Doesn't every officer in the Army have a college degree?
Or at least some college experience?

I was in the Army for like, 3 months when I was 17.
I'm both asthmatic AND colorblind.
If you're asthmatic your recruiter will just tell you to lie at your entrance physical at MEPPS. You can't fake the colorblind test, but they don't care. They will just you in an MOS (Military Occupational Specialty) that doesn't involve color recognition.
i.e. Infantry.
True story.

You'll still have to run.
If you can't run, no military.

I'm sure.
Even the Army stuff is nonsense.
Its all psychological fuckery.
If you can do 50 pushups, 80 situps, and run a mile in under 8 minutes, you will not have any problem with even Army basic whatsoever.

not a pillow i gotta say i love your posts.
as to this thread honestly lol at it.
i personally dont believe in metaphysics or crystals, but i am down for people believing in it. i dont think anyone knows the answer, i am fascinated by science and maybe they will be able to explain everything one day but if not oh well.
but i think it is ridiculous for army recruitment centers to be there. find something cool in your life to do besides the army if you are thinking of joining the army.

Army guys are people too... My best friend is Army. And a shit load of army guys smoke weed. just don't get busted. If you do, there are two options. Discharge, or the first plane to Iraq. When you are in Iraq, no one gives a fuck.
I give you this tho, they're desperate for bodies these days.

Hi, I want to tell you that some Reiki guys use military ranks running around doing massive Reiki initiations. What they do is give the entire Reiki I,II,III Master initiation all at once going up to people and asking if they like to try out Reiki for free. They have something in the Metaphysical Renaissance Corps under Vice Admiral Yutaka Shaun Wada who has initiated over 26,000 people to Reiki. He trained CWO Davin J. Redekop to initiate over 2688 people to Reiki. Usually, those who give out Reiki initiations were newly commissioned as Ensigns but with high enlistment by the evangelical Hare Krishnas who found that giving Reiki inititions would increase their recruitment as both Reiki and the Krishna consciousness promote raise in spiritual vibration, and that they found Buddhists and New Agers unwilling to run around in the front lines for active service. They therefore during the shortages, decide to train the newly initiated to begin by quickly learning the Reiki symbols and pass on many Reiki iniations as possible. They will go with their Squadron Leader who will break ice and ask you to put your hands out and try Reiki. If they accept the free attunement, after the Squadron Leader gives out the initiation, the young officer is given the opportunity to initiate others to Reiki. These new initiates are given contact of not the officers, but the Reiki I and II's (enlisted) who follow up to teach the history and teach how to give out simple treatments. Like the Airforce, it is the Officers who go out and initiate in the front lines, just as Pilots are the ones who fly and fight, as those who initiate others to Reiki are training at the Master's level.
Initiating previously uninitiated people to Reiki III all in one in person makes you a Captain, if you start off as an Ensign. What happened with CWO Redekop is that he was an enlisted blitzman like flying sergeants who was there to teach classes to those who were attuned by others, but came out to help out blitz Reiki attunements due to shortage of Mobile Officers. Because he enlisted, and climed his way up to CWO, he will be able to do lots of running around without being taken off the feild to do administrative duties, and will be running around for thousands to come.

MOTH said: I mean seriously, how much of a chance did the Army think they had of enlisting people at a metaphysical fair? It was really weird.
How much of a chance did the Army have at a fair devoted to people who are swayed into dogmatic beliefs that have no basis in reality and trust 'authority' figures if they speak well and propose outlandish ideas? Oh I don't imagine theres too much of a problem there.
