there's also ways to get paid for other things too! but i'm neither smart or attractive enough for all of those things!


my cousin got me to go through the marine recruitment office once-- after he had already enlisted, he wanted me to join as well (never said it, but likely so he could get the bonus off me). after taking their test, the sergeant giving me the test paused for a minute with a look on his face, and then slowly said "well, every military has a lot of positions other than combat duty..."

and that was as far as a concept of a military career went for me. some days i wonder if it would've been nice to do a tour or two and retire by 35 with a pension, but it would've meant i would've enlisted right before iraq, and it would not have been a pleasant time to be enlisting. i'm also not entirely sure i'd survive boot camp either.
