Ask Me Stuff

I've not done an interview thread in a while so go ahead and ask me stuff.
I have been remiss by not wishing you well in your new endeavor - the military.

Will you still be able to be active on the forum?

Yes, but not nearly as much. We have weekends off unless we are actively engaged in a conflict and the hours are similar to civilian ones, depending on your internal job.

Just a point, unless things have changed you're actually obligated for six years. But:

Boxers or briefs?
It's four, they told me at my Army Briefing.

Boxer briefs.

It's four active, or a combo in active/active reserve. After that you're classified for two years as "Inactive Reserve". You can be recalled during that period. BTW, military induction personnel are not known for their veracity....

Yes, mostly,

"In 1999 the army increased its minimum length of service from 3 to 4 years. Army recruits under 18
years old are required to serve up to 2 years longer than a recruit who joins aged over 18 and so
commits to up to 6 year’s service when still a minor.
When forces personnel reach the end of their minimum length of service, they must give a year’s
notice (in the army or navy) or 18 months (in the air force).
Recruits may be required to serve for longer than the usual period if they undertake education or
training other than their initial training. The extension can be longer than the length of the course.

On leaving full time service personnel are transferred into the reserves which usually lasts for six
years. The army has the right to call up reservists for any reason for up to sixteen days in the year.
All three forces may call up reserves for longer periods during emergencies, or when the Defence
Secretary judges there is a national need."

You may have addressed this elsewhere, if so, forgive my redundancy. The question is, do you think Jesus Christ was a Rabbi? If you don't think he existed, then the question becomes do you think he was meant to be as presented in the Christian Greek scriptures?

No, I think he was not a Rabbi. I believe he was an apocalyptic street preacher.

Call me slow. You really are going into the military? Best of luck!

Exactly. It's even worse than when I was in.
