I suppose that he is going to College next. I remember the discussion that Meiun went to college first, but Scotty chose to go into the Military. At any rate, he's not me so I don't know for sure ;o. Well done, Scotteh!

It's not like he slept with his commanding officer's concubine and got sent to the front, ya know. ;D Earlier post was supposed to be here, read yours and hit reply. No freaking clue how it ended up in other topic.

Grats. What are you planning on doing now that you're done?

If all goes well, I'll be moving out to Maryland for work.  I got a couple of job offers that I'm looking into, and gonna spend next week pretty much constantly on the phone.

Technically, I'm not *free* until 2011, but until then I am on the inactive reserves, meaning pretty much, I'm done, unless they decide to recall me before 2011.  Highly unlikely, as the trend that I've seen when it comes to getting recalled, is that they are looking for people who sat back and didn't do anything their entire enlistment (such as no deployments).  Since I've done more than most others can claim to want to do in the first 5 years of their enlistment, I highly doubt their calling me back in.

I will be attending college while I'm working full time.  I  could just go to college and use the GI Bill that I've earned, and live off that, but I need to maintain my security clearance, and it'll expire next year if I'm not working and using it (ie going just to college and not working as well).  So I'll be a part time student while I work.  Might take a while to finish.

I paid taxes just like every other American while I was in (except when I was deployed, everything was tax-free  ;) )

One massive congrats to you. I sure know I couldn't have put up with the Marine Corps for a year, much less 5 1/2.

I'm sure he has pictures from other events where he's in uniform. They probably just look similar...

Am I invited to this BBQ?...   :P
What would be pretty great is if Stick-online had it's own meet, so we can all get to know one another personally. However, I really don't have time to travel and do so...
Oh, ahaha. Just found this topic right after posting - http://www.stick-online.com/boards/index.php?topic=456.0

Lol I know! I wish we had an 8 day week with 3 weekend days. And 28 hour days. There's not enough time for everything.

But hey, if you're willing to put us up I think we're down to come hang out for a couple days some time in the next few weeks. Btw, you know about the San Diego Beer Week going on this week?

WAIT!?! BEER WEEK!?!  WHA!?!?!

Dude, get your ass down here, STAT!

Scotty, this would be a rare instance of a thread being hijacked by the very person who made it. Congratulations, but why did you join in the first place?
Title: Re: After five and a half years...
Post by: stick d00d on November 09, 2009, 08:10:27 PM
most people join the military to help pay for college.. also you can get good career opportunities whether you stay in or leave, personally i would never join the marines.. so props to you and congrats!

Damn. I assumed you would have known. Yea, all week (actually started last friday) all the breweries/restaurants in the San Diego area are having specials and what not. The main event was actually last weekend, but check out the website for what else is going on. http://sdbw.org/

I had planned to go, but - of course - things got busy and now I don't have time.

Either way, I'll hit you up to let you know when we can head down.
