    Looked like weaseling out to me.

    And everything I posted in thoes threads is absolutly correct, you cant quit in the military so the only ways out before your ETS are what I suggested, you wouldent have to do that if they allowed you to quit, you have to do what you have to do.
    then to the evidence. Back up your claim

Its the few bad apples (ie drill sgt types) that ruin it for everyone else, the military is probably pretty good about weeding thoes people out when it comes to dealing with high level gov scientists and engineers but people like pegwinn are always around to yell out some derogatory remark and they are rarely delt with satisfactoraly, if you want to run around calling GS-13s pouges they ought to bust you down to private and take some pay, and thoes are the drill sgt types.

    My wife also worked with a general in the army corp and she was a civilian and she was the one who did all the work set up etc for enviornmental abaitment work and she was dressed up and getting ready to present and he told her to get him some coffee and when she refused he got all pissy so the project manager took over the discussion and it was a big melodramatic scenene because the general was a POS. The problem with the military is if you get stuck working under one of these POS's you dont have to much choise, I never said everyone in the military was like this but there are enough to make the military in general suck.

    All sectors have their jackasses. In fact, the corporate world is much worse.

So im here lets have a fun debate, but others must post debate worthy material otherwise its not a debate.

The bottem line is the military could not do jack squat without the technology that the contractor brings you (planes, tanks, body armor, guns, you name it a contractor smarter than you conceptualized it, designed it and built it. Some of this military hardware is a feat of human ingenuity (stealth technology, nuclear weapons, guided missles, etc) all also brought to you by the degenerate bum civilian contractor. Military get pissy when people dont respect the military but its ok to for them to disrespect civilian contractors, I just thought it was time some of these over zealous military members be put in there place, and regardless of what is said in these forums if you ever served in a national labratory or with high tech contractors you were on your best behavior otherwise you got your a$$ reamed, you dont treat GS-13 scientists like E-1 privates not even an O-10 can get away with it unless he has a really good reason nor do you treat a boeing engineer like an E-1 private.
    GS-13s are STILL winey-assed, primadonna civilians and I treated them like shit if their behavior warranted it, and I damned-sure didn't get my ass reamed.

    And I got news for you ... I don't need a DAMNED thing to wage a war except an enemy.

    directly (adverb) - 1)In a direct manner; in a straight line or course.

    2)In a straightforward way; without anything intervening; not by secondary, but by direct means
    and

    indirect (adj) -Not direct; roundabout; deceiving; setting a trap; confusing

    wow..you are right..those are exactly the same. i was wrong all of this time! thank you for opening my eyes.

    I work with people who are military as well (in civilian clothes) and I also have never had a problem I love my job.
    i thought you did it indirectly

    I agree canadians are pretty damn nice people
    they do rock, i have some Canadian friends..
    the military is probably pretty good about weeding thoes people out when it comes to dealing with high level gov scientists and engineers but people like pegwinn are always around to yell out some derogatory remark and they are rarely delt with satisfactoraly, if you want to run around calling GS-13s pouges they ought to bust you down to private and take some pay, and thoes are the drill sgt types.
    where did he say that he did it to everyone? he did it to those that were already being shitty because they probably had your mind set Mr. I am so smart and you are a retarded soldier.

    I never said everyone in the military was like this but there are enough to make the military in general suck
    yah...ok. Mr. Couldn't cut it ( wow! you have two 'Mr' titles! you must be special! like...like...an engineer or something!)
