First of all, where is my sammich rerun. Secondly, are you confused? Delusional? Should I refresh your brain about what I posted? The ONLY post I made, prior to your 1 cents' worth of commentary, was this--oh and I quote...
"My son (in boot camp now) made his selections as follows: MM, EM, ET. They rated him ET. We were told his scores were super high, but now that I am learning more, I see that yah, they were definitely high! He is pretty humble about that stuff though, not putting a lot of stock in standardized testing, so I also wonder if that played any part of the decision, a smart guy who doesn't care how smart he is... He really did want MM, and was so excited when he learned about the ELT option (I think in his 2nd or 3rd week of boot camp). Whatever system the Navy uses, it will forever remain a mystery... Why bother trying to figure out something you have no control over. The government owns you now, and they will make all decisions for you for the next 6 years and will have influence on them for another 2 beyond that."
So, tell me, OH GREAT ONE...
1) what statement did I make about the nuke school?
2) can you read? My son is not in nuke school. He is in boot camp.
3) I did have a question. My question was "I wonder if that played any part in the decision" and I was seeking answers and opinions on that.
4) I will now try to remember to call you Sir.
5) I didn't say the recruiter told the truth, nor that I believed him. FACT: I said what we were told. FACT: I have seen other scores that have been regarded as high, and comparatively my son's were higher.
6) Who asked you your quals. Distinguishing your "superiority" just makes new users like me feel dismissed, and unworthy of interaction. I don't feel that I am inferior, or that I am superior. I have the same rights, hopes, and dreams that many newcomers here have.
7) I declared with transparent authenticity, that I know NOTHING about this whole Navy thing, or even the military. I openly and with integrity intact, admitted that I ONLY know what I have experienced. I didn't even suggest that my experienced reality was similar to or consistent with anyone else's reality or what they will or have experienced... so um, basically, neener neener neener.

I will offer my opinion as often as I like. I am sort of badass that way, and I am super tall, which makes me sort of like an Amazon woman from the moon.
9) I never stated, suggested, implied, or though that I have qualification to answer anyone's Nuke, Navy, or military questions, and I have refrained from doing so because of that.
And finally, as if that wasn't enough, here are my closing questions/comments/opinions....
1) Thank you for volunteering to serve our country. I am humbled and grateful.
2) I am officially resigning from adulthood. Decisions will be made using the eenie-meenie-miney-moe method, and arguments will be settled by sticking out my tongue.
Now, in the words of Jim Rome... "Reaction?"
