A military life has nothing to do with sexism.
Sexism should not happen period.

[reem]

Its a joke, much like the much worse jokes found in military communities, or rest of the world for that matter, not to be blown out of proportion.

Yay ♡Where am I needed most?

Looks like demolitions, sniper, and specialist are open for the 1st squad, and medic, demolitions, breacher, specialist, and support are open for the 2nd squad.

reem said
Oh no... a corpsman would never do that...

Considering you're in 1st squad with me, that brings me great comfort.

[Cath]

What does the specialist specialize in?

Stitchblades said Jokes are only funny if all parties involved find it funny. Js, if someone finds it offensive then do the grown up thing apologize and don't continue arguing the point it will only make things worse.

I don't care about being offended, that ultimately means nothing.
Otherwise it becomes a common cop out simply when someone says something you don't agree with.

I was criticizing it for it being a baseless attack on people due to what chromosomes they were born with.

reem said Alright, apparently I have offended you. I'm sorry. Sexist comments/jokes won't happen. Just note a military life probably isn't for you.

I already know Military life isn't for me, for many reasons.

reem said Its a joke, much like the much worse jokes found in military communities, or rest of the world for that matter, not to be blown out of proportion.

Just cause something worse happens elsewhere doesn't mean another act should be ignored.
Ex: I got mugged on the way home from school, but I shouldn't complain because other people get raped when they do so.

(And before anyone get's worried, no I wasn't actually mugged).

And simply defaulting to "It's a joke" doesn't really help it.
Like my earlier example "All women getting worked up over things" would not simply be seen as ok if I went "But it was a joke".

Sabotage isn't her style, if she is going to kill someone she'd do it.

to expand off of Magnum, I'm assuming a specific skillset like engineering (repair stuff) or scouting/tracking, driving/piloting, birthday cake making/pimp slapping.

I'd expect nothing less from the hunger games champion.

And looking at OP I just realized Swift put that nice touch on people's pics. Could you imagine if we had a full roster? If we all get dossiers we gotta put em in our sigs. Cheers to a hardworking GM!

Soooo, I know little about support guys. Could anyone help me out?

[Gwazi Magnum]

You can be the patty cake champion! :P

I'm so sorry. I hope you didn't spill it on any pets you might have. Or on yourself. Especially if you have to go to work soon. Then you'll have to tell your supervisor that Whiskey made you late. :-(

You'll be the kind of guy that will be there for me when I go to my first AA meeting. No.. that's the wrong support. Somebody else is gonna have to help you on that one.

@ Magnum LOL!
