Not many will care, but...

[SpaceYeti]

I passed the board and got my promotable status!

BOOOM!

 

[Pyropyro]

Congrats!

 

[SpaceYeti]

Thanks!

 

[TheScornedReflex]

Good shit! Now you get to tell even more people what to do. Right?

 

[Architect]

Congratulations!

(What does it mean?)

 

[Duxwing]

Woo! I hope that you get promoted.

Nope. It really doesn't mean anything except that I'm able to be promoted once I have enough promotion points... which will take forever in this MOS.

Congratulations!

(What does it mean?)

It means I have been judged, by a board of senior NCOs, to be qualified for promotion to Sergeant... just, I need to earn enough points to actually get promoted as determined by my MOS.

Woo! I hope that you get promoted.

Thanks!

When you reach Sergeant we'll need to get you some cigars to chew on

And a BFG or a chainsword...

 

[SpaceYeti]

I'll go chainsword.

 

[Cognisant]

Hydrogen peroxide, pneumatic motor, some bevel gears...
I reckon we (I) can do that

 

[Spirit]

E5?

Congrats.

 

[SpaceYeti]

Well, I still need my points, but I got the board, so the immediately stressful part is over. Now it's just... collecting points. Woo.

Excellent! Now, have you decided if you are re-enlisting or not? I've been in the Army for eleven months now, yet I can't see myself continuing past the minimum of four years in service for a 14 series. Curious if the thought is echoed down the line.

 

[Slacker_Assassin]

Congratulations, SpaceYeti.
May I ask what made decide to join the military? I'm involved with someone who is enlisted, and I'm always just curious as to what makes people decide to join.

 

[Cherry Cola]

You da bess Space Yeti.

I must ask though, aren't they sort of wasting your talents? What position/rank do you think would be optimal from a natural security point of view?

I've already reenlisted once. I currently plan on remaining in until I find a decent job offer outside of the military. The reason I joined is because I was broke as hell, with no decent chance at a decent job, and I had a son to take care of. I'm not getting out just to be jobless and super-broke again.

Congratulations, SpaceYeti.

^ That thing I said up there. Fuck being a bad dad who cannot support his son.

Natural Security? What do you mean by that?

Also, not really. My talents aren't really applicable to any job I'd have a realistic chance of getting. If they want me to play nerd games, they might find I'm talented at that, but I'm just as good at this job as I am any other. I'm good at figuring out how things work and operating in that environment, even if I may not like it all that much. In fact, I apparently have a talent for leadership in general and problem solving, so this is actually a pretty good job for me, by pure chance. I just... don't find it all that fun.

 

[Duxwing]

What do you want to be, SpaceYeti?

[SpaceYeti]

Ninja.

 

[The Gopher]

Man.... I know I had something really witty to say here but I had to leave and now have lost it.... Congrads though.

 

[ApostateAbe]

I passed the board and got my promotable status!

BOOOM!

I am actually one of those people who doesn't care.

Congrats SGT (almost) SpaceYeti!

Now where's our treat?
