    Default Happy Birthday...

    ...Kistilan!!!

    If I thought for a moment that you actually played DDO, I might be inclined to give you an in-game gift!

    Regardless, have a wonderful birthday.

    lol!!!

    You are a cruel man, Davey Crockett, and some day I will find my hand in your pocket to extract that birthday gift.

    Disclaimer: Not that way you perves! I'm serious. A paralyzer or something, ya know?

    The best presents so far were from Randolph AFB and Australia so far. Faernsprite sent me a Wallabies Fleece Pullover from Australia. However, Randolph AFB Sent me an OTS Class Date! 03 December 2007 Report No Later Than. Huzzah!

    And thanks Davey. grynz It's nice to know the luckiest guy in DDO has wished me well. Maybe I can pull a +2 tome for once with your well-wishes!!!

    PS: Birthday Cake Video!

    I was offering that as a suggestion to not get involved in the first place. I understand that it has already taken place though. Just seems like there are better career choices, available to everyone, than guns and violence.

    its not really a career... it was more of an option of free money and free education and a better pension over paying 80k out of my own pocket and trying to make it in the corparate world from the groud up self taught... there are more reasons than 1 to join the military (tho even I do not recommend it) there are viable options that some people would be better off for and the main reason of joining the military (when it was ALOT more peaceful) was mainly cause you got paid for doing nothing.... others found solice in thier work and their peers in ranks as well as a solid "pseudo"-family envionment... and believe it or not... a majority of the military/ex-military never enjoy having to fire thier gun/rifle/missles

    I understand the other benefits of joining the military... but I just can't get it into my mind why people would want to do something they don't enjoy and would end up killing people.

    Its not allways you will end up in that siutation (but more so now you have a chance of finding yourself in that situation) and many people never even think of having to confront someone with a rifle/gun and with technology increasing the way it is... most people soon will just press a button and kill half a city block and never have to think twice due to the de-sensitizing of training and mindless violence

    Because the options are not always there for everyone, or not that visable to them at the time, to get out of a pretty crappy situation they might not have had any control over until that point.

    Really if someone is a pacifist I can respect that. However until one has walked a mile in anothers shoes they really cannot have any idea of the multitude of reasons people join. And a few people I met in Boot were givin the choice by a judge between prison & The Marines, so that is always another reason.

    people join the military for a lot of reasons, While sure, Some are just huge losers in highschool and think joining the military will make them cooler, see kistilan, others do it because they have nothing else to do with their lives, and some do it just because they are stupid and think they will defend america by killing some poor ****er in iraq. A lot of people in the military join because they feel it is their duty to their country, or that it is the honorable thing to fight for America's freedom and defend their way of life. Or because their fathers and fathers fathers were military so it is just a way of life. So it's really not fair to hate on people in the military, people join for all reasons, some noble some not.
