As I sit here, up to my elbows in orders, training schedules, an essay on ISIS/ISIL, and career progression counseling; I can't help but think back to that time 12 years ago when I started this game to avoid school work. Talk about making a man laugh in misery.
I do a couple lines of homework, then read about guns, then a couple more lines, then read about reloading, a couple more lines, and then read about something else non-homework related.
I'm just looking forward to getting back home to the family and my reloading shack.
Thanks to the forum for being here to help keep me sane! |

Slow down man your making me dizzy. I am a one thing at a time guy most of the time but sometimes am a 1/2 thing at a time type.

1oldgentagain, you have to be a GySgt/E7 that has not been twice passed for promotion to go over 20. Even then, you're limited to 22 years. A 1stSgt/MSgt can go up to 27 with caveats, and a SgtMaj/MGySgt can go to 30 and stagnate Marines below them for a long time, lol. I'll probably push through to 20...maybe. I'm still trying to talk the Mrs. into letting me roll out early so I can start my job sweeping floors at the movie theater earlier.
As for officers, I'm not sure. Never really gave much thought to their career progression as they are on a whole other wavelength.
Heck, I'm sitting here doing homework again. 2 more weeks and I'll be back home with the family and back in my reloading room.
