By the way, does this make me more successful at joining the military than Alby?

No. You got an information packet. I contracted and swore in twice.

I mean, if all I have to do is show up to the leadership labs once a week, work out three days a week, and get a liberal arts credit where I get to shoot rifles, in order to get a free pair of boots, count me in!

I got an information packet AND submitted my stuff to participate next quarter.

Those free boots they give you with the combat uniform look really kickass, I can't wait. Apparently they're super comfy.

The boots are great. I guess back in the day, they sucked but they're so comfortable and light now. Some like the Bates Lite are basically high-top running shoes.

...and I'm kind of giggling at the massive Lee Greenwood*-esque over the top patriotic imagery and slogans, e.g. "NATIONAL GUARD: BE A MODERN DAY MINUTEMAN!" followed by pictures of men in army uniforms helping small children.

Also, the folder it came in has a picture of an attractive female 2nd Lieutenant on the front. I don't know if they're trying to subliminally tell me that I will meet hot chicks in the National Guard, but if they are then I am highly skeptical (though a man can hope).

By the way, does this make me more successful at joining the military than Alby?

*fun fact: Lee Greenwood has never served in the military and has had two divorces. He doesn't practice what he preaches nearly as much as, say, Snoop Dogg.

You're just as successful as he is, but less of a failure.

Free boots, you say...

I would. Al probably wouldn't because she's white and probably doesn't have an enormous behind.

[maxfreemann]

I would be very much surprised if she is actually in the army.

I would be very much surprised if she is actually in the army.

I wouldn't. There were some lookers at the Republican caucus in Leavenworth.
