Psych Evaluations

[Jaydub]

Yep, and the Psych Evaluations would keep Sol out of the Military as well.

Of course if he was in the military there would be those darn pesky rules always giving him a hard time.

[UncleMonty]

I count it as a blessing that I've never had to have my psyche evaluated...

[T.s.a.o]

I'm greateful that I did. I get free gov't money and other benefits thanks to it

Are you sure about that?

They got a building down New York City, it's called Whitehall Street,
where you walk in, you get injected, inspected, detected, infected,
neglected and selected. I went down to get my physical examination one
day, and I walked in, I sat down, got good and drunk the night before, so
I looked and felt my best when I went in that morning. `Cause I wanted to
look like the all-American kid from New York City, man I wanted, I wanted
to feel like the all-, I wanted to be the all American kid from New York,
and I walked in, sat down, I was hung down, brung down, hung up, and all
kinds o' mean nasty ugly things. And I waked in and sat down and they gave
me a piece of paper, said, "Kid, see the psychiatrist, room 604."

And I went up there, I said, "Shrink, I want to kill. I mean, I wanna, I
wanna kill. Kill. I wanna, I wanna see, I wanna see blood and gore and
guts and veins in my teeth. Eat dead burnt bodies. I mean kill, Kill,
KILL, KILL." And I started jumpin up and down yelling, "KILL, KILL," and
he started jumpin up and down with me and we was both jumping up and down
yelling, "KILL, KILL." And the sargent came over, pinned a medal on me,
sent me down the hall, said, "You're our boy."

In my case, they asked me why I wanted to enlist so young (sixteen) and I told them because I'd been suspended from high school for my science project.

They wanted to know what it was, so I showed them - I had waited until the school ran a lawn aerator, pulling sod plugs out of their front lawn. Plugs I filled with home made firecrackers, wiring them with the model rocketry gear I owned, and later set off during a PTA meeting at the school.

Between that, and the guns I'd built at home, they basically laughed, then gave me the MOS I applied for, 45B10, company level gunsmith.

Heh.

But it's only a short step from there to the Group W bench...

That's gotta be the biggest pile of BS I've seen in a while.. Soldiers aren't psychotic killers. At the very least, civilized soldiers aren't. If you went to a recruiter's office and told the guy you wanted to kill people, you'd get kicked out just as fast.

That's because the Army doesn't go looking for people who like to kill. It goes looking for people who can follow orders and adapt to military discipline, and who will lookout for his fellow soldier. Learning how to kill is something they'll drill into you after months of boot camp rather easily. But if you're a sociopathic maniac who enjoys killing people, then you can't be trusted to follow orders or look out for your fellow soldier.

There was an episode of NCIS which pointed that out, when a kid was rejected by a Marine recruiter because he wanted to become a Sniper, because he wanted to kill people.

Besides, the purpose of an army isn't to wig out and kill people, it's to set up a living barrier to keep other people from killing the citizens of your homeland.

Whoa, up on that LoneWolf23k! This is the lyrics of an Arlo Guthre song "Alices Restruant" It was a funny song from the 60's

[Squeaky Bunny]

Lessee, it's a satirical song written in the mid-sixties which partly pokes fun at the draft. Heaven help you if you happen to hear the Fish Cheer or the "I Feel Like I'm Fixin' to Die Rag"

I went through AFEES in Detroit in 1970. Arlo wasn't too far off on some of the things he spoke of in that song. The day I went through the machine I saw all kinds of things pulled in order to get a deferment. Some were funny like the ones who wore panties or acted effeminate. Some were pathetic like those who 'doctored' their urine samples with sugar or other ingredients, or acted psycho.

You had to have been there to appreciate it.

Sorry.. My dad used to work as a janitor at a canadian army based (before it closed down), and I'm sympathetic to the armed forces..

Far, far from it.

Bailiff said "all rise".
We all stood up.
Judge walked in with a seein'-eye dog.
Judge sat down, seein'-eye dog sat down.
And we knew right then it was gonna be another case of American BLIND-a JUSTICE,
And the judge wasn't gonna LOOK at the eight-by-ten color glossy pictures
With the circles and arrows and paragraphs on the back of each one...

About 3/4 of Alice's Restaurant (the track is close to 20 minutes long, takes up an entire side of an old vinyl record) is dumping on small-town cops and their tendency at that time to harass hippies and other eccentric folks for no real reason. (It's hilarious, btw.) The last 1/4 is what happened when he went to his draft exam with a citation for dumping trash from the cops.

The draft part is the usuall hippy-dippy stuff; but OTOH, the examiners were getting used to the usual antics by that time. When a hippy would act gung-ho psychotic to get a section 8 downcheck, they actually -would- mess with their tiny brains by doing things like that.

'Now, Stockbridge Massachusetts had three po-lice officers, two po-lice cars, and one traffic light, but when we got to the Scene Of The Crime, there were six po-lice cars and ten po-lice officers, this being the biggest crime ever seen in the area, and they were using all kinds of po-lice equipment that they'd never had a chance to use before....'

It's good to hear that. In those times Canada was providing asylum for U.S. draft dodgers thanks to P.M's Pearson and Trudeau.

Anyone want to take a guess to see hwo big Jane's role in the next few comics will be?

[The JAM]

I failed my physical and was rejected from the Mexican army.

[Namrepus221]

I keep getting calls from military recruiters even though I have said that I am currently a college student with scholarship and that I cannot possibly join the any branch of the military because of the medications that I am currently on.

But they keep calling every 2 or 3 months to see if I want to join...
