How many billion went into that awsome plane that takes off like a helicopter but can fly like a plane that they only used like once?
Its fucking awsome but the amount of money that went into is stupidly high.
A good portion of it does go to contractors that over state how much money they need also. and many project mangers seem to have it in their head that if they have a budget, they must spend ALL of it instead of what they need. Use what you need, put the money into the next project, Do you really need to blow it all at a los vegas convention for debriefing?... err no.
DJ, the ammount of people in the active army is small, the ratio of citizens to solder is smaller then it has ever been. we have reached our "quota" due to our inability to budget money correctly.
Your wrong, there are less now then there was in past times. Quota doesn't matter, he is talking total numbers. They went over quota. You should be nice and fit to be in the military, and the PT test is better off being harder than it was, keep all the fat lazy bastards out and have the ones in now be in better shape to do the job called upon good.
Make all your last demands for I will forsake you and I'll meet your eyes for the very first time, for the very last.
maynard <ibis>: they are awkward and last 2 damn long. I prefer thinner smaller ones
More stringent PT standards makes my job easier. Get rid of FEP, fuck the fatties. Chiefs should be the only one's that can have a beer belly.
Lobbyists get paid so much because they typically have the education of a lawyer. At least any lobbyist worth a shit went to law school. You have the education in this country you get the big bucks, simple as that.
Don't expect more than six figures if you're not worth the six figures.
Keep the sheep producing, that's what capitalism is about.
If you're smart but poor and 'can't go to college because of financial burdens', enlist in the proper branch and select a job that will give you a future. Go army medic (sta-21, rotc scholarship to doc), go navy Nuke, Corpsman, seabee... don't join the fucking marines or army under a combat MOS or join the Navy under some shitty NEC like cartographer and expect to have a worthwhile job in the civilian sector. Get a visa and work out of the country. A focus on business is like gambling.. you are playing with luck. Stay away from business (entrepreneurial ventures) if you want job security.
Learn your value and apply it to the appropriate market.
Above all always practice humility and don't allow your ego to lead you in a bad direction.
Hope you enjoyed life lessons 101.
Wow I went off topic.
