Assuming I don't wash out like a punk.

Assuming I don't wash out like a punk. LOL.. Okay I Googled it, I was pretty certain what it meant before hand.. But wanted to double check.
His Source(s):
Navy 82-86
His name: I Like Men Now
Anyways, I'm sure you'll be fine.. Although it depends on what branch you're going into.. Even before Googling the term, I knew that some branches require more than others.

Navy. Yeah, I think I'll be fine, but there is that possibility. Especially if I get a douchey Drill Instructor. My Dad was telling me stories about douchey Drill Sergeants he had. On his paratrooper training course there was a segment where you let guys with ropes sway you back and forth hard. It simulates being caught in a heavy wind current while parachuting. Instructor literally swung my Dad up as high as he could, then let go of the rope. Dad went head first into the ground.

Well you can't expect them to not test you.. Wouldn't be a good drill instructor if they didn't.. They're not there to be your friend, they're there to prepare you for a life in (possible?) battle.. Which translates to having to be a douche somehow, I'm not really sure how. But the same techniques used have been used for thousands of years, if you look in history, you'll find the harsher the training, the better army any given civilization had..
Take Spartan's for example.. Their army is absolutely legendary, but their training was almost barbaric when compared to our values of today..

spartans were pro life. they let you go through birth so they could throw you off a cliff. coat hangers and stairs are for athenians.

What was the minimum donation thingy for getting a charity cap? I think it was $5 or something.

Well yeah, but threatening the life of those you're training, intentionally, is way over the line.
It's mainly going to be mind games though. I'm going to have the most trouble with getting my salute right, and getting my 11 Orders of the Sentry precise.

What was the minimum donation thingy for getting a charity cap? I think it was $5 or something. - Donations can be anywhere from a minimum of 1 Crysta to a maximum of 10,000 Crysta.
I think I donated around 10 or 100 Crysta.

Retaliation
By Artemicion 2011-08-28 03:33:15
Well, Krizz laid down the hammer, but I noticed something really weird in the process.
I wanna push it, but frankly I'm a little scared >.>;

Back in my day we didn't have Retaliation! No, seriously. Except for Staff and Club :x all my WSNMs were done on Warrior prior to that time.

You have until the 31st of August to do it and you'll get it on September 1st I believe.
Best hurry!

Do I need to purchase the crysta beforehand then donate it after it's on my account?

I think I'd need something more than glorified fruity beer. I'm assuming you're still at the friends.
Nope.. Made the three hour trip home tonight..
But all my friends are out getting hammered right now. I choose to come home. Oh then that makes sense, now it's time to just relax.. If I were you, and still there despite all the drama and tension, I'd be wanting to just get as drunk as possible.. Makes the overall experience much easier to just forget.
Late response but..
Yeah I wanted to last night.. but everyone kept passing out. :/ So no drinking at all. Was lame as hell.

I wanna push it, but frankly I'm a little scared >.>; Where was the hammer laid down exactly? o.0
And yeah, if your post gets removed (and you honestly don't remember/know why) you can go to edit to see what it was.. I posted a bunch of pics in the lol thread and it got removed, I was being very vigilant in screening for naughty words, but I managed to miss one.. I took it out and resubmitted it (in another post) and everything was okay.. Just depends on what was removed and why I guess.

This is where I donated after it I purchased it.

For any beer enjoyers out there, this is a brew I highly recommend.

 Name makes it sound like a stout bitter beer, which I absolutely hate.

It's a red(ish) amber.
Trust me, it's delish~

Okay one more derp question: What's the USD to crysta ratio?
Okay nevermind that one, my question is, is a Charity Cap given to both of your accounts if you have two of em linked to your singluar Square-Enix account??
This is a thread that I found on another website I post at. It can be really really interesting. I thought it deserved a place here.
Post your random thoughts for the day here, or anything else that intrigues you.
For starters, is it possible to give constructive critism to someone who doesn't have a neck? I totally just walked by a girl who didn't. Someone isn't getting a necklace for Valentines day!
And who decided black and white can't be colors? I want to say a racist. I really do.
