Sometimes I wonder if he's having us on...

What is Al's degree in anyways?

[KrazyHorse]

Fail

I'm think it's a family member, not RM himself who has cancer.

Thought so too.

Put yourself in his place; he has a college degree, has never worked anywhere other than a fast food restaurant, is unemployed, has been rejected from the army 3 times and is a 26 year-old virgin living in the slums of Philadelphia.

How much of a sense of humor would you have?

I don't know, man. For a sympathetic statement, I don't know, somehow it seems to lack something. I don't know what. It's true and all, but still, something...

[KrazyHorse]

I am trying to spur him toward making better life decisions. He should give up on his failed plan to commission into the military, move out of the ****hole he's in, gain some global perspective and find a real job interacting with normal people.

I agree on all points. My brother did time in the Air Force and when he left he acted like that's it, he's done. Al reminds me of him.

Isn't there a limit to the number of attempts for entering OCS?

[KrazyHorse]

Is albie attempting an empirical investigation into that question?

Are you familiar with Spam folders? Kind of the same deal.

no one would ever make up stories on the internet

(Whether he's making it up or not, it's clear he loves the attention those characteristics bring.)

[MikeH]

I thought it was a family member too.

xkcd is still very good.

I have liked smbc a bit recently.

There's an age limit, yes. Albie is intentionally narrowing his commissioning opportunities because he wants to be a super hardcore Marine. It doens't seem to compute with him that EVERYONE wants to be a super Hardcore Marine(meaning competition is much higher), and maybe he should just join the Army instead of Army Jr.
