Ahem, you do not need to remain ROTC to be in the Corps of Cadets.

source: I was in that band for a year before dropping out my first time.

My Mom told me that if I acted up in school, she'd send me to military school.

I started acting like a total rear end in a top hat.

Turns out, we are too poor for military school, and my Mom vastly under estimated how much I wanted away.

I did the same thing in 9th grade and again my freshman year of college.

I mean I actually wanted to and then went to military school, couldn't afford it, and had to get a job in high school to "pay it back".

Then joined a cadet program because I probably have a spectrum disorder

All right, keep your shorts on.

I did theatre in high school, but I wasn't really comfortable on stage and preferred the tech side of things. I wasn't in the headspace for more school, so after I learned this by crashing and burning out of community college I was looking for something in tech theatre and decided to fill out an application with the tech department at Medieval Times, since they must use light and sound people, right?

I'd been growing out my hair and beard for about a year in a typical post-high-school-goon sort of way by this point, so when I was in the security office filling out an application some guy with 80s rock hair wearing tights walked by and saw me.

"Is that an application? What are you applying for?"

"Uh, yeah. Tech department. I did tech theatre in high school, and-"

"You look like a squire. Put down 'squire'," and he walked off towards what I later learned was the smoke pit.

So I did. A few minutes later he came back and grabbed my completed application and vanished, came back with another guy who looked like a variation on the same theme, and we all went out to the smoke pit while they looked it over.

They asked me literally only one question before offering me the job, and that was: "Could you pass a piss test now, or do you need a few weeks to clean up first?"

I was clean, so I was hired.

Lmao you got enlisted into medieval times

LMAO my unit lives and trains in las Vegas which has a nice layer of caliche a foot down and I fought for 5 years to finally be allowed to do trench grounds after the star grounds causing more LODs from tripping than poor grounding.

Also way easier to dig a shallow 9 ft trench and pack it with water and salt than pounding on 18 stakes for the same performance.

One of my good childhood friends had his wedding in Brittany and we stopped in Paris briefly. As he put it, the only way to do Paris wrong is to rush it. Sit outside in the sun and enjoy a late brunch and stay to have another cup of coffee and skip out on something you were going to do. Don't try and see everything all at once.

This is the correct way to see any City.

loving people too loving in a rush to hit all the spots and wait in line and pay too much.

Just buy good food and walk around with no goals. Let the city surprise you. The only schedule activity I fully recommend is a full bicycle tour of the city; usually it gives a great sense of scale, the guides are usually pretty cool and you can mentally mark stuff you wanna go check out later.

Done this for Austin, Seattle, Philadelphia, Portland, and Vancouver (we like the NW), and it is honestly kind of a tradition now. Even in towns I've lived in, bike tours show some cool stuff that I never went to go look at before.

Snow melted made huge mid and water craters and I had to do two runs to get the whole platoon up the hill to the starting point though tore up trails like that because the airport shuttle bus we brought them in wouldn't make it, so I was hauling rear end on the empty trips to make time.
