Sooo... Nevada...

Nevada is a barren wasteland of lithified clastics leading in stratigrafic section down to igneous bedrock. Not ash and smoke. Although I'm sure there are a couple bentonite layers.

That was the most geologist thing you have ever said.

Nevada has a lot of fun geology... didn't feel right to leave it at "ash and smoke".

Being that I lived in california for so long, I definitely took several trips to nevada to appreciate it's fascinating geology. It really propelled my career as a junior geologist.

I can't believe we had work on 9/11. I mean, it's 9/11. If anybody in the world were to get 9/11 off... you'd think it'd be united states military.

Day shift had to work 7am to 4am. Swings shift(that's uly) came in at 3:30pm and left at like 6:30 because it's friday and our shift lead wanted to leave. And we had a 4-day weekend last week. But still.

Nobody told me life would be so tough in the military.

I be reading this pamphlet the chief put out and it's all like, "no profession asks as much of it's people as the profession of arms" and I'm like "Damn right. You damn right, chief."

"We serve a higher calling and are held to a higher standard."

"Damn right, chief... you damn right again."

It ain't easy being a paragon of all that is right in America. Paragon points for days. I've been replaying mass effect as an engineer because if uly were a mass effect class in the air force... it'd be engineer.

They're all navy, apparently. Gods damned navy. I don't believe that for even a second. Navy in space? Hell no. Air force owns space. We even have an "Air Force Space Command" with satellites and shit! I'M IN IT, TOO! Cuz the space in space command means cyberspace, too. The 4th dimension of battle. The cyber domain. And I am a cyber warrior. Engineer Uly. But anyway....

Commander Shepard? More like Lieutenant Colonel Shepard. That's who uly is. And Uly's allies, Captain Kaidan Alenko and Colonel Anderson.

Does anyone know if you salute officers on a ship in the navy? Like, indoors? People saluting me as I walk by on the Normandy and I'm like, "you're indoors, god damnit, don't salute me... and take off that god damn hat!"

But maybe they're going by navy rules... they also have their fingers extended when they go to attention, which is weird. I know navy don't do that. Bioware makin up their own rules...

You're talking up a storm of shit, aren't ya? As usual.

Burkman's future employee at the jazz cafe gives him a long story about all the ways he's contributed to the success of the jazz cafe despite how he had to deal with the complications of having a recently broken leg and raising his 4 children by himself after his wife passed away 2 years ago while asking for a raise/promotion and burkman looks at him and says, "You're talking up a storm of shit, aren't ya? As usual."

Also, I'm Old Snake.

You wish you were.  Stop eating getting fat, have years of experience of CQC, take down plans to build a super mass weapon of destruction, stop strange people with strange abilities, have accelerated aging, be a clone, and be a badass.  

Call me when you've actually done ANY of those things.  Stop comparing yourself to badass characters to make you feel cool.  Fucking loser.

I really do hate you.

But for reals doe... I'm old Snake.

I'll think I will take geology next semester.

Another geologist in the making... drink lots of beer.

We need to save up money to have an OT monument built.

All gave some. Some gave all. OT. Never forget.

Today is the 68th anniversary of when the Air Force became it's own separate branch of the military.

That's nice.

And here's ben to trash talk the military as always, only being passive aggressive this time. His hate for military is unwarranted.

I'm more just tired of talking about it with you.

I bring up one little factoid and ben's all "OH HERE YOU ARE, TALKING ABOUT THE MILITARY AGAIN. An intellectual superior such as myself would never join the military, that's for stupid people who can't go to college and get a real job. I'm ben"

I've never said that. There is no reason to be upset.

You came in here to point out my one little factoid and try to belittle it. You're the instigator here.

Ben's the kinda nigga who spits on vietnam veterans as they return home. He just wasn't born early enough to actually do it.

I just don't like hearing about basic this, tech-school that. " everyone in the military are all heroes." that you say all the time.

No I don't, only as a joke. Don't twist my words just cuz the OT can see it.

But you believe it to a degree.
