The Eternal Thread: Whoops, I Did it Again....

[Noobubersland]

My grandfather bombed villages in Vietnam. Probably. He never says what he did. Something about torturing POWs, though, oddly enough.

I had an uncle who served in Vietnam.

I.....Don't think I should bring up my family....

[Yuktova]

I have a great uncle who served three tours in a row, and on the last one crashed in a helicopter and managed to escape with 30 broken bones before the patrol got there.

Tough bastard!
My grandmother's first husband (the one before the perv grandfather) got killed during WWII and one of my great-grandfathers wound up KIA during WWI.

None of my family members served in any war, if I recall correctly.

I'll not ask. Got a bad feeling I already know where it'll go.

Between my great-grandfather and great-great-great-grandfather, dying in dumb wars seems to run in the family a bit.

I love all of you Eternalites, but it's time for me to get some beauty sleep.
Of course, sleep's for the week, but I am weak and must get some rest sometime. Good night.

Yeah, the only war in which I can be proud of my ancestors is WW1

[Wazkyraque]

I always wanted to become a Biologist.

There's a lot of things I want to do regarding science.

They have a lot of that, some people who've gone to ISU have gone to work for NASA. A lot of people from ISU, who've majored in Biology work for a company not too far from where I live, "Pioneer" or something.

But, the catch is, you'll have to do excellent in school. ISU is rather expensive, I wouldn't be able to go to it without a scholarship of some sort, I'm already about 10 credits away from getting the recommended amount of high school credits, and I've got about 3 collage credits [or 9, I'm not sure tbh xD]

I'll say this of that: Whoever it was in Vienna who pulled the leadup strategy out of his ass probably should have reached for his head instead.

I crammed 21 credits into one year of high school. At the time, it meant all I didn't take was business law.

Fucking Austria-Hungary was just hilariously incompetent in that war

[Yuktova]

....How?

My grandfather (father side) was too young to join up for WW2, my dad was too young for Veitnam, my other grandfather was caught and thrown in a German Concentration camp. He worked on a farm, and survived (he was Serbian). I think the Russians rescued him, and he traveled to Great Britian after the war. He then went to Boston, Mass.

I feel bad for my grandfather, as he lost a lot of his friends when he moved. Oddly enough, he doesn't want to visit Belgrade, or Russia again.

I can't believe I'm related, however distantly it may be, to those idiots.

I do, most of them are on my dad's side. Most of the ones that are alive fought in WWII [one of which worked with Patton, who is pretty notable], Korea, or Vietnam. My dad recently found out about one relative who fought in the Civil War.

In Florida, a full semester is half a credit per course, so I got 25 in two years.

I don't like the name of this thread.

Out of the Civil War, I have my great-great-great-grandfather, Cpl. James Carvey, of the 12th New York Cavalry (he died a POW in Andersonville), and Ormenius Thayer out of Michigan (he survived).

Not really. The thing about everyone in the war is there were places and times where they performed horrible and where they performed very well. Italians were a pretty notorious example, as they completely stuffed up about two years of campaigning and getting massacred by Austrians before suddenly starting to perform as if they were actually a military rather than a bunch of paint cans for the battlefield.

Sounds very doubtful, since that would leave you no time at all to actually do high school courses.

Mine helped keep the South out of Iowa. That's about all I know.

I suppose it's because any friends he had would be dead. Fucking Tito killed every Chetnik he could get his hands on

The Chetniks were genocidal nazis, so I understand his hatred of them.

Hmm, I see..
I do pretty well. I have no clue as for scholarships and stuff, it's almost like I'm kept in the dark about all that crap. I got a bunch of credits this year, but again, I seem to be kept in the dark.
Not sure why, it just seems like a general lack of communication.
How do you get college credits?

[Milks Empire]

College credits, my dear.

Unless I was getting high school credit at the same time for the same classes.
