Obviously it's easier for someone with fewer expenses. But it's even more important for someone with dependents.

As far as kids, I'm sure glad I don't have any. Being a dad would be awesome, but so is my current situation. Either way that goes is fine by me.

Nothing wrong with being a bachelor. You can have great times, whenever you want!

I don't plan to do any more than community college (if that). I don't want to sell the first major part of my independent life to college fees, and I don't care if I get rich. Just want a small house, a few dogs, and as much simplicity as possible.

There would be a lot of people who try and convince you to aspire for more. To me... That sounds like a great, peaceful and happy life!!

Recently I was looking into joining the national guard, according to what I've read they will pay tuition and room and board to any state school.

I tell every young man i know, see, or talk to about this option if they are talking about school. The military has a lot of BS involved i want lie about any of it... But the good out weight the bad a lot of the times and regardless of ANY of that.... serving your country is something to be proud of and looked up at for!

I had a friend who joined up to get the Army to pay off like 40 grand in student loans too.. So its possible to go in reverse as well. He had to agree to serve 4 years active for full payment... But the job we both picked required a minimum of 5 years anyways because a year and a half of that was special training in different locations.

But you can get free schooling for way less commitment and still be doing something good for your country and get some valuable training while your younger in life... Not to mention stories that will last the rest of your life!

One of... -THE- absolute best option for younger men who want schooling and dont want to or cant go through other means. :thumbup:

The military has always been something I've wanted to do, so when I found out about this it just made sense. I'm also considering going active after college, or going through ROTC, not entirely sure yet.

As promised, play pics. I'm the guy in the snazzy blue suit (obviously).

We've been quite happy with how well the Air Force has taken care of us. If you don't mind moving around and having someone telling you what to do, it's a great option.

Ray. You're right. Here you go..

Or had any effect on the zygotes of my children.....

I seriously doubt it had any effects on mine... We weren't careful 2 times in 10 years.... And we have 2 kids that trace back exactly to the 2 nights we weren't careful...

Safe to say, I ALWAYS pull out now. Kids make great birth control

sometimes too good of a method to use

Looks like it was a lot of fun Nos. What a blue suit and fake beard!

This thread has become entirely too serious and practical and full of good advice. I may have to abandon it and wander off into General for a few days.

Just throw caution to the wind, go full on into Practac.

 

[granitestateofmind]

I'd recommend that if that's your plan, look into trade Schools or vocational schools as well. Welding, mechanics, metal fab Etc

Great part about the trades is you can usually make money working as an apprentice while also doing school towards licensure. Plus no one in some foreign country with a phone or Internet connection can ever take your job.

I do go there when I want to have a bout of uncontrollable, hysterical laughter and wish to lose control of my bodily functions. Can't do that too often because the neighbors complain.

Yup. Sure will. :thumbup:

Awesome, now I know was just technique and not the knifs

Perhaps the spine isn't squared enough?

I don't think that was it, the knife in question has a pretty sharp 90° spine. BTW, it's an LT Wright camp muk

Ah. My BHK Scatty Crafter has the sharpest spine I've ever seen.

Are you pulling the firesteel or pushing the knife?

 

[NCSlice]

If I saw a Reinhardt kuk on the exchange I'd look at it, but I'd hold out for the new style...I think the price would be a bit steep since some of us are holding funds for the RBK.

 

[spikebot587]

Thanks alot NC, you may have just cost me some money

 

[Captain Airyca]

Hey has anyone heard from Captain Airyca? Was checking out her old threads the other day and man she had some cool threads. Girl likes to get out in the wild and do some cool stuff..

Why hello! I still like to do cool things - actually going on a hike Friday thru Sunday! I haven't been active mostly due to school. I have been doing school/work/internships non-stop for a couple years including the summer. Got myself a fancy Bachelor of Arts in English just a couple days ago though, so that's sweet. Even have a job interview on Monday. I also got married - and I like doing wife things. Hope to pop in here a bit more often now that I'm not studing like a crazy person! I've missed y'all!

He said flint and steel. Different procedure.
