    My boss at my second job stopped asking me to work. I'm not too heartbroken. I just really wish I'd hear back from the school I applied to.

    You're going back to regular school or army school? I have always meant to ask you why you didn't like reup or whatever unless it's personal.

    It is decent I suppose. It doesn't taste like it was microwaved or that sort of thing. A bit too salty for my tastes, but people seem to love it.
    Thanks for the advice. I've worked two jobs before, but never with the hours I currently have (I leave the house at five and get off of work at five). I just need to save up enough money to get a decent place to live, pay off debts and then I'll probably quit after six months. The job I currently have pays really well, but it isn't enough with the way my money is tied up, particularly given that I'm still paying the mortgage at my former fiancé's house.

    I didn't re-up because people in logistics departments cannot do their job. I had my paperwork ready to stay in and getting my student loans taken care of but the guy who was supposed to put a reservation in for me didn't so I lost the bonus and repayment plan. I was going to try for the same thing with the Reserves, but the counselor let my clearance lapse and I was no long eligible for the jobs I wanted. Everything fell apart, and I don't care for the Army anymore.

    I'm going back to school in the fall for Anthro. I'm doing it all on the Army's dime. They are going to pay for school, and give me a good amount of money while I'm there. I'll basically be doubling my salary going to school a day or two a week.

    Damn that fucking sucks BUT atleast you get to go back to school on them. Anthro is so interesting too. Good luck in school!

    Definitely makes sense and I've been there with the money being tight, and I'm sorry you're all tied up in that mess. Five to five would be brutal on me right now. Hope it really can all go away in the next six months for ya.

    My dad lost out on a lot of retirement benefits for similar reasons. I don't remember the specifics, but it all revolved around stupid logistics, etc. He's working for the VA now and happy, so it worked out alright I guess, but it's still a bummer.

    I want a new job so, so bad. But I'm planning on proposing this year, so the "smart" thing to do is not try and change jobs just yet.

    I'm just really growing to hate it here.

    Army S-1 is the worst thing in the entire org. I'm missing awards, paperwork, and that career because of their incompetence. Whatever though. I'm better off without.

    It's admirable how you're rolling with the punches bc you've had to deal with some bullshit here lately.

    Yeah, seriously. I've never served, but a whole bunch of my immediate family has, so I've had an outside view on how totally screwed one can be over some misfiled paperwork or some other small issue like that. It's sad. But yeah, you're making the best of it, it seems, so that's good.

    My family members are all about the military. One went from Afghanistan straight to South Korea.

    Rice + milk + butter + sugar, right? Delicious.

    Steamed rice, milk, raisins, maybe some cinnamon if I'm feeling a little risky. I've never had it with butter, though. Interesting.

    That isn't supposed to happen. lol. After you get back from deployment, you are supposed to get at least 6 months without going overseas again.

    Yeah my mom used to make it all the time. I basically thought of it like oatmeal but better, but now I realize it's a very different thing

    Mom made it all the time growing up. Funny cause I'm having my normal oatmeal at work right now, which made me miss breakfast rice even more. I'm surprised, you're the first person I've ever talked to who knows what it is and likes it.

    Gucci Mane did have his face tat removed. There is a conspiracy theory going around that this skinny Gucci is really a clone.
