Fine Then, Here I Am

[Anthony W.]

I know with my last 2 or 3 threads, I forgot which few websites I fake my age on. This is one where I DON'T.

Well - clearing the air - this is who I am. Now nobody can accuse me of lying about everything.

My name is actually Anthony, and I'm 17 years old.

I drive a Ford Mustang GT that I recently got after selling my Mustang v6

I am trying and succeeding at losing weight.

I plan on going into the United States Air Force after high school.

In a year, I do plan to buy a rifle.

I swing dance all the time, I play the trombone, baritone, guitar, and a little bit of tenor sax.

I work - a lot. I have 3 jobs.

I actually do love to research and develop things for my own good.

My several friends of mine are authors and producers.

Anything else you want to know? Go ahead and ask

:salute:

Now nobody can accuse me of lying about everything.

Nobody has, the accusation was that you are a seemingly compulsive liar (as has been clearly demonstrated) which therefore makes things you claim as true very very questionable.
"Everything" is a very big word

[Sailor Steve]

Off by an hour and nineteen minutes. I should have taken money.

[Feuer Frei!]

Anthony, only YOU know the truth, no-one here will know, unless you get all of us into a meeting hall and present the facts, face to face.
Having said that, why is it so important for you to press home the truth that only you know?
Is it guilt? Is it attention that you want?
If it was me, i would not have bothered with this thread, for how can you truly convince everyone of your REAL situation?
This thread will do nothing to dispel any doubts that we have had before this thread.
In fact, it may further fuel another spam thread, or worse, shoot your credibility down the hill even further.
My post is not meant to offend you, or to hold you to task, it is my view only, and should be taken with an open mind.
All i can say is, you know the truth, there is no need to make an issue out of it.
Your future posts will hold all the weight of credibility that you perhaps seek from members.
Or they will not. Up to you. :salute:

[Anthony W.]

Having said that, why is it so important for you to press home the truth that only you know?
Is it guilt? Is it attention that you want?

The guilt prompted this thread.

I screwed up bad when I forgot which websites I fake an age on (and trust me, almost all young people fake their age on at least a few sites)

[Feuer Frei!]

The guilt prompted this thread.
Ok, well, if it's that, spell that out in your original post. Be frank, Don't go into detail of what you do, or how old you are, no facts.
Just a simple and brief account of why you are posting this thread. Not repeating what you have already told us in the other threads.
There would be more respect from people i would think, if you were frank and open with why you are posting this, rather than rehashing 'old' news and finishing off your OP with "any more questions"? "Ask away"? Seems a little useless as we will never know the actual facts to your situation unless we met you.
If it's guilt, then say so. If it's important to you, that members change their views on you, say so. If it's important to you what other people think about you, think about what you post.
REMEMBER: It is impossible to prove facts about yourself on the net, certainly here, unless you scan and upload original documents to Neal and he shares that info with members, which is not going to happen.
Remember also: your future posts will determine your standing.
Good luck.

[Krauter]

To be honest I could care less about what you do. As long as you don't act like a twit then I can garner respect for you.

I believe it is Steve who constantly tells the trolls and liars that post threads that the only thing we can use to form our opinion of you, is what you post here. If you post useful, intelligent and respectful threads, that don't attack people or just seek to have an honest discussion, then I know I can go post in that thread without thinking anything of it.

When you start posting things like "I drive a Mustang GT", " I own horses", "I've got an inheritance that got me all these things". I don't care and that's when I start entering threads with posting constructive things as the last thing on my mind.

Anyways, just be honest, respectful and be ready to learn things (I still learn things here every day) and I'm sure you won't have to worry about what members think of you :up:

Cheers,

Krauter

So you go to high school and work 3 jobs at the same time, colour me skeptical as I only work one job, doing an average of 240 hours a month and i have **** all time to do anything else that isn't sleeping.

240 hours per month. Sounds fammiliar. Are you per chance in boat construction :hmmm:

[antikristuseke]

Security actually, for 10 more shifts, then its back to school. Right now have 9 hours remaining in a 24 hour shift

[danasan]

There is a saying, I think it goes back to Laotse:

"you are the master of your words, uttered once, they control you"

("du bist der Herr deiner Worte, aber einmal ausgesprochen, beherrschen sie dich")

[Stealhead]

I hope you are truly being honest in your post here and that being "caught"(I assume someone called you out on this) has taught you that telling lies is not going to to get you very far in life.(unless you plan on going into politics)

This is very true with the military where lying and being dishonest is very much against the values of the military.If you are caught lying about something directly related to duty you will get into serious trouble and goes against the core values of the military.


The Air Force Core values:

Integrity First

Service before self

Excellence in all we do

Notice the first thing?That is how important being honest is.If a person has no integrity how can you trust them?
If you are dishonest in one way then that makes people distrust you because all they have to judge you buy is obvious dishonesty.

Another thing you should consider Anthony is that many members of the military come from lower class hard working backgrounds and they tend to dislike those
who brag about how much money they have or what they might have so if you do this sort of thing you will find that you will not make many friends this is very true in basic and tech school where people are the most homesick they are not going to want to hang around with someone who brags.

If you want to make goo lasting friends you will get much farther by being yourself and not what you think impresses people.I say that because you seem to not be all that confident in yourself. And if you still behave the same way in the military it will catch up with you I guarantee it.

[Ducimus]

Why bother faking age at all? You are who you are, I don't see why this is an issue.. Age can have little to do with wisdom.

Well - clearing the air - this is who I am. Now nobody can accuse me of lying about everything.

I have to ask or wonder why you should care if someone on the internet thinks your lying or not. If you know something to be true, then you shouldn't feel like you have to prove anything to anyone on a internet message board, and if someone doesn't believe you, whatever, that's their problem.

My name is actually Anthony, and I'm 17 years old.

From the rifle thread i figured it was about that.

I drive a Ford Mustang GT that I recently got after selling my Mustang v6

How the hell can you afford the gas and insurance? Or is the old man taking care of that?


I am trying and succeeding at losing weight.

I plan on going into the United States Air Force after high school.

Well if your going into the chair force your definatly going to have to be in your height/weight requirements. From what i hear, getting in the AF now is actually compedative because of not lacking in recruits. So not only have you better fit the hieight/weight requirements, you'd better have the ASVAB scores to stand out from other people looking to join the military. If for example you have 100 people looking to join any branch of the military, the AF im guessing only takes the top 10 to 20 people with highest scoring aptitudes of that group.


In a year, I do plan to buy a rifle.

Assuming you make it into the AF... WHY?! It's just going to sit there at your folks house. The earliest you could possibly posses a firearm, would be when you arrive at your first permanent duty assignment, assuming it's CONUS. At which point, unless your married and living in base housing, your firearm has to be checked in with the base armory. If you live in the barracks, your not allowed to have any firearms in your possession.




I work - a lot. I have 3 jobs.

How the hell can anyone work 3 jobs while in high school?

[Stealhead]

I did not think of that. Why buy a rifle that you will not be able to use hardly ever enlisted are not allowed to keep firearms in the dorms so you have to leave in base armory as has been stated with the SPs also your need for self defense drops drastically on a military base all you need then are you fists.

Over seas if you are in Germany I think you can keep a weapon in the armory but not much point as the only place to use is the Rod and Gun Club on base and they have plenty of guns that you can just rest and plink with you cant get a German hunting permit.Japan is a no go as is Korea.

If you want to join ANG or Reserves you better get your ass on the ball and enlist right now delayed entry because those two are very limited in the AF assuming they have any slots available.

Have you even spoken to a recruiter yet? I think not even back in the mid 1990's when I joined you had to enlist delayed entry if you where in HS other wise you might have to wait a whole year or more.Also if you want to become a pilot your best bet is to enroll in a college Air Force ROTC program completing that and taking the tests in your senior year to see if you even qualify to get into flight school and go from there.If start as an enlisted man you are adding 6 or 8 years to that time span assuming you get into OCS or Boot Strap.The other route is to serve at least 4 good years as an enlisted (though you'd need to have been an NCO to improve your chances) then enroll in the US Army program that takes enlisted men and trains them to be helicopter pilots as Warrant officers though that is gong to be very hard only the best of the best get to fly the AH-64.

In my day they if you had less than 50 overall ASVAB the AF did not even speak to you at all ideally you will need to have a high score in two categories like mechanical and electrical other wise they might pass on you nowadays.Some AF tech training is very hard (mine was and so where the other fields in my squadron) and they will not hold your hand if you do not study and you fail they will simply wash you back three times then you get kicked out.In some jobs like EOD you can not fail ever or they send you to another job(in that case because of the very high skill EOD requires your still usable else where.)another job that has a zero fail is boom operator(inflight refueling) the boom is controlled by an enlisted man that course you can not fail.

I am saying theses things because based on what you say compared to what you do I dont think you are going to make it in the military.I was already in the delayed entry program for the USAF at the same point(17) in my life as you I was already putting my plans into action.

P.S. You are going to have to contact an AF recruiter they wont call you I find your weight excuse to be bogus unless you are 400 pounds they
will allow in any branch a guy to be over or under weight by some degree.There where guys in my flight that are the same size that you appear
to be in that picture you posted a while back with the teacher in the pink room so stop making excuses or stories and man up or don't.

[Krauter]

Yeah i did the same. I went into DEP,, at or about a full year before I graduated High school if i remember correctly. I had my MEPS departure date memorized. Still do iin fact. August 6th, 1992. Longest day of my life.

As ASVAB scores go, orignally i was going to join the army. I took the ASVAB, scored a 98 in mechanical, and had the AF recruiter calling me the VERY next day. I don't know how he convinced me to switch branch's but he did. As it turned out though, i ended up going into CE (both Red horse and Prime Beef), so in hindsight, probably not much of a difference had I joined the army instead.

[Anthony W.]

So you go to high school and work 3 jobs at the same time, colour me skeptical as I only work one job, doing an average of 240 hours a month and i have **** all time to do anything else that isn't sleeping.

I'm on summer break right now - I go down to 1 weekend job during the school year

[Anthony W.]

Actually, I do plan on going into politics haha. I want to be a senator at some point. I follow political affairs closely - and - at some point within the last 3 years - I got so fed up with Congress that I decided I'll have to get in there myself some day.

[Krauter]

Why not do two posts in one? I feel like your just posting for the sake of posting now.

Ahh the MEPS experience. I remember it well. Boy it sucked. :yep:

It took me awhile to figure out how to multi-quote.

Just a guess.:06:

[Stealhead]

Yeah MEPS was fun(sarcasm) If you do DEP you have to go at least twice as well once to get into the DEP and then the day that you ship out I guess that goes for everyone through.I dont honestly recall the date of the first time(I know that it was near the end of my junior year) but the second one was June 14th 1995 I went to the MEPS station in Jacksonville FL and for some reason they like it very cold in that place and they gave us some crappy ham sandwiches for lunch but I was a little to excited to really eat much.


Anthony are you certain that you are not already a US Congressman?:haha:

You sure sound like one: I will lower your taxes er no now our state needs this pork barrel program so I will raise taxes in so that we get that pork barrel program.....Sounds alot like I want to sell my car and this car no now want to keep my car and do this...sounds like a law maker to me.

You can have an effect on Congress when you turn 18 by voting.

[CaptainMattJ.]

3 jobs in this economy? during the summer?


by the gods!

[Stealhead]

I think he posted that he only has one job for the summer.What a nice guy he wants young folks that lack his future Congressman powers to have a fair chance at working.


By working 3 jobs some of the year he will be in touch with the "common man" and list this fact in his future campaign aids also by having an inheritance yet still working it will show that he can effectively manage money and will be able to get his state the best pork barrel projects.

Multiple tabs with cut-and-paste. :D


It took me a long time to notice multi-quoting, as well.

[antikristuseke]

I am so oldschool i usually copy-paste and write the quote tags manually. Helps pass the time at work.

[Anthony W.]

I actually did go look at the 74 Vette. It was an L82, but the guy had made it to get better MPG's and run on unleaded gas. The engine wasn't original and I decided not to touch it.

And yeah - I don't know how to multi quote

Ahhhhh

By the way, an update on my weight loss, I'm between -3500 and -4000 calories for today. I estimate I only took in 1000 - 1500 calories at max today, and I burned about 3000 hard core swing dancing for 4 hours, combined with the 2100 I burn just by being alive

[Feuer Frei!]

Ahhhhh
So for instance if you wanted to quote my screenie how-to post AND quote the next post after it, which is your 'Ahh' post, you would go to my post with screenie, click on multi-reply button, then go to your Aahh post and click on reply with quote button.
You can always review your posts before posting anyway.

im pretty sure he said 3 jobs in the summer, and 1 weekend job during school. doesnt make much sense the other way around.

I must know what sorcery is at work here! 3 part times during the summer, with every teen "dying" to get a job, and the job market being exceptionally small? theres treachery afoot!

Hehe 2 of the places I work are owned by immediate family members, and the other is owned by my uncle. My uncle actually added an extra staff position and stuck one of the other employees in it so I could have their job. Nobody got fired, everybody happy!
