Thanks for the info Lee I'll let his family know ASAP. What's the penalty for AWOL I heard that it's not as bad as it was say 20-30 years ago. |

Obviously the penalty will vary on a case by case basis but could range from a "bad conduct" discharge or "other than honorable" discharge. I doubt that the military would incarcerate your friend in a place like Leavenworth(a military prison in Kansas) or other facility but it's possible. My understanding is Leavenworth is for those in the military convicted of rape, murder, assault(including striking a superior officer), drug smuggling and/or distribution, kidnapping and other violent crimes. My guess is your friend will receive a bad conduct or OTH(other than honorable) discharge, may be assessed some kind of fine he will be liable to pay and probation. |

Again thanks for the information Lee and again I'll let his family know ASAP. I just hope he found his discharge papers and got his medical records that say he isn't fit for duty. |

Tom, the U.S. military is still a large bureaucracy and many of the military officials he will likely be dealing with will have that mentality which means the burden of proving he isn't AWOL will be, in their eyes, ENTIRELY on him. Tell your friend not to count on much assistance from the military. The burden of proof will be on him which is why it is absolutely important he has his paperwork together and in order. |

I'm pretty sure he does have it. So he *should* be fine, he also wants to get an attorney so they don't try doing this again and I don't blame him. |

It means the military believes your friend is guilty of committing a violation of the UCMJ, the Uniform Code Of Military Justice. I would consider this bad news: it means the military intends to take your friend to court and prosecute him. ![]() Here's more info about court martials: http://usmilitary.about.com/od/justicelawlegislation/l/aacmartial1.htm |

Akherousia hasn't been online in a while, and any other bronies on the forum are either casual fans (like me) or closet cases. Gojiramatthew: not sure if serious. He could be a fan or he could just be getting an earful from his friends every day. As for myself, I'll talk about the show if it's brought up, but otherwise I try not to flood the place with the subject. Non-fans tend to hate you for that. Edited by NWV, Oct 29 2011, 11:33 AM.

I watched a couple of episodes last week, and I enjoyed it. I think the ponies are cute. :B I don't think I'll ever consider myself a brony though. At least not as bad as some of them I've seen. There's a seventy-page thread on TK devoted to the show. There's absolutely nothing wrong with that, I just don't see myself getting that much into it.

The only friend who has watched an episode so far isn't a member on this forum, he said he'll watch the rest since the series doesn't seem to be total crap. I would say I'm a fan, but I am not really interested in joining any Brony forums... as well as that I still prefer Kaiju and horror films.
How bad are some of the bronies on TK?.

Work Related: Wal-mart found a new position for me sadly though I took a $0.20 pay decrease and I will lose some hours but I still will be working a lot because I'm going back to work at Hickory Farms on November 19th. So my plan is to work three days at Wal-mart and three days at Hickory Farms leaving me Saturday as my day of rest. However I was told tonight when I got management apporval at Wal-mart for my new availability that I might not work those three days so I'll just pick up extra hours at Hickory Farms because I'll get my schedule for three weeks. So yeah regardless I'll still be working a lot hopefully. Friend related: I talked to his girlfriend tonight and apparently the military has really no idea why he's even down there. No word on when the court proceedings will take place I would assume tomorrow or no word on how long he'll actually be down in Georgia for. |

Hopefully this problem your friend has with the military can get resolved quickly. I'm glad Wal Mart has decided to keep you on their payroll. I will likely be talking with either a store manager or HR manager at a nearby Lowes store later in November about getting hired by them. I would like to work full time for Lowes but would be interested in working PT for them as long as it's weekends(Saturdays & Sundays) and/or evenings(5 PM to closing) because I'm not going to stop my PT work doing lawn maintenance Mon-Fri...unless Lowes offered me a full time job. |

^Anyone who falls within the age 13-45 Male demographic with a hardcore sweet tooth. (Brownie misspelled by intent) j/k actually, there's some debate as to what constitutes bronyism. The basic idea is that a brony is a male (usually late-teen/young-adult) who is a hardcore fan of the new My Little Pony show (any or all of the show's generations). If you're interested in learning more about the series and it's fans, here are a couple of links to very informative videos by a fan of the general series. He does a retrospective of all the previous generations before sitting down to talk about why this current incarnation of the show is such a success and has so many fans outside its primary demographic. Just to give a clearer idea of what a brony is and why they get so much heat. Generations 1-3 retrospective - http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/teamt/cr/ff/32418-episode-57-my-little-pony-retrospective-part-1 G4 (Current Gen) Retrospective - http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/teamt/cr/ff/32594-episode-58-my-little-pony-retrospective-g4 Edited by NWV, Oct 31 2011, 04:40 PM.

Well it's not as bad as it was a couple of months ago. A lot of them would talk about it in several threads, like the "what made your day" thread, someone would say "the new MLP episode is on!" Then, there were some guys being ******s who always had to make fun of them, and then of course came the back-and-forths. Finally the mods got pissed and told everybody to shut up, basically. A new thread was made, and the whole thing has been contained, pretty much. In other words, if you spoke out against the show, you would pretty much get swarmed, but not outright flamed. The people defending the show weren't as bad as the people who spoke against it. |

I'm not surprised at all by what I read, I don't know if you are aware of what I think of the forum but in case you don't I think TohoKingdom's forum is a terrible place, the rest of the site is excellent but the forum... well, I just think it's terrible because of the flaming and disrespect from a lot of members on there. If you or any other member here likes that forum, I respect that but from what happened to me on that forum years ago and from have seen/read, I can tell you that I'm never going back there until rules on respecting members opinions and no flaming are made.

And the Wal-mart douchbaggery thickens: I almost got fired tonight at work. As many of you know I switched my availability at Wal-mart to only three days a week with the plan of working three days there and three days at Hickory Farms. Well tonight I was told that Wal-mart wasn't going to work around that schedule despite already being signed off on by another manager they told me either switch my availability to full time or get terminated me paniking I switched it to full time with them. Now is that even legal? |

I've pretty much gotten used to it by now. I get into disagreements here and there but I haven't gotten into an outright flame war yet, and I don't see it happening easily. There's some guys I get tired of listening to, but the people I enjoy conversing with are nice guys. Back on topic: I couldn't find a funny pictures thread, so I thought I'd post this here: ![]() And now... ![]() Courtesy of Cimmerian Dragon @ TK I almost choked from laughing so hard when I saw this. If this doesn't lighten your day, you need professional help.
