#1 You know there are literally hundreds if not thousands of employers out there desperate to get employees who are punctual, hard working, dependable, with a work ethic. They're paying sign on bonuses. They usually work 'normal' hours.

*Throw me into that brier patch*

#2 I could point and spin in a circle and all points are towards somebody looking to hire a person who is punctual and attentive and understands a chain of command structure, as well as how to interact on a personal level.

Especially true for non-office people and/or tool handy.

Me, personally, looking for someone interested in front office and/or back installation. Another organization I know is actively seeking people like this. Talking lifetime opportunity with growth minded business in good communities and schools, plus plenty of outdoors and rec available.

Want to learn to shoot bow, know a dude who hit a rattler in the head at 40 yards. Want to learn a skill, plenty of tradesmen looking for someone just like you. Solid VFW organizations. Be able to walk when you are 50. Stuff like that.

#3 Get wild. Find a place to live out here where parents who had horses with their kids, and their kids have gone off to ranch their piece of land, and they will have a horse or two but facilities for more. Hell, they may even pitch in on your horse if you do the horse chores, show you the ropes after 40 years of experience. 9 to 5 it, do the horse chores, then hit your MMO with your buddies. Be able to talk about something real instead of the IKEA to head shop lifestyle.

Need that adrenaline? Join the volunteer fire. Its all fun and games until you are toe to toe with a 5000 acre/hour (or more) fire and its heading towards someone's house. You may even know that person.

And that is just lifestyle in 100 miles from here. There are mountain, desert, forest, lakeside communities everywhere doing this.

#4 The only power they have is voluntary compliance.As companies like GM and Ford downsize to be competitive.They purge the skilled workforce for the unskilled and undisciplined. Simply to cut overhead while giving themselves exorbitant bonuses. This story we have seen before many times. So our military is also compromised. They will do damage. They will fail but they will never win as the power of desires is as an opiate of failures.

#5 They must see what the last 6 months of operational planning has accomplished, and that with the current heads nobody gets promoted until all the gays and trans get promoted first. Endless HR meetings. A snitch environment to work in, being taught The Log Train is a tranny show instead of beans and bullets, and if you don't show you are a hater and called into the office, get on little behavior sticker on your profile.

Pisses me off just reading about it. They show they don't care about the troops with this move, they can't even plan a dinner menu but they will sure take advantage of a plate put before them. Nah, take on the vax either way, looks like shit.

#6 “Be able to walk when you are 50. Stuff like that”
That hit right on target.

#7 Might be a covert op to downsize the military...
