re: #216 Obdicut

Heh. That reminds me of this one tester I had at EA. The first thing he did was say that he’d been in the miltiary, and loved it. I thought ‘cool’ because in general I like ex-military guys, since they like structure, I like structure, and they will actually do what I tell them to. So I asked how long he was in the military and he said ten years. I thought “Awesome” to myself, figuring he was a noncom who’d had some serious responsibility and started sizing him up as a team lead.

I asked him what rank he’d mustered out at and he said E-3.

E-3. Ten years. And he loved it. What the fuck?

Don’t they just kick your ass out at some point if you stay at E-3 for too long?

There must have been a story there, like he got busted down to E3 before he got out.
