well you are right I probably wouldn't be a good nco with the way the army is ran now days. I would show people how to be responsible and how to not make excuses. Well I pretty much do that now by helping kids not buy cars and toys on credit and get in debt so they wouldn't have to worry if they don't get a paycheck in situations like this. I mean it has happened as close at 95 and people have already forgot the lessons learned about working for the .gov. I sacrifice my time to make sure people get home safe on weekends. I go through my chain of command and vouch for them putting myself on the line to make sure good soldiers don't get kicked out of the army as people in Washington say we have to shed so many soldiers in a certain time frame and poor leaders can figure out how to kick out the shitbags. Our definition of ignorance must be different, because I think it is ignorant to live check to check. (but more likely we don't know each other enough and you have taken what I have said as too harsh)

How about you hold onto it until we can get a couple freeway pulls in?

Actually it is great for me that I showed some self restraint with my money. For some reason I can't bring myself to feel bad for single income families, if you want your spouse to stay home and not earn an income prepare for the consequences of having to support 2 or more people on 1 persons income (ie not intelligent). Actually everyone should have a savings account to fend off no paycheck for a few weeks, (hell I am working on getting mine to at least a year) that isn't a luxury that is the burden of being an adult. It sucks I can't go blow my paycheck every week and just do whatever I want. Younger soldiers who do this are being let down by their team leaders if they aren't keeping up on their finances. (I mean I could go as far as that would be a security issue but lets not) And as for not being able to stay in their houses and pay bills you know there are many options they have to cover unexpected expenses like this that can't be forseen. I am sure someplace in our contract there is something neither of us read that says we have to work in exactly this situation now about the lawmakers and welfare retards getting their checks that is a different fucking story and burns the fuck out of me.

I think I might be the only person okay with the shutdown. All of us walk around and complained about dems/liberals/hippies/obama spending too much so we voted republicans back into office to reign them in. Now they can't come to an agreement and some politicians won't let the same shit slide by and continue happening even if it means that the Government shuts down. I am kind of happy to see this happen. I think that some of our dissent has risen up to the lawmakers that we are tired of huge bloated government.

No biggie, I was just making a straw purchase for the Mexican cartel

I can paypal you the money for it, but can't pick it up for a 2 weeks until I get home is that cool?

Thing is they are saying we will get back payed, so you will get paid just when they get it figured out. I have enough savings and back up to last longer than they can go so it doesn't really worry me. Sucks if you are living check to check cause you will get fucked, but that is one reason to have that bubble ready. Honestly, I am full time, so I would come in regardless to do the job I signed up for. If I am not getting paid I can't really go out and do anything on my free time anyways so I might as well come in and train.

they are saying 10 days sometime from easter on, if everyone wants to start getting ready we can do it when I get home. I will be bringing all my guns home

this is something that could be arranged within the next month or so while I have leave

its hard being an adult

whats wrong with daft punk

Maybe if they had a Les Stroud knife, only because I would want something I could depend on

Damn Jono, congrats man, let me know if you ever are on Bragg. That would be sweet if somehow I was in the back of a bird your were piloting

Dude my platoon sergeant just got selected for CAG back in aug, and he is a beast.

meh not really I just ate chow there for lunch, now the delta compound on the other hand

hmm that many nuclear power plants and only one accident the whole time? Doesn't seem that dangerous to me i think the one on the ohio river is near aberdeen, oh or maysville ky

midway for me too, super fast shipping so I didn't even have to think about customer service

DJ, is Loren's number still the same? I haven't talked to him in quite a while. Need to see what he has been up to

A long time ago Howard, if you still talked to your "old" friends you would have known that

is it lauren or loren? anyways yeah lauorenajkfjaljfdlaj; did everything from downunder except the steering wheel side,

if that was in cali they would have arrested the home owner for coming home too early

naive

long distance range, that is the only thing missing in Ohio, if you can do that you will have an edge, maybe some good classes,instructional stuff. Found a place down here ran by old long tabbers that does beginner/defense/tactical stuff for everything that I am going to start going to. There are a lot of places to buy guns in Columbus, including one of the better ones (Vances/Buckeye Outdoors) But there are no good ranges in Columbus to actually further someones desire to go beyond just plinking paper targets or shooting clays. Everything else you know about already

i took it and still haven't sent it in yet

try that but on a bike
