Anyone here plan on joining the military? - Off-topic

Hey guys! Any of you planning on going into the service? I'm currently a United States Marine Corps POOLE, and I ship out to MCRD Parris Island on July 29th! Post the branch of service you're joining and your ship date (if you have one).

Nope I'm not planning on joining the military. Mostly because I already did my 5 years in the Corps.

I signed an engineering contract (1300 field) so I'm really hoping for 1371 Combat Engineer or 1372 Assault Breacher Vehicle.

I honestly don't think I could deal with constantly getting screamed at and all of the exercising. And the lack of sleep lol..

So along with enlistment, you can scratch parenting off your list.

You get roughly 8 hours a night during most of basic training. As for the yelling and exercise, you get used to it.

Well there's your problem...

Once women are allowed to fight equally, I'll consider it. If all I'll be doomed to is a desk job, I'll stay in the civilian market, thanks. I don't mind getting yelled at, I don't mind exercises, I rarely sleep or eat anyway, blood and I are old friends, getting hurt doesn't scare me after everything, and I'm a big fan of efficiency over style. But if there's one thing I can't stand, it's boredom, desk jobs and the idea that women should be kept safely away from the danger. I do believe that's my choice to make.

Seriously, I have no favorite historical person. There are a great many I like or respect, for instance the U.S.'s founding fathers, or John Locke, or Winston Churchill, or Thomas à Becket.
I am far more impressed with and inspired by those of good moral and ethical character, in particular those willing to defend their moral compass even at the cost of their own life.

Not bad for someone whose flight instructor said he was unremarkable and wouldn't amount to anything huh?
Seriously though, it wasn't his efficiency in combat that make him so unique but the almost superhuman way in which he went about living his life. For example, after losing his lower leg in battle he was told that he faced a six month stint in hospital and would never fly again. Six weeks later he had fashioned himself a prosthesis, checked himself out and pitched up at his airfield asking for a plane to fly.
After the war he went on to complete some 1st ascents (mountaineering), and competed in the Olympics (Skiiing) against able bodied competitors. The list of feats is nearly endless. This man grabbed life by the balls and squeezed hard!
If i had even a fraction of the drive this man had i might have made something of my life

Sky News amongst others should be ashamed the amount of coverage they are giving to this junkie pop star who no doubt overdosed on drugs after the terrible events that have happened in Norway.
Amy Winehouse had it all, and has had numerous chances to come clean and get off drugs but choose otherwise therefore it's hard trying to have any sympathy for her to be brutally honest, sorry it has to be said.

Sucks about Winehouse. Death is never a good thing, even if drugs are related. However I find myself more concerned about the massacre of innocent people at a summer youth camp.

driving my son on his first date. need advice on etiquette

Tomorrow I'll be driving my 12 yr. old son on his first date to the movies and wanted some input from the wonderful community here.
I'm worried I'm gonna embarrass my son with his date. I'm old fashioned.
Haha don't worry about it too much, just make a lil small talk (What do your parents do, etc..) but DO NOT ask personal / questions about their relationship too much, and be 'cool'. Let him lead. You'll be fine
Sources: I'm a teen with rather embarrasing parents xD"
When I was 12, I did my homework, not go on dates. It's amazing how much this world is changing. Just drop him off at his 'girlfriends' house and drive away I guess? IDK what to say about this.

ps. Everything went without a hitch. I just told my son girls like details, you take care of the details, little things, and they will notice you. He took like a fish to water. He behaved like a gentleman and his date had a good time as well. Afterward, I took them to Starbucks and they were very happy. I'm very proud of my kid
Don't touch their date... Just minor Advise... Don't like some parent who actually put a limit into kid's date and make them feel very uncomfortable...

This thread makes me feel old.....

What is your addiction?

I believe that everyone has something that they are addicted to, be it alcohol, cigarettes, crack, heroin, shopping, gambling, anything can be addictive.
I will tell you that I have used most every drug including heroin, fentanyl, pot, acid, shrooms, xanax, cocaine (powder and rock), ecstacy, alcohol, and surely many more
The only substance that I can honestly say I am addicted to is nicotine, and I will state that I am addicted to some kinds of self-destructive decision-making/behavior when it comes to my relationships with others
I am curious what other XDA members are addicted to, and what other members are willing to admit to being addicted to, and maybe if we're lucky someone will benefit from this thread
And don't say you're addicted to flashing roms or anything phone related, that's too easy
