She's going for X-Ray tech, and pretty much let it be known that if she can't have it, she's not taking "some bullshit MOS that they need to numbers for that they'll disband or drawdown in six months." and she'll just walk away and come back in a few months, since she has a job.

I'd assume it's the most desired MOS in the Army and every person going through those doors asks for it "Hmm I've never worked in medicine but my aunt is an x-ray tech and makes $30 an hour! I want to do that!"

Problem is that hospitals are still losing money, the demand for nurses is moving towards the old folks homes as the gray bomb looms.

I let her read the postings, she was all: "Post my pic, I don't give a poo poo." Then I just let her know that this is a hive of scum and villainy where we'd have sold off Obi-Wan for his organs and sold Luke in sexual slavery to the Air Force. Her answer was: "So, vets?" At least she's got a go-to-hell plan: "I'll sit my busted up rear end on the back porch and drink beer with my dad."

Casimir Radon posted:From what I can recall Amazon, UPS, and FedEx got caught with their pants down last Christmas. Weren't prepared for the volume of stuff they ended up shipping, and took a lot of flack for it. That's probably why they're working with USPS and couriers this year. Not exactly. Everyone got caught with their pants down last winter. Public and private entities across the northern half of the country had not prepared for such an unexpectedly cold and snowy winter. It was so bad that salt mines were only filling government orders and, even then, local governments were running out of salt. Because nothing was moving in a timely fashion(trains/trucks/planes), trips that called for 1 driver/crew/pilot ended up needing 2 or 3. Drivers/crews/pilots are a finite resource and are bound by hours of service laws and union agreements. Those second and third drivers/crews/pilots are taken off other truck/train/plane routes which push back departure for those until another driver/crew/pilot can be found. Repeat ad infintium. Instead of needing x pieces of equipment to fulfill your needs(equipment being anything from trailers to locomotives to people; the need determined by average velocity and expected volume), you need 2x because your fleet of equipment is moving half as fast as its supposed to. There is no easy way to quickly increase equipment/people in a short period of time. On the railroads, crew and power shortages became so bad that some trains just ended up sitting in sidings for a month while they sorted things out. Beyond this, at origin/destination locations, congestion is created by the loss in velocity. Rather than spread out several days, freight arrives in bursts when the weather clears. This creates imbalances in equipment/people and further congestion. This was all on top of an ongoing driver shortage. Nobody wants to be a truck driver anymore. The money sucks(city moves) or the work conditions suck(over the road). Hours of service laws further restrict the man hours available. Anyways, this is a lot more complex than 'UPS poo poo the bed because of the volume'.

So let me get this straight.. This is your daughter:50 Foot Ant posted:
And after giving her a peek into GiP we get this: 50 Foot Ant posted:I let her read the postings, she was all: "Post my pic, I don't give a poo poo." ??? One of these things doesn't look like the other one. Also, with those creds, how is she stocking shelves at Wal-mart and not at least being a financial drain on you by taking underwater basket weaving at the local Community College? Honestly having a 3.8, HS Diploma and tits, she should have qualified for some sort of scholarship to a real university.

We had a burn pit on my first fob, and then I moved to KAF where there was not only a burn pit but also the infamous poo pond. I swear they could have ran a bioweapons lab with the terrors that had to be growing in ~11 years worth of human waste that had been baked in the desert sun for just as long.

I also got shocked by one of those loving showers in mosul the name of the fob escapes me though anyway, yeah to add onto that, the one dude I saw die in Afghanistan was some fella hooking up a crane's cable from like one of those little asian midget flatbed/crane combos to a big jersey barrier. The crane operator tipped the boom right up against a power line, the dude on the jersey wall got the poo poo zapped out of him, the crane caught on fire. I was on the other side of a couple of hescos burning office shred out there like a good little fobbit peon when all this commotion suddenly breaks loose and then we were running around trying to put this nonsense out with fire extinguishers out of the nearby b-huts, the one afghan running around blabbering with his hands over his face, the other one awkwardly sprawled out across the top of that concrete block next to the fire which by this point was burning all that filthy axle grease and bullshit off the winch and joints of the crane covering everything with greasy black smoke, and that one gnarled brown hand still stiffly clutching the wire rope lol yeah that's always a funny story to tell people cause they expect I'm gonna tell them about the dude I saw eat it when we got into a firefight or something, but no, just plain old savages run afoul of the outside world's magic
