Re: Alternative route to RIP
This is classic. I come in tonight to this fucking shit. Now, the citizenship thing is accelerated once you are IN THE MILITARY. Doesn't apply to DEPs or trainees. 160 pu's is complete fucking rubbish. I would let a SEAL grade an ARMY PHYSICAL FITNESS TEST when I make my mother exit a fucking aircr...
