Default Military Layoffs?

Just saw the Nat Guard is getting bloated with manpower.
Folks signing up for a job.
Have a SIL who just got back from Iraq and is about to enter OCS.
Hope he doesn't get laid off.

Yep. Military as employer of last resort. Predictable.

Harry, I have to ask. Why do you hold such disdain for the very people
that protect your fat, nasty lazy, lying worthless ass? You do realize
that everything you have and every freedom you have is directly tied
to those who've protected this country don't you? Or are you so stupid
that you don't realize that?

He is right though. Military gets a better pick in bad times.

Harry is under the misguided notion that an invading army is going to be
stopped dead in their tracks by him holding up a copy of our constitution.

An invading army from where, ****-for-brains?

North Vietnam?
No.

Iraq?
No.

Iran?
No.

Mexico?
No.

Canada?
No.

Russia?
No.

China?
Only if we don't pay our bills.


My disdain is for the institution of the military, and several of the
former "soldiers" who post here, such as you and your braindead idiot
buddy, Herring.

He's regular Army. Georgia for OCS, I think.
Him and the daughter are driving cross-country now.
His unit was based in Hawaii when she came down with thyroid cancer,
and now they're coming east.
She's cured, BTW. As much as you can be anyway.

Sorry to hear about the grandchild. Damn, that sucks.

He must be going to OCs at Fort Benning, just outside Columbus. Fort
Benning is the Infantry training center, but I think it's the only
place that does OCS now. I went through it at Fort Belvoir, but that
was back in '66 when almost each branch had its own OCS. It will be a
rough first couple months, but then things ease up a bit. I sure hope
he can put up with harrassment, if it's still allowed. Hell, maybe
five pushups at a time is the max now.
