lmao, imagine keeping that a secret forever. what a fucking maniac. bravest troop.

keeping leadership accountable

A lot of it has to do with poverty as well. My dad did +20 years and was about as senior of an NCO you could be. He hated his entire time in the military, but just slightly less than being a dirt farmer in Ohio.

Most of the senior NCO families I got to know were from pretty poor upbringing, they knew that they wouldn't ever be able to retire without finishing their 20 years.

Enjoy checking that box on every job application forever and it not making any difference.

Yep, the only thing it actually helps with is federal employment if you can find it.

In the early 00s I worked at a small movie theater where someone shit in one of the urinals on a Saturday night. Which was fairly impressive considering that we only had one men's bathroom and there were almost always multiple people using it at any given time.

The going theory was that the manager had shit in a bag and then dumped it in the urinal. He tried to get someone to clean it out, but I told him he was insane if he thought anyone was going to handle human waste for 4.75 an hour.

If it's a carrier it may cost closer to half a million. But that's a drop in the bucket compared to the insane operating expenses of a carrier.

It's also worth it to catch someone who's risking the health of an entire carrier.

Why not? It doesn't need to be clean, just unique to the individual.
