Hello Gentlemen (and Ladies),

So I was watching this fat kid talk about the legend of KaosAngel and it got me thinking,

Long time no see, huh? I guess I've been away. Dunno what to really say.

I'm in the USAF now as a Linguist. Studying one of the Middle Eastern languages I don't know, the USAF decided they rather me stay in the area of the Middle East so they shot-down my request for Chinese/Korean. Anyways, what I miss?

A lot has changed, or has a lot not changed?

PS. I fucking hate PT.

PS2. Being a Linguist in the military is the hardest fucking thing I've done with my life and that's a fuck ton harder than what I did for Aircrew training.

EDIT: I have a TS Clearance so the "bat-shit-crazy Kaos posts" are a 100% no go, I had to fork over my online aliases during my TS interview because one of my smart-ass friends decided to tell the FBI that I was a "popular" online ID. Yes, the FBI interviews all your family and friends and enemies when you are on TS Clearance.

EDIT2: Ask me anything about military life, anything I can say. I've done Aircrew training, currently in beautiful Monterey, and haven't done SERE yet. I'm studying 2 Middle Eastern languages and I get paid a lot to study and PT.

EDIT3: To all the new guys...nice to meet you.

Hell...it's about time.

Oh wow, it's you.

Where's the avatar with the breasts?

And here I thought you were banned. Kaos is back!

This is easily the funniest thing I've read in ages.

I'm not sure when you "left", but I'm not sure if you missed much or not. There was a 3rd Giant Bomb Endurance Run of Chrono Trigger; Whiskey Media exploded and now this site as well as Comic Vine is owned by CBSI; Brad had a breakdown so he left and that's about it.

Dude, I forgot you joined the Air Force. Your job is a hell of a lot better than mine was. And your TS clearance is not in jeopardy because of the shit you post in a video game forum. If that were the case, me and a fuck ton of people would be in trouble.

I don't really know you, but I do seem to remember your avatar and name. Either way, welcome back.

I feel like I should ask a question so, what languages are you studying exactly?

Paid to study languages? Lucky bastard!

Can you ban an idea? Can you ban integrity first? Can you ban excellence in all you do? Can you ban service before self?

The worst part is being drilled for 2 hours because you went to Keio University and have family in the Middle East. Apparently having people you keep in touch with in many places of the world will raise flags.

There's more to it than that, I can't really talk about it.

What I can talk about is Monterey! Weather here sucks.

Tax dollars expense too!

Currently Farsi for about a year, and then Dari. After that I'll be around...can't say.

Lay off the ladies Kaos. Don't fuck this up. Use the discipline that you have learned. You're an officer now. You represent.

No shit.

I also thought you were banned, welcome back dude!

I like how you're studying them yet you just say middle eastern languages

@Animasta said:

America! Generalizing is the way to go! Plus it's Air Force, we work smarter not harder. Easier to say Middle Eastern instead of Farsi and Dari...plus who even knows what those languages are!

So videogames? They let you play any?

I cant remember if you were one of the ones I liked or not. If I liked you then welcome back! If I hated you....

@deathstriker666 said:

Hell yeah! At Lackland for Aircrew stuff I bought myself a 3DS, got a stack of games. Haven't beaten a single one. Got the Alienware once I got stationed at DLI here in Monterey.

Holy shit, I just beat Alan Wake today and god damn that ending sucked. Played a shit-ton of Diablo III, dunno if you guys heard of that. Got myself a sexy little 54 Demon Hunter.

When I was in Afghanistan, we just got a local interpreter to say things in Dari/Pashto/Arabic/whatever. I never realized there were uniformed (commissioned, no less) people doing the same thing.

Probably more reliable than relying on locals, but also way more expensive. I've never seen a linguist in the field.

The way they make it sound is less than 1% of military is linguist. Even rarer is an Aircrew with linguist. It's hard man, DLI. Fail rate is way too high and I'm lucky enough to pass my DLPT in 2 different Middle Eastern languages so if I fail Farsi I'm safe, I hope.

DLI is hard man. It's hard.

No idea who you are, but a shitload of people have (maybe that was just Claude?) talked about you a lot, so you've got to be a cool duder. Welcome back!

WB duder. The only thing you missed is that Brad is leaving.

Here I was, thinking you were living your astronaut/spy-life.

I still remember the crazyness of the weeks before (and after) Gran Turismo's release...

Holy shit I thought you were banned.

What.

I miss not having my car. It's too expensive for me here in Cali and not worth it. The bus system here is only a dollar round trip for military so I passed on buying a car.

Speaking of Gran Turismo, what's the scoop on COD?

That and Vinny spawned a real life baby.

Trust me man, when I decided to post for the first time in 8 months...it was the first time I logged into the site since before I left for the military. For a split second I thought it wouldn't let me post.

Then I posted. Kinda sucks the Chaotic KaosAngel is a no-go. :(

Kaos is the worst troll ever. Don't let my love for him fool you.

Hey, let's define the word troll.

Is it a troll if he hyped up the best selling racing game of this generation? Is it a troll if he loves America? Is it a troll if he wanted to make out with a man in a luchadeer mask?

@ajamafalous: Or started with "so today as I watched this fat kid stuff his face...[etc]"

I'm pretty sure I made up a bunch of crazy shit when people asked where you went... Welcome back!

Severely disappointed this thread didn't start with "Hello gentlemen (and ladies)." What does TS clearance get you access to, and why do you have it, being a linguist?

Fixing that stuff now.

On a serious note, I can't talk about the TS stuff but the "official" description of my job is I supervise transmissions on a plane. Basically I work with radios, that's what I tell everyone who asks what I do. My GF hates that, she says I do more but I can't tell her what I do nor can I tell others.

I don't know you.... Something tells me that might not be such a good thing.

I'm the mods worst nightmare. Was, can't do any of the inane stuff anymore...yes inane. Once I boosted a load of hentai games to the top games on the site. Can't do that anymore. Nope.

Nice to meet you buddy.

@ajamafalous said:

Ah, new title! That's better. Not to inquire too much more, but you supervise plane radio chatter, or you supervise radio chatter from a plane?

Supervise stuff that plays on the radio. Music and stuff. I'm a DJ, yo.

So what's your hot summer jam?

Inside sources say that the Bieber is big this summer, also you might have heard of a song called:

Represent yo. The official song of this thread.

@Claude: All that hair. Gone. :(

I'll take a picture tomorrow of me in my PT gear after PT, I'm bald as...well damn, can't make that joke either. Oh young Kaos, goodnight sweet prince.

Thanks for serving Kaos.

I can't believe I did it man, still look back time to time. Was talking to my girlfriend about it this weekend, she's back on the East Coast. Memorial Day for the first time in my life meant something. On Friday we had the DLI Memorial Day ceremony and I teared up.

The biggest impact lately was having texts from my father saying he's proud of me and saying that today meant something for him instead of BBQ.

Was posting on Memorial Day planned or coincidental?

You really liked Gran Turismo 5, right?
