Cdubs24, I agree with you. Racism implies only race and not privilege, power or class.

Exactly. Racism is racism. It doesn't have anything to do with privilege or class.

Dorcas, you nailed it!

I happen to have graduated basic training from this very squadron. We had 3 M.T.I.'s for our flight (squadrons are further broken down into "flights"). Two males and one female. This was 12 years ago and I felt very safe with the staff even though they were mean as fuck. But they were mean because that's their job but…

I'm 34 and kind of a happy mess. I have ADHD with an emphasis on the H and I keep it mostly controlled but cannot all the time. I have fun and enjoy life. I did not know I was trying to act like a 20 something. So how's a 34 year old supposed to act?

At first I thought it looked like April gone got some Skrillex hair. But I guess she just has a really big, meth cookin' forehead.

Sad but likely true.

I can't get it either. I'm bummed.

Welp, I'm having my uterus taken out next week so she can have mine. It's probably really delicious because I eat a lot of bacon.

Yep, her name was Jill and she was in basketball. Also a giant nerd just like her ol' cousin here.

Yeah, I think the only real uproar is because there were photos of them with their breasts exposed while in uniform. Either way women should be able to breast feed when ever, where ever, wearing whatever and not be harassed.

I was in the Air Force for 8 years and never was made to feel like I had to prove myself. So was I just lucky then?

Active Duty does not mean just your duty hours. It's just a differentiation of your military status. Active Duty means that you are a full time member of the military as opposed to being Guard or Reserve which is typically one weekend a month and two weeks a year and then you normally have a normal people civilian job.

That and the fact that there are jobs in the military as well that basically cover his list. Military jobs do include receptionist, lawyer, doctor, etc. And being a military spouse is a job in itself.

Thank you for the positive! I'm about to pick up the phone and schedule the surgery...I'm a little nervous about complications but otherwise very excited!

Sooooo Brian Bonin and Tony Benshoof?

I was a giant nerd too! You may have known my cousin. I think she graduated in 1999. I high tailed it out of WBL very soon after graduation.

Hopefully you will have awesome neighbors. I think shitty neighbors are a rare occurrence.

Me 3!

I lived in White Bear Lake from 1988 to 1996 so to answer your question of how the crazy lady knew of Mrs. Hoffmans alcoholism, the local paper, The White Bear Press, if I remember correctly posts police reports every week in the paper and names names. So not much privacy there. Sorry about the run on sentence....I've…
