I tried to enlist in the Army at 18 and 19 respectively.
Apparently, that little incident involving the Q/R-Bandit gave me ever-lasting problems which involved County-Services(no, I wasn't arrested).
Apparently, at a time I was trying to enlist for the purposes of either Sniper-School, or Helicopter-Tech, I was DQ'd under AR40-501,Page 14, Section 2-27, Article-D.
So, as much as I tried to be a soldier, I was pretty much told to get lost for pretty much the same reasons CDCR didn't accept me.
Just thought I'd share that for the many of you that wonder if I ever was in the armed forces.
Just another chapter in the, "Chronicles of Adams Nitpicky World".

That's okay, eddie.
It's getting to that point where circumstances are causing me to seek out other career-options and I'm just disclosing some shit that's been on my chest for awhile.

Dude, have you ever thought about doing extra work for the movies/TV?
As much as you love the movies and whatnot, that might be a good gig for your spare time, even though the pay sucks.

I do (care that is)
All of this really unravels the mystery that is Benstrider. This tells us what the government (US Military and California Corrections) sees in you as a potential liability. Now as fellow riders the more we spend time with you, the greater the chances we may eventually find out the truth in what they see as part of your potential behavior traits or that there analysis is false.
I tend to think you just like to express your emotions of how you feel about somebody who might be a threat. How you would react in any given situation remains unknown. My guess is that you would most likely react in the manner called for by the training you received.

HONESTLY, I HAVE TO AGREE WITH SEXY ON THIS ONE.
( DID I JUST TYPE THAT? )
I THINK YOU WOULD MAKE A GOOD PRISON GUARD ( I'D STILL LIKE TO KICK YOUR ASS, IF YOU WERE MY 'GUARD') ,
BUT I THINK YOU MIGHT HAVE A "TRIGGER FINGER", MAYBE I'M WRONG, BUT,
EITHER WAY YOUR A VERY INTERESTING RIDA, AND THAT'S ALL THAT MATTERS, TO ME.

You hit the nail right on the head every time my man!!!
I could feel about a person all I want, but if there are guidelines and procedures to be followed, I'll man up and play by the rules as I don't enjoy getting chewed out(who doesn't?).
But, since everyone likes to pull of the "preliminary-game" nowadays, we'll never get to see anyone's full potential due to some panel of pshrinks.
All I have to say about psychiatrists is that most, if not all of them are over-educated pricks that have probably never seen any REAL danger in their entire life.
Basically, to me, Mommy or Daddy paid their way through school, just so they could throw salt into proverbial wounds.
I've lost all respect for that field all together.

I should probably also add that if I don't get hired back on with that other company, then I'm backing out of this one for sure.
Too many shit drivers I could care less about when I'm driving the miserable-ass freeways of SoCal.
At least when I was OTR, I didn't have to contend with the horseshit on an everyday basis.
