As if you had even the slightest idea what I meant.
Not much in the way of intellectual prowess is needed to
figure out what
you mean, Harry.

Oh, I dunno. I was intellectual enough to figure out that
the Army was a dumb deal for a career.
Is the Marines a better choice?


You never know. The Marines might have turned an a**hole
like you into a man.
Harry,
You seem to enjoy throwing barbs at everyone, especially the
military. While the military would not be my choice of a
career, I would never call it a dumb deal for someone else.

As I stated, the Marines might have done you some good,
turning you into a man, instead of the cowardly pussy you are.
Harry,
Let's get together for a beer one day.

Only if you bring a legitimate photo ID that belongs to you.
Of course, I always show people my ID when I meet them for a beer.


In fact, you'd have to send me a scan of it beforehand. I'd want
to check you out on the national crime database.
It sounds like you are being very cowardly.


No, I just think it important the people one meets are who they
claim to be. Since you have claimed so many identities here, it
would be prudent to check you out first.

Harry, have you ever checked the number of different id's you've had
here?
There's one guy here that changes his id by the way he puts quotation
marks
around his name, and what he puts in parentheses after his name. I don't
know why y'all do that, but it's interesting, don't you think?

BTW, the other guy lies a lot to gain attention too. Strange, don't you
think?

Harry is upset because I played with him by following his example of
changing my name from John Smith to J. Smith, to R.J. Smith, to R.J.
Smithers, to Reginald P. Smithers. I was tweaking Harry and his
manner of changing his handle slightly to override kill filters.

I offered to meet Harry for a beer, he obviously is scared and I have
no problem with his cowardly behavior and I really was not surprised.








I step over dogcrap, REggie. I don't meet it for a beer.
Yes, but at least I am not a coward, isn't that how this discuss
started? You call me a coward, and I offered to meet you for a beer. I
guess some of us are scared.

I hope my next load of fuel comes from Norway

No one commented about your prowess. Did you misread that somewhere?

I am sure many people have found the military to be an excellent
opportunity, and did not view it as a dumb deal. I wonder how the
military stacks up against the "Job Corps" in "provide(ing) unskilled,
undisciplined kids with a few decent life skills and preliminary job
skills so they know the importance of showing up for work on time,
sober, and with an attitude conducive to work."

My extremely uneducated guess is there is no comparison, and the kids
finishing their military training and their tour, far exceed the
capabilities of similar kids finishing a Job Corps program.

When they complete their training in the military, they have to go out and
'do'. Individual training simply precedes basic unit training, and then
advanced unit training. The skills taught the individual are used in all
the unit training stages and in deployment (obviously).

It's phenomenally short-sighted to think drilling locally is a good idea,
it's not. Given the rapidly declining oil reserves world-wide it's FAR
BETTER to buy oil from overseas NOW and bleed them dry. Sure, you boost
their local economies, but that'll crash and burn HARD once their oil runs
out. By then we'll have engineered our own superior solutions and continue
to march forward.

Well, that would imply that Norway isn't the super deal a few here have
made it out to be.


It's certainly a better place to live in than the United States, other
than the climate.

Well, goodbye then, Harry. Don't let the door hit your ass on the way out.
