Yeah, that seems about right.

UnderseaLcpl, From the title of your thread, it appears that you do feel that you are "too cool for school". But really you are not. Ya might want to consider toning down the attitude a bit. You may think that you are "edgy" and "cool" but it comes off arrogant and annoying.

Just a suggestion.

I am sure that your buddies thought this was so funny and witty. But speaking as a person just finishing up his Doctorate after spending many years in many forms of academia, what you wrote was not funny nor especially witty. It was arrogant and insulting.

You asked for opinions. You have to make your own decisions and live with the consequences.

Good luck with it. And try not to get the end of day shift on the grill. Cleaning the grease traps is a yucky job.
