If by "pop country" you mean "the stuff they play on Country Music radio stations," then yes, yes I am. My wife tells me the genre didn't use to suck so hard, back when Johnny Cash was in charge or something.

Originally posted by Al B. Sure! View PostThat's how OCS works. There's no recycling like enlisted basic. There's only 3 classes a year so they're not going to keep you around as walking wounded until the next class starts because that would be literal months away. With enlisted basic, they can do that because there's more classes.

This is the point that bothers me.
Albie is currently trapped by his refusal to consider back-up plans. He's now facing turning down a good job because he couldn't see the point of learning to drive. He didn't consider other military options because only Marines Officer would do.
If he becomes an officer in the Marines, he could be making decisions that men live or die by. Wouldn't you hope those decisions got made by people who make reasonable back-up plans to cover anything less that 100% success?The genesis of the "evil Finn" concept- Evil, evil Finland

Since when did Alby ever listen to any advice from any of us...?

Why, thank you, BK. Still not gonna discuss anything with you, but thanks. While we're being conciliatory here, maybe we could ease up on Alby too? I know he gets hammered on a lot, but dang, save some for later.

Again, unless you're Pax, you can't speak on it. Pax is the only poster here who was an officer in the Naval services.

Outside the marines they are all good skills which could come in handy. Your lack of driving may prevent a job now-- hell sicne you are reasonably fit already you could probably bicycle there ( you said it was a 30 minute drive-- In rush hour downtown I can bike further than I can drive in 30 minutes but if its urban (instead of freeeway) you could probably bike it in a reasonable time-- Even if its an hour each way -- so what as it doubles as a workoutYou don't get to 300 losses without being a pretty exceptional goaltender.-- Ben Kenobi speaking of Roberto Luongo

Anyway, the interview lasted 1 hr 52 minutes by my reckoning.

They wanted to make the commute seem worthwhile. A 30 minute interview and you would have felt gyped
But my interview beats yours in duration and distance. I flew to Dallas and had 1 hour interviews with different individuals from 8-12 ( yes FOUR one hour interviews!!) -- Then I was taken to lunch by my boss to be. The hotel they put me up in was pretty nice too.
Then I had a few hours to kill so I went to the Texas Book Depository where they have a museum on the 6th floor (including a recreation of the spot the shots were fired fromYou don't get to 300 losses without being a pretty exceptional goaltender.-- Ben Kenobi speaking of Roberto Luongo
