Absolutely retarded.

Different times call for different forms of teaching. I saw an example of this where an exam from the 1930s (or something like that) had many questions about geography and grammar, but very little on math/science. I disagree with Nostix. Engineering degrees are much harder to acquire than any...

What's the point of those "increase CR by 10 percent for 24 hours" type things? I find them utterly useless. Someone help me out here.

Will everyone then get 10 merit points? :nod:

Yeah, good game.

Yes, it is possible but it depends who is offering the course. You might do bmq in the summer, then sq right after and do dp1 on weekends at your home unit. When I was at BMQ this summer I believe people were being told they could sign up for an SQ+DP1 course in the fall.

The game part was a joke. I thought that was obvious since there was a ";)". Nor Am I spending real money on the game. This thread isn't here to defend my lame attempt at humor, but to outline a problem concerning the ability for other members to effectively burn money other members have spent...

I am a martyr, gentlemen.  ;D edit: Why not make the milpoints that are purchased through Afghan Ops be added to Afghan Ops in a separate "pool". So even if you have -2000 MP, you can still buy something in Afghan Ops, providing you bought some Afghan Ops MP.

You can go see a recruiter if you have any questions. The biggest part of the reserves, imo, is the training you do during the summer. Not something you can really 'watch'.

Army food is delicious. I don't care what anyone says. They have really good desserts! You can eat as much as you want, but you have to go to the back of the line each time you want a second/third/fourth/etc serving. If there's no one in line, well then that's gravy. ;D

;D

You can die by falling off a bicycle that is standing still. You do so by hitting your head. Depending on how you fall, where(/what) you fall (on) and how much weight you're carrying can be anything from nothing to breaking your back. I'd say in full gear (+70 pounds) you could risk injury at 5...

You know what I meant. ::) edit: If they don't know about the army they'll assume it's a full time commitment.

-700 milpoints? Jesus christ! That's gonna kill my progress in "Afghan Operations". Argh.  ;D When people ask me what I do (as a reservist), the conversation usually goes like this: Them: What's the army reserve? Me: You're part of the Army, but it's part time. So you're allowed to have your...

I don't see the problem with it. A few members of my BMQ(c) added me and that's fine. As long as they/you are professional and 'respect the boundaries' when you are on DND property or in uniform, I would think it would be fine. If they start posting stupid stuff on your wall, you can always...

Tell them you eat babies.

Whta causes our armed forces to be so small? It is a restriction brought on by budget, by necessity (don't need more than X amount of Y,Z) or by poor infrastructure?

This stuff is gold  ;D
