If your parents sign the release form saying the government now owns you. :p Don't get yourself hurt though. My girlfriends dad knows two people who broke a bone while on there home visit and got sued for "destruction of government property"... And that's no joke. I was about 2 days from signing my papers when I had my ACL injury now I can't join until next summer...

yea i know the thackers. do you race ssqsa? i ran b last season. have you heard about bartow? they have changed it around a lot.

[motofreak2772]

Im riding there tomorrow.
Yeah I raced C class last year. You probably dont know me lol. But Ill be on top one of these days, hopefully sooner than later.
I used to be pretty good in the Blaster class though.
Yeah Ive seen you around, your the only ones with oange bikes.

[gcart2]

yea we tried to stick out. my bro ran 32 and i was 33. u run any dade city? i got a couple sponsored cup races in (got spanked but fun).

i jumped right into it in b class on a 400ex lol. that was only two seasons ago.

my brother ran (still does) c class.

we have kinda been takin a break from racing though. hes got a baby on the way and i am unemployed. sucks.

[motofreak2772]

yeah, unfortunatley I do race Dade... Im not too worried about the season, just trying to get ready for SSQSA, im still not sure what class im racing. We just redid my bike so we will have to see how I match up.
You should come out to Bartow tomorrow. The track is pretty fun. They are definatley improving, I just hope they keep it watered good.

[gcart2]

i still cant make that table step down in the north west corner. i got every jump down except that one. i gave up on it.

The youngest you can be is 17 with a signing from your parents.

[03pete]

17 with parent consent. I know people graduating early in high school to join the Marines.

That's waiverable; I was a drill sergeant from 1999-2002 and had tons of trainee's with asthma.

Some recruiters wouldn't even talk to me after I told them I had it. I was also told to take this test, I forget what it was called and it told you if you still had it or not. Not sure but I got lied to and fed bs by most recruiters.:ermm:

That happens, also if you still wanted to join and catch a recruiter rolling a doughnut (not put anyone in for that particular month) then they'd find a waiver for damn near anything!

I do not envy recruiters at all. I volunteered to be a drill sergeant so I wouldn't have to be a recruiter.

I work for the government and unlike some Americans (not all); I still have a job during these tough times. Neither my benefits nor my pay have been cut.

I will also be eligible for retirement at age 39.

Not all government jobs are bad and not everybody is willing to put up with what I have put up with for the past 19 years.

2 c-sections = $50
3 years of orthodontic braces = free
19 years of free medical care for my whole family

More than 4 years of the past 19 away from my family.....
