Should Skidmark join the military?

[Damocles]

You mean I too should aspire to mediocrity?

Watermark is the King of Amphetamines, that isn't mediocre.

Yea....fucken Navy tried to pull that shit on me. After I graduated college I interviewed with all the services except the Marines (I'm not the hero type). I quickly realize that in the Army they will take a group of highly educated and motivated young men and put the singularly most inept one of them in charge with your goal being not to let that person get you killed. Not my cup of tea. The Airforce? The officer corps in the USAF is the most inbred of the services. If your technically competent you may learn to fly planes but be a leader? Not unless your a fucking Vanderbilt. So that left the Navy and they wanted an 8 year commitment with 4 of those being at sea. That was more then I was willing to commit to. So they tried to talk me into taking med tech training and showed me how those NCO's who master that training rise as far and as fast on pay scale and rank as nuclear techs. I thought that was interesting. Fortunately I discussed that with my Uncle the ex-Marine who told me....you do that and you'll end up out in the field putting bandages on jarheads. That ended any futher consideration of volunteering for military service.

This phrase could describe every government program ever designed ever.

He'd be more than able to make it into the Corps.

In what aspect of the corp do you think he would excell other then being cannon fodder?

Probably logistics of some kind. Or intelligence.

 

[Topspin]

I'm saying he doesn't qualy based on flunking the physical test.

It's not a hard test. Make 3 miles in 28 minutes, 2 pull ups, and 55 'crunches' in 2 minutes. Honestly. he'd do just fine.

Generally you train until you're able to do it. It wouldn't be that hard. It's not like strength is some natural talent that can't be changed.

Logistics? He couldn't organize a bun fight in a whore house. Intelligence? I've known smarter fence posts!

That's true but unfortunately for you, you can't take your Mommy with you to hold your hand for you.

Motts jokes are bad. I'd have a more clever insult, but since he didn't put any effort into his...

The Marine Corps is more physically demanding than the others, but what all basic training camps deal with, more than physical performance, which makes them difficult, is the mental and emotional strain they put on you to test your ability to handle pressure.

 

[FUCK THE POLICE]

I would just take more amphetamine.

You'd make a killing selling your drugs to people.
