Pumping gas in New Jersey.

I remember pumping gas for a carful of thugs. After I was done the driver handed me a $20 bill.

Thug: I don't see any black presidents on that bill.
Me: Ahh... I guess not.

Thug: What the f*ck you say white boy.
Me: Nothing

I then heard a loud click. I figure it was a gun. Then a bunch of laughing.

Thug: I should kill you now.
Me: Ehh... I done sorry. I done sorry.

I then ran as fast as I could.

As a white kid with wealthy parents I didn't qualify for many scholarships. Problem was both of my parents were dying in a hospital at the time and no one thought they'd work again.

whoa, i take it they pulled through?

They died.
Then they got better.

Serving in Vietnam had its scary as fuck moments...but overall, working on the bottom dozer in a "yo-yo" set up was more scary to me.

Being a crane operator was best described as hours and hours of boredom...punctuated by seconds of sheer fucking terror.

MonGrel...Semper Fi, brother. Welcome home.

Mayne...fuck you. I hope you die in a fucking fire.

Rah rah, Boomer.

For me, it was sort of the same. Had I had the time to think about the situations that I was in in a rational, logical manner, I would have frozen, unable to move. But there was too much going on to be scared. I guess I sorta forgot to be scared, thank God. Glad that's all behind, wouldn't want to do it again. There have been situations since that I've been more afraid in, than then.

In college and grad school I worked Construction. One winter I was drilling by myself-against osha and the law but my boss was nuts- and I hit bedrock under a bunch of soft sand. The fucking PTO Clutch siezed and froze the drill into the ground and sheared the top of the housing right off and bounced the top of the screw around like a Pinata inches away from my face and body. I was where I was supposed to be behind the guard near the PTO handle but FUCK seconds ago i had been drilling trough sand and you sometimes peek out to look at what the composition of the sand was and why the screw was going in so fast. I told my cousin I couldnt do it anymore after that and temped in a nice warm office after wards.


Got into a big brawl outside a club I was bouncing at but that was kinda fun actually.

BTW Boomer if you ever decide to share some Vietnam stories we would sure be grateful!

Cool, gifted douche. When you find your special "behind the scenes" ASVAB score, be sure to let us know. Until then, stay the biggest tool in the country. What a nerd....

Let me explain this in simple terms for you, bro.

When you score even a 99%ile on a test (such as how the ASVAB is graded on the sheet you get back), that doesn't show your true score. What you answered/how you answered/etc. It doesn't mean you answered 99% correctly either. It simply means only 1% scored higher than you basically.

If you can understand that and get over the jelly; then you will be enlightened.

It was like on many of those aptitude test one takes growing up. The percentile is not your RAW score and many times they do not provide that.

They didn't die you dumbass. I have explained it here many times over the years.

The summer before I left for University of Florida, my dad had a major heart attack and my mother was hospitalized previously with lung cancer.

They didn't think they'd ever work again and/or even make it out of the hospital.

They both survived and got healthy.

Since you are keeping a record, my mom passed away from cancer on October 19, 2014.

Stay mad, old man!

Pics or it didn't happen, bro.

 

[alkemyst]

My first attempt, I can't find my best attempt my senior year

 

[Ruptga]

I have one like that too, but how about your behind the scenes raw data?

 

[alkemyst]

I have one like that too, but how about your behind the scenes raw data?

Like I mentioned, for most of these standardized tests; your raw scores nor especially the methods the military uses to weigh the combination of scores are ever shared publicly.

This is how it always goes...I provide the proof and you tools keep asking for more.

My second attempt in my Senior year had all 99%iles and instead of [----x] at the right, they were all [x].

Please remember:

Please post your ASVAB since you mention you have it.

 

[brianmanahan]

mayne gets vacationed

holy crap i love this thread

 

[Ruptga]

Please post your ASVAB since you mention you have it.

Do you even smart, bro?

Also, still waiting for something behind the scenes.

Different test bro.

Ahh, you were ADDAvenger, explains a lot.

 

[Ruptga]

Oh noooooes my secret is out. I lived with that stupid name for five years before I got around to changing it, I'm not going to start being ashamed of it now. Are you going to start being ashamed of 30moons.com now that I've posted it here? Probably not. Tard.

Same test bro, it's not my fault you took the ASVAB when jesus was still riding dinosaurs, but the ASVAB is still the ASVAB. I'm in Mensa too, you want me to scan in that card too?

Still waiting on "behind the scenes".

 

[blackdogdeek]

How does this ALWAYS happen?

without your name on anything, it was probably just downloaded off the internet.

It's the scariest job you will ever have!

Without a birth certificate for Chris Feeny, that was probably downloaded off the internet. We're also going to need all educational records and a full background check, just to make sure you didn't murder a friendless hermit and assume his identity and life. Come to think of it, we're gonna need a block of stone carved by the gods themselves, because I'm sure you made up all that other stuff anyway.

Because anyone can bang anything official looking out in Word and fill in the blanks, or just borrow it from someone else, right?

TLDR: it's not my fault you were dumb enough to get doxed and now there's no point in trying to maintain privacy, but I don't have that problem and that's how it's going to stay.

But since we're such good buddies, here's a pic. I left my ASVAB paper somewhere else, so you'll have to settle for a consolation prize. I'll be sure to PM you once I get it back though (probably in a few weeks), just because we're such buddies.
