I have a research paper due tomorrow.

This isn't what I signed up for.

There's a distinct lack of quotation marks around the words "research" and "paper" in the above quoted post.. Lol it's called using your GI bill to have "online tutors" "revise" your schoolwork prior to your submission. It worked great for Rrail.

You signed up to waste tax payer money and chase a personal dream and not write research papers tho dude? Unless you went to something retarded like film school that's gonna be hard. But then again that'd be the standard to set in wasted tax dollars and dream chasing.

So maybe if this college stuff doesn't pan out you can snobbishly suck Woody Allen's dick like you were his adopted oriental kid for 3 to 5 years in film school and then do a semester working the Kraft Services table at QVC and avoid this research thing all together.

Otherwise college is gonna have research papers no matter what.

Good luck, kid.

Not even monster can save me now.

I never loving learn. When given the option to do a project on WHATEVER YOU WANT, never ever ever ever ever ever choose something you're genuinely interested in but know nothing about.

The more you learn, the more you realize you have no idea what you are doing.

Oh wait yeah you ARE MY old e-buddy Vic Vermis. It's hard to tell what with how huge of a count cuntula you've become of late for no discernible reason. This research paper got your ovaries throbbing with cystic pain that bad brother? Need a cranberry juice? Extra Midol maybe? Or just a mid summers eve to get all the sand out of the crevices?

non military people don't get phrases we have all used (although "jody boy" gets a definite wtf who adds boy on the end)

Their definition of balls watch (or balls-thirty) was off to me. I thought it was because all 0s look like balls but they explain it like you are nodding off looking at your balls. Maybe I'm super dumb (likely)

Aha, I knew those loving hipsters looked familiar. This is where I saw them before:

Guys, I have to admit something:

A few months back, I was having a difficult time in school which was being compounded by a few other issues. Generally I was not having a good time, so I did the unthinkable: I called up a recruiter. A reserve recruiter. A Navy reserve recruiter. I saw it as a way out, a way to let the pressure valve go. Basically, I planned to go in as the equivalent rate to the one I had in the Marines, which would allow me to get to a unit faster than it would if I were to retrain. I went so far as to going to MEPS for the initial physical and getting my PS package submitted. I was pretty committed to getting back in. Eventually, I made it through the semester, took a vacation to Mexico and later California, and got my head screwed on straight.

Realizing that my problems weren't really that bad, I called up the recruiter and told him that I really didn't want to go through with it. Luckily he was cordial about it, and said that if I ever wanted back in that the Navy would be there. I thanked him for his time and effort. As it stands now, I am still a free man on the land, peepin butts and shaving bc I can't grow a beard.

welp that's my story :shobon:

Good pay, less bullshit than active duty, and probably even less chance of being held accountable for anything you do? Not seeing a downside here.

A captain here had a little PII accident here, by little I mean he potentially compromised the SSNs and a bunch of other stuff of everyone on the base, he only got the lightest of slaps on the wrist.

I remember years ago as a Third Class being tasked with reorganizing a tennis court area behind security that was being used as an outdoor lay down lot basically. (This area was in a location that wasn't secure on base) Everything from barricades, to supposedly empty file cabinets. I had a few juniors go move some cabinets and low and behold one was full- of about 100 prior security personnels personnel files. SSNs, NOK, spouses, all sorts of sensitive info. About two or three years old stuff.
I went to the MAC who'd tasked me/us.

Queef MA "Why the gently caress are you looking in (unlocked) file cabinets???!"

Me "Uh, it was too heavy to move."

QMA "Did I tell you to going looking thru people's personnel records?"

Me "Uh. So what do you want done with this stuff?"

QMA "Lock it up and leave it." (There's no lock on the file cabinet that works)

Me "Roger that chief..."


Later when he went to the CPO club for lunch we took the files to our big industrial shredder and destroyed them...

PII lol.
