Ehh, we don't really know much about millennials' kids, since zoomers are mostly gen x offspring. Judging by early reports, gen alpha is even more moronic than zoomers, so looks like millennials fricked up even more than their parents and older siblings did.
Ah frick you, millennials created gen alpha. I'm a zoomer and I'm fricking stupid but millennials invented trans people, reddit and have moronic sperm so I consider myself at least one level above them.
Why won't you just accept he's right about us and move in the right direction. Zoomers are going their doctors in drives with anxiety and depression disorders. Something needs to be done, we need to redeem ourselves. It's time to stop running from responsibility
1. I'm not a zoomer
2. Just because mental health disorders are being diagnosed much more often today doesn't mean they weren't just as prevalent in the past
They used to lock up schizos and other invalids. They used to call people pussies until they got their shit together. Now they encourage mental illness and tell them its okay to be "different". Now they get you dumb zoomers addicted to these mind altering chemical wienertails at a young age and turn you into an aimless zoombie with zero drive to better yourselves and your liable to snap and harm yourself or others if you stop taking your medicine that has totally warped your minds. I'm 29 years old and thought my generation was bad. It's pretty tragic that instead of people getting their shit together and being ostracized for being shitbags there's a pill you can take so you can be a shitbag and be happy about it and other shitbags will cheer you on that it's not YOUR fault that you can't improve your situation in life its society's so you sit idly by and wait and hope that there will be some societal upheaval that validates your failure to really do anything of meaning when you could have worked towards something in that time and maybe have seen that your situation was a crab in a bucket mentality once you actually broke free of the negative influences that cheered your poor decision making. It's like loose women trying to push their friend into cheating so they won't be the only one who feels guilty. "If "'X" is also doing "Y" then "X" isn't that big of a deal!"

Why is it always the most dense and out of touch motherfrickers who have to speak on a position of authority with something they know frickall about? The only thing that separates zoomers from millennials and older folks is that we were wienerslapped by reality from the day we were born by both horrifically broken families and being one of the earliest adopters to truly experience the internet for what it is now. In this case you have your Rittenhouses, your wannabe Wolf of Wall Street thinking he’s hot shit because he figured out what a short was and hodled GME, and are generally exposed to more of these rather unsavory elements than those before at a younger age. But thats mostly because we have no fricking choice if we want to actually one day be a part of the sacred cow that is actual home ownership or any sort of wealth that doesn’t involve slaving away into dust for pennies and an occasional sticker every 20 years. Either way I can guaran fricking tee you the average zoomer is nowhere near what these manufactured shills on twatter and Chinese apps are like, they’re either a neurotic mess that get panic attacks talking to cashiers or hopping from shitty wagie job to shitty wagie job coked up on a near 24/7 drug wienertail. Most of us are completely fricked economically to where actually owning some basic b***h cookie cutter house in a neighborhood that isn’t Chiraq tier is a pipe dream because of how bad prices and especially the value of a dollar became.

The quiet treatment just works.
Thats more of a thing of timing, considering how the economy went for years and all the covid shit. Millions upon millions of people were out of a job by next morning back in 2020 from the knockoff USSR, that year opened the floodgates to something thats been brewing since before even we were alive, case in point Falling Down, Office Space, Fight Club, Taxi Driver, etc. People have been getting more and more pissed for decades, 2020 was just the breaking point.

> Thats more of a thing of timing,
This is true, Covid did disrupt a lot of inertia in labor markets, where a lot of people were running on the expectations of having (x) job, rather than the reality of what (x) job was paying you.
But I think the Occupy Wall Street approach is still the worse approach.
To the majority of bystanders it just paints as sense of urgency.
Urgency in getting a job.
Which in turn drives up labor competition, even though it’s a recession and people are protesting conditions.
You’re more willing to take the job with that shit pay because what are you going to do, join those occupy losers?
Meanwhile the zoomer approach is much more devastating.
Everyone just leaves.
There’s no sense of urgency.
No sense for anything except doubt.
“Why is everyone leaving?”
“Is their something wrong?”
“Why aren’t they coming back?”
“Am I missing out, or getting underpaid?”
The instinct based, quiet treatment fricking works, and leaves management scrambling.

I’m a zoomer. I’d love to join the army but I’m disqualified because I had an allergic reaction to peanuts as a teenager. Not allergic anymore but it’s in my record. Sucks.
I did that to my doctor to prove I wasnt allergic anymore. He said I was allergic to peanuts so the next time I had an appointment I pulled out a bag of peanuts and swallowed them all at once.
My record thus states that I am no longer allergic to anything, but I do technically have an overnight hospital visit due to anaphylaxis on my record, as well as an epi pen and anti allergy med prescription.
I’d like to add that I never used either medications or epi pen, and they’re long since expired, but they still show up as being prescribed. Anaphylaxis to food is a DQ from any branch according to google
If you score higher than an 80 on the ASVAB you should have no problem getting a waiver for BS like that. They only use stuff like that on morons, because if they're going to take a moron, he better have perfect health because there's enough to chose from who do.
I was disqualified from joining because of my eye sight and my recruiter jumped through hoops to get me a waiver.
Speaking as a near-40 year old, I feel bad for the younger generation. Saw 9/11 so they don't know a time without surveillance land, grew up with Internet so no memory without it, can't stop looking at their fricking Iphones for 2 seconds, keep running into recessions, etc.
And they may live long enough to see the world end.
Millennials saw every economic crash that boomers saw but never an opportunity to prepare for it since it started when we were 3 and the. Every 5-8 years major crashes
Zoomers got more access to capital earlier in life where it really really matters.
Like lathe covid lock down money coming in right at high school $600/week., Student loan forgiveness of $20k with a pell grant WHILE in college.
If you played your cards right you're an 18 year kid as a zoomer with $50,000 CASH, free college if you're in a 4year and underemployment.
Millennials graduated into Obama, 20-25% unemployment and a mini wage of $7 an hour with jobs being ultra competitive (master's degree level) at $10/hr in 2008
They are getting those things because the economy was stalling because no one had money.
The government doing massive handouts isn't a sign everything is going great.
>$600/week >$50,000 CASH
where the frick is all that coming from exactly? Covid stimulus checks were one time payments totaling $2400 and federal student loans are paid directly to schools, not a single cent ever touches your account
$2400 everyone check
+
Covid with a kid money (if your parents stole this they're fricking buttholes)
+
Unemployment payment

$600/week
+ Putting it all in savings
+ Living expenses portion of the grant just going into your paycheck because you're just doing college on Skype for two years...$50k is probably.low

I mean I'm employed now but I'm clearly never going to make enough money to live away from my parents' house. Most of my peers are in a similar position, our boomer parents are always psychotic morons who tried to force us onto a given life path and were failed by them.
Also inflation has gone up. May as well talk about how boomers on minimum wage could afford a house and 5 children and that millenials had it so easy because they made more than boomers (ignoring that with inflation adjusted to now they were making like 25 an hour or something flipping burgers).
Every generation is going to have it worse than the last because society is decaying and falling apart around us.
I should have fricking debtmaxxed I paid for my own fricking college and now this shit is happening, do you know how many guns and how much gear I could have bought with that tuition money
Zoomers are mentally barely able to clean a toilet or feed themselves. Their children won't even manage that. I met a milennial woman ten years ago who had just finished secondary school and did not know how to plug a power cord into a wall socket. She claimed her friends or family had always done it for her. Since then I have become aware of millennials at the lower end of the intelligence spectrum:
1)Calling electricians to change lightbulbs
2)Talking to a microwave for nearly a year believing that it needed to be told to 'cook' verbally once the door was closed
3)Unable to place in alphabetical order
4)Attention span 15 minutes or so
5)Unable to tie/untie knots
Zoomers are worse. Difficulty in hand eye coordination, eye tracking, simple special relations puzzles etc etc.
the later. imagine joining the army when minimum wage jobs are posting record salaries for workers or just partying in college getting a bullshit degree while the government will forgives your student loans
You say that like the military doesn't pay well and have housing and all kinds of benefits and pensions and shit. You can stay in for a few years and get the pension, wind down in another career like the post office or something, retire with 2 frickin pensions and be set.

Against all conceivable odds, Zoomers actually manage to be too moronic to join the army.
A lot of people don't mention the genetic component of Zoomers and Gen Alpha from the USA.
A lot of genetic sophistication and breeding discernment core to US civilizational excellence went away after immigration control systems were dismantled.
what the actual unironic frick are you talking about you dumb subhuman ape immigration controls have never been more strict than they are today, this nation used to let huge vast hordes of swarthy immigrants from all corners and basically no shits were given until the whites got sad about Chinatowns and Catholics popping up everywhere in the late 19th/early 20th century

The military has been having analyst after analyst come in to address their recruiting shortfalls, and they all tell them the same thing, you're fricked for the forseable future. > Covid killed off fricking boomers, and even if it handn't, they starting to retire, which creates demand for labor elsewhere > None of the follow-up generations have the laborers to replace the boomers once their gone. That means labor shortages in both the private and public sector are not going away > Mexico is finally industrializing innit's urban centers, which means that cheap Mexican labor is going to dwindle, for both the private and government sectors
So unless a shit load of central and south Americans want to become 0311s and 11Bs, this is the new normal for the USAF. The only upswing is Russia turned out to be incompetant and China's demographics aren't much better.
>Mexico is finally industrializing innit's urban centers, which means that cheap Mexican labor is going to dwindle, for both the private and government sectors

Frick them. Try again with a new recruiter. Circumcision scars are waiverable.
Be military recruiter
Only people who are moronic want to join the military
Have ti deny them cause they are moronic
Maybe the only way forward for the US military is a draft and kicking out anyone dumb enough to voluntarily fight for zog
Western countries need to move to a system of one year conscription (non-combative) followed by mandatory reserve service for all adult men. Being exposed to military culture would make plenty of men who otherwise wouldn't have even considered a military career re-enlist at the end of the conscription, and those men would enter into the "real" forces who actually do shit.
I was joking about the draft
What needs to happen is governments need to start being good. If our government was any good smart strong men would happily fight for it. If our government actually gave a frick about our freedoms people would happily sign up to fight for it.
All military service in a good country should be voluntary
And all taxation in a good country should be voluntary
Why would they? They have no 9/11. Student loans were just forgiven by the government. normally minimum wage jobs are paying 3 times more than they would before. You are expecting people with no reason to join the army to join the army. Unless you want to go shoot guns and drive tanks or live on a boat there is no reason to join the military.
>Student loans were just forgiven by the government.
only 10k. a lot of people I know have between 20-30k. >normally minimum wage jobs are paying 3 times more than they would before.
fast food jobs haven't paid strictly minimum wage in years. and most places haven't raised it to $15. market rate in most places in Ohio is $11-12. its still garbage and the benefits aren't really good at all. if my choice was mcdonalds or the marines I would go with the marines, they both suck but at least I'd get to shoot guns in the marines
you and every other 30yo boomer on here have a fundamental misunderstanding of the calculus. smart people don't join the military, even for free college. the pay and benefits suck in the military. if you plan on getting a STEM job that pays well after college why frick with the military at all? $30k debt from a state college is perfectly manageable if your starting salary at amazon is going to be $100k. you could pay that off during what your service obligation would have been and be living way better than the average enlistee. zoomer students getting liberal arts degrees disagree with the military on a moral level so they will go into $100k of debt to avoid joining. So that cuts out pretty much 99% of the smart people that would join the military. the enlistees you get are just morons that got fricked by their crooters.
Is this really the best photo of recruits they could find? Lmao >Blacks >chinlets >that gaben clone in the back >a fricking tiny asian girl
At this rate they actually will have to rely on drones to fight their wars and police the streets. Let's see how well that goes.
Recruiting challenges aren't helped by the DoD's awful leadership, which seems hellbent on making service members miserable.
Highlights from literally just this week include forces stationed in Hawaii being told to expect a 62% cut to their cost of living allowance pay, which will be "offset" by an expected 4.2% pay raise next year, HQDA telling soldiers to get on food stamps if they struggle to make ends meet, and leadership at Fort Stewart and Fort Bragg telling soldiers that mold in the barracks is their fault and that buildings with mold issues won't be fixed or rebuilt for the foreseeable future.
Hawaii, much like Galveston, is a place best visited and not lived in. If you're living in either place and you aren't rich, then you're living in squalor.

It's silly to nitpick generalizations. There's going to be outlier exceptions to most, if not all, general statements. Being rich enough to make anywhere comfy is obviously an exception to his statement.
I've only been to one and I wouldn't visit the 50th state if you paid me, I've heard it's far worse and not just due to the laws. However, I've noticed the similarities between them.
Don't get me wrong, I love going there and eating at Marios (the inner island one, has the best mousse cake and the best pizza I've ever eaten. Seawall location is worse but the view is a lot nicer) or staying at the resorts, but look at how the residents there live. They're all poor and usually brown unless you live on Cocoa beach or something. Most of the island is basically a huge slum outside the tourist areas and the beach.
And it's STILL better than Hawaii.

Da kine brudda.
I am stationed in Hawaii right now. Everyone in the military, even a single E-3, is economically well above the average non-federal working-class civilian in Hawaii even with a COLA decrease.
Zoom zoom here, I got my first job 7 months ago, I make 16 an hour doing very boring, monotonous factory work
How much would I make if I were to join the army right now?
How many hours a week do you work? Because as a fresh E-1 (Private) you'll make a lovely $22,000/yr. Once you hit E-4 (Corporal) after 4 years you can expect a much more lavish $33,440/yr. Which if you work a 40hr work-week right now is juuust barely more than what you'd probably make right now.
You also have very little expenses. You get free housing and insurance so as long as you don't finance a new charger like a moron you can stack cash like crazy. A guy in my unit did 6 years and two deployments and left the Army with 6 figures in the bank. I did 4 years and one deployment and left with nearly $40k in the bank.
You can't save money like that working for $16/hr and paying rent.
Less than that. You join the military for the benefits like free college, easier time buying a house, monthly gibs for life because PTSD/blown out knees.
Are you still entitled to these things if you're in reserves? May join the National Guard if i can keep my current job and get the benefits of service...

and if you play your cards right (read: you don't go 0311 or 11b) you set yourself up for life by doing some shit that will get you a good paying job. yeah, all the non-shooty MOS are unsexy but sexy doesn't pay the bills if you ain't a prostitute
They don't make shit
And they will justify it by saying they get a bunch of benefits
I guess getting your legs blown off for zog is worth 10 dollars an hour
>Against all conceivable odds, Zoomers actually manage to be too moronic to join the army.
But they do get more benefits. Not paying for housing, electricity, water, food, medical care, and medicine is significantly more than that $5 dollar difference. The soldier would objectively be worse off if he was payed $15.33/hr but had to provide all amenities himself.
You unironically earn more than every non NCO with far less bullshit.
Motherfricker same with millennials, baby boomers and gen x for the most part. You never felt hunger as a child unless you lived in fricking shitholeistan or something.
Speak for yourself anon.
t. older zoomer that grew up in the rust belt with a drug addict BPD mother that nearly got us homeless multiple times during the late 2000’s/early 2010s and was a skinny frick when enlisted >at least my ASVAB was kickass, kek
the only thing that will save humanity is genetic manipulation and eugenics i'm talkin gattaca type shit
Agreed, it’ll be the eugenics we actually need. And will probably still have some way to frick up the entire thing.
Also, you have such an inflated ego about your work ethic that people pity you, and are mentally incapable of putting in an actual honest full day.
You are literally still a child compared even to someone in their late 20s/early 30s.
So stop being a homosexual, stay off your phone until you're done with a job, and get it done you loser.
>Also, you have such an inflated ego about your work ethic that people pity you, and are mentally incapable of putting in an actual honest full day.
I'm kind of losing a bit because I just had a zoomer get fired from where I work because he wouldn't ever show up. While getting paid an easy 20 USD an hour for walking around and being a gofor.
The military should focus on retention. Raise pay, massively better housing for single lower enlisted, cutting the happy horse shit, change the promotion system and retention controls, etc.
They need to remove drug testing, at least for weed. Like 75% of youths smoke the stuff it is more prevalent than alcohol. The top brass are out of touch if they expect their recruits to not have some form of psychoactive substance in their system.
>The top brass are out of touch if they expect their recruits to not have some form of psychoactive substance in their system.
I had no idea how bad things really are...
It is not as if the military was ever particularly associated with intelligence to begin with. For many generations it was in fact one respectable profession even the relatively stupid could carve a path in.

Boomers and 30yo boomers can't understand while zoomers are broke and assume it's because they are lazy and it couldn't be that boomers destroyed the economy.
Which is funny because they used to b***h about boomers themselves when they were younger, while also being cringe emogays. God, I hated emogays, so glad that shit died
>Socrates (469–399 B.C.) QUOTATION: The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise
there were newspaper articles about kids these days and their newfangled radios, handwritten manuscripts about the youths and their mass produced books. It happens literally every time and the next generation does it without a hint of self awareness
Nah, I'm not saying zoomers are stupid or lazy. I'm saying they have crazy opportunities in life..... they're lucky I wish I was one.
I will never be as wealthy as most zoomers simply because I was born at the wrong time. You guys start life with several thousands of dollars at your disposal
yeah, zoomers came of age in the mid 2010's, great times by comparison to everybody else. while millennials were going through 9-11 and the endless wars in the middle east + recessions, zoomers instead grew up on fortnite and anti-bullying campaigns and gay propaganda.
I think Zoomers will have better economic lives because they aren’t as brain-fried as millennials were.
Millennials parents were baby-boomers.
Which means your parents were either hippie communists, anti-communists, or a lite flavor of one of the two.
But that entire ideological era revolved around conceptualizing capitalism as a system.
Good system, bad system, it was just system, system, system.
Zoomers have relatively little of this, instead their experiences with capitalism is mainly in video games, and is generally more in the cooperative spirit of the game.
You have something I like in the video game, I trade fr fr.
If they get into a shit job they don’t like, they aren’t going to go anarchist, they’re just going to say frick this, your wages suck senpai.
They run more on instinct.
And Instinct is better than whatever Marxist dialect the millennials were programmed on imo.
Zoomers have their own issues like identity politics, and woke shit but they at least understand how to quietly leave an employer if the pay sucks, rather than writing a communist manifesto.
You think I’m joking? >Millennials: put out occupy wallstreet. >Gets absolutely skull fricked by management and their financial overseers. For years.
>Zoomers: Quietly goes to play Fortnite or something. “These wages suck man on god fr fr. I don’t really want to go back bruh.” >Management spills it’s spaghetti everywhere and wages go hot for the first time in decades.
Wages are hot because boomers finally retired. I’m addition wages across the world are rising much slower than inflation. Your drinking the Modern Monetary Theory Kool-Aid. The plus side is it really does seem like the turd world is no longer a cheap place to outsource labor. The bad side is this means they too want gasoline, cars and air conditioners (meaning these will all go up in price much more than inflation).
We can only hope. On the flip side the US exports a lot of food which means we have them by the balls for now. I fear these good times might be caused more by the balance of power tipping in the favor of the USA itself. I hope it lasts for a while but boom bust cycles are pretty common. Maybe if evergrande in China implodes their economy for good the USA will be set. This positivity in the economy is pretty rare and it’ll probably go back to shit real soon. Really hope the turd worlders just starve.

There'd need to be a policy of genocide, such large populations in times of famine would likely lead to ecological disaster and real pandemic.
> Wages are hot because boomers finally retired. I’m addition wages across the world are rising much slower than inflation. >Your drinking the Modern Monetary Theory Kool-Aid.
Modern Monetary Theory has been in practice for decades.
When the federal reserve printed all their brrrr money they justified it by saying it’s “non-transitory” aka its going to stay in the hands of financiers and managers and not going to trickle down into employee’s pockets.
This means even though they are printing huge amounts, employee wages aren’t rising and thus consumer good prices aren’t rising. (Which are the big tell to everyone that inflation is happening. And is the only thing the fed cares about, keeping its MMT out of the eye of the public.)
Basically they were betting they could print to the moon and wages could still be kept under an iron collar.
And why wouldn’t they?
They did it successfully in 2008.
Except this time Zoomers went “nah bruh, ima go play Fortnite” and suddenly all management really has left is their money. (It’s really the only thing they ever had.)
Suddenly the non-transitory money is transitory.
So the entire reason why MMT is actually starting to show cracks is because zoomers are are actually running on the instinct that the math doesn’t add up, rather than performing homosexual rallies which accomplish nothing and essentially just encourage people to get a shitty job.
No you stupid little child it is nothing to do with monetary theory which you are probably functionally incapable of actually understanding or discussing. It is simply the fact that for two generations we have measurable declining intelligence. Your post is a good example of that. You are stupid. Zoomers are even stupider. The solution is lower the entry requirements and reconfigure everything for even dumber people.

In 1984, New Zealand educator, James R. Flynn researched how much average IQ test scores had increased over the 20th century and found they increased by an average of 3 points per decade. Flynn attributed this increase to better nutrition. Flynn continued his work and other scientists followed suit until they all noticed that children born in 1975 reached ‘peak IQ’ and average intelligence had been dropping ever since. This is called the ‘Reverse Flynn Effect’.
No one knows for sure why IQs are dropping but a study by Norwegian scientists with access to 30 years of IQ test results for young adults determined that the drop was not due to genetics. The IQ scores of younger siblings dropped more than their older brothers and sisters, in spite of the same parentage and the trend was evident across age groups. This ruled out immigration, which was the most common theory about the cause of the Reverse Flynn Effect.
Millenials and zoomers both understand civilization is maintained on lies of equality and judeomarxist autism. We have 17 year olds ventilating pedophiles, thanks Kyle, while boomers and gen xers/boomers 2 seethe about how Q will save all of is from evil Biden and that if wr never do anything in our lives everything will be okay. The younger generations know this is horseshit and went out and bought guns and ammunition in the worst shortage in history as the boomers howled about how da hecking evil CIAerino will kill you for buying armaments in one of the few places on Earth you even can do that at all. They're moronic from eating lead paint chips as kids. Zoomers and millenials have HRT, plastic and birth control from a century of loose irredeemable women in the water supplies we cannot ever filter out. Everyone's screwed and only the below-40s get that or even care. The younger generations are also keeping churches open since boomers and xers are moronic homosexuals that think tithing is somehow a sin even though they larp all day about how they're super ultra Christians when they've never once opened a Bible in their lives or even gone into a church willingly.
It’s all hearsay with me so I’ll own up to my moronation, only time I heard about it was from my great uncle who was force conscripted when offered it at his court hearing for breaking someone’s jaw.
Other than that it’s from a few other Vietnam vets.
This is a vatnik conspiracy that instead of "VAX VAX VAX" they want to forget the fact that it is a less than miniscule amount of times we have either increased or decreased the size of our war footing and subsequently has anyone other than the United States emerged anywhere other than last place.
I'm not American and we're suffering to recruit here too. Basically, the men who are good enough for the armed forces can just go to the private sector to make much more money and not deal with the whole military bullshit.
Obviously, I got no data about the American armed forces, but I can guarantee one thing: if OP's pic looks bad, keep in mind it's the tip of the iceberg because the retention rate in specialized positions (from tech to pilots) is shit.
Okay, but why would I, a white guy who did well in school, join the army? So they can send me to die in another unwinnable war in the middle east in order to "protect" Black person-worshipping middle-managers who just tried to shut down the entire country for two years over a flu?
Yet they wont let me join the reserves as a US citizen with a great ASAB score all because I live in Taiwan. Okinawa is only an hour away, let me fricking join.
>pays worse than burger flipping in McD >constant risk on your life >brass is more focused on diversity basket cases than grunts >society lost respect for soldiers, you're seen as lower than a garbage collector >on top of all that, the recruitment campaigns sucks
But hey, at least the health benefits are okay, r-right?
Funny thing is if they paid enlisted better instead of paying $400 a gallon for diesel they could have the cream of the crop.
Instead they are full of frickwits that can't make it in civi life and that drives away the few patriots with a brain.
It's 'peace time'. The army doesn't need a bunch of people just taking up space on bases. Once we enter our next war, the army will be eager to accept some cannon fodder.
>Against all conceivable odds, Zoomers actually manage to be too moronic to join the army.
Flynn effect reversed around 1970 up until then intelligence went up
GenX ->MIlennials(-6 IQ points)->(Zoomers -8 IQ points)
To understand this, an average zoomer will seem actually moronic to an average GenX
zoomers for the most part are smart enough to avoid military service and there's enough jobs where you are treated at least a bit better.
I still think the most moronic generation are the boomers.
>t.millenial
The plain fact is 'milennial' that you are literally relatively stupid, not so much as it can be immediately noticed (that is zoomers) but enough. If you want to know why there is no new great literature, poetry music, film, cinema, just capeshit, spaceshit, swordshit and autotune despite the incredible tools left to mileniials and zoomers, look no further. There has been no real innovation since the 19990s either. Millennials themselves seem to be aware of this, as youths there was a great deal of squawking from them about only working as 'creative's. While they had impaired intelligence they seem to have had self awareness that their complete failure to be able to produce anything new that built on the preceding generations would call their bluff on faking it. In fact the fake it to make it seems to define the milennial approch. Lights are on, no intelligence is home. As regards zoomers...well 14 IQ point difference between teh average GenX and average Zoomer a generation that worship an actual moron like Gretta...but wait the children of zoomers will have difficulty operating simple machines or caring for themselves and be completely incapable of maintaining advanced civilisation. John B Calhoun saw it all.

For years indicators of cognitive abilities and academic competencies suggested that humans’ ability to effective cope with their environment is improving (dubbed the Flynn effect). Recent evidence suggests that this trend may be turning.

The relevance of the results to education and its potential implications are discussed.
Note that this process of decline in intelligence (it is not limited to decline in language or mathematical) predates the internet. Millennials are definitely stupid but not immediately noticeably so. Zoomers are actually borderline moronic and their children will be moronic. Much of the effected pretension of millennials is in fact an attempt by them to camouflage their reduced intelligence so they are not penalised in social status. Fascinatingly enough they also have a predilection for cheating for example rehearsing IQ tests. Zoomers....the average zoomeris mentally challenged tryingt o pick out clothes to wear appropriate for the weather outside. The lower end of zoomer intelligence cannot even begin to tell the difference between facts and advertising. Did Kayne West really get described as a musical genius by a generation? Yes he did.
Zoomers are mentally barely able to clean a toilet or feed themselves. Their children won't even manage that. I met a milennial woman ten years ago who had just finished secondary school and did not know how to plug a power cord into a wall socket. She claimed her friends or family had always done it for her. Since then I have become aware of millennials at the lower end of the intelligence spectrum:
1)Calling electricians to change lightbulbs
2)Talking to a microwave for nearly a year believing that it needed to be told to 'cook' verbally once the door was closed
3)Unable to place in alphabetical order
4)Attention span 15 minutes or so
5)Unable to tie/untie knots
Zoomers are worse. Difficulty in hand eye coordination, eye tracking, simple special relations puzzles etc etc.

You could say that the Flynn Effect is down to our progress as a species. So why, as we are still evolving, is our IQ now dropping? The data shows that from the 1970’s onwards, our intelligence has started falling.
In one study, data was used from compulsory IQ tests given to young Norwegian military servicemen between 1970 and 2009. Over 730,000 results were collected. The results suggested that each generation dropped an average of 7 IQ points.
For years indicators of cognitive abilities and academic competencies suggested that humans’ ability to effective cope with their environment is improving (dubbed the Flynn effect). Recent evidence suggests that this trend may be turning. This study explores data obtained from the Program for International Student Assessment for an intentional sample of 9 countries over the last 6 years and suggests that indeed there is evidence of substantial decrease in students competencies and literacy in Language (writing) and Math beyond possible economical, and national factors.

>Seems like bullshit and no I did not read your source.
There you go, there is a fairly average and representative example of the decline in intelligence in zoomers and millennials. You can be absolutely certain that this subject does not even realise he is mentally deficient either but believes himself just as capable or more capable than someone of high intelligence.
Oh yeah I'm moronic but im not so moronic that im gonna waste my time reading your source. I mean in that time I could frick your mother twice. I have priorities man.

This is because millennials got min-maxed into crystallized intelligence by their educational system and no child left behind and crap. (Memory, Math, and Recollection).
They prefer to memorize answers and copy paste articles about the reverse Flynn effect because it’s all they are good at.
Fluid Intelligence (Pattern recognition, Problem Solving) is basically non existent in the education system.
But it is existent in video games.
However Zoomers are still stuck on the currently broken education system.
So I think Zoomers will get an appreciable but small bump in pattern recognition and problem solving.
But still be just a bad as millennials, because if they don’t min-max crystallized intelligence they won’t make it through the education system.
The reversal of the Flynn effect is why GenX actually hates everyone. Everyone older then them tends to be stupider and ever one younger tends to be stupider. Not just that but they are demographically smaller in number. It is unsurprising that ideocracy resonates with them.
If they want me to join the army they have to let me have my medical weed. Otherwise with access to that many firearms I'm liable to blow my own brains out. This is the world they created. It's not our fault we were born into it.
if you weren't 4-F yourself you'd probably understand that this just means that the only people wanting to join the military are fricking morons and rejects. It's not a problem with "zoomers" and it's not a problem with Americans either, it's a problem with public perception of the military. Also: patriotism is at like an all-time low since the middle of fricking Vietnam.

This includes things like having kids sign the papers and immediately go to military fat camp, or spending time with kids after hours to teach them to read. His stories are fricking wild.
I feel like the Biden regime is purposefully gimping the US in every way possible. I'm trying to join the Army right now and MEPs went through my whole life to find that when I was 6 I apparently had my adenoids to help with a sleep apnea I dont even remember. I'm 22. They refuse to move me forward until I get those records released and Darnall is dragging their fricking ass getting that shit together.
I've wanted to join since i was 4. I saw my mom and dad go off to war and I wanted to join them back in '04. 18 years later and my country is doing every possible thing to prevent me from joining as they're falling behind recruitment quotas and drop out rates are increasing.
Jesus Christ, the zoomer generation isn't even biologically viable...
The millennials are the last generation of humans that could breed and produce viable offspring.
Ehh, we don't really know much about millennials' kids, since zoomers are mostly gen x offspring. Judging by early reports, gen alpha is even more moronic than zoomers, so looks like millennials fricked up even more than their parents and older siblings did.
Sorry tinder was new didn't know those chicks got pregnant. They were stupid and fat and I was thirsty and horny.
Grew up without a dad still not going to send money or go help raise them kek
Ah frick you, millennials created gen alpha. I'm a zoomer and I'm fricking stupid but millennials invented trans people, reddit and have moronic sperm so I consider myself at least one level above them.

Satan you should know israelites created trannies a long time ago. Look up what books it was the Nazis were burning.

Trannies existed back then, homosexuality was also very widespread, they borrowed a bit of boy love from the Greeks and ran with it while on meth.

Why won't you just accept he's right about us and move in the right direction. Zoomers are going their doctors in drives with anxiety and depression disorders. Something needs to be done, we need to redeem ourselves. It's time to stop running from responsibility
And I'm not saying to hate yourself. There's so much great about us if we just man up and get this right it'll be beauty beyond compare
1. I'm not a zoomer
2. Just because mental health disorders are being diagnosed much more often today doesn't mean they weren't just as prevalent in the past
They used to lock up schizos and other invalids. They used to call people pussies until they got their shit together. Now they encourage mental illness and tell them its okay to be "different". Now they get you dumb zoomers addicted to these mind altering chemical wienertails at a young age and turn you into an aimless zoombie with zero drive to better yourselves and your liable to snap and harm yourself or others if you stop taking your medicine that has totally warped your minds. I'm 29 years old and thought my generation was bad. It's pretty tragic that instead of people getting their shit together and being ostracized for being shitbags there's a pill you can take so you can be a shitbag and be happy about it and other shitbags will cheer you on that it's not YOUR fault that you can't improve your situation in life its society's so you sit idly by and wait and hope that there will be some societal upheaval that validates your failure to really do anything of meaning when you could have worked towards something in that time and maybe have seen that your situation was a crab in a bucket mentality once you actually broke free of the negative influences that cheered your poor decision making. It's like loose women trying to push their friend into cheating so they won't be the only one who feels guilty. "If "'X" is also doing "Y" then "X" isn't that big of a deal!"
Wew lad
vatniks need to be reintroduced into alaska like wolves into yellowstone
can't really even call zoomers manchildren they look so weedy and underdeveloped they're just children with prematurely fricked hairlines
They're all "special." Been trying to hire an employee for 2 months now and have come to the conclusion I'd rather work 7 days a week 10 hours a day then put up with the special zoomers. Aliens, we need a real live alien invasion to cull the specials. Zoomers are a defect in humanity.
That's because the experiment is reaching its natural conclusion
You stupid Black person, I never said gen alpha was the problem, I was speaking about moronic millennials and their weak ass genes. Goes to show how intelligent you are if you can't properly read.
oh man, exemplifying your utter stupidity. tragic creature
It's how they were raised. No knowledge of hardship, never felt hunger, never needed to work for anything.
Motherfricker same with millennials, baby boomers and gen x for the most part. You never felt hunger as a child unless you lived in fricking shitholeistan or something.
Millennials at least experienced the recession. It hit their homes. Made the difference between being spoiled and spoiled rotten
millennials got kneecapped by the recession right out of the gate. zoomers got covid checks and college debt forgiveness.
>covid checks
wow $2400 that's enough to buy 6 houses and 15 cars, baka kids these days are so spoiled
we got frick all in 2008 and also that was $2400 in the most insane bull market we'll probably ever see. you know that's the worst thing about you zoomer fricks is that you're spoiled but you're too damn stupid to do anything with what you were handed on a silver goddamn platter.

Btw I’m on my 3rd house in the 3rd state I’ve lived so I’m clearly not locked into anything. Last house I sold made me 60k in profit. But I’m sure that dope apartment you rent will serve you just as well. 26 years old btw
$2400 is more than I would have earned in 6 months when I graduated highschool.....if you bought during the down turn you'd have $10k in an index fund reinvesting the dividends.
You'll be at McDonald's cash poor but exponentially increasing your net worth every month
How can you pay the highest rent in history and invest at the same time on minimum wage?
Since when did high school kids not live with mom and dad?
I made a shit load of money during covid. I got space dropped crypto and started a business with that money
If we can do a new lock down every 5 years or so that would be great

I'm quit my office job to learn machining and I'm telling you 2020+ is the best time to be alive there is so much opportunity.
You're arguing that you fricked up dropped out of college and thus didn't get the free $50k+
When I graduated highschool I never had the fricking opportunity to even conceive of earning that much in a single year....post 9/11 military dudes didn't even get close to that
>just give up be homeless you spoiled zoomer, stop acting so entitled
You're not entitled. But if you made better life choices as a zoomer you wouldn't be struggling life is just too damn good for a zoomer to be poor like how is it even possible. You guys can afford these badass souped up BMWs and shit easy you have more opportunities, use them
Why is it always the most dense and out of touch motherfrickers who have to speak on a position of authority with something they know frickall about? The only thing that separates zoomers from millennials and older folks is that we were wienerslapped by reality from the day we were born by both horrifically broken families and being one of the earliest adopters to truly experience the internet for what it is now. In this case you have your Rittenhouses, your wannabe Wolf of Wall Street thinking he’s hot shit because he figured out what a short was and hodled GME, and are generally exposed to more of these rather unsavory elements than those before at a younger age. But thats mostly because we have no fricking choice if we want to actually one day be a part of the sacred cow that is actual home ownership or any sort of wealth that doesn’t involve slaving away into dust for pennies and an occasional sticker every 20 years. Either way I can guaran fricking tee you the average zoomer is nowhere near what these manufactured shills on twatter and Chinese apps are like, they’re either a neurotic mess that get panic attacks talking to cashiers or hopping from shitty wagie job to shitty wagie job coked up on a near 24/7 drug wienertail. Most of us are completely fricked economically to where actually owning some basic b***h cookie cutter house in a neighborhood that isn’t Chiraq tier is a pipe dream because of how bad prices and especially the value of a dollar became.
t. 23 year old zoomer
Thats more of a thing of timing, considering how the economy went for years and all the covid shit. Millions upon millions of people were out of a job by next morning back in 2020 from the knockoff USSR, that year opened the floodgates to something thats been brewing since before even we were alive, case in point Falling Down, Office Space, Fight Club, Taxi Driver, etc. People have been getting more and more pissed for decades, 2020 was just the breaking point.
> Thats more of a thing of timing,
This is true, Covid did disrupt a lot of inertia in labor markets, where a lot of people were running on the expectations of having (x) job, rather than the reality of what (x) job was paying you.
But I think the Occupy Wall Street approach is still the worse approach.
To the majority of bystanders it just paints as sense of urgency.
Urgency in getting a job.
Which in turn drives up labor competition, even though it’s a recession and people are protesting conditions.
You’re more willing to take the job with that shit pay because what are you going to do, join those occupy losers?
Meanwhile the zoomer approach is much more devastating.
Everyone just leaves.
There’s no sense of urgency.
No sense for anything except doubt.
“Why is everyone leaving?”
“Is their something wrong?”
“Why aren’t they coming back?”
“Am I missing out, or getting underpaid?”
The instinct based, quiet treatment fricking works, and leaves management scrambling.
>Want to become a plumber YouTube.
No, not the fabled PrepHolener-to-plumber pipeline again.
The real best alternative is to disability fraud, and become a welfare leech that does nothing but toils endlessly until eventual mental insanity. Once you've reached that point you can have fun committing arson, or go on a shooting spree, if you really read up on your stuff you can become a bomber.

This ugly flip son of a b***h gets $44,000/yr tax-free for the rest of his life because he was medically retired after 6 months of USAF basic training for "bipolar disorder" (which really should have been a failure to adapt entry-level separation with no benefits). Take a glimpse at his reddit post history, it alone indicates he's on that track you described (except for the toiling part).

seconded.
Information and opportunity aren’t the same thing you fricking moron especially when everyone on the planet has access to it.
If anything you’ve just identified another huge fricking problem in the modern world.
So you are talking about kids that were in school, living at home and working at the same time? That limits it to an age group of ~2 years and you are acting like that's a whole generation.
Also the neoliberal economic destruction of the working class is very real despite how things may look from your ivory tower.
Like I told that other anon, you can't invest that money when it all has to go towards your rent payment
Zoomers may be moronic but at least they aren't soi bois.
yes they are. zoomers are so soi that they dont even 'identify' as male.
>31 year old dude at work
>has a kid

>Zoomers may be moronic but at least they aren't soi bois.
Zoomers are the result of soi consumption, which crippled the virility of their genY fathers.
Or maybe zoomers are the first generation in a while with a brain and know joining the military is for morons.
classic boomer logic of not doing what they want = people must be moronic
So send them to Ukraine, lol.
Surely they can handle the Vatniks.
You would have to be moronic to join the army these days
These, I'm gen-X and it's clear to me zoomers are way smarter than boomers.
Either only the most moronic are signing up or Todd South is full of shit.
I’m a zoomer. I’d love to join the army but I’m disqualified because I had an allergic reaction to peanuts as a teenager. Not allergic anymore but it’s in my record. Sucks.
You can get a waiver
Until then, tourists raus
Any tips on getting a waiver?
Tell a recruiter you want to join and they’ll get you one
moron you can get a waiver for that, I have a tree nuts allergy and I got in. Try not joining the Air Force, Marines took me.
>Marines
lol
Bring a PB&J to an Air Force recruiter and then eat it to prove you don't have a peanut allergy, it'll build solidarity.
I did that to my doctor to prove I wasnt allergic anymore. He said I was allergic to peanuts so the next time I had an appointment I pulled out a bag of peanuts and swallowed them all at once.
My record thus states that I am no longer allergic to anything, but I do technically have an overnight hospital visit due to anaphylaxis on my record, as well as an epi pen and anti allergy med prescription.
I’d like to add that I never used either medications or epi pen, and they’re long since expired, but they still show up as being prescribed. Anaphylaxis to food is a DQ from any branch according to google
If you score higher than an 80 on the ASVAB you should have no problem getting a waiver for BS like that. They only use stuff like that on morons, because if they're going to take a moron, he better have perfect health because there's enough to chose from who do.
I was disqualified from joining because of my eye sight and my recruiter jumped through hoops to get me a waiver.
Can you get a waiver for type 1 diabetes or am I fricked?
>the zoomer gave up as soon as a problem came up
Go get a waiver then moron, peanut allergies aren’t a career killer.
Speaking as a near-40 year old, I feel bad for the younger generation. Saw 9/11 so they don't know a time without surveillance land, grew up with Internet so no memory without it, can't stop looking at their fricking Iphones for 2 seconds, keep running into recessions, etc.
And they may live long enough to see the world end.
That's millennials. Zoomers have it better.
Millennials saw every economic crash that boomers saw but never an opportunity to prepare for it since it started when we were 3 and the. Every 5-8 years major crashes
>Zoomers have it better
Kek, zoomers will never be able to afford a house, at least millennials that brought at 20 had a chance of doing that.
zoomers will never own anything, give it 10 years and there won't be a single thing that isn't a monthly subscription
Zoomers got more access to capital earlier in life where it really really matters.
Like lathe covid lock down money coming in right at high school $600/week., Student loan forgiveness of $20k with a pell grant WHILE in college.
If you played your cards right you're an 18 year kid as a zoomer with $50,000 CASH, free college if you're in a 4year and underemployment.
Millennials graduated into Obama, 20-25% unemployment and a mini wage of $7 an hour with jobs being ultra competitive (master's degree level) at $10/hr in 2008
They are getting those things because the economy was stalling because no one had money.
The government doing massive handouts isn't a sign everything is going great.
>$600/week
>$50,000 CASH
where the frick is all that coming from exactly? Covid stimulus checks were one time payments totaling $2400 and federal student loans are paid directly to schools, not a single cent ever touches your account
$2400 everyone check
+
Covid with a kid money (if your parents stole this they're fricking buttholes)
+
Unemployment payment
+
$600/week
+ Putting it all in savings
+ Living expenses portion of the grant just going into your paycheck because you're just doing college on Skype for two years...$50k is probably.low
+ TikTok as revenue since all you fricks have timtoks with a shit load of followers
>it's easy, all you gotta do is have the complete financial support of your parents
Reminder that this is what you’re talking too every time this moron tripgay resurfaces.
>Zoomers got more access to capital earlier in life where it really really matters.
>If you played your cards right
I had like 3 years after graduating high school before 2020 happened. In that time I:
>struggled to find a job for about a year
>worked shit retail jobs that tried to kill me one way or another
>was forced to attend college by my dad and dropped out after it was clear to him I wasn't up to the task because I'm not hyper-intelligent but autistic and there was nothing I wanted to do that required college anyways
>struggled to find a job again during the pandemic, Black person riots, and more
I mean I'm employed now but I'm clearly never going to make enough money to live away from my parents' house. Most of my peers are in a similar position, our boomer parents are always psychotic morons who tried to force us onto a given life path and were failed by them.
Also inflation has gone up. May as well talk about how boomers on minimum wage could afford a house and 5 children and that millenials had it so easy because they made more than boomers (ignoring that with inflation adjusted to now they were making like 25 an hour or something flipping burgers).
Every generation is going to have it worse than the last because society is decaying and falling apart around us.
The zoomers with loan forgiveness are really the tail end of millennials.
Because none of the really young Zoomers are in college yet.
I should have fricking debtmaxxed I paid for my own fricking college and now this shit is happening, do you know how many guns and how much gear I could have bought with that tuition money
>millennials that brought at 20
so nobody
No they do not. Zoomers are completely fricked and the younger ones will barely remember first world America.
Zoomers are mentally barely able to clean a toilet or feed themselves. Their children won't even manage that. I met a milennial woman ten years ago who had just finished secondary school and did not know how to plug a power cord into a wall socket. She claimed her friends or family had always done it for her. Since then I have become aware of millennials at the lower end of the intelligence spectrum:
1)Calling electricians to change lightbulbs
2)Talking to a microwave for nearly a year believing that it needed to be told to 'cook' verbally once the door was closed
3)Unable to place in alphabetical order
4)Attention span 15 minutes or so
5)Unable to tie/untie knots
Zoomers are worse. Difficulty in hand eye coordination, eye tracking, simple special relations puzzles etc etc.
yeah i feel bad, the 1990s morning cartoons without having to worry about sand Black folk or vatniks chimping out
Are zoomers moronic, or are only the most moronic zoomers joining the military?
the later. imagine joining the army when minimum wage jobs are posting record salaries for workers or just partying in college getting a bullshit degree while the government will forgives your student loans
You say that like the military doesn't pay well and have housing and all kinds of benefits and pensions and shit. You can stay in for a few years and get the pension, wind down in another career like the post office or something, retire with 2 frickin pensions and be set.

>84 faculty member at AAU school
There’s a push to do away with the GRE in non-engineering or fancy STEM (by fancy STEM I mean the deep dark end of STEM) programs so we can boost our diversity numbers and get black females in grad school to boost our rankings.
Who pushes that? Actual names in the school. Who is in charge? I want names
The administration. My boss and those who tell him what to do. I don’t give a frick, I don’t deal with doctoral students. I shit out my articles and I get published no problem, so I ain’t gonna perish.
Likely never. When shit gets bad, we will just shed the dead weight and keep on trucking. We bring in over a billion dollars per year in research money, we are doing fine. I bring in a few million just on my own and I’m in a social science. Frick it. I got mine. That’s the one thing I learned from my baby boomer parents: get yours and frick everyone else. I have a consulting side hustle and I bring in more money through that than what my 80+ hour a week job brings in and I only really work like six hours a week on average consulting.
When the time comes you won't be able to shed the dead weight because by then you won't be able to identify the problem. Keep stacking that fiat though, I'm sure its value will rise.
I’ll be gone by then. I speak Swiss-German and have contacts at UofB.
I'm sure you'll be fine. Hope you fly a 737 Max there!
Nah. I’ll take a boat. Maybe I’ll hit an iceberg, though.
Lol. Shiny metal's value is tied to fiat, as is crypto. There's no escape.

>There’s a push to do away with the GRE in non-engineering or fancy STEM (by fancy STEM I mean the deep dark end of STEM) programs so we can boost our diversity numbers and get black females in grad school to boost our rankings.
So how many decades until the system completely collapses under it's own weight?
A lot of people don't mention the genetic component of Zoomers and Gen Alpha from the USA.
A lot of genetic sophistication and breeding discernment core to US civilizational excellence went away after immigration control systems were dismantled.
what the actual unironic frick are you talking about you dumb subhuman ape immigration controls have never been more strict than they are today, this nation used to let huge vast hordes of swarthy immigrants from all corners and basically no shits were given until the whites got sad about Chinatowns and Catholics popping up everywhere in the late 19th/early 20th century

The military has been having analyst after analyst come in to address their recruiting shortfalls, and they all tell them the same thing, you're fricked for the forseable future.
> Covid killed off fricking boomers, and even if it handn't, they starting to retire, which creates demand for labor elsewhere
> None of the follow-up generations have the laborers to replace the boomers once their gone. That means labor shortages in both the private and public sector are not going away
> Mexico is finally industrializing innit's urban centers, which means that cheap Mexican labor is going to dwindle, for both the private and government sectors
So unless a shit load of central and south Americans want to become 0311s and 11Bs, this is the new normal for the USAF. The only upswing is Russia turned out to be incompetant and China's demographics aren't much better.
>Mexico is finally industrializing innit's urban centers, which means that cheap Mexican labor is going to dwindle, for both the private and government sectors
Does this mean they can all go back home?
They're absolutely moronic.
idk, not wanting to die for a bullshit cause seems pretty smart to me
It's not that they don't want to, it's that they're too fricking stupid to get in despite still trying.
you got any proof to back up that claim or is it just how you feel
Do you have a source on that?
Source?
A source. I need a source.
Sorry, I mean I need a source that explicitly states your argument. This is just tangential to the discussion.
No, you can't make inferences and observations from the sources you've gathered. Any additional comments from you MUST be a subset of the information from the sources you've gathered.
You can't make normative statements from empirical evidence.
Do you have a degree in that field?
A college degree? In that field?
Then your arguments are invalid.
No, it doesn't matter how close those data points are correlated. Correlation does not equal causation.

zoomers for the most part are smart enough to avoid military service and there's enough jobs where you are treated at least a bit better.
I still think the most moronic generation are the boomers.
>t.millenial
>avoiding goys military

Id argue zoomers have a much wider access to info than we did even 20 years ago. No fricking shit they dont want to join the military

Have ti deny them cause they are moronic
Maybe the only way forward for the US military is a draft and kicking out anyone dumb enough to voluntarily fight for zog
Western countries need to move to a system of one year conscription (non-combative) followed by mandatory reserve service for all adult men. Being exposed to military culture would make plenty of men who otherwise wouldn't have even considered a military career re-enlist at the end of the conscription, and those men would enter into the "real" forces who actually do shit.
I was joking about the draft
What needs to happen is governments need to start being good. If our government was any good smart strong men would happily fight for it. If our government actually gave a frick about our freedoms people would happily sign up to fight for it.
All military service in a good country should be voluntary
And all taxation in a good country should be voluntary
Why would they? They have no 9/11. Student loans were just forgiven by the government. normally minimum wage jobs are paying 3 times more than they would before. You are expecting people with no reason to join the army to join the army. Unless you want to go shoot guns and drive tanks or live on a boat there is no reason to join the military.
>Student loans were just forgiven by the government.
only 10k. a lot of people I know have between 20-30k.
>normally minimum wage jobs are paying 3 times more than they would before.
fast food jobs haven't paid strictly minimum wage in years. and most places haven't raised it to $15. market rate in most places in Ohio is $11-12. its still garbage and the benefits aren't really good at all. if my choice was mcdonalds or the marines I would go with the marines, they both suck but at least I'd get to shoot guns in the marines
you and every other 30yo boomer on here have a fundamental misunderstanding of the calculus. smart people don't join the military, even for free college. the pay and benefits suck in the military. if you plan on getting a STEM job that pays well after college why frick with the military at all? $30k debt from a state college is perfectly manageable if your starting salary at amazon is going to be $100k. you could pay that off during what your service obligation would have been and be living way better than the average enlistee. zoomer students getting liberal arts degrees disagree with the military on a moral level so they will go into $100k of debt to avoid joining. So that cuts out pretty much 99% of the smart people that would join the military. the enlistees you get are just morons that got fricked by their crooters.
Why do they all have fat swollen heads

At this rate they actually will have to rely on drones to fight their wars and police the streets. Let's see how well that goes.
Recruiting challenges aren't helped by the DoD's awful leadership, which seems hellbent on making service members miserable.
Highlights from literally just this week include forces stationed in Hawaii being told to expect a 62% cut to their cost of living allowance pay, which will be "offset" by an expected 4.2% pay raise next year, HQDA telling soldiers to get on food stamps if they struggle to make ends meet, and leadership at Fort Stewart and Fort Bragg telling soldiers that mold in the barracks is their fault and that buildings with mold issues won't be fixed or rebuilt for the foreseeable future.
they get to live in hawaii for free on my dime FRICK EM
Hawaii, much like Galveston, is a place best visited and not lived in. If you're living in either place and you aren't rich, then you're living in squalor.
>comparing Hawaii and Galveston
I mean what the frick
No, if you've visited either you'll get it. It's a lot like New York City, in that visiting is great, living there is a hell beyond imagining.
I live in New York City I love it here. I also have money though so I’m comfortable anywhere.
>I also have money though
Yeah, green makes anywhere comfortable. Other poster pretty specifically said, "and you aren't rich, then you're living in squalor."
No, he said New York is great to visit but hell to live in. I’m saying my life says otherwise. Pick yourself up by your boot straps this is America you can have this too.
No, I said New York is great to visit but hell to live in, and I'm speaking from the perspective of those who weren't fortunate enough to have a trust fund or a lavish inheritance and have to actually work for a living.
It's silly to nitpick generalizations. There's going to be outlier exceptions to most, if not all, general statements. Being rich enough to make anywhere comfy is obviously an exception to his statement.
I've only been to one and I wouldn't visit the 50th state if you paid me, I've heard it's far worse and not just due to the laws. However, I've noticed the similarities between them.
Don't get me wrong, I love going there and eating at Marios (the inner island one, has the best mousse cake and the best pizza I've ever eaten. Seawall location is worse but the view is a lot nicer) or staying at the resorts, but look at how the residents there live. They're all poor and usually brown unless you live on Cocoa beach or something. Most of the island is basically a huge slum outside the tourist areas and the beach.
And it's STILL better than Hawaii.
youre livng in "squalor" with cheap seafood, constant sunshine with a cool ocean breeze and hot asian chicks everywhere
>Hawaii
Da kine brudda.
I am stationed in Hawaii right now. Everyone in the military, even a single E-3, is economically well above the average non-federal working-class civilian in Hawaii even with a COLA decrease.
they were putting servicemen up in the frickin' sheraton waikiki when i was there because of the fuel leak lol
Zoom zoom here, I got my first job 7 months ago, I make 16 an hour doing very boring, monotonous factory work
How much would I make if I were to join the army right now?
How many hours a week do you work? Because as a fresh E-1 (Private) you'll make a lovely $22,000/yr. Once you hit E-4 (Corporal) after 4 years you can expect a much more lavish $33,440/yr. Which if you work a 40hr work-week right now is juuust barely more than what you'd probably make right now.
>less than $50k/yr
and they ask why no one want to join
You also have very little expenses. You get free housing and insurance so as long as you don't finance a new charger like a moron you can stack cash like crazy. A guy in my unit did 6 years and two deployments and left the Army with 6 figures in the bank. I did 4 years and one deployment and left with nearly $40k in the bank.
You can't save money like that working for $16/hr and paying rent.
Are you still entitled to these things if you're in reserves? May join the National Guard if i can keep my current job and get the benefits of service...
I'm young enough to live at home, I only pay 200$ a month to help with bills and otherwise have free reign.
I think you get a partial GI bill, some gibs and full housing benefits in the reserves but it takes like a year or two to kick in.
Less than that. You join the military for the benefits like free college, easier time buying a house, monthly gibs for life because PTSD/blown out knees.
and if you play your cards right (read: you don't go 0311 or 11b) you set yourself up for life by doing some shit that will get you a good paying job. yeah, all the non-shooty MOS are unsexy but sexy doesn't pay the bills if you ain't a prostitute
Pay rates are available online.
I made $53k working at Amazon with the overtime and double pay last year. No wonder nobody wants to join.
>Work as a fricking receptionist
>Make 2x what a military man would make upon enlistment
Yeah army can get fricked.
It's tax free you tards.
No its not. Even worse, they automatically deduct payment for the goyslop defac, even if you never eat there
you dont make enough actual money to even get income tax you literal poor gay
>you dont make enough actual money to even get income tax you literal poor gay
Now do the one for married with a kid.
They don't make shit
And they will justify it by saying they get a bunch of benefits
I guess getting your legs blown off for zog is worth 10 dollars an hour
>Against all conceivable odds, Zoomers actually manage to be too moronic to join the army.
But they do get more benefits. Not paying for housing, electricity, water, food, medical care, and medicine is significantly more than that $5 dollar difference. The soldier would objectively be worse off if he was payed $15.33/hr but had to provide all amenities himself.
You unironically earn more than every non NCO with far less bullshit.
Speak for yourself anon.
t. older zoomer that grew up in the rust belt with a drug addict BPD mother that nearly got us homeless multiple times during the late 2000’s/early 2010s and was a skinny frick when enlisted

Agreed, it’ll be the eugenics we actually need. And will probably still have some way to frick up the entire thing.
He makes more than e5s with less work stress, and with a better quality of life.
A lot, lot, lot less than that.
Also, you have such an inflated ego about your work ethic that people pity you, and are mentally incapable of putting in an actual honest full day.
You are literally still a child compared even to someone in their late 20s/early 30s.
So stop being a homosexual, stay off your phone until you're done with a job, and get it done you loser.
>Also, you have such an inflated ego about your work ethic that people pity you, and are mentally incapable of putting in an actual honest full day.
I'm kind of losing a bit because I just had a zoomer get fired from where I work because he wouldn't ever show up. While getting paid an easy 20 USD an hour for walking around and being a gofor.
I thought literally anyone could join the Army, since when are they picky?
the only thing that will save humanity is genetic manipulation and eugenics i'm talkin gattaca type shit
Or just stop raising McDonald's munching tech addicts and importing subhumans from all corners of the Earth?
they're better off being dumb and not enlisted than midwits enlisted.
The military should focus on retention. Raise pay, massively better housing for single lower enlisted, cutting the happy horse shit, change the promotion system and retention controls, etc.
The only .mil career path worth pursuing if you want to make money is infosec, 2nd place would be nuke tech.
Literally every other MOS are dead-ends.
Who even signs up for the army anymore, soldiers on foodstamps dawg.
only borderline homeless kids and real fricking patriots left.
They need to remove drug testing, at least for weed. Like 75% of youths smoke the stuff it is more prevalent than alcohol. The top brass are out of touch if they expect their recruits to not have some form of psychoactive substance in their system.
75% of your group, maybe.
>The top brass are out of touch if they expect their recruits to not have some form of psychoactive substance in their system.
I had no idea how bad things really are...
75% of the military smokes weed. They just manage to quit for long enough to pass drug tests. If you can’t manage that much, we don’t need you
It is not as if the military was ever particularly associated with intelligence to begin with. For many generations it was in fact one respectable profession even the relatively stupid could carve a path in.
>only a complete moron would allow themselves to be recruited by the Army right now
>only morons end up being recruited
Oh wow, didn't see that coming.
Smart zoomers know that the army is a scam and that America doesn’t stand for anything worth fighting for
>covid stimulus dates: april 2020, dec 2020, march 2021

you're a genius thanks for the advice
Offer free Jordans and airpods and those idiots would sign right up
to be fair i would have joined if i have come early at this contry(i have always like military stuff sadly venezuela its a hell hole worse than russia in this regard), sadly i came here at 24 and im 27 now, so kinda too late i guess.
would have joined the navy or the marine thou
Why does everyone seethe about zoomers? They're honestly not that bad, just very boring.
Boomers and 30yo boomers can't understand while zoomers are broke and assume it's because they are lazy and it couldn't be that boomers destroyed the economy.
Which is funny because they used to b***h about boomers themselves when they were younger, while also being cringe emogays. God, I hated emogays, so glad that shit died
Scene girls were great but actual emos were gays.
it's tradition for old farts to b***h and moan about kids these days
>Socrates (469–399 B.C.) QUOTATION: The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise
there were newspaper articles about kids these days and their newfangled radios, handwritten manuscripts about the youths and their mass produced books. It happens literally every time and the next generation does it without a hint of self awareness
Supplement chatter with blasting coon toons and this applies to today.
Millennials aged 20 years in advance and are basically in the grumpy 50yo grandpa part of their lives.
Millennial / gen-x depending who you ask here, I don't really see people my age b***hing about zoomers.
Nah, I'm not saying zoomers are stupid or lazy. I'm saying they have crazy opportunities in life..... they're lucky I wish I was one.
I will never be as wealthy as most zoomers simply because I was born at the wrong time. You guys start life with several thousands of dollars at your disposal
>Nah, I'm not saying zoomers are stupid or lazy.
Speak for yourself fatass, I am saying that.
the whole good times create weak men thing is true, zoomers were born in the goodest times and they are the weakest men.
>late 90s to early 2000s
>good times
Pre-9/11 was better than now
zoomers are too young to remember 9/11 happening let alone the years before it
yeah, zoomers came of age in the mid 2010's, great times by comparison to everybody else. while millennials were going through 9-11 and the endless wars in the middle east + recessions, zoomers instead grew up on fortnite and anti-bullying campaigns and gay propaganda.
I'm an Austgay and they were here, I was earning 1/4th of a house a year as an apprentice in '99.
zoomers were infants while you were raking in all that dosh
Funny enough I'm pretty sure my IQ dropped after I joined the army
Clearly the hand of a machinist.
I'm not saying that helped zoomers at all, I'm just saying the 90s were way better.
I think Zoomers will have better economic lives because they aren’t as brain-fried as millennials were.
Millennials parents were baby-boomers.
Which means your parents were either hippie communists, anti-communists, or a lite flavor of one of the two.
But that entire ideological era revolved around conceptualizing capitalism as a system.
Good system, bad system, it was just system, system, system.
Zoomers have relatively little of this, instead their experiences with capitalism is mainly in video games, and is generally more in the cooperative spirit of the game.
You have something I like in the video game, I trade fr fr.
If they get into a shit job they don’t like, they aren’t going to go anarchist, they’re just going to say frick this, your wages suck senpai.
They run more on instinct.
And Instinct is better than whatever Marxist dialect the millennials were programmed on imo.
Zoomers have their own issues like identity politics, and woke shit but they at least understand how to quietly leave an employer if the pay sucks, rather than writing a communist manifesto.
>but they at least understand how to quietly leave an employer if the pay sucks, rather than writing a communist manifesto.
kek
You think I’m joking?
>Millennials: put out occupy wallstreet.
>Gets absolutely skull fricked by management and their financial overseers. For years.
>Zoomers: Quietly goes to play Fortnite or something. “These wages suck man on god fr fr. I don’t really want to go back bruh.”
>Management spills it’s spaghetti everywhere and wages go hot for the first time in decades.
The quiet treatment just works.
very true/
Wages are hot because boomers finally retired. I’m addition wages across the world are rising much slower than inflation. Your drinking the Modern Monetary Theory Kool-Aid. The plus side is it really does seem like the turd world is no longer a cheap place to outsource labor. The bad side is this means they too want gasoline, cars and air conditioners (meaning these will all go up in price much more than inflation).
third worldies are all about to starve to death in the food shortage, thankfully.
We can only hope. On the flip side the US exports a lot of food which means we have them by the balls for now. I fear these good times might be caused more by the balance of power tipping in the favor of the USA itself. I hope it lasts for a while but boom bust cycles are pretty common. Maybe if evergrande in China implodes their economy for good the USA will be set. This positivity in the economy is pretty rare and it’ll probably go back to shit real soon. Really hope the turd worlders just starve.
>it’ll probably go back to shit real soon. Really hope the turd worlders just starve.
i think that both will happen. the us economy will crash, the rest of the world will crash harder, thirdies will starve.
There'd need to be a policy of genocide, such large populations in times of famine would likely lead to ecological disaster and real pandemic.
What will happen is they flood our already crowded countries and ruin everything with the full support of government.
> Wages are hot because boomers finally retired. I’m addition wages across the world are rising much slower than inflation.
>Your drinking the Modern Monetary Theory Kool-Aid.
Modern Monetary Theory has been in practice for decades.
When the federal reserve printed all their brrrr money they justified it by saying it’s “non-transitory” aka its going to stay in the hands of financiers and managers and not going to trickle down into employee’s pockets.
This means even though they are printing huge amounts, employee wages aren’t rising and thus consumer good prices aren’t rising. (Which are the big tell to everyone that inflation is happening. And is the only thing the fed cares about, keeping its MMT out of the eye of the public.)
Basically they were betting they could print to the moon and wages could still be kept under an iron collar.
And why wouldn’t they?
They did it successfully in 2008.
Except this time Zoomers went “nah bruh, ima go play Fortnite” and suddenly all management really has left is their money. (It’s really the only thing they ever had.)
Suddenly the non-transitory money is transitory.
So the entire reason why MMT is actually starting to show cracks is because zoomers are are actually running on the instinct that the math doesn’t add up, rather than performing homosexual rallies which accomplish nothing and essentially just encourage people to get a shitty job.
No you stupid little child it is nothing to do with monetary theory which you are probably functionally incapable of actually understanding or discussing. It is simply the fact that for two generations we have measurable declining intelligence. Your post is a good example of that. You are stupid. Zoomers are even stupider. The solution is lower the entry requirements and reconfigure everything for even dumber people.
Skill issue.
In 1984, New Zealand educator, James R. Flynn researched how much average IQ test scores had increased over the 20th century and found they increased by an average of 3 points per decade. Flynn attributed this increase to better nutrition. Flynn continued his work and other scientists followed suit until they all noticed that children born in 1975 reached ‘peak IQ’ and average intelligence had been dropping ever since. This is called the ‘Reverse Flynn Effect’.
No one knows for sure why IQs are dropping but a study by Norwegian scientists with access to 30 years of IQ test results for young adults determined that the drop was not due to genetics. The IQ scores of younger siblings dropped more than their older brothers and sisters, in spite of the same parentage and the trend was evident across age groups. This ruled out immigration, which was the most common theory about the cause of the Reverse Flynn Effect.

a zoomer will brainlessly slave for $5 an hour as long as you keep his HRT and xanax coming.
Millenials and zoomers both understand civilization is maintained on lies of equality and judeomarxist autism. We have 17 year olds ventilating pedophiles, thanks Kyle, while boomers and gen xers/boomers 2 seethe about how Q will save all of is from evil Biden and that if wr never do anything in our lives everything will be okay. The younger generations know this is horseshit and went out and bought guns and ammunition in the worst shortage in history as the boomers howled about how da hecking evil CIAerino will kill you for buying armaments in one of the few places on Earth you even can do that at all. They're moronic from eating lead paint chips as kids. Zoomers and millenials have HRT, plastic and birth control from a century of loose irredeemable women in the water supplies we cannot ever filter out. Everyone's screwed and only the below-40s get that or even care. The younger generations are also keeping churches open since boomers and xers are moronic homosexuals that think tithing is somehow a sin even though they larp all day about how they're super ultra Christians when they've never once opened a Bible in their lives or even gone into a church willingly.
Might as well bring back prison diversion to up recruitment.
>people have to be forced to defend your society
Might be a sign it isn't going great.
Sounds just like Vietnam. Recruitment was at an all time low and draft dodging was rampant.
t. moron who knows nothing about Vietnam
It’s all hearsay with me so I’ll own up to my moronation, only time I heard about it was from my great uncle who was force conscripted when offered it at his court hearing for breaking someone’s jaw.
Other than that it’s from a few other Vietnam vets.
>Want to join the military
>Need to lose weight and finish college first to get that sweet officer position.
FRICK.
>You didn't let them degrade and besmirch the great legacy of our armed forces did you, Anon?
This is a vatnik conspiracy that instead of "VAX VAX VAX" they want to forget the fact that it is a less than miniscule amount of times we have either increased or decreased the size of our war footing and subsequently has anyone other than the United States emerged anywhere other than last place.
I'm not American and we're suffering to recruit here too. Basically, the men who are good enough for the armed forces can just go to the private sector to make much more money and not deal with the whole military bullshit.
Obviously, I got no data about the American armed forces, but I can guarantee one thing: if OP's pic looks bad, keep in mind it's the tip of the iceberg because the retention rate in specialized positions (from tech to pilots) is shit.
Okay, but why would I, a white guy who did well in school, join the army? So they can send me to die in another unwinnable war in the middle east in order to "protect" Black person-worshipping middle-managers who just tried to shut down the entire country for two years over a flu?
>The only one that looks even half way capable of military service is a latrino with broccoli hair
I hate zoomers
Yet they wont let me join the reserves as a US citizen with a great ASAB score all because I live in Taiwan. Okinawa is only an hour away, let me fricking join.
>pays worse than burger flipping in McD
>constant risk on your life

But hey, at least the health benefits are okay, r-right?
>pays worse than burger flipping in McD
civilian -ACK!!
But that's Burger King
>job market improves
>people with better options stop joining the army
>quality of average recruit goes down
a tale as old as time
Funny thing is if they paid enlisted better instead of paying $400 a gallon for diesel they could have the cream of the crop.
Instead they are full of frickwits that can't make it in civi life and that drives away the few patriots with a brain.
>you just know
Two phones? What the frick
It's 'peace time'. The army doesn't need a bunch of people just taking up space on bases. Once we enter our next war, the army will be eager to accept some cannon fodder.
da amy be bussin ma doggies no cap
Zoomers are also the most 'diverse' generation. It shouldn't exactly be a surprise that test scores are dropping.
>Against all conceivable odds, Zoomers actually manage to be too moronic to join the army.
Flynn effect reversed around 1970 up until then intelligence went up
GenX ->MIlennials(-6 IQ points)->(Zoomers -8 IQ points)
To understand this, an average zoomer will seem actually moronic to an average GenX
>Flynn effect reverse
The plain fact is 'milennial' that you are literally relatively stupid, not so much as it can be immediately noticed (that is zoomers) but enough. If you want to know why there is no new great literature, poetry music, film, cinema, just capeshit, spaceshit, swordshit and autotune despite the incredible tools left to mileniials and zoomers, look no further. There has been no real innovation since the 19990s either. Millennials themselves seem to be aware of this, as youths there was a great deal of squawking from them about only working as 'creative's. While they had impaired intelligence they seem to have had self awareness that their complete failure to be able to produce anything new that built on the preceding generations would call their bluff on faking it. In fact the fake it to make it seems to define the milennial approch. Lights are on, no intelligence is home. As regards zoomers...well 14 IQ point difference between teh average GenX and average Zoomer a generation that worship an actual moron like Gretta...but wait the children of zoomers will have difficulty operating simple machines or caring for themselves and be completely incapable of maintaining advanced civilisation. John B Calhoun saw it all.
so much boomer seethe
Yes. It is not mine braine that is smler it is them
>innovation
>Calhoun
You are a waste of oxygen
You could say that the Flynn Effect is down to our progress as a species. So why, as we are still evolving, is our IQ now dropping? The data shows that from the 1970’s onwards, our intelligence has started falling.
In one study, data was used from compulsory IQ tests given to young Norwegian military servicemen between 1970 and 2009. Over 730,000 results were collected. The results suggested that each generation dropped an average of 7 IQ points.
https://www.researchgate.net/publication/338633042_THE_REVERSAL_OF_THE_FLYNN_EFFECT_2020
For years indicators of cognitive abilities and academic competencies suggested that humans’ ability to effective cope with their environment is improving (dubbed the Flynn effect). Recent evidence suggests that this trend may be turning. This study explores data obtained from the Program for International Student Assessment for an intentional sample of 9 countries over the last 6 years and suggests that indeed there is evidence of substantial decrease in students competencies and literacy in Language (writing) and Math beyond possible economical, and national factors. The relevance of the results to education and its potential implications are discussed.
Note that this process of decline in intelligence (it is not limited to decline in language or mathematical) predates the internet. Millennials are definitely stupid but not immediately noticeably so. Zoomers are actually borderline moronic and their children will be moronic. Much of the effected pretension of millennials is in fact an attempt by them to camouflage their reduced intelligence so they are not penalised in social status. Fascinatingly enough they also have a predilection for cheating for example rehearsing IQ tests. Zoomers....the average zoomeris mentally challenged tryingt o pick out clothes to wear appropriate for the weather outside. The lower end of zoomer intelligence cannot even begin to tell the difference between facts and advertising. Did Kayne West really get described as a musical genius by a generation? Yes he did.
Seems like bullshit and no I did not read your source.
>Seems like bullshit and no I did not read your source.
There you go, there is a fairly average and representative example of the decline in intelligence in zoomers and millennials. You can be absolutely certain that this subject does not even realise he is mentally deficient either but believes himself just as capable or more capable than someone of high intelligence.
Oh yeah I'm moronic but im not so moronic that im gonna waste my time reading your source. I mean in that time I could frick your mother twice. I have priorities man.
>Oh yeah I'm moronic but im not so moronic that im gonna waste my time reading your source. I mean in that time I could frick your mother twice. I have priorities man.
No im also not gonna watch your clip from idiocracy mate. that movie fricking sucked btw. Go back to r/atheism so you can further jack off your own intelligence despite you still working at mcdonalds in your 40s lol
Yes fricking boomer c**t m8 probably one of the university book types seething
>Edumacation bad
>Wtf, why isn't America number one in the world anymore
You are the reason America isn't great, fyi
>responds to a clearly bait post
Man maybe you're the moronic one here. Have you ever seen someone online say the phrase "university book types?. No you haven't.
>I was only pretending to be moronic
I didn't make that post moron. Now you're acting even more moronic.
Issue with these kinds of videos is that he asks mostly women.
It is reddit and shit like that yeah
> Much of the effected pretension of millennials is in fact an attempt by them to camouflage their reduced intelligence so they are not penalised in social status. Fascinatingly enough they also have a predilection for cheating for example rehearsing IQ tests.
This is because millennials got min-maxed into crystallized intelligence by their educational system and no child left behind and crap. (Memory, Math, and Recollection).
They prefer to memorize answers and copy paste articles about the reverse Flynn effect because it’s all they are good at.
Fluid Intelligence (Pattern recognition, Problem Solving) is basically non existent in the education system.
But it is existent in video games.
However Zoomers are still stuck on the currently broken education system.
So I think Zoomers will get an appreciable but small bump in pattern recognition and problem solving.
But still be just a bad as millennials, because if they don’t min-max crystallized intelligence they won’t make it through the education system.
Again, skill issue.
The reversal of the Flynn effect is why GenX actually hates everyone. Everyone older then them tends to be stupider and ever one younger tends to be stupider. Not just that but they are demographically smaller in number. It is unsurprising that ideocracy resonates with them.
If they want me to join the army they have to let me have my medical weed. Otherwise with access to that many firearms I'm liable to blow my own brains out. This is the world they created. It's not our fault we were born into it.
I know who is stupid brah and it is not me is it just want a big gun you know with good power
this is like been in school again to many fricking words
if you weren't 4-F yourself you'd probably understand that this just means that the only people wanting to join the military are fricking morons and rejects. It's not a problem with "zoomers" and it's not a problem with Americans either, it's a problem with public perception of the military. Also: patriotism is at like an all-time low since the middle of fricking Vietnam.
t. political scientist
>t. zoomer political scientist
incorrect, zoomer
also get off my lawn.
Did you go to the political science sho[p to become a political scientist or are you self taught from an online ivy league youniversity like /misc/ or reddit?
I went to one of them big city univur-cities like all them fancy talk folks on the telebision, Buford.
I laugh when women say the word brush. I can't help it. I pissed myself onetime. I am not retrarded. They have tested me with the coloured balls.
>t.zoomer also incel
a snapshot of the worst of this generation (on an intellectual level)
Proving what we always knew? Zoomers were a mistake.
Anyone have tips on getting a waiver for stuff? I had allergies as a teen but they’re gone now but they’re on my record.
My neighbor is a recruiter and he said they have to cook the books for essentially every single recruit they get. This includes things like having kids sign the papers and immediately go to military fat camp, or spending time with kids after hours to teach them to read. His stories are fricking wild.
imagine being an army barber and getting to cut off those zoomie perms all day every day.
The reason 30th has suicide watch
>If only you knew how bad recruitment numbers really are...
I feel like the Biden regime is purposefully gimping the US in every way possible. I'm trying to join the Army right now and MEPs went through my whole life to find that when I was 6 I apparently had my adenoids to help with a sleep apnea I dont even remember. I'm 22. They refuse to move me forward until I get those records released and Darnall is dragging their fricking ass getting that shit together.
I've wanted to join since i was 4. I saw my mom and dad go off to war and I wanted to join them back in '04. 18 years later and my country is doing every possible thing to prevent me from joining as they're falling behind recruitment quotas and drop out rates are increasing.
