I know that's a common expression here to emphasize disgust in a particular comment of idea but I actually just threw up a little in my mouth and it tasted like the Golden Grahams I ate for breakfast mixed with the Steak Ums I ate for dinner.

And yes, this post is ripe for gay jokes. Carry on.

Mmmm...a tasty vurp.

You eat Steak Ums? Moved back in with the ex or something?

That's it pal. I'm crossing your name off the Marine Corps recruiting list.

Sgt PSN · January 23, 2006, 08:32:58 PM

I pick up a pack of Steak ums every now and then though. It's a nice, quick fix from time to time.

Speaking of which, this latino recruiter from the Army keeps calling my old lady. She's Puerto Rican, lives in the Bronx. I'm sure he thinks she's some kind of prime target. The phone messages are appalling. "I'd like to talk to you about getting money for college..." blah, blah, blah. She's already got a degree. Soon, she'll have another. But he don't know that. All he knows is the address and the latino name..sounds like a good bet to him I imagine. Money for college. How about "dying for coporate profit margins." Or "Killing for U.S. empire." Those are a hell of a lot more accurate than any bullshtein he's peddling.

I told her tonight to deal with him or I will.

Easiest way to get recruiter man off your back is simply to tell them to stop calling and that you (she) isn't interested. Just like any other telemarketer, once you ask for your name to be removed from the list then it has to be taken off.

Just out of curiosity, how old is your girlfriend? The reason I ask is because I know Marine recruiters only call people at a max for 3 years after they graduate high school. Once a highschool list is 3 years old, it's destroyed. I don't know if the Army works the same way or not though. Of course, as desperate as they are, it wouldn't surprise me if they just pick names out of the phone book.

I don't plan to be a fleshpop to him. He can thank Sassy for my tolerance of the recruiters. All the same, if he calls again after being told, I'll be chewing his boss a new icehole, loco civilian style.

She's 25 with a BA from NYU and about to finish nursing school. He got her name somewhere other than high school.

Incidentally, that's pretty farged up, preying on impoverished high school kids. Offering them "money for school," which actually amounts to dick all, and then sending them off to die in zesty needless wars.

Whatever. Farg em all.

Diomedes · January 23, 2006, 08:54:18 PM

Fleshpop.

I'll tell you what, if this lousy board is good for anything, it's the filters.

mussa · January 23, 2006, 10:25:31 PM

as long as there is men running the world, there will be wars. so its useless bitching about war until thats not the case. in other words, the world is screwed.

My son just enlisted and the dick money for college amounts to 100% tuition, books and fees while active. Additionally, he will be learning marketable job skills and gaining real world work experience. Concievably, in 5 years, he will be worlds ahead of his ?HS classmates.

Sarge your assuming that the Army operates on the same principles that the Core does. It doesn't!! The Army will cheat lie and steal to get you to sign on that dotted line. The Core only wants those interested. That was my experiance even in the late 80's. I imagine the Army is much worse now that numbers are down.

It's not. But the college fund is his to invest however he wants if he completes the hitch . I have been funding investment accounts for all four kids since birth (even when I couldn't afford it). I have learned in life that goal setting and planning is very important. A college education isn't the only way to reach career goals. He has matured into a smart highly motivated kid. He will do well.

And my wife drives the Lexus. I drive the CTS.
