    So smart you joined the military.

    I can say that because I was a 99 ASVAB and a dumb grunt.

      Getting a 99 just means you’re smart enough to get fucked by the green weenie in any of the available jobs. It’s also the first step everyone does, if you’re going for something like nuke school they give you harder tests. OP is pretty amusing with this though.

        Right? It’s the basic test. I have come to terms that I’m really basically smart, but when things get more detailed I’m pretty regular.

        I was so smart I became an 11 though, instead of perhaps a job with life skills, for a life other than LEO. No regrets though, made some lifelong friends, got stupid tattoos, visited some cool places, and I get $170 a month for tinnitus.

        I took my ASVAB in 2009, so unless it’s in my SRB somewhere, you’ll have to take my word for it.

        I did upload a picture of my garbage though, that should be proof enough.

            Do you have recycle and trash? It’s the way to go. I bag the trash but I dump the recycling into the large can outside and then reuse that dirty bag for garbage. I’m essentially saving the world.

            Nice to know there are others out there! Great bins, unlike poor OP.

          You shouldn’t have to overpay for bags that are too large for the garbage can, just to avoid having the bags slip.

            I will commiserate with you. I think the shape of that can is ultimately your issue. In fact, I know it is, I’ve seen that can and anytime I’ve seen it, the bag looks like yours. So you’re not alone.

            As an aside, if you intend on joining the military, especially if you enlist, nobody cares about your ASVAB score, and if you wield it like a weapon, others will use it against you. I knew ASVAB waivers who had quick wit. I served with dudes who paraded around their conventional intelligence and had a tough time making friends, and only when they dropped the whole smart guy act did they fit in better.

            Your post tickled my funny bone tonight. I wish you well and I hope you can “adapt and overcome” as it relates to this issue.
