Hrmmm.
I like the physical fitness, 4 pushups in one minute. Lol.
Yeah, I never noticed that - I might could even pass that part :DQuote:

Just don't stop any professional football players on the way to the hospital.
I don't appreciate the age discrimination. I can meet all the physical and time of service requirements, but I'm over 44. They think they're the Feds?
Well, if I hurry up and go I can make the age requirement. :)
And the physical fitness portion...geesh...piece of cake (even injured).
Salary a bit low but depends on the cost of living. But do I really want to move to Texas where I dont know anyone and dont have family? :noidea:
I know..I am too old for Fed jobs too. :(Quote:

Heaven forbid they get a few people with experience. Why don't they just go hang out at the high school and recruit the football team.....send them to a six month academy and put them on the street. I feel safer already. OH, I forgot about the two years in college where they learn how to drink beer from a hose, and run around the dorm in their underwear trying to remember where they hid the bong...........Quote:

I turned in my M16 to the USMC five years before he was born.
OMG..this explains soooo much to me. :biggrin1:Quote:

yeah, I guess that brainwashing technique they used on Paris Island kind of stuck with me....:painkiller:
