        The NASCAR sponsorship by the National Guard Bureau has been very effective. Admittedly it benefits in Southern and Midwestern National Guards most because that's where NASCAR is popular; at the same time, those states are the ones which have the least difficulty manning their units. If that went away I wouldn't be surprised if states took up funding that.

        Having a lot of applicants isn't a bad thing for the military. Recruit quality has been going up lately. In ROTC, standards have tightened considerably over who can get a scholarship. Around 2006, it was as if they were willing to commission just about anyone.

          I am 95% confident that is not a thing.

              I swore in again today and signed my enlistment paperwork. Will be waiting on the November boards.

                  Guy, he almost described you to a T. Just need to mention something about the expectations that the Detroit Lions will inevitably collapse and he's got you in a nutshell.

                    I'm not saying he's wrong.

                    But I'm not wrong either.

                        What's your contract length? Do you know your unit already, or do you apply for a unit after you commission?

                          the BBC is amazing, but it's no surprise that the likes of you don't appreciate it.

                            I think the PBS is an unnecessary expense, and not an appropriate activity for the government. But I think it is one of the less evil things that the government does. It's pretty cheap, it's educational, and it's blandly inoffensive. When I was a kid I never watched it except when we had to for school. I didn't mind watching it in class, I just never felt it was worth my personal time at home.

                            In other words, I couldn't care less about PBS.

                              Pretty sure that's Rochester, Minnesota.

                                America's Army is an integral step to train the next generation of mech/android operators who will gloat about their number of headshots when we invade whatever's after Iran.

                                PBS has even more potential in this regard, but it's largely wasted.
