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.

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

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

antikristuseke · 07-22-11, 02:45 PM

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

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

Anything else you want to know? Go ahead and ask

Ok, I will.

Better kisser: Mila Kunis or Natalie Portman?

If Jane can dig a hole in 4 hours, and John can dig the same hole in 6 hours, how long will it take for both of them to paint the house together?

What was Mary's little lamb's name?

Are you warmer wearing flammable or inflammable pajamas?

Six isn't twice three when?

When it's midnight in London, what day is it at the South Pole?

Did you want fries with that?

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.

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.

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

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

Just a guess.

Stealhead · 07-22-11, 07:31 PM

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?

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.

Multiple tabs with cut-and-paste.

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