TET: I would talk 500 pages, and I would talk 500 more

[Auremena]

And you would have that "Surprise! I have a gun too!" factor if you have it concealed.

The surprise is not particularly effective if the redneck shoots first.

Appearing defenseless, along with the surprise factor, buys some time. I doubt one would be much smarter than just standing across the street and blasting the place with a shotgun or throwing a molotov through the door, since the sightings are bad for a longer shot. At least from this store. In the other, it's a different story.
If I was sent to work at a different store, I have three in mind, I highly doubt I'd have any issue though due to there being nothing but tourists able to visit them. Highly doubt a redneck would pursue me over there.

Morning.

Selamat Pagi.

Whatever that means.

Fuck that. Hell, I'm not a good representation of it, but there's a literal fuck-ton of jobs in the military that with enough research turn out to be pretty damn good jobs.

If I was to go into the military I'd try to land into Intelligence or Telecommunications. Seems more interesting to me.

You'd become one of the most hated people in the military, next to MP's.

Hell, every one deploys, but a lot of jobs stay on FOB's. They never leave the wire, and work in actual workspaces with AC and mortar proof bunkers nearby.

Yep, they get sent somewhere. Even if it's just floating around various bases throughout the world.

Yeah. POG's.

I'd recommend using this year's taxes from your parents then. And I recommend filling them out by November if you want to plan on early and call Universities and Colleges (big, small, community) so that you can fill an "early registration" form once you are satisfied.

Several colleges let you apply as early as December. So, somewhere in November is when you should have that done.

I received a free application in the mail from Johnson and Wales today.

Is it in the tuition range you want? (And yes, "cost of living" is vastly different than "tuition").

[Kannap]

I mean, if I could obtain a job that kept me in the states or far far away from conflict, then I would join if their promise to pay my college tuition still holds true.

National guard.

I considered that in the past. My research turned up staying in the states and not going overseas and it appealed to me. However, my mother claims to have done research that says the National Guard is supposedly the first to touch ground in conflicts overseas..

[DesAnges]

When do you leave high school?

I graduate in June 2015

Oh that's alright. Hmmm. Look at UCAS. I'm not sure if that's what you need to use for non-EU but it's what we all have to use so.

You get deployed more than active duty, but for half as long. Hell, just be a desk jockey.

[Benshir]

Surprisingly, it's not that hot or dry this morning.

Is dry a bad thing in Singapore?

Nope, it's the norm. Usually dry and somewhere between 28 and 33 Celsius.

There's a reason the National Guard seemed appealing to many, many Vietnam potential drafters for a reason.

Besides, if you land in a logistics role you won't ever see combat unless everyone around you starts dying.

Comms is literally the first thing to fuck up at any occasion.

The joke on Military intel is true.

MP's are not only the rivals of engineers, but there cops. Of course I hate their fucking guts.

[Sebtopiaris]

Wait... is this another TET, or is it the same one with a different name?

What joke about Military Intel?

And well, MPs are irrelevant to me.

If it gets as bad as Iraq was, then that's not true.

I've given up on trying to make sense of it.

That Military intel might as well be no intel.

Oh, I figured being an island in Southeast Asia would mean it would be humid as hell all the time. That's good to hear. I could live with 80s to 90s year round if its too humid. But no I have to live in South Dakota, where we see 120 degree temperature swings over the course of the year.

Yea, Iraq is kind of the exception to the rule.

I see.

If I were to land a good job though it would be in computers, regardless; even if I was to go into the military I'd like a job where I am tinkering with shit.

Sounds like death.

This is all madness anyway. Always has been,always will be in the lands of NSG.

Iraq are Mongols?

Modi, remember that conversation yesterday involving the girl and her fuckbuddy?

[Kannap]

I received a free application in the mail from Johnson and Wales today.

Is it in the tuition range you want? (And yes, "cost of living" is vastly different than "tuition").

Tuition is about 29k per year. But Johnson and Wales is well known for their outstanding aid packages.

Room and board is about 9k - 12k per year but with the nearest location in Charlotte, I could still live in my mother's house and make the commute to Charlotte everyday. About a half hour drive away.

Being a minority, lucky you, you got the gov to help out a bit. All I was eligible was the unsubsidised Stafford. Dad bitched and complained how I didn't get anything else, how he joined ROTC to pay for school, etc.

And then after I flunked out, he told me if I intended to fail more classes, I'd have to pay. I didn't intend to fail, it just happened. I think he meant if have to pay for it until I could show him I could succeed.
Which I can't pay for it. I'm not an independent student until age 24.

I am not sure what being a minority has to do with me getting Federal Aid funds as I did not apply for the Hispanic Scholarship fund or anything; it all was based on Pell Grants and Subsidized Stafford.

Manning you had your pick of schools to go to. Most schools will take a racial minority student over a white one, to show diversity et al. Applying as a white male (even though I answered N/A or "other" for both, though my SSN shows me as a white male) didn't help me at all, probably hurt me a bit. Maybe I'd have had 2 or 3 school accept me if I was Hispanic or legally female.

Were about to go in for round two, so I'd say it relevant.

Well, that's even hotter than brisbane.
Because you're all tropical and stuff, is there a lot of humidity?
