I went through an A school and C school so I know what they were referring to, and ET refers to their rate or job of electronics technician, but it makes it seem like they believe they were special and smarter than everyone else. In my experience there were smart people in every branch and field, and not so smart as well. Just like everywhere else I've been.

Being from Missouri, Ft. Lenardwood is a good place for this.

Well you technically don't have to if you are fine with doing some time in a military prison, possibly a handful of years. I doubt that refusal to deploy or desertion would be met with execution in today's world unless it's during an invasion of the U.S. or something else very dire.

Did they ask a sizable amount of the descendants of slavery? A quick glance through the article, I am gonna guess they did not. Oof

Using those terms as if someone who wasn't enlisted and went through the same branch would know what they mean other than having a vague notion makes you sound like the guys who slip military jargon into their everyday speech without ever having been enlisted. It's not a good look on anyone, much more so on people who actually served, because it makes the ones who don't do that look bad.
The combination of jumping down someone's throat for being ignorant about your experience while expecting them to grasp super niche terminology relating to it is definitely making an argument opposite to the one you intended, at the very least.

Man that number needs to be higher. No wonder they are having an enlistment problem. I had a national guard guy try to convince me to enlist in the officer corps after meeting him at a blood drive I was working at. Then I noticed him asking everyone lol.

Apparently the Australian army has that, used to be just for female recruitment to get them up to spec as I guess the requirements weren't turning out super high numbers without giving them some extra training. Recruitment has been shit across the board for a while though so they let male recruits go through it too. My brother calls it fat camp lmao

Ft Jackson had one of those way back in '96, right there at the 120th.

This is why I didn't buy a Roomba... what kind of idiot openly invites a remote controlled camera into their home 24/7 ?
Then add to that the fact that Amazon owns the company.

You have to seriously fuck up to get a dishonorable discharge, it's more like a felony conviction than just getting fired.
If you're just not meeting standards you usually get an administrative discharge.

Nope. I've only seen one fail and they were given an honorable. Failure to meet procurement standards. I believe they can come back in just not go through the same program, they'd likely have to pass the tests up front.

Slowly but surely, new laws and regulations for industrial hemp advance. But at what cost? The cost of our freedom?
