And the picture:
As always, the deadline is nominally Sunday at midnight Eastern.
Go!
You know the Army recruiters aren’t good at their jobs when they bring a poster with “Army Strong” to a nerd hangout. If they’d used “Army SMART” they’d have better luck.
“Sir, we don’t have the launch codes here. However, you can obtain them by going to this link.”
“Uh, I wasn’t asking for the launch codes. I just want to know where I can get an F-16.”
“Uh, that’s classified.”
“And the launch codes aren’t?”
Army recruiter looks confused
Recruiter: Son, where do you see yourself in 10 years?
2011->2021
Student: Well, I want to be an engineer and mentor FRC. 2021 will definitely be one of the years we go to worlds. I can feel it. *cough* *cough*
Recruiter: “in your opinion, what is the most impressive thing you have done in your life so far”
Yellow shirt: “seen Billfred post caption contest results on time”
…
aaaaaaaaaand that’s a -infinity for you.
So this is how you train to be a judge.
The sergeant is explaining that in his role commanding four tanks and 18 men is a lot like being the Alliance Captain, except the stakes are even higher than at the Championship event.
Recruiter: “What are you interested in?”
Student: “I’m into robotics?
Recruiter: “How does flying one of our State-of-the-Art UAV?”
Student: “Wow!. That would be cool.”
Recruiter: “Okay, let’s sign you up.”
Later that day.
2nd Recruiter: “What did you sign that student up for?”
Recruiter: “Motor pool.”
Recruiter: “In fact, most of our positions don’t require proper wearing of safety glasses. You should fit in just fine.”
“No, the Army does NOT practice coopertition with our adversaries”
“…and that’s why you should consider joining the army!”
[Scout checks notes]
“So… how many wheels does your robot have? I think I missed that part.”
I’m looking for a job that doesn’t involve any work, but even finding one would involve work.
“No son, you would not be driving a robot across the battlefield.”
This working thing is a strange feeling. Glad it pays well.
