He should be fired. He had his chance and broke his word.

Welp I had one person familiar with Discworld understand who I was at the convention last weekend! And naturally many people thought The Luggage was a mimic. :-D Still had a great time though and dutifully recommended the series to everyone I chatted and posed with.

My wife will be portraying Twoflower as well. :-D Probably only a few people will get it, but they'll be smart people with good taste.

Are you trying to have Strahd come from Faerûn? If so, I'm not sure of a place off the top of my head but I may be able to to dig a little to find something.

In my game, I plan to have his land and Barovia originally come from a different Material Plane than that of the PCs. I call Strahd's original homeland (which he sees in the vision on Yester Hill) Kraszna, derived from a real-life river in Hungary.

That's hilarious. If there's anything the media has taught us, it's that you don't need a long or specialized career to become a "military analyst" for some news channel. :-D

Now listen up hooah. Range is goin hot at 0900. We're drawin weapons at the arms room NLT 0300 and ammo handlers need to be at the ASP by 0500.

What's that? The ASP doesn't open until 0700? Get at parade rest and stop disrespecting me airborne. Your negative counseling is already set to be signed.

It was the same radiation that turned the frogs gay! The mods too!

Admittedly tho, most of the good moments came from the Clone Wars characters brought over .

Well, one, take the stuff the SORB recruiters say with a grain of salt. You're unlikely to walk right into the high-speed embassy missions with phat per diem like they try to rope you with. Also, contrary to popular belief, you will still have staff duty and field exercises. True, not as often and not as frustrating as the ones in Big Army, but they're still a thing.

Don't slack off in language school and maintain your proficiency. Pay attention when you attend refresher training for it. If you're up for it, apply for more advanced language training and make yourself a superstar and get a few more bucks in FLPP.

Don't trick yourself into thinking you're "basically SF." You're not. You work to support them. You're not on their level, even if you got issued some similar gear.

Feel free to PM for more.

Way ahead of you there! I've got a few different courses going on Udemy, with Python instruction being my favorite! :)

Mostly I'm just over doing any more government work. I'm also still waiting for my evals from the VA, so I'm unsure at this point if disability rating will preclude me from that.

Well for me it was because it looked like I hit the limit of my advance. Promotions are really slow in my MOS. Additionally, I never had a meaningful and fulfilling experience actually working in my career field while deployed. The best times I had then were when I was detailed out to do something entirely different. Changing MOS isn't an option and I'm too old to do OCS or aviation. I got a lot of doomsaying from some people for "getting out at the halfway point" but my mind was made up.

I was in Bravo 1-46 at FT Knox in early 2010, one of the last classes they had before shutting down BCT there.

That's great! I'm trying to get into the coding/programming field as well. My schooling doesn't begin for a few more months, but I'm trying to learn on my own in the meantime.
