etc etc etc. I work as often as I can...

Yes, Russians on the whole tend to accept racism as a fact of life. I had a GF from there who referred to black people as monkeys in casual conversation. She didn't last long once that habit manifested... Yeah, still photos tend to support that as well

Idk if the armed forces and people of california are united http://www.thedailyshow.com/watch/mon-march-10-2008/marines-in-berkeley

Things you really would want to consider adding would include leg lifts (wherein you keep your back on the floor and raise your legs). This targets lower abs. Your sides can be targeted a few different ways. Side crunches immediately come to mind, wherein you lay on your side, with your lower...

If it were only one side of your body, I'd wonder if it were digestive pains from eating too heavily soon before running. More hydration more frequently, and lighter meals before running might be in order. Out of curiosity, how is your core strength. Not just situps, but side ups and back...

You're welcome, Jynx

Important Question: Do you get more points for pulling the FA while she's working than you lose for hitting a plus sizer sober?

C'mon, like you wouldn't? Look at that thing! I still can't believe she wasn't embarrassed to admit to keeping the dress. What kinda nasty skank wouldn't make a bee line for the dry cleaners or throw out the dress asap? How again do these things relate to nukes/Russian relations?

Troll Bring on the mod squad.

While I agree with you that we can use this force imbalance as quite a hardball negotiating tactic, I have to disagree with you on this. Russia is currently experiencing massive Chinese immigration issues north from China into Siberia. Why is Russia not happy about this? Because that part of...

@ Phill_hacker, Please do, I'd be interested to read it if it's for public consumption.

It's not that one such as myself is uncomfortable with deadly force. My chosen profession and my H&K would indicate otherwise. However, I've lovingly maintained and practiced with that firearm for 5 years in low light, quick draw, off hand shooting, etc. The OP has not, and is new to self...

When it's about $300 http://www.personalsecurityandsurveillancesystems.com/cart.php?target=product&product_id=344&category_id=11 Though replacement cartridges can be a bit pricey...

Just to add numbers to the debate, Russia is pushing for about 500 launchers, the low end of the START range. They and we have about 1500 apiece. However, we will be able to maintain 1500. They will be forced to drop to about 500 due to budget cuts within ten years. Bevo is right. If I can...

Yep, our economy is increasingly like theirs...aka a very limited number of very influential people able to change laws as necessary to protect their interests and monopolies, only to have the government buy their bad investments in the guise of saving the overall economy. The Goldman Sachs...

Another important thing to consider is does your defense have to be lethal? There are two reasons for asking that, 1. You can get tazers and mace very quickly and very cheaply, even if it's just while waiting for something a little more assertive. Better to have something at all whilst waiting...

What your best bet is, go to a nearby gun store and ask the guy there. It's his business to know exactly what you can and can't have, and how to go about getting it. Unless a guy/girl here lives in your state and has been through the process himself.

Absolutely stunning tale. Thanks for spreading it.

Anybody want to do an over/under as to how long the mod squad will let this thread drag on? Otto, I think BUDU is merely speculating as to a motive, not trying to give the OP false hopes or a way out. We all know he put pen to paper, and all of us have limited if any sympathy. Edit: BUDU...

First things first I suppose. Now that you're ready, you need to know that she's got other people to attend to as well. If your package is being prepared, it will get done as fast as you both can do it. You may have e-mailed her and called, but how long have you given her to respond? A day...

From personal experience, these things go ALOT more smoothly if you're upfront about it. Let your OR know about it now, and provide the Attorney's letter and case report if you can and if he needs it. That way he can take care of any snafu's now rather than have them creep up on you later when...

In as flame retardant a manner as possible, First, you did swear an oath, you should really consider very carefully if that's the sort of thing you're willing to start your professional life by breaking. Secondly, you have all of your life to settle in one place, work corporate America, or self...

Lemme understand here... They were on a warship, in the middle of the ocean, and atop the pool table made the "strange locations" list? That reeks of small thinking to me.

Well done on your scores! If you crunch the numbers, you'll find you've put yourself in the 95%+ range on astb

/threadjack ...This is a bad thing? Depending on your location, try yourself some slow cooked Ropa Vieja at Romeos or that place in the grove, Culebrinas. Guarantee you'll stave off the true bbq urges for at least a week or two.* *But only if you throw in the yuca and platanos.. /end threadjack

Doesn't Mil Service fall under the category of Public Service? We are paid by the federal gov't after all. I rather assumed so, so I find it funny they had to elaborate on that point in that list. Edit, they apaprently list the military as a not for profit private concern. "A private...

I think this program only applies to public service, unless I've misread it. Granted, Citi and BofA are public enterprises now, but I don't think their employees will be eligable as I understand the law.

ARRA? I'll have to look into that. What do you give grants in? I ask because my ex, a biochem major, was told the grant money wasn't coming from private sources anymore, and without it she was SOL. My dad correlated, saying his Psych research dept. was freezing pay and not hiring any one new.

While I'm sure there will abusers of the idea, you do still have to be a public servant, which means you are working somehow. Whether or not your work is actually a service to the public depends on the individual job though, doesn't it? On the other hand, I think the risk of abuse is worth...

Here ya go I think you have the good bones for a statement. My only two comments would be to first think of a punchier opening statement. After that, consider your self description. "Unparalleled" and "Exemplary" are strong words, but not quantifiable. Maybe you can use quotes from your evals...

It's by height? I stand corrected.

The Navy tests you by taking your weight, the circumference of your neck, and the circumference of your waist. They then apply magical hocus pocus, and declare X%. Going back to the other stuff, mind that when you're lifting upper body, you don't neglect the other portions of yourself. I'm a...

Congrats!

If you know that you'll get the BDCP, take the class. Get in as early as possible, IMO

The trick is you gotta get down to it. If you are constantly chewing on something, you don't notice. It's like, eat your eggs. Then pocket the apples and take 'em to class or what not. Drink alot of water in the afternoon for the fullness. Mind, It's taken me a long time to get down to this, but...

Tell me about it. I'm freaking starving. But rope and choke is really, really, embarrassing for me, so I'm doing my level best. Example: Breakfast is an apple or two, and two scrambled eggs:180 + 200 cals Lunch is 6oz of chicken, baked, brown rice for carbs. 500 cals Dinner is a proten bar with...
