If the OP believes that UBI is worthless then a post on the UBI forums would be more fitting. I do not go to Ford when my Chevy breaks down.

Darn... I had such a high image of US servicemen and it turns out they don't even need to be able to write coherent forum posts? The average drunken Norwegian russ could write a better OP. Please tell me milky12 isn't actually in the Army, but is just a spin-off of those little kids who hang out in YouTube comment wars, bragging about how much they've accomplished in Iraq while their profiles inform us they're 13 years old. I mean, seriously, his army company has sunk this low? It makes me want to call even his family bad names.

But whatever, it doesn't matter, I just wanted to check the forum before getting on with my Design and Architecture project, to at least feel refreshed enough to start working. I mean, damnit, milky12, I was this close to apply for the Norwegian Royal Navy for fall and I kinda have expectations of our allies. It's not like you're stupid, I mean, you've managed to invade and occupy two nations pretty much on your own, and many of you seem to be people from poor backgrounds who practically work for free.

When I get back from my studying, this message board had better be at a higher maturity. If you're going to sit on your ass by your computer anyway, that must mean you don't have any physical labour to do, so how about routing some energy to your brain?

Makes me want to write an angry forum thread.

That said, recruitment standards ARE low, because much fewer people will enlist this day and age. So some branch's will take whatever they can get. They're currently allowing people to enlist that wouldn't have even passed army standards in the past.
Probably due to the Afghanistan and Iraq debacle. Before 9/11, I suppose the Armed Forces meant easy money, physical and mental development, a first-class education, and the honour of serving your nation. Now it's associated with its true purpose, which is war.Not nearly as appealing.

Norway's military has been halved in recent years, only 1/3 of guys are being drafted now. Still wondering if it's a good idea, but given how ignorant I am of these things, I guess it's not for me to make a judgement on. I suppose it means higher "hirings standards", but I don't want another April 9th out of the blue. On a brighter note, there's more females in our military than ever before .

Personally, I don't care about the delay. I'd rather have the thing fixed then meet a deadline.

Ragheads, Hadji... whatever. Been in combat, they got a name for everybody. It's not racism.... their the ENEMY, call em whatever ya want. Used to go for a coffee jerk in the C.O's coffee maker... hated that crackhead.

Good luck overseas...

Milky. Thank you for your service to this country. We need more people like you that defend America from outside threats.

That statement is meant ONLY if.

1) You were in the forces BEFORE 9/11
2) You were within the first bunch to enlist in an effort to defend our country
3) You did not join after the serious questions of this war surfaced.
4) You did not join for reasons other than serving your country.

If you are indeed some little punk that is not serving, and is just spouting crap off, may you burn in hell for a very long time.

As we speak lives continue to be ruined. The war is dubious at best right now. Soldiers that are good people are slowly but surely losing their minds FOR NO GOOD REASON.

The United States has done more damage to itself in these two engagements than Osama could EVER have dreamed of. We live in fear, we have nut bars walking around with God Damned AK-47s strapped over their shoulders as presidential speeches. We have congressional members calling our president....the man you are serving under....a socialist.

if you are some little small brained racist moron that thinks what we are doing in that country is fantastic (making more and more enemies every day), then I hope someone beats some sense into you.

By the way if you are the latter....please stop playing the SH series. I don't want to be associated with such an idiot.

If you are indeed a genuine soldier...please check the propaganda and realize the people you are killing are living people just like you, no matter what Micheal Savage, Fatty Limburger, and Glenn Beck say.

The sooner we re-humanize our foe, the sooner this bloody war comes to an end.

In my opinion.

exactly what kind of crap is that? any serviceman serving his country deserves our respect, period. end of discussion.

you don't like the war, take it up with your local politician, that kind of discussion has absolutely no place whatsoever in this forum. end of discussion.

as to the OP, let him off with a warning, he is not the only one blowing off steam today.

Yes, I see they're really lowered the standards these days.

Hopefully you make it back so you can continue your education.

agreed.

what bearing does the Date of Intake have? pre or post 9/11???

A marine officer once told me of a fellow officer. "That son of a b*tch is a Pr*ck"

i asked him - in hind sight it was a foolish question i guess - but i said "Then why do you salute him?"

his reply was simple

"You dont have to like the bastard, because you dont salute the man... you salute the uniform he wears."

At safekeeper...

im packing my bags mate... as soon as the volcano is gone im headed to Norway.

Hold on to the one in yellow for me. she looks like she has a few tricks up her sleeve

(hope thats not your sister or something lol)

Uh yeah... totally.

EDIT:

BTW, if i was sitting with a set of orders in hand, a port call date, and had a few weeks, or months left in CONUS, you bet your ass, that my ass would not be sitting behind a computer, fussing over a damn video game. I'd be......

going on road trips
camping, hiking, fishing, hunting.
boning the piss out of my girlfriend/wife
seeing the relatives i cared about
hanging out with my friends

basically doing everything i could to enjoy stateside, cause once you go to your port call, its all gone, for anywhere between 6 months to 2 or 3 years. I loved the hell out of it when my orders kept getting extended.

**** you UBI soft , your worthless , you dont even update us , you knew that patch way before hand wouldnt be released on your time table. You arnt stupid , i mean we have modders that have pretty much fixed the game in a week while you are i dont at a month longer than a month. They work for free almost. Take a hint.

When i get back from ****in killing rag heads , my god damn crew better be running up and down that ship when i dive or call battle stations.
All you do is sit on your ass all day at least you could think a little bit since you dont have any physical labor what so ever.

You may or may not be a soldier, but you sound more like a spoiled kid demanding immediate gratification, to me. Come back when you grow up. This kind of rant is not welcome here. This forum is for people who have cooler heads, men who don't go full-bore cry baby when a game patch is delayed.
