My future weekend warrior occupation

[Sanis Prent]

I haven't fully made up my mind (and thankfully, I have a year to prepare for it, so no rush), but when I graduate, what should my derogatory title end up as?

[Shawn]

You're a grunt, through and through.

[AmazonBabe]

Definitely a grunt.

And now, for some odd reason, I'm seeing those lil green Orcs from WC2 running around... also called Grunts. :p

[Sanis Prent]

I should've set the options up as:

Roger.
Aye sir.
Hooah.
OO-AH!

:)

[Nathanial K'cansce]

Anything that squirts ink and has 8 arms with a freakish alien type body is great. Derogatory or not, squids rock. :cool

[Daiquiri Van-Derveld]

you said 'derogatory'....so you got it, Squid-boy! :p

[Sanis Prent]

:lol I'm the only one who chose Marine!

[Dae Jinn]

I didn't know squid meant a navy person, but...Charley in a little sailor suit is just funneh :D *hums the Village People song!*

[Sanis Prent]

I threw air force and navy in there out of the barest of courtesies. I shall never serve in those services, no offense to those who do. I'd rather keep my boots on the ground, thx. :)

[Lilaena De'Ville]

JAR HEAD!!

:D Marines roxors :)

GOD WAS HERE BEFORE THE MARINE CORPS...SO YOU CAN GIVE YOUR HEART TO JESUS, BUT YOUR <smallfont color={hovercolor}>-Censored-</smallfont> BELONGS TO THE CORPS!

[Sanis Prent]

[Sanis Prent]

This is true. I wish he did that. The second half of it is dreadfully lame.

I would love to be R. Lee Ermey. I mean...the raw, unadulturated fear that I could instill in 95% of human beings...that would be so intoxicating. Just to wear the power of mortal fear, the way someone wears cheap cologne.

[Figrin D'an]

Jar-head.


At least you're not from Texas... ;)

[Sanis Prent]

HOLY DOG-<smallfont color={hovercolor}>-Censored-</smallfont>, ONLY STEERS AND QUEERS COME FROM TEXAS, PRIVATE COWBOY...AND YOU DON'T LOOK LIKE NO STEER!

:D

[Figrin D'an]

THANK YOU VERY MUCH, CAN I BE IN CHARGE FOR A WHILE?!


ARE YOU SCARED, ARE YOU NERVIOUS?! DO I MAKE YOU NERVIOUS?!


:)

[Vinny Red]

OHHHHHHHH YOU"RE derogatory title. i was saying I'd be a flyboy. wel lthat's fine. But i dont' see Private pain in the <smallfont color={hovercolor}>-Censored-</smallfont> :-P

[Sanis Prent]

Sorry I wasn't able to get your IM until later Vinny...but yeah, this isn't a joke. Really going through with this :)

[Charley]

Jar-head it is. I went down to the local office, and gave the man my particulars. I'll go into reserve duty in June '04.

Sooo....I've got 14 months to get ready for the Corps! Kinda pumped, kinda scared. I've got to kick my own <smallfont color={hovercolor}>-Censored-</smallfont>, and bust myself back into shape. I'd rather do it myself than have a DI do it for me.

[Figrin D'an]

You made a good choice. :)

I have a cousin who is a jar-head, though far from the stereotype. He's a tech-geek, to be sure. He specializes in communcations systems, and is over in Iraq as we speak. He's a career guy, though, not in the reserves. He's told me some pretty interesting stories over the years...

[Charley]

Depending on how crappy the financial job scene is, I may decide to go active duty for a while when I graduate...no idea yet.

[Charley]

I love Ryla! :D

[Dasquian Belargic]

ooo - lookin sharp! :D

[Cassidy Williams]

I saw a flock of Marines marching once.

They look good :D

[Charley]

^_^;

[Wei Wu Wei]

A kid I went to high school with recently graduated from the Marine Corps boot camp. His little brother says he's so rough about everything. EVERYTHING MUST BE DONE NOW! HOP TO! and all that Jazz. I don;t know a thing about the military.

[Charley]

Yeah, I know a lot of people in the Corps. It changes your whole paradigm, and lights a fire under you. I've seen total wastoid jerk-offs get shipped out to Parris Island and come back like completely different people. I'm sure I'll get reborn hard. The only thing that will be weird is that I'll be going through the Corps officer candidacy program, due to my college degree. They will more than likely commission me at Second Lieutenant...this is about normal for the OCP participants. At the very least, I'll get a commission as a warrant officer, and still have rank over enlisted men and NCOs (non-commissioned officers). This includes privates, corporals, sergeants, and all categories between.

[Saccharine Jones]

...So glad you like him! :) I cleaned up some edges for you:

I saw the same motivation in some of my classmates as well, which was totally strange because they were, as you said, mostly jerk-offs and now they are so different. Really gives you a new perspective, and you get all these skills, you learn more in your time in than most people learn all of their life.

[Dae Jinn]

I had a crush on a guy who joined the Marines. When he came back for Christmas *drools* So buff! I think he was kicked out for selling drugs though ^_^;

[Lilaena De'Ville]

:lol I love that story, Dae. ;)

Charley - best of luck. I know/have known a lot of Marines, and the one thing that is for sure is that your ego will inflate by 1000%.

:D

[Sanis Prent]

Then I fear for all of you :)

[Lilaena De'Ville]

Your head will swell up and keeel everry one!
