After 3 months of studying for a promotional test, I can finally have my life back. I didn't do as good as I wanted nor as good as I should gave but oh well. Oh well, you can only learn by the mistakes you made and live another day.

Anyways...if any of yall ever stop in houston hit me up. I'm not scared to meet new people, drink some whiskey, and smoke a cigar. Good night and glad to have my freedom back.

Well... if it's any consolation, you studied... I never do. 🤦

I always pass, but I have yet to get promoted, so... here's my sign. [frypan]

After basic training, went to tech school to learn about ejection seats. Did very good in the classes.

Got to my first assignment. They said, ok, forget everything you learned in tech school... this is how we really do it.

Same happened with me, went to a school and learned my mos, went to c school they said forget. All about a school, went to my mos, they said forget everything from a and c school.

That's what sucks about our promotional test. It's not how well you know that job, it's how well you memories books. The spot tested for hell I can do that all day long, better then probably 90% in that spot and better then 99% of those tested today...oh well at least I can relax this weekend.

School and studying SUCKS if your over 30....

I spent mucho years in college and switched majors

After I got my B.S. in Business....

Thank God I did, because nobody gets a job

WITH AN M.F.A. DEGREE in Ceramics/ Sculpture

Unless you graduated from Alfred ,N.Y. and the "Alfred Mafia" as it is nationally known, really pulls strings for you.

I never want to go back To school...

F#CK STUDYING...

I don't begrudge those who do well on tests. Some seem to be good test takers but the majority of those who do well likely put in a lot of effort.

Congrats on being done and showing yourself you are still able to learn something new.

Sorry to hear it didn't translate practically.
