Why do you need a job? Aren't you part owner of some computer support business? Haven't you posted threads about how much money you make at such a young age?

You've also posted that you're renting out your current house for less than it costs to pay your current rent. You don't get army family housing overnight you know.

Another ZJ Shens post.

just because you own a business doesnt mean your making any money, like i said were barely scraping by... im just gonna let it go, where i live there's barely any demand for what i do, i mean, i've made MAYBE a couple hundred bucks in the last 2 weeks.. i survived before by selling this and that, supporting my habit pretty much... now i want to give back, i want to be someone, and the army ,well it's a way to turn your life around.

there's been times when i made alot of money, and there's been times when we struggled...


the guy i was in business with was a copier support/sales guy and his dad pretty much kept us going through the hard times, and well he's getting old, and i dont know if we can do it alone.

And the US Army has legal/moral standards for entry that you can't pass b/c you have a FELONY drug arrest (at least one that I remember that you posted here). Your past (the past that is public record b/c you were too stupid to not get caught) will prevent you from entering any branch of the US Armed Forces.

30 years ago it was different. No matter how many fuckups you had, you could always "join the Army." Not now. Not since about 1995 or so. You would think that our county needs brain-dead bullet stoppers; and you'd be correct. But the Federal laws have changed. You need to be relatively clean (no felony arrests/convictions) to even be a bullet stopper these days.

People can change...I know this. But, your PUBLIC record cannot be changed. Sorry...good luck to you in the private sector.

Not if you're dead.


OK lets say this thread WAS real (which we all know its probably made up bullshit)

But this assbag would take better care for his family if he were dead with the insurance his family would recieve from the military. In all actuality, he would be worth more dead than alive in terms of supporting a family.

I have seen people being banned for a LOT less than that, telling a father that his family is better off with him dead is NOT ok, no matter what you think you know of him over the internet.

This shit isn't tough, it's does not make you a big man, all it makes you is a pathetic little wanker, especially since you continuously whine in PFI about how people wronged you.

The biggest assbag in this thread is without any doubt you.

Really? Just "possession?" You got really lucky. Then again, you're probably lying. Just remember that Karma's a Bitch.

i was arrested in front of the office with some pills, i was on probation at the time for poss. of mary jane, it revoked my probation so i had to sit 32 days in jail (the remaining time i was probated for)

i STILL havent went to court for the pills, i went and talked to the judge today and she said she would waive it if i joined the service... so it's not just about job security and money, it's a way to get my life back on track, get a clean slate.... i cant pass this up.

I love it when Zane Johnson makes retarded-ass threads, and people reply to them as if he were telling the truth and not some assbag making threads to stir up a hornets next once a week. Get a clue people!

nick1985 speaks truth.

oh i beg the differ, now im always gonna have that "urge" to use, but as long as i stay strong and pro-active i wont have time/desire to..

that month of withdrawals i went to pretty much kicked my ass into submission... as long as i never have to feel that shitty again i'll be happy.
