I prefaced my remark by saying it had meaning for me and a couple of

I am sure, though, that it was tougher to get into my skilled
tradesman union than it was to get into the army.



Both are easy to "get in" but that's about where the similarity ends.
It doesn't take much to stay in a union. Just open your wallet, pay
your dues and don't rock the boat.


I had to take and pass a multi-day knowledge and practical exam to get
from apprentice to journeyman.




To remain in the military you have to demonstrate value, competence and
worth. This is particularly true as a commissioned officer, although it
also applies to enlisted personnel. The military does not promote and
retain slackers.


Now *that* is funny.

An enlisted person in the military attends 9-10 *weeks* of basic military
indoctrination.
That's before attending the school for his/her particular job code. That
school can last anywhere from 3 months to well over a year. Only *then*
are they considered qualified to begin performing the equivilent of
apprentice level work in their job rating. Advancement in rate is dependent
on completing required courses in both military and specific job code
curriculums, plus sign-off of practical demonstration sof competence by
higher ranking commissioned or non-commissioned officers. Usually takes a
couple of years to accomplish.

Why is that so funny to you? You obviously have no knowledge of or
experience in the subject.
Really Harry, to those of us that know what the military is all about, you
are making a fool of yourself.

It's all just another lie. Harry doesn't belong to any union. He can't
prove he belongs to any union. If you question him, he'll kill file
you, then call you vulgar third grade names. Just like his alleged
Yale degree, his father's runabout across the Atlantic, in winter,
with a fireboat welcome in NYC, and on and on. All lies. You can tell
the one's that aren't lies, because he'll instantly produce a picture.
If it's a lie, you'll get vague answers, non-answers, and name calling.

from his 6 hours at McDonald's.

Its closer to a religion. In common with a religion it pays next to
nothing to start and you will not get rich. You really need to be a
believer, in both cases.
