Were it not for SteveBooth, I would still be wasting my life away in the real estate business and the energy industry.
You don't happen to have a spare imaginary job app do you?

Driving a rock bucket tends to be a "hurry up and wait" business. Over the past 18 months, those guys around here have been dropping like flies.

I imagine I could get you one, but I don't imagine it would do you any good, Repete!! I imagine the reason it pays so well is because I handle HazMat ping-pong balls and secret classified government freight. I imagine that I got this job because of my Top Secret Security Clearance that I got back when I was a Navy SEAL while serving in the US Army in Vietnam.

Heh heh.....Waaaayyyyyy toooooooo many of the apologist/hero types languishing around aren't there Useless?

LOL Seems to me that not a single person in the Armed Forces ever served as a REMF....................

They're all mostly full of ****. They degrade those who took the plunge and served (serve) as special forces elements of the US military.

They have hidden behind anonymity (supposed) because of the inherent problems/delay with obtaining military records from the US Government. Not much longer though.....................ARPERCEN (Army Personel Center St. Louis) and the other branches to follow will be fully automated/digitized and completely online. Asswipe that served as a mail clerk in Vietnam and claims to have "wiped out everthing on the Ho Chi Minh Trail"................will be exposed for the asswipe that he/she is.

Thus, Useless.................maybe we will be blessed with hearing less of the US Navy SEALS/ARMY Delta Force/Air Force Para rescue BULL**** stories.

They're a dime a dozen.
