Will you give me the ISBN for that book? I am now curious.

I had a 119 GT and my lowest score was 113. My DLAB score was also 119. Go figure.

It's on Scribd, I'll get it. And I'll tell you what's in it, because it might not make sense at first.

Thanks Fin.

I really appreciate your offer to explain. I have read many a chemistry text when i was in grad school, but this was at an Ivy school more known for its actresses than Nobelists. Also, the authors were so depressingly sober, and it made for a dry read, even about hydrates. I need all the help you are willing to give me.

I had GT 126 my infantry NCOs talked shit about me joining infantry non stop

But I couldn't get the security clearance for much else cuz of my criminal record

Sorry for your loss, but that's pretty funny.

Ah, that was awhile ago. Not looking for sympathy, just kind of fascinated with death and speak about it when it applies.

That situation at the airport was awkward and comically enjoyable at the time. And in that moment I needed a good laugh. Glad I was mostly on the right side of the law with that large shiny bag of mild contraband.

Same. That's pretty fucking good. My overall ASVAB was high-er-ish. 79. Like, it wasn't the highest, but it's higher than average (50).

Why is sand illegal?

You only need a secret clearance for Airborne units or RTO position. I got a secret clearance after deployment as my platoon's RTO (I was a rifleman during deployment.)

Why is sand illegal?

Transports bacteria from one geographical location to another, potentiating possible mutation. Same reason they wouldn't let me bring moondust back from Afghanistan.

Maybe it was just a local ordinance. I guess it could be similar to digging up protected/endangered wildflowers, that are a limited resource. That pure white sand is beautiful, it's worth protecting heh.

In remote areas everywhere, you'll find that ppl will fill entire dump trucks with sand if they can get away with it.

I guess potentiating would be the wrong word.

At Jericho. At Drum, we train more for extremely cold weather (it gets, like.. 8 feet of snow from lake effect and the ocean) and it gets, like.. -20, -30. -50 with windchill.
