Title: Oh god I had to share this with you guys Post by: SaltySpitoon on April 22, 2013, 07:11:14 PM As a lot of you are the sort of people that would find this hilarious in the best sense, I just received a letter in the mail stating that if I join the U.S army, I can receive a free movie ticket.
I just wonder what movie it is. Title: Re: Oh god I had to share this with you guys Post by: Luno on April 22, 2013, 07:12:24 PM Hair?

I dunno, what if its a life changing movie? Title: Re: Oh god I had to share this with you guys Post by: JimmiesForBitcoins on April 23, 2013, 12:58:55 AM May we see a scan/picture of this letter? That sounds insane, even by my standards.

I agree, it my country has resorted to elementary school grade coercion tactics, I want to know about it. Pics or it didn't happen.

Title: Re: Oh god I had to share this with you guys Post by: Matthew N. Wright on April 23, 2013, 05:34:15 PM Oke, just gotta blank out the names and addresses and such. Appreciate it! It's worth uploading on IMGUR as well. Title: Re: Oh god I had to share this with you guys Post by: SaltySpitoon on April 23, 2013, 05:48:43 PM Heres the Imgur Link, http://imgur.com/KM9W5Uk,UcAs05v,Ur9dkxo#0
its probably just easier that way, so you can zoom in and out to make sure you can read whatever needs to be read. I am fully aware that the National Guard is not entirely the same as the Army, but the similarities between them during wartime (every 5 years in the U.S) are pretty close. My point is, would you go to Iraq for a movie ticket? Title: Re: Oh god I had to share this with you guys Post by: Matthew N.

Take a better picture of the letter where it states that and you'll have yourself an insanely popular reddit/imgur post on your hands.

Title: Re: Oh god I had to share this with you guys Post by: Matthew N. Wright on April 23, 2013, 06:50:05 PM OP: Do the internet a favor and uploading it to IMGUR's "user submitted" section for upvotes, as well as reddit. This is a slap in the face to anyone already serving in uniform.

This is a slap in the face to anyone already serving in uniform. as much as I find the situation funny, I actually have a deep seeded hatred for reddit and wish to have no affiliation with Imgur's community. It is a useful site for image sharing, but thats about as far as I wish to take it. The point is, that is probably the coolest piece of mail I have ever received. I had a friend who joined the army a year ago, and I'm kind of wondering if he just joined for the movie ticket.

It is a useful site for image sharing, but thats about as far as I wish to take it. Justifiable. Imgur's community is by and large extremely... Pro-Obama, if that says anything. I don't personally know much about Reddit.STORY TIME, tell us why you hate Reddit. I need to know now. Title: Re: Oh god I had to share this with you guys Post by: Matthew N.
