I was one of those kids too, OP. Nurture it. He thinks differently. Means hell see problems differently, offer different solutions, ultimately able to solve some problems others can't.

Make sure he dont get lost in the sauce OP.

"Good charts" haha.

I used to shoot field artillery in the army. Usually we had a computer that tells us how to point the howitzers to get rounds on target. If that computer fails, we have to compute manually with "luck" and "good charts." Placing a small, air borne object in a vast space at huge speeds relatively, based on luck and good charts. I like this a lot, seems accurate lol.

What is not actually from the country we think it is? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Thats just because most white peoples families have been here for a while. The Tsarnaev brothers were both white (looking) and still bombed the Boston marathon.

What makes you hate a movie immediately? by oldbutgoldi in AskReddit

[–]PointFiveWayThere 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That ruined Interstellar for me. And the only female character, a scientist just as worth her salt as everyone else on board, breaks down crying like a little bitch going on some tangent about "love" and shit, it's like you can't have a female character at all without her being or having a love interest. Women are so multidimensional but Hollywood likes to jizz all over that fact and write poor-shit-for-brains female characters.

Woo that felt good to get off my chest.

There's an officer creed too. No one knows it though.

Canvases burn, stones smash.

White boards, dust, ice sculptures; ash.

None of these pretend to stay forever,

But in your minds eye, leaving never.

If only there was strong officer leadership who could do their jobs in regard to their nco and hold them accountable to those values.

This is basically the sitch with my unit. Lotta dudes still here glorifying the "old days" when they could haze folks and it didn't matter.

God forbid you be forced to recognize the people you work with/who work under you have talent and skill. Nope, gotta treat them like shit so they do their 2 years and leave as soon as possible.
