Forum Rules (Everyone Must Read!!!)

1] What you CAN NOT post.

You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this forum to post any material which is:
- abusive
- vulgar
- hateful
- harassing
- personal attacks
- obscene

You also may not:
- post images that are too large (max is 500*500px)
- post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or cited properly.
- post in UPPER CASE, which is considered yelling
- post messages which insult the Armenians, Armenian culture, traditions, etc
- post racist or other intentionally insensitive material that insults or attacks another culture (including Turks)

The Ankap thread is excluded from the strict rules because that place is more relaxed and you can vent and engage in light insults and humor. Notice it's not a blank ticket, but just a place to vent. If you go into the Ankap thread, you enter at your own risk of being clowned on.
What you PROBABLY SHOULD NOT post...
Do not post information that you will regret putting out in public. This site comes up on Google, is cached, and all of that, so be aware of that as you post. Do not ask the staff to go through and delete things that you regret making available on the web for all to see because we will not do it. Think before you post!


2] Use descriptive subject lines & research your post. This means use the SEARCH.

This reduces the chances of double-posting and it also makes it easier for people to see what they do/don't want to read. Using the search function will identify existing threads on the topic so we do not have multiple threads on the same topic.

3] Keep the focus.

Each forum has a focus on a certain topic. Questions outside the scope of a certain forum will either be moved to the appropriate forum, closed, or simply be deleted. Please post your topic in the most appropriate forum. Users that keep doing this will be warned, then banned.

4] Behave as you would in a public location.

This forum is no different than a public place. Behave yourself and act like a decent human being (i.e. be respectful). If you're unable to do so, you're not welcome here and will be made to leave.

5] Respect the authority of moderators/admins.

Public discussions of moderator/admin actions are not allowed on the forum. It is also prohibited to protest moderator actions in titles, avatars, and signatures. If you don't like something that a moderator did, PM or email the moderator and try your best to resolve the problem or difference in private.

6] Promotion of sites or products is not permitted.

Advertisements are not allowed in this venue. No blatant advertising or solicitations of or for business is prohibited.
This includes, but not limited to, personal resumes and links to products or
services with which the poster is affiliated, whether or not a fee is charged
for the product or service. Spamming, in which a user posts the same message repeatedly, is also prohibited.

7] We retain the right to remove any posts and/or Members for any reason, without prior notice.


- PLEASE READ -

Members are welcome to read posts and though we encourage your active participation in the forum, it is not required. If you do participate by posting, however, we expect that on the whole you contribute something to the forum. This means that the bulk of your posts should not be in "fun" threads (e.g. Ankap, Keep & Kill, This or That, etc.). Further, while occasionally it is appropriate to simply voice your agreement or approval, not all of your posts should be of this variety: "LOL Member213!" "I agree."
If it is evident that a member is simply posting for the sake of posting, they will be removed.


8] These Rules & Guidelines may be amended at any time. (last update September 17, 2009)

If you believe an individual is repeatedly breaking the rules, please report to admin/moderator.

    Can I ask why you went into Armor in the first place? What are your duties within your job? Are you a driver or mechanically inclined? If you are a driver and enjoy doing that then I imagine it should be easy for you to obtain a truck license. There are some career paths in that field, especially working for cities or counties that pay well and offer a high degree of job security. If you will be settling in the LA area and interested in this line of work let me know.

        i know someone who works in la city sanitation. pay is good, hours are better, and good job security. no college needed and anyone who is hard working and motivated can get into the mgt track. sometimes i think i went in the wrong field. i sit in an office for 10 hours a day and don't make what a mgr in la city sanitation does.

          If you have the $$$ you can always open up your gym & be a personal trainer or somewhere along those lines.
          If your a Left Handed person like me, you are truly unique.

            Quick question: Do you think you can do 20 years in the Army? If so, you can get out at 38 with a nice pension and still be young enough to start a new career.

              If going back to college is out of the question, I would highly encourage you to get some sort of specialized training and go for a career after your Army thing is over. For some examples, take a look at this ... Optical dispensing and pharmacy technician are just a couple of examples of kinds of jobs that can have decent pay without the need for having gone through a 4 year degree program after highschool.
              this post = teh win.

                Actually, I hear nursing is in huge demand which translates to great pay and jobs where ever you want to live.

                  So basically after 4 years in the Army and at the nothing...

                  A friend of mine who spent 10 years in the Army as medic, got out and could not do anything...he had to go back school and recently he god done with 4 year school and now finally at the age of 35 his doing something worthwhile

                  Until today he cannot get more then few hours of sleep at nights...because of all kinds of drugs they were giving him during the first war with Iraq...and now he hates everything about military, the government, etc


                  Either stay with Army or long years of school

                  Good luck
