| 21 Apr 2007 | Anonymous(Locke) | I see we are lol. She's 23 now, and has finally reached a 3rd grade literacy level awww. Well it looks like she has deleted her gallery, too bad, there were some good time in there. Hey piggy, great way to ruin fun lmfao!
L.M: It's good to see you are doing well. How much longer are you in the service? You know, I just turned 23 myself. I wonder when I, too, shall reach that coveted 3rd grade level? Now, now, let's not call her names. She's continuing the fun by posting here, anyway.
I have a couple more years in the service according to my contract. To anyone reading this, DO NOT ENLIST UNLESS YOU WANT TO SERVE. You see, you get these morons who think that, by enlisting, things will be easier. For example, they do it because they won't have to pay for medical care, dental, housing, and food. I heard someone say that we "make out like bandits" once we factor in that all that stuff is paid for. No no no no no no no, it comes straight from your pay. When all is said and done, unless you're an officer or higher enlisted (or married, you make more money to take care of your family), you make less than minimum wage. They look up how much they'll make as a Pvt. The average service member is an 18 year old douche bag who never worked a day in his life and just graduated from high school. So he's like, "$1200 a month? Sweet!" Maybe he has to pay for his cell phone, and he's thinking he's going to get a car, and with $1200 a month, he can totally afford payments, including insurance! Awesome! But wait, you gotta pay for your medical, dental, your BAS (Battalion Aid Station, which is like a clinic), your chow hall, your barracks, your taxes, and for your first year your GI Bill (yeah, you have to pay into that). So, when that's all said and done, Pvt Jones is left with $600 a month. Now Pvt Jones has to pay for that car payment, which is about $200. And his insurance, which is another $100 a month (at least, for a male new driver it's around $150-$200 a month). So now he has $300. And he's gotta pay for that cell phone, which at a minimum is $50. $250, why you're rolling in the dough, Pvt Jones! Don't forget rising gas prices! But wait, there's more! For SOME REASON, there are a lot of pay problems that first year, so perhaps Pvt Jones got shorted $200 this month (yes, that happens regularly, it just happened to two PFC's this month that I know of).
Me, I went to college for 5 years (started at 16). I have a degree. I'd be making $25 an hour working 4-day work weeks (3-day weekends!) if I didn't enlist. And because I went to school for 5 years, I have bills to pay. Plus my car, insurance, phone. Some people ask why I didn't become an office, since I already have a degree (officers must have a degree), and I tell them that I didn't want to work behind a desk (ironically, that's what I do now, but they can move me...whereas if I were an officer, my first and foremost concern is paperwork). I tell them that I left a lucrative job sitting behind a desk because I hate desk work.
You just have to want to do it, and there's plenty more important than money. PLENTY. | |

| 21 Jul 2007 | Elrin | hi miss mitchell! it’s me, Elrin the most polemic visitor in commenting in elfwood... i wait for the day in wich people will answer me in the same way Anonimous did with you... like "when will you login here, i’ll see your mistakes". but, we want only that artist improve themselves. do you agree? i like very much the fat Sailor... it’s wonderful and ironic! why people think we need skinny models to see... (and, for readers, i weight 55 kilos). there should be more artist like you!  L. Mitchell replies: "Thanks! People are beautiful in all sizes, but I figure enough people draw the thin size, so someone’s gotta pick up the slack " | |
| 18 Aug 2007 | Anonymous(Locke) | What medical situation? As for your guy coming home, that’s good news. When he gets back will you be able to see him? I would guess so unless you’re stationed in some other country? Or are you like my cousin where as he lives in an apartment off base, and drives to work to do 12 hour shifts?  L. Mitchell replies: "The last time I tried replying to this, Elfwood was down or something. Anyway, the medical situation I’d rather tell you via email. Strawberryrid****@gmail.com
For the rest of your questions, we live off base. Your cousin has a crappy job, which is why he works in 12 hours shifts. There’s good and bad to that. Usually, it’s 12 on, 12 off, 12 on, 24 off, so you end up getting more time off in the long run, but because you’re there for 12 hours anyway, it still sucks. " | |
| 30 Nov 2007 | Anonymous | God u suk! My god, kreep, and i cant belive YOU comment on others sayin that they suck when ur worse then them! friken low-life!  L. Mitchell replies: "Oh, okay, I see what happened. You were upset or offended by my comments, so you felt it necessary to leave this pointless one. Did you ever notice that, while I don’t particularly like the person’s art, I bother to comment on all their pictures and give constructive criticism? Instead, you just come to my front page, ANONYMOUSLY posting that you’re mad that I posted non-praise comments on someone’s page...and you’re callin’ me the low-life?" | |
