As my first couple were under the 4 year time line, people who joined after the switch would look at my ribbon and wonder why I had gold stripes (12 years good conduct) but not awards for Good Conduct. I got my gold stripes. It took me a little longer than 12 years, though. 4 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Received my Good Conduct at 4 Years. Applied for and received a School Cut of of two months and a day so my DD-214 shows 5 years 9 months and 29 days of Active Duty with an Honorable Discharge. Due to a paperwork snafu I was carried on the rolls as Enlisted Reserve for a full 2 years, then they backdated everything to my Contract Expiration Date.

Marvin 35852 Report post Posted April 5, 2018 I had a great idea for a kind of Bebop-meets-Firefly comic I think would've been pretty broccoliin'. Didn't think it'd look too good in stick figures tho. 1 hour ago, Mad Jack said: Maybe you could move to Europe and get a job as a sculptor's model - there are plenty of old Gothic-style buildings and cathedrals that need their gargoyles replaced... They'd either have to really scale me down or use some sort of space-age lightweight polymer to avoid some serious tumbling from the eaves. I'd prolly look good with wings tho...

(Truth to tell, I have been through this before many times. It seems to be a natural part of the learning process. It just feels frustrating when one is going through it.) 8 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mad Jack 44672 Report post Posted April 5, 2018 Especially Liefield... I'm not sure the man is actually aware that a woman's butt and breasts are on opposite sides of her body. @Pingo - You're a classically-trained professional artist trying to work in a fairly simple medium... You're probably just overthinking things and trying too hard. 9 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pingo 108434 Report post Posted April 5, 2018 Holy cats. Last might a campus police officer shot a student* who was yelling and smashing windows with a piece of metal pipe. It’s the first time in the history of this university a university cop ever shot anybody. *in the shoulder. The kid is in stable condition. 1 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"Do one thing every day that scares you." Not sold on that, myself, but it came to mind. (In IT work, you very rarely want to do something that scares you. I've done it, but I have a saying: "Just because I can do something doesn't mean I ever want to do it.") 12 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mad Jack 44672 Report post Posted April 5, 2018 (edited) The older I get, the more people scare me... Particularly since more and more I'm beginning to look like the voice of sanity and reason in comparison. 4 minutes ago, Xiwo Xerase said: "Just because I can do something doesn't mean I ever want to do it.")
