From the e-gram:
She hasn't hit her new station yet, so, technically, she's not permanent party yet. But I know how she feels.
Welcome to your new Extended Family, SPC Saker!
I had to stand around in my class A's for seven hours, but it was worth it!! After seven months, I'm finally permanent party, with an MOS!

Welcome to your new Extended Family, SPC Saker!
:o)
Not that she'd be making them, she just likes to play with them.
Way to go, Saker! Proud of you, woman.
Ouch.
As you already know,
Grumpy
Okay, the message doesn't really work, but they're still pretty cool backgrounds...
Saker, you need to consult with Skippy, of The List, so that you may add to said List, and not just duplicate previous entries. It is important to encourage neural divergence in our Armed Forces, so as to confuse and baffle both the Republic's enemies and also those people of grades O-7 and above who were, sadly, promoted to their levels of incompetence.
And after you show them, you have to 'dispose' of 'them'. Hidden job benefits, etc.
Cheers
Justthisguy- I didn't know what you were talking about, so I Googled it. Wow. I'm sitting in the middle of the Atlanta airport, laughing so hard that people are starting to stare. I will do my best to add to the SPC's list before I become an E-5 and have to be all serious and grownup.
J.M. Heinrichs- I have no idea what you are talking about. Now where did I put my hacksaw and the trash bags?
Saker - send me and Bill the good stuff.
I've got a SIPR addy, too, so you can send me the really good stuff there.
John- I'll do that, as soon as I manage to do something listworthy. :)
Woohoo, only five more hours stuck in this blasted airport!!
Remember this:
No matter how bad it gets, take heart in the fact that it can, and eventually will, get worse. You are a Soldier now. You can handle it, what ever it is and how ever bad it gets.
Does this MOS provide you training in technowizery type stuffs? If so, well done. There is life after the Army. It is good to come away with training and experience that translates into good civie pay.
Stay Proud. Stay Strong. Don't let the idjits drag you down.
By the time I left AIT I was trained in 2. (11B and 11M), had training with Dragons (which was an ASI if I remember correctly) and was familiar with 11C as well. I was just a PV1 at the time though, so I was an overachiever.
Just kidding, contratulations and WHEN you make your E-5, remember that rule number 1 is take care of your troops first. When you follow rule #1, all else falls into place.
