    wait a minute hoobilly, maybe i was hasty giving the military option.
    they will want you to be responsible for their equipment.
    when you sign their contract, you will become their property.
    general issue.
    sigh.......
    i dont think you can do that either.

    The only company they have mentioned was CRE.

    I have no contract with my training company. As far as 6mo and fired. dont do anything to get fired. Do your job. Do it safe. Do it legal.

    Don't worry about it ,you are over analyzing too much.Think positive a good attitude will get you through it.Just get off your butt,get your BP controlled and go for it.Besides,there's a minister on Family Radio,Harold Camping,he says Judgement Day is coming May 21,2011,so if you're a believer,you will be raptured to heaven and not have to pay any bills ever again.So what do you have to lose?Or are you going to the other place?

    Not military eligible, either... BP indicates that the guy isn't in basic training shape. Plus, that attitude would have you back home in a couple of weeks with a general discharge for "non-adaptability to military life"...initiated a few of those back in the day.

    I also read that aliens from outerspace are living in Las Vegas and that they're building a city in the desert. They're going to land the mothership and take over the world.


    I don't believe everything I read.

    P.S. I'm not talking to you, I'm still ticked about that comment you made. *sulks*:biggrin_25522:

    Yep, after thinking about it, I figured it wouldnt work.
    Sigh.....I do miss it sometimes.

    There were some who signed up for the college money, and didnt think they had to get dirty, or shoot a weapon, or bless their hearts.....

    Even though you live in MI, you must have grown up in the south! You used the phrase 'Bless their hearts'!:biggrin_2559::biggrin_2559:
