Well after so many months of thinking, i finally did it yesterday.....I ENLISTED IN THE ARMY!:tu: I will probably deploy in about 2 months or so after I take the ASVAB and learn all the basics before I leave for basic training. I signed for 3 years including 9 weeks for basic training and my dental school in San Antonio which is 36 weeks! One thing that hurt me was that i told my mom and she went ape s**t! :flaming: I have never seen her this mad but then she told me that she is mostly worried and alittle mad! Well wish me luck and if there is anything that you guys would like to add then im all ears! :tu:
I really dont know any of you guys but i thought i would like to share since i know that this is a big step in my life! In the meantime while im here i would like start going to gatherings and get to know most of you so if there is meet or something......im in!

Thanks, Luis

Luis,

Thank-you for your service to our country - and other TALON members' contributions. God-Bless.:tu::bows

Don't feel too bad, I waited a week (temporarily in OH./IL. on work) before I told the parents (in OK.) I bought the L. :flaming:. They figured if it will do 140, I'll do it and meet my demise.:rolleyes:

Mom/Dad didn't speak to me for over a week via cell. :evil Now, Dad's driven the L. to 80+ and Mom's asking to drive the L.:tu:

In what capacity are you serving, Luis? I understand you soldiers have WiFi even in Iraq.

Is this correct?

The point is that there is NO comparison between your so called big decision and his. Yours involves risking your credit rating for your ego - his involves risking his life for his country.

Doug,

Yes, I realize there is huge difference between the two.:rolleyes: My only point is that I upset my parents with a decision I made, which, they later came to accept and learn-to-live-with. Hopefully, Luis' mother will do likewise.:)

I certainly understand there is a night-and-day difference between mine and Luis' actions/decisions. My only point was that I hope his mother learns to accept his decision, as mine did.

What I find ridiculous is your seemingly psychic insight into my motivations behind buying the L - and "risking your credit rating for your ego"? :rolleyes:

Whatever. I'm not going to indulge the ego/credit jab, and let Luis' thread go further awry. You're entirely wrong, I can assure you.:cool: That's never been an issue.

Feel free to PM me off-line with any additional comments/exchanges.

Thanks,

BWAHAHAHA!!!:rll: The ol' :ron: debate is alive and well on teh TaLoN!!

Luis, congrats for making a decision to do what is right for you. My dad was in the Army Air Corp, my grandad in the army as well, not to mention my jarhead son. So I can appreciate what you're doing and why.

Doug, *I* got Ronald's point, did you hit neutronium density in 1.3 seconds, again?? :tongue:

Tex...there is no debate. Ronald trys to come off as somehow intelligent. But instead, he makes posts that make him look like he missed the little yellow bus one day to many.

To compare his parents being upset over him buying a truck(which is about the most rediculous thing I have ever heard in itself, unless he was 16 when he purchased it), to a guys Mom being worried about him getting killed in the desert by a pizzed off Arab, is just absurd.

Rocks:tu:

dboat

12-18-2005, 02:08 PM

Ok, I have read enough, and I cant not post on this one..

I know Ronald to be a pretty decent guy. And I clearly understood what he was trying to say when he made his post about comparing his getting a L to joining the military, in his mothers eyes.. However, I think such a comparison should have stayed on the sideline. That one is just too far of a reach. Its just not a fair comparison, no matter how much you try to justify it.
Besides, we all know that Ronald drives granny and it makes it even more ludicrous. :evil
Luis is going to possibly be putting his life on the line for guys like us, in situations over which he has very little control over what is going around him. Ronald has almost complete control based upon what he decides to do with his right foot and hands.

That is my .02

Ronald or Doug may not feel like I am defending either one of them, but this is the way I see it.

It's OK now. Doug changed it to Trying to understand Ronald. This means the conversation can go all over the place and still be on topic. Hell, if you can't think of anything to say, just type up some wild bullsh!t you have read in a book or watched in some movie and act like it was you it happened to. It will still be on topic...:banana: . It's now a :ron: thread, so just go wild. You can even Google up stuff you know nothing about and portray it as your own thinking.

Just think Wes, if it turns out your wrong about something you post, you don't have to admit it. Instead, you can deflect the conversation or even better still, you can pretend that you where misunderstood because your deep intellectual thinking far surpasses the rest of humanity.

There's no reason to try and bring this thread back on topic, since there obviously isn't one anymore, but since it can be about anything, I'll comment about the original post.

Unlike Dana and Garett, (but like Doug and Ron) I didn't understand what Ronald was trying to say there. Once he explained it, I took it at face value. He said it was about making decisions that Mom and Dad don't agree with and that seemed pretty reasonable.

He didn't say that his decision was on par with the decision Luis was making, and without saying so was made to defend it like it was some kind of whacked out comparison. His response was about making decisions that Mom and Dad don't like, not the desision of buying and L vs joining the Army. At it's basic level, that conversation could have happened over a beer and no one would have thought it was anything special.

Luis - "I joined the Army and Mom and Dad are really PO'd about it."
Ronald - "I remember how mad my parents were at me when I bought the L."

As far as the Ronaldism thing is concerned, it's no surprise that he gets the top hit. It was invented here. When I'm just hanging out with friends, most of the chatter is talk about stuff that people were reminded of by the stories that were told by the guy who just got done talking. I see no problem with that either and I have no idea why so many people try and make such a big deal of it here.

Ah, but the differences in a Ronaldism versus a regular story told over a beer are several things:

- relevance to topic at hand
- time it takes to tell a simple story/arrive at your point
- how defensive you get when people pick on you a bit :D

Brook.... for me.... comparing the decision to join the army and risk your life for God and Country to making the decision to buy a pickup truck was where it got out of line. Even if I where sitting with a group of friends shooting the sh!t...this would have the appearance of compromising the decision to join the army.

It would be like someone stating that they where being charged with murder and then their buddy says..yeah, I have to go to court for a speeding ticket.

Sorry, but I just don't see it that way.

You say that Ronald was comparing Luis' decision to join the army to making the decision to buy a pickup truck and it's just not there. The very part you quoted supports what I said where he indicates his comment was about making decisions that make parents mad.

Your analogy doesn't fit because there's only one subject being discussed. The idea of one person equating their crime to another crime.

In this original thread, we are talking about 3 things. The big decision of someone deciding to join the army. The big decision of buying the L (which Ronald clearly indicates is not as big as joining the army when he said)

Yes, I realize there is huge difference between the two.

and lastly, the idea that Ronald, like Luis, had done something in their past to peeve off their parents in a major way.

Ronald doesn't say anywhere, "Luis joining the army is like me buying my truck." What he did say, is that both of them were big decisions and obviously "big" is relative.

I spent almost 8 years in the Marines and I wasn't offended by Ronald's comment in the least.

I can respect that. I know I haven't been around as long as others have, but I think I've been around as long as Ronald has. I guess his posts and life stories just don't affect me the way it does others here. I have no problems with people's opinions of other people. To each his own.

You guys do realize, Ronald excluded, that you've spent 4 or 5 pages of posts analyzing what Ronald has said. Thats why we have :ron: in the first place. Was what he said really that provacative? Or are you guys just guilty of picking on somebody less fortunate. He can't help being a one armed, gimpy, schizo-cripple. He's probably sitting on his porch, wearing a dress, and yelling at traffic.

Just because Ronald's orbit is a bit more eccentric and somewhat retrograde to the rest of y'alls (mine's definitely retrograde AND fully perpendicular to boot), doesn't mean he doesn't make his point--it's just that it annoys some of y'all becasue of it's tendency to be more confined than y'alls.

QFT = QFE for idiots. Devised by those who lack an understanding of the word "Emphasis". Quoted for Emphasis is essentially the same as Quoted for Truth, only it makes sense. If you are quoting something "for truth", you are quoting it for, get this - EMPHASIS.

'QFT' is usually used by children (i.e, under 13) who have clearly not had internet access long enough. Thus it is usually found on forums with something to do with children's games - namely CS, and various MMOs.

comparing the decision to join the army and risk your life for God and Country to making the decision to buy a pickup truck was where it got out of line. Even if I where sitting with a group of friends shooting the sh!t...this would have the appearance of compromising the decision to join the army.

My comments are solely based on what I see here and how I perceive them. I can't always know what people mean when they post.

What you said, in it's entirety was "Ronald...nobody said they where offended."

Where does Ronald say that people were offended? He doesn't.

So I posted that the origination of people saying anything in regard to “being offended” wasn’t from Ronald.

I wasn’t twisting your words around or trying to imply that what you said wasn’t true. It's possible I misunderstood them, but this the internet after all.

I find it interesting to note that neither Luis, Brook, Larry, John (and Moonshine) and others that have read this post - who have and/or will serve our country/state daily weren't at all perturbed/offended by my original comments.:cool:

Then John makes this post

Naw..I wasn't offended. Nothin' to be offended about. I understood the point that Ronald was trying to make. Parents get pissed at the choices we make make. I'm going through a situation now with my son now. He is making choices that I don't much like. Without question the level of commitment between Joining up and buying an L is vast.

John started his post with Naw..I wasn't offended. Nothin' to be offended about. Making the point of his post about not being offended.

Then Ronald responds with this.

Here's my last post on this. My apologies to all of you popcorn eaters.

I agree with everything you said up there up to the point where you said Ronald was trying to deflect. I agree John's post is about not being offended. That's pretty clear.

Where it changes for me is that the point Ronald is thanking John for helping to drive his point home is where John said "Parents get pissed at the choices we make make."
That's the same point Ronald made with his :ron: way back on page one.

That could be....IF...it where not for the fact that Shiners post was not in response to Ronalds post way back on page one. Shiner responded to Ronalds post where ronald said he finds it interesting that blah blah and blah were not offended.

These posts are not typically just random sentences making invidual statements.

The first line is usually the position...the remainder explains that position.

But like I said....this time...every response was a response to an offended post.

The only reason I'm selling is that I can't endure another seasonal beating from the .300 and I don't varmint to justify the .223. This pinched radial-nerve has my right-arm completely inoperable and numb - like your cheek after a visit to the dentist.:hammer::( I'm like this even a month later.

P.S. I am wanting to get the Colt make of the AR-15. I am waiting to find one in the actual military versian...with the exception of the full auto mode(although this would be cool to, but then it would be called an M-16 and I can't afford the bucks for the full auto and stamp). I haven't like any of the assault weapons sense the laws forbidding falsh suppressors, bayonet lugs and so forth. Now that the laws are allowing this again...I want to get one before the socialists democrats get control again and start making laws to protect us from ourselves :rolleyes: .

Funny I missed that one... I normally would have been all over something that easy to flame.

Good eye Garett, I must be getting tired.
