DD: Dang, didnā€™t realize you were into that S&M stuff. Sure hope you have a good HMO. (Brā€™er Rabbit comes to mind for some reason.) Newt/aka Trolling Wonder: I am not always right; however, unlike you, I am not always wrong. You may not realize this but out of over 4000 registered posters on this board, a few have actually worked for, and a few actually still work for, the military and other branches of the government. Your story in the OP was kind of cute, in a Sybilesque way, but your fatal mistake was in positing that a well-known form in the government contained something that it does not contain. All I had to do was post a link to the site, run by the Navyā€™s Bureau of Naval Personnel, which has, you guessed it Teeming Millions, the instruction (as the Navy is wont to call their regulations) which governs preparation of said form. I donā€™t care if you check it or not. Since I spent 20 years as a personnel clerk in the military, Iā€™m kind of familiar with the thing. My bet is that, after about 20 years, you will be kind of familiar with a rubber room. Again to Newt/aka Trolling Wonder: didnā€™t you learn the first time I encountered your posted bullshit that I have facts on my side and you have, well, bullshit on yours. ---

No problem, Glitch. Last time someone asked me that, it was after I related the following incident to him: Back in 1993, I was a PN1 who was supervising the ID card clerk at a PSD. The civilian clerk there brought an ID card to me for my signature. She had crossed out the wrong benefits in the ā€œauthorizedā€ block so I told her she had to retype the thing. She told me that she wasnā€™t going to. I then told her that if the regulations said to do it her way, no problem, but if it said to do it my way, do it now. (Hint: I already checked the reg.) Well, she told me: ā€œWhy should I do what you say? Iā€™ve been doing this job a long time.ā€ My response was: ā€œIā€™m really not interested in how long youā€™ve been doing it wrong.ā€ Now to tie this into the OP - Newt/Trolling Poster: Youā€™re a jerk. I think I can safely say that from your postings on this board in the number of costumes youā€™ve had to choose in the space of a few short days - & I think I can safely speak for the rest of the posters on this one: Weā€™re really not interested in how long youā€™ve been a jerk, just that you have been one here. So why not stop it now? Better yet, go away and bother someone who might be interested in such a jerk. ---

Dannyboy, that is the most contrived, steaming piling of maggot infested horse shit I have ever had the misfortune of hearing. Take your sideshow story telling act on the road where people can pelt you with the same diseased shit you are spewing forth from your lying mouth. And now I would like to issue an apology to all SDMB members. I am deeply sorry for ever siding with this crack addict, and his friends/alter egos. If ever again I seem to be on the wrong side of a debate with a freak like this, please feel more than free to point out my past foibles with the likes of Liarboy/Newtā€™s Apple (he didnā€™t even deserve that name). * * * ā€œI celebrate myself, and sing myself, and what I assume you shall assume, for every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you.ā€ --Whitman ---
