		[quote="Da_Bian":85d19]well, i dunno about that... but  
 
last week, a 12 year old kid jumped off his school's roof after graduating.... [/quote:85d19] 
 
Just wondering if some of the stories I've heard are true, about the student's suicide rate and such. 
 
As for myself, I'm primarily a Sous Chef at an Italian Rest.  Every other Sun I bartend during the day, and sometimes actually Wait my own tables.  That's always fun, especially when I walk out of the kitchen, chef coat splattered with various red sauces, looking like I just got of surgery, a la MASH, and ask the patrons, "So what can I whack up, I mean whip up for you today?"

Maybe.  Considering the pressure those kids are under, even 6 yr olds, something's got to give, right?  And yes, it's VERY sad what the poor bastards have to go through to get ahead.

 I have 2 MOS's. I went to basic as a Scout and got my 19D, then went to the two week mortar school at Fort Dix, NJ and got my secondary MOS, 11C. 11B is just plain grunt infantry.  biggrin:

Ah yes, you are correct.  It has been a few years.  I shoulda known that though, some of my best friends were in the Mortar Platoon. 
 
Curious that you were able to secure a second MOS.  Maybe it's different for No-Go's (  evil:  ) or Reserve's.   During my time in Active Duty, I'd never heard of or met an individual that held two MOS's simultaneously.  You could request going to AIT for a different one, but had to give up your current MOS.

No, you're right, you can't have two at once. But, when I found out my dad was a mortarman when he was in the service, I wanted to be one too. So, I put in a request to change my platoon, but I needed to goto school first, so I did. So now, I have a primary and secondary MOS.
