    Shit! I realize that above I was responding to what @oldfella1962 said on Jan 04, 2021 not necessarily just the above.

    Fuck you very much Anc! As I explained 90 percent of the people who retire in my MOS retire as an E6. Guess we are all patriots!

    Which doesn’t line up with what I heard back in ‘07:

    As a result, in my MOS (Military Occupational Specialty) there are maybe
    10 percent females at most. Fully 100 percent retire as an E-7 (at the minimum). The rate for males is about 40 percent.



    So which one is the lying racist lazy stupid piece of shit?

    Sure, not every MOS is the same, but E6 after 23 years is fucking nuts.

    And you know it isn’t common, even in his MOS, because @oldfella1962 keeps coming up for different excuses for why he never amounted to anything. So far we have:

    1) Minorities took all the E7 slots
    2) Women took all the E7 slots
    3) The Army’s height/weight standards are bunk
    4) He wanted to save the taxpayer money (I am not making that up! :rofl: )
    5) No one makes E7 in his MOS


    As to the berth thing, I told Retention part of the reason I was getting out was that I wanted to go back to Seattle. They found a spot as a liaison in a Regular Army unit at Fort Lewis but it was only for E6s and E7s. But if I re-upped they could get me in the role while my promotion to E6 went through.

    Yea, I know he makes up crap about minorities getting slots above white men. and yea, he's full of shit. I know because even though I had no intention of re-upping, I still had to go through all the paperwork and get to "P" after my grade*. Heck, I had most of the requirements before the end of my first year. And even though my MOS (Avionics) did not have a lot of NCO slots, many did move up faster than 23 years.

    * For those who have never served in the military, grades E1 through E4 are automatic promotions. E4 (lower enlisted) to E5 (NCO or non-commissioned officer) promotions, one must meet certain requirements. If you meet the requirements, you get a P after your grade. That means you are promotable.

    Oh to be in my twenties again, but no. I don't have to dress up to get in, I am already in. My family has two condos in King's point honey. I can w[alk in and get it but I do have some honor and am honestly waiting for my turn. However, both my parents and my grandparents were the first to get some.

    Like I said, I do not have to do fucking shit because I have platinum white privilege. It is why I know it exists.

    What the fuck was that?

    This is a message board and I have to go play canasta with some old ladies who actually did something in their lives. So take your time, and maybe get someone to help you write some sort of response that makes sense and is an actual insult.

    Everyone around here should be ashamed for this. This pathetic bullshit brings all of wordforge down and makes people like castle and dayton right.

    In all honesty, the cold numb grip of hypothermia is probably an escape from being Ted Cruz's poodle. Someone should rescue that poor animal so it does not have to live with the weakest trump slave ever.

    So, this led me down a rabbit hole. Did you guys know there are more than 84 unidentified serial killers globally.

    It's actually only 79 but some of them are smart enough to disguise their kills using many signatures.

    So I hear.

    Donald Trump Jr (or Donald Trump II for the number of lines of coke on his mirror after he's snorted three already) there on why Ted Cruz is innocent. Forgetting of course that the Texas Governor is a Republican. But hey, mistakes are easy to make when you're coked off your tits.

    I occasionally feel sorry for him, because by Cohen's account in his book Don Jr was perfectly happy leading his outdoorsman lifestyle and Trump Sr roped him back in by threatening to cut off the cash if he didn't work for Trump Org.

    The same situation happened to Fred Jr at the hands of his and The Donald's dad. Fred Jr had no taste or talent for business and what he truly excelled at was piloting and what he truly enjoyed was fishing with his buddies. Fred Sr said no and hauled him back in with the same threat - work for me or the cash stops. So Fred Jr drank himself to death.

    Trump Jr could be seen as heading down the same path with the coke. But Fred Jr didn't cheerlead for his asshole dad this fucking much, he just did the bare minimum.

    I've been asked "Why do you hate rich people?" and my answer - prior to Bezos and Zuckerberg - has been "I have respect for people who've earned their income; it's the inherited rich I despise." That attitude was 90% influenced by Donnie the NY Slumlord in the 1980s.

    Is there anything more emblematic of The Weakest Link than "Well, gee, my Daddy left me all these b/millions and I've never had to do any actual work in my life and now that nobody loves Daddy, what am I going to do?????"?
