I heard on NPR yesterday that the Army is doing signing bonuses of 15,000. That would clear my credit card debt and solve my conundrum about whether or not to cut my long hair. They’ll take you up to thirty-four now, so at thirty-two I could enlist regular army for two years and get an additional bonus for already having my bachelor’s degree. I could learn to shoot better and get back into shape as well. Am I army material?

Jen says:

Karl says:
If I joined the army they would whip my ass in shape and I could pay off my credit cards
Karl says:
yes
Jen says:
um, you are not joining the army
Karl says:
it might be fun
Jen says:
those might be two positives, one of which (shape) could be accomplished by your own self, and the other? Well, the negatives ouweight that positive.
Karl says:
learn to shoot
