Now what?
They are breaking us down. We will be strong. We will lean forward in the foxhole. We will instill pride in all we train. We will sleep when we are dead.
I'm so tired. DSS kicks ass, in more ways than one.

I guess things are going well for you other than having your ass kicked.
Leaving for Drill Sergeant School on Friday morning. Barring any unforseen circumstances, I should be gone 60-something days. I hope I'm not back before that.

Look, dude no disrespect. I know a lot of guys in the British forces, I have total respect for the job they have to do. I just wish they didn't have to do this particular job. Doesn't seem fair at all. Guys like you... admiration.

Sorry I missed your response--when made my post I was just thinking "He's gotta write a fucking essay about how mean Reprobate is? Why doesn't he fucking pull his panties out of his ass and get back in the game?"
Thanks for clearing up my benefit of the doubt issue. Catch you next time

Oh, NOWWW I see the part about you not wearing panties. I have to admit, I can't deny how funny that statement is.
Fuck, and I was all ready to hate your guts.
You present the other side of the argument pretty well, and I appreciate that. I have been hoping for SOMEONE to do that for a long time. (I mean Stockula?! WTF)
Reprobate isn't full of shit, and you are obviously smart enough to push his buttons--but I am sure that he is actually happy to have someone to debate as well. This should be interesting if you keep it up.

Finally this quarter is almost over. I only have to write four more papers in four days, and then I can relax and start studying my modules for Drill Sergeant School.
Been trying to kind of phase myself out of the workflow in the unit, 'cos I'll be leaving so soon, but somehow, even with less specifically defined responsibilities, I seem to be working as...

I was an 11B and a 16S and did my 20 in the active Army and New Mexico National Guard whats your MOS?

The New Mexico National Guard was a Air Defence Unit and the only thing near an 11B was a 16S that was the Stinger missle. So I went to Ft Bliss and got the 16S MOS.

oh what a lovely day
what a day to play at living
What a mess we've made
what a trust we break, not giving
our wings to our children
oh how we've failed them

yep speak softly and carry a big stick.Getting ready to drive down to cali for the "holidays". Have to take the girl to meet the fam. Gotta see my bug sister again. I just noticed I typo-ed "big" sister, but "bug" fits too. She always gets on my nerves after minimal exposure.
Think we'll go to Disneyland first, then cruise back up to the Bay for the reunion.

Happy Holidays to you and the girl.
Well, it this damn college, that's why I feel like I am working harder then I did when I was working.
It is difficult to fit the classes around a full time job, but now that I am on vacation, I spend a whole lot of extra time on studies, and it just feels like I am busier.
Interesting fact: I just saved a ton...

Agreed. They seem to suffer from the rationalists' common delusion, which is "If we can find truth with debate, then more debate can only be better."
Unfortunately, the assumption is questionable and the conclusion makes people act like asses.
...or they could just be asses from the getgo.
