Aileron Posted November 11, 2008 Report Posted November 11, 2008 It's Veteran's Day. I'm not technically a vet, but I'm currently training with them, so, in the style of one of my former drill sergeants: Show da respect or I'll go over there and Superman-punch your !@#$%^&*, 'cause I'm a BEAST!!!
»Purge Posted November 11, 2008 Report Posted November 11, 2008 Happy Veteran's Day? I have classes today so it's pretty gloomy for me. <_<
Aceflyer Posted November 11, 2008 Report Posted November 11, 2008 Happy Veteran's Day? I have classes today so it's pretty gloomy for me. <_< You go to JHU right? Sucks for you. We have a two-day vacation (Monday -and- Tuesday) here at MIT.
Aileron Posted November 11, 2008 Author Report Posted November 11, 2008 4 day vacation here (Counting Saturday and Sunday). Our Captain thought it unwise to tick off the fifty or so prior service people in our company. In a more serious sense, two things come to my mind. The stuff I had to do so far: sucking tear gas, about 10,000+ pushups (in a literal sense), swimming in full combat gear, walking around in 90+ degree weather in broad sunlight in full combat gear, climbing up and down very tall objects with rope, pulling 250 lb people up along with me, letting a complete amateur give me an IV for practice, marching 15k with a full rucksack, and a bunch of other stuff. The other thing that comes to my mind is that frankly I haven't done crap next to these other guys.
Cancer+ Posted November 11, 2008 Report Posted November 11, 2008 They had a god !@#$%^&* Veteran's Day Parade in downtown Pittsburgh and I couldn't get across to my job. I had to pay $23 for parking instead of FREE. Not saying its the Veterans fault...its Pittsburgh's fault. DON'T BLOCK OFF EVERY !@#$%^&* ROAD. And we also don't need EVERY !@#$%^&* MARCHING BAND FROM THE SURROUNDING AREA TO PLAY THE SAME !@#$%^&*ING SONG DOWN THE ROAD.

»Blocks Posted November 12, 2008 Report Posted November 12, 2008 No holiday here for me. Well, I didn't have classes today anyway. We have a two-day vacation (Monday -and- Tuesday) here at MIT. Wait, what? You go to MIT? I'm at the Better Ins!@#$%^&*ute of Technology on the west coast.
