The Marines want a few good 12 yo's

Not really, but the crew over at SomethingAwful thought it would be pretty funny to portray.

See it all started when a tech installed MSN on a school computer, and the kids began harassing one of the SA guys listed in the buddies. He wanted to get them to uninstall the program without going to prison, so he figured this was the best way to do that.

A snippet:

Quote:
Staff Sergeant Haymaker: When do you think I could come down and have these kids take some ASVABs?

Miss Barons: I'm sorry, what are those?

Staff Sergeant Haymaker: Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery. It's a test that'll help them pick their MOS and serve the forces of democracy.

Miss Barons: Sir, this is a fourth grade class.

Staff Sergeant Haymaker: I think you're way underestimating your students' abilities and that's tragic.

Miss Barons: Sir, I appreciate your interest, but these kids are learning fourth grade level earth science.

Staff Sergeant Haymaker: I wasn't talking about getting them to join tomorrow, ma'am.

Miss Barons: Oh, excuse me, I misunderstood.

Staff Sergeant Haymaker: No problem, oorah. We test them now, offer them some career options, and let them finish out the school year. Then we give them their signing bonus, or in the case of these kids give it to their parents, and then ship them off to Parris Island for boot.

Some parts had me falling out of my chair. Well, either that, or my inner ear is acting up again. My seatbelt broke last week.

Yut!
