Your recruiter's bullshitting you. The higher the better. I scored 99, I certainly didn't retake it. I think your recruiter's trying to screw you over, send you undesignated because your ASVAB score won't qualify you for the better jobs in the service (cause he won't give you an opportunity to...

And I must remind you, that you did the same for me. Want me to dig up all the sly marks and direct shots you had at me? Now that I had my one direct shot at you, I consider us even now. Deal?

He said he was from AFROTC, so I threw in the ASTB (the USN/USMC equivilent) as a monkey wrench to see if he knew the difference. If he said "yes" to it, then I knew he was B.S.-ing (after the Overmortal "I'm joining the Marinez!!!!" escapade, I want to make sure he was legit). If he said no...

ASTB means Aviation Selection Test Battery. For example, it's basically the ASVAB for guys trying to get commissions in the Navy and the Marine Corps, and shows projected academic performance of those wanting to fly. It consists of your basic Officer Aptitude Rating (OAR) which ranges from 20...

I have to be honest, the Mexico incident is amusing. Basically, don't watch pirate porn drunk or you too might want to infiltrate Mexico to find "buried treasure and booty". Did you take the ASTB?

Sorry to say this bro, but only the stupidest of the stupid would fail the ASVAB. Back in high school, I took it hungover and still got a perfect 99. The ASVAB is the least of your worries, and you've gotten over the first hurdle. Worry about staying squared away in DEP and in active duty. And...

They closed down U of T due to ice? Nice! I remember when they did that back in '03. Me and my roommate just hung around in our apartment and made pancakes.

I'm pretty sure ET3 is more qualified then you to say about it, considering he's actually in it. I just hope the concept design is not another failure for Warcom. The Cyclone-class patrol boats turned out to be a miserable failure, when the money spent was better off for something else.

You didn't understand the main point behind my post.

You already nominated, these words sound familiar? "Psych...you're an asshole. Not the lovable Maniac kind but the real pretentious, pain-in-everybody's-neck, arrogant kind." - a "Major" trying to pull rank To keep this thread on the tracks, I personally don't care much for internet awards...

Hey, I wasn't the one who emailed him. The other guys told me that they actually emailed the dude when they first saw his page and tried to be nice, telling him to be a bit more humble, and he's already drawing attention to himself. The dude replied back, "Too bad, but fuck you guys! BRING IT...

Personally, I don't know how he took it. As I said, he never reported over here so we never got to see him in the flesh. However, I do know that a few of my buddies emailed him, giving him shit for being cocky and full of hot air when he couldn't even pass the fitness test, calling him a...

Hey guys, I'm sorry if I'm out of line for updating this, but this warranted an update. The guy failed the screening test three times, and because he failed to meet the minimal physical fitness standards, he lost his orders. Didn't even make it out here. He is now chipping paint as an...

My class proctor from Indoc, his first name was 'Darrik'. Also, some general comments you might want to apply. News agencies probaly won't go *that* indepth when it comes to showing fleet movements on the news. The information compromise is about as bad as letting a spy in the main CIC; cause...

ET3, are you a nuke?

The "Mister" modifier is a term used for junior officers. Best case of it being used is in Wing Commander Academy series, when Tolwyn would call Maverick "Mister Blair". Sometimes when a poor junior officer gets reprimanded, they like slurring the Mister modifier, as if it's some sort of profane...

It's about a hundred foot stretch/creek/swamp in the middle of the "Combat Course". You crawl in it. It reeks like hell. It's fun.

It's definately a kick in the nuts experience. You'll find the Quigley there a fun experience. Hell, you'll get E-5 pay while you are there. There was a British Royal Marine Colour Sergeant who was on an exchange program, and he was the Physical Training guy. He PTed us to the ground. When my...

The appropriate term, referenced through False Colors, is "Anti-Aerospace". Still AA designation.

We called the DI's "Sergeant Instructor" at Quantico back at OCS. I understand the recruits say Drill Instructor at San Diego and Parris Island.
