Patrick:
Went back to the Marine Corps recruitment office yesterday. This time I am not letting them tell me no. Fuck that shit.
Radical AC:
Why the marines over other branches? From everything I hear it is a much harder service, and the pay/benefits/promotion potential is lower. My dad was a marine during Vietnam. He didn't go to Vietnam, though. They gave him a top secret clearance, taught him spanish, and he listened to the Reds communications at Gitmo. This was before they ever had the prison. Mostly he did correspondence courses and played D&D.
ackblom12:
Yeah, the Marines are basically the branch of the military that people join because they want to be career Marines. They don't really have to try and convince people to join because the people they want are Marine zealots already.

Well, it's almost impossible for me to gain weight, but I've quit smoking a couple times and it always ends up in me not sleeping for a week or two before I cave in and smoke again.
I had really bad insomnia in highschool but it magically went away when I started smoking around age 17/18.
The fear of not being able to sleep keeps me smoking to this day. Well, that, and the crippling addiction. Obviously.
Radical AC:
I smoke hookah all the time. (I'm smoking our hookah right now) But, never got into cigarettes. Weight gain is a different thing for me. I'm 6'1'' and have weighed 150lbs since I was 16. In the healthy BMI range. I'm also a type 1 diabetic and find it impossible to gain weight. I still have that skinny indie kid metabolism, in addition. True muscle mass has always been an issue for me, even though I am a machinist and get a lot of physical exercise.
I've also had bouts with insomnia. I recently bought a melatonin supplement from the local co-op. I am raving about this stuff! I take one tablet before I go to bed and I am out in 10 minutes max. It's a neurohormone that regulates your circadian rhythm.
