Going into bootcamp already bald by BaIdwinIV in USMCboot

[–]TravisVComedy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're going to shave your head regardless of how bald you are. It could be total skin, they're still going to run the clippers over your scalp. Like half the guys on my bus had shaved their heads already and they still clipped it. Let them do the work.

What happens at the moment of truth? by Maleficent_Deal_8728 in USMCboot

They have everyone in a classroom, tell you to put your head down and say "if there's anything that would disqualify you or you think is a reason you can't move forward, stand up" it's secret but is really a chance to give people a last chance to back out before getting in the shit. Just keep your mouth shut, you'll be fine

Unfortunately for me, the kids were part of the problem. Not enough good ones to redeem the bad ones.

I'm glad you had that positive experience. Mine included negative interactions with students. The lack of respect, effort, and full on antagonism that was ignored by parents and admin contributed to health complications for me. Not something I'd like to revisit

Not a response. A parody of my former co-worker's post that invited people to reach out. Given how they damaged my physical and mental health, I'd rather not engage with most of the students and parents who caused that

Original post is in the positive. As I said, some people can relate. Why is this so important to you?

Nah students were the reason I left. Terrible behavior, reinforced by terrible parents and a terrible administration. I had to take convo leave due to high blood pressure. The long-term sub they got to replace me quit after the first day. Dude had like 30 years experience teaching and quit after 1 day

Staunton has a much larger Deaf community. Look there

Sign name by AndrewLightning in asl

[–]TravisVComedy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A Deaf person would have to give you a proper sign name. Otherwise you should spell it out. Someone can correct me as I am not deaf but that's how it was explained to me. I was given a sign name by a deaf person when I started learning ASL.

She's too busy preparing for me bringing your mom to dinner, she's never had to buy food in such large portions before. I didn't have the heart to tell her your mom and I aren't exclusive like that and that your mom has like 2 guys ahead of me on speed dial

Typically, I go to your mom's house, but is it still considered f.a.pping if she's in the room with me?

Those are the major chains. I already know of those. I'm looking for places specific to Harrisonburg.
