yo

ideally, I want to get into the Norrbotten Armored Battalion

and eventually advance to Överste if possible

Yeah, that's what my recruiter said. Do you know where you'll be stationed? My boot camp will be in Chicago, I know that. I'm really hoping to go to Italy, I was told a lot of new recruits are going there. I'll be damned if I go to the Navy port 45 minutes from my house, haha.

[QUOTE]you put your 20 years in, and youre well fed for the rest of your life. WELL fed.[/QUOTE]And you only have to give them a measly twenty years of your life? Awfully generous, I should look into this

Bremerton is legit

Yeah, my recruiter said he'll be retiring at like 40.

Jake: Yeah, but I wanna travel nikka.

considering that means id be retired at 39, 20 years of my life doesnt seem too bad.

thats crazy, i was actually thinking about italy too. return to the motherland yknow. if not there, the other places i picked were in germany, france, and england. if overseas doesnt work out (sounds like it will tho), i think they were talking about like maryland or some ****. idk. im really crossing my fingers on overseas.

need to pirate me some rosetta stone haha

ASVAB is pretty easy

I was helping a brah with the study guide

hahaha

i hear if you're overseas they [I]really [/I]take care of you.

and damn dude, a 93? that's ****ing high. the national average is 35.

I took it and got an 89.

My friend James got a 96 :amaze:

i know dude ppl were walking away with 50s and huge smiles. my recruiter nearly **** herself when she saw it. idk, it all just sorta came to me. anything related to english is nothing for me, and i brushed up on my math the night before. all the mechanics and electronics stuff is easy too if you know the names of parts of cars and what they do, know the names of tools, and have at least a mild comprehension of how electronics work. the rest is pretty much common knowledge ****. tests have always been very easy for me.

My test wasn't like that, it didn't have any mechanics stuff on it. The guy told me the small portion I took was more difficult than the actual test to show if it is even worth taking the real one. The English was so easy, I just bombed the math portion.

yeah the practice only has the math and english stuff. theres gonna be mechanics, electronics, and this like object placement thing. hard to explain, you basically have to look at a bunch of shapes and choose the correct image of them all put together. things like that.

heil bbq chicken burrito

whats goin on brent, im bored as muf****er

worked out, eating this giant burrito and listening to Weeping Birth

I was looking at the Barron's practice test object assembly

they seriously give nine whole minutes for that?

yeah haha that was definitely the easiest part of the test, minus the english stuff. the only way you can really screw it up is by rushing through it and not looking carefully enough. or by having a lack of common sense. which sadly the majority of people seem to possess. i think i finished that part in like 3 minutes. the whole test didnt take me any longer than an hour and a half. its really surprising how unintelligent most people are.

[QUOTE=Nepenthe;17420463]its really surprising how unintelligent most people are[/QUOTE]

yeah :(

I always feel dumb though because I look up to people like idk J.P. Joule and Vernon Mountcastle

btw, I never liked that term "common sense" because it's not always common, as you pointed out, and not always "sense" either

im ****ing bored

Same.

find a new avatar to keep you entertained

at timjim

im considering it


but it has to be something extremely heilworthy

More heilworthy than that Juno girl? Shouldn't really be a challenge.

at least you dont have to share a nose with mr. potato head, like carl sagan

no i mean something worth getting rid of one of the last remaining large avatars on the site

i lost my large avatar during my hiatus the past year. im a former r&mer of the month god dammit!

hey guys

1. Consider the system of equations:

x1 + 2x3 = 0
3x1 + 4x2 + 4x3 = 0
alphax1 + x2 + x3 = 0

a) For what values of alpha will the system only have a trivial solution
b) For what values of alpha will the system have an infinite number of solutions? Give the form of the general solution in this case.

What's the answer.

im going to bed

that made my brain hurt

keep up the good work rasputin

i have to do this stupid maths unit and i figure half of you nerds do calculus and ****
