There is no end of sophisticated machinery and systems everywhere in the military; it doesn't operate itself.

So are these "descendants who are offended by that term" in the room with us right now?

Oh but it is. This sub is about outrageous situations and hemp not being utilized while our planet struggles under the weight of wasteful and damaging resources is outrageous. Don't you think?

So, I don't know if this is a positive step or not. And this has no effect on me whatsoever. But I am 50 years old. If I'm lucky to reach the national life expectancy, I have 25 years left. Can I opt out of all these language changes. Especially the stupid ones like this. I have been a good person in my life. Can I please just stick with field work without being call non-inclusive?

We had an E5 who got out with $20k 30 years ago. He lived like a monk and only bought toiletries.

It is a joke, a have friends who went to USC, and they definitely aren't spoiled. But one does snort coke!

There are two sides to that coin, but one side does include entitled poses who’s parents “donated” to the school.

Trash it all you want, but kids of full time USC employees get to attend the school for free. No, not just administrators, counselors, etc. It’s anyone that is employed by USC. What other school does that?

I didn't realize this was new. We used to call them fat camp in the 90's.

Could be. But I definitely felt like they treated the infantry, well like infants.

Was that wrong? Should I have not done that? I tell you I gotta plead ignorance on this thing because if anyone had said anything to me at all when I first started here that that sort of thing was frowned upon, you know, cause I’ve worked in a lot of offices and I tell you people do that all the time.

To say that they are just as many smart people in the enlisted cohort as in any other population division is definitely incorrect.
Hell it's even provable why the numbers. Grab an infantry squad and check their GT scores now go to I don't know like an ivy league school. Grab some doctoral candidates and Give them the ASVAB and check their GT scores.
