Tread softly, young wannabe-Jedi. The oft-repeated, and more oftenly ignored, advice of "read more, post less" comes to mind.
On second thought: I just waded through all 38 of your posts. I found two of them deleted by moderators. I found this gem of a response to a QP's advice to you -
Quote:
i feel like qualifying what i know of my personal potential and why i feel that i will succeed would just seem grasping. i didn't ask you for your opinion on me or an evaluation. until i qualify or fail there is nothing that needs to be said on it because whether i succeed or not it won't be because of what anybody said or thought about my chances at it. in any case it will never affect what i have to do, which is constantly work for what i want. like they said at Auschwitz, "work will set you free".
So until i'm ready to ship off, i don't see any point in enumerating my attributes so you can wish me whatever kind of luck you like. i come here to listen primarily. perhaps i will have a question but there aren't many that aren't out there already.
|
And this response to it from another QP -
Quote:
|
Abba - your lack of SA exhibited in your intro started this and your continued failure to understand the 'character' of this BB is obvious with this second post. It has become tiring; if y'all wanna chat any further about this, take it to PM - this is the Intro thread. Do not post again in this thread. Richard
|
You were advised some time ago to dial up your SA. Do it. Now. You have been advised to improve your mode of communication - punctuation, grammar, sentence structure. Do it. Now.
Your lightly packed rucksack could very soon find its way to the hall.

Can one of our graphically-talented QPs come up with one of those?!? It could be the award given prior to the rucksack being placed in the hall!

This is an old thread
This is an old thread from years back and mentioned a study that had been going on for a few years.
Now - I'm not a Doc but I have put a thinking cap on a time or three.
Sampling of enlistees, sampling of Airborne volunteers, sampling of SFAS vols and grads and at the very end sampling of the SFQC grads.
That would answer the "Big" question.
Looks as if somebody has got on the Federal Grant Gravy Train and will ride it for all they got.

That's a great idea...kind of like a CIB but with a D handle shovel in place of the rifle.
Or perhaps crossed shovels with a miner's helmet placed in the center...kind of a take off of the combat diver badge.

Your impulsiveness and lack of SA is going to become a problem in your near future.
