Yes I am in the Army (USA)...AmericanBastard is my home ego where Joey is my work Ego.
But first...is this a bad thing :D
TheQuirk:
It's just NJROTC talking. :P
AmericanBastard:
I'm a 33 year old guy...a Sergeant in the US Army, I am too old and too opposed to the junior hitler corps (aka rotc programs be them jr or college). I don't believe children who have hardly set thier feet on lifes path should be oriented towards a life in the military...It is a decision people should make based on the fire in thier heart and soul, a love for thier country and patriotism. Not have it drilled in them from birth.
AmericanBastard:
Ya'll may have to wait for a while. Windows has reached it's mandatory "please reformat your hard drive so I can reinfect it with a new series of plagues" level. I am going to try SuSe Linux install, but don't have my settings for internet, it may be a day or two before I'm back.

Oh, I know that (the fact that you're already old, etc.)--it's just that I wanted to say something funny.
Anyway, as for the JROTC comment, I'm not planning on getting on a military career--it just seemed like a fun class (which, BTW, it is--I got back from an orinteering meet a few hours ago).
Also, though I'm not sure if other programs do it like this, our "instructors" encourage us to go to college instead of joining the military. In fact, if you say you're joining the military instead, they'll "have a talk with you." So don't be so angry with it.
