All good info, the inter-service rivalry is mostly good natured banter between vets. I would take offense to a civilian busting on any branch IMHO they dont get it. About the officer training, correct me if I am wrong but your wife is a P.A. or a DR right. Most of the services have relaxed standards for highly educated officers going into the service, in either Doctor status or lawyers. They often go in as a CPT and it isn't the same as normal officers, or enlisted. I don't have a problem with that just explaining why your wifes training was relaxed.

Yep, she's going to be a neurologist, hopefully. But my wife's training wasn't relaxed at all. Sounded fairly similar to what we were expecting. The Army training was the easy one, was the point I was making. The one health issue I have that would probably cut me out of basic these days is that I have GERD pretty bad, and often get a gag reflex when I experience significant temperature changes or get my heart rate up too high. I can keep working through it, but who knows. It's getting a bit better after I started a pro-biotic regimen though.


Wonder how long it will take to get to 2000...
 
So, I'm beginning to think my brother has a problem, the only thing he EVER talks about is fishing the only thing he thinks about is fishing. It's to the point he would rather go fishing than get laid.
 
In on two like the cool cats do.

I don't think Snark Threads count for that. I've been wrong before, though...

Ever time I do anything strenuous (Like run, jump, wrestle) my knee and/or my ankle is/are painful. It may go away with age, it may not.

Yeah I need one more regardless, well It says has started 5 threads, didn't specify whether or not it can't be a snark thread!
I digress, I'll probably wait to apply till I have 2 more meaningful threads anyways, no need to rush.
 
What, you think English teachers actually teach grammar in schools? Not likely. In point of fact, grammar isn't taught extensively in schools any more (which is why it's heavily tested on standardized tests).

It likely won't matter for mountainmist, since, as you point out, he's likely to decapitate himself with a butter knife and enter the Beckerhead Darwin Award database, at which point grammar won't matter.

For you grammarians out there, find the (grammatical) errors, if any, in the following sentences, and, for bonus points, correctly identify them:

"In the year 1492, Columbus discovered the New World, even though he was actually trying to reach India."
"Each night, the majority of people goes without a Becker knife."
"James Terrio told the student he needed to work on his grammar."
"My internet forum, like many of my friends, requires a small fee per month for proper enjoyment."
"After rotting in the cellar for weeks, Mountainmist brought up some oranges."
"The cowboys were standing out in the field, talking, and chewing a toothpick."
And, an easy one: "Ethan Becker designs knives and cooks amazing food. The reason is because he's a genius."

Actually, I lied. The last one isn't easy. I had intended to test parallel structure, but then changed it...
 
This will take me a few minutes.. Im starting this at 1233EST at which point there was/is no answers posted yet

"In the year 1492 Columbus discovered the new world, even though he was actually trying to reach India."

"Each night the majority of people go without a Becker knife."

"James Terrio told the student he needs to work on his grammar."

"My internet forum, like many of my friend's, require a small fee per month for proper enjoyment."

"Mountainmist brought up some oranges after rotting in the cellar for weeks, "

"The cowboys were standing out in the field talking and chewing a toothpick."

And, an easy one: "Ethan Becker designs knives and cooks amazing food because he's a genius."


Ok i tried to correct them... Not because im good at grammar, the exact opposite really... But im always willing to learn something :D

Feel free to call me an idiot... But at least point out where and why its wrong so i do learn something LMAO
 
Or.. "Ethan Becker designs knives, and cooks amazing food, because he's a genius." ???
