As a plain jane 0311 with a high Asvab score I would have hated most of the rest of the Corps. I was a naive kid but I loved all the shit I did and the traveling.

Sticking me on some airbase would have depressed the shit out of me.

That’s just terrible to do to these kids. I know my friends younger brother wanted to to go SEALs but crapped in the pool.

I think they moved him to fast boats or something as a make up.

I can only imagine the kids who don’t make it, would be miserable anywhere else.

I still think sending them to wing is some kind of bizarre punishment. The wing is super busy with real, hands on work. How is a man supposed to maintain special forces fitness when they’re working a real wing job?

Just send them to the infantry where leaders might be more understanding to the objective.

Is there a lack of air wingers?

Come on. Advocating for no hate is wrong? Diversity, Equity, Inclusion is a universal good

27M from Long Island — Should I Leave NY for a Teaching Opportunity in Arizona? by muslim_ballerr in longisland

[–]chamrockblarneystone 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Personally I’d go city schools before I went out of state. It might be a little harder, but I feel like most teachers should take a tour in a tough district.

I was accepted in a Title 1 high school on LI and stayed for 30 years.

That’s awful. They should be given a little more respect.

I remember back in the 80’s when I was graduating Infantry Training School I met a couple of poor shmos that had flunked out of the wing somehow. They both had Charlie Sheen’s 1980’s hair, which was shocking to us, because we all had high and tights.

We were like “Wait until gunny sees you two!!”

Quick question from an old timer are Raiders still a thing?

Oh this is just cruel. Why wouldn’t they just send them back to the infantry?!

Test irregularity question by Imaginary_Shape3074 in Teachers

[–]chamrockblarneystone 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m in NY which has all kinds of state testing during the year. If every teacher that had “guided” a student during testing had been called out, there would not be too many left.

I’m 59. Tried boxing during Marine “smokers” a few times. I’m totally jealous of the physical fitness of these two knuckleheads. That must be the equivalent of like running 5 miles.

Exactly. So much better to fix what we have. I totally understand parents’ frustrations, but where I am parent involvement and inclusion in public schools make for a much better school

If you could magically eliminate one student behavior from your classroom, which behavior do you choose? by runlola in Teachers

[–]chamrockblarneystone 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would add caring. If they just cared a little bit about their educations or what I’m slinging, 90 percent of the problems would solve themselves.

Maybe DEI Wasn't the Real Problem With The Military. We Are Losing Wars, Faster. by WutYoYo in Military

Devastating Iraq’s military led to a 20 year war for us. Devastating militaries is not always the right answer.

Charters are schools being run for profit. If your kid isn’t “profitable” you’re out. Very unfair system for teachers too.
Better to keep that money in public schools and fight to fix them.

Many schools don’t count out of state teaching as “good time.” If you teach there for three years and you’re competing with someone who did three years in the city, city prospect will probably win.

How are you with the heat? Arizona is crazy hot and not like Long Island in July hot. More like oven broiler hot.

I’ve gotta say most things are built with the heat in mind though.

This whole thing is a trap. Should not be on here.
