Default I get paid to hold a spear.

I just thought I'd share this little tidbit. So, I'm at Air Force officer training school, and holy shit some of it suuucks (4:45AM PT outside, then getting your ass kicked and doing nonstop stressful stuff until 11PM). BUT, when shit gets even shittier, I stop and remind myself that I have a legitimate reason to stand around and hold a spear for hours (I'm the standard bearer for my group), and I get paid to do it. It's nice that everyone here is also a super nerd (Air Force), and we all get our asses kicked together. I wonder if any other p99ers are here, simply because there's so many people here who fit the bill.


Anywho, also, when I have to run through the middle of nowhere and use a compass (sense heading) without a map (classic) to get to targets, I can't help but think about how funny it is that now instead of playing it in EQ I'm doing it fo' real. Too bad there's no autorun and people actually do get hurt. People have been booted for not passing PT scores or they've broken bones on obstacle courses (Velks lab) and can't continue. Luckily, I have access to a computer since all of the firehose that is the academic curriculum is online. No time to play of course, but I'll probably be able to play again some time in late January. Someone MQ me some leather drops.

Pro-tip: Don't get married while in the military, that will only end in tears.

Im guessing you were not tough enough to join a real branch of the military. Air force is the laughing stock of active duty military branches.

Sounds like you couldn't even make it into the military... lol I'm laughing at your poor excuse for a post.
