I did, however, find this gem:
"Compounding the problem of military retention is the lure of pay in the civilian sector: median pay for a contract linguist with a Secret clearance comes to $40,000, compared to the base pay of $22,532.40 for an E-4 linguist with over four years of service. The average civilian contract linguist with a Top Secret clearance receives $62,000 per year..."

That's a joke. I made more than that as a Sergeant in a Force Co...
So, why do you think you are somehow better than anyone else? |
You make more than $62,000 base pay? Doubtful. Again, like I said, there are many languages to translate that are much easier than Chinese and pay much lower. Also, there aren't nearly as many translators with the high level of language proficiency. $62k base pay probably isn't too far off. For every native proficient Chinese translator making $100k+ I'm sure there are a dozen Spanish translators making $20k a year and all other languages inbetween.

Hey EEG, do you feel a little nervous treading around the OT when you are a known WRW?
I, personally, am not too worried about it. But if something goes down, we'll do the secret whistle and the rest of the WRW will come to our aid...

You are so full of siht. yeah, every marine can make $200,000 a year. That's why everyone gets out of the marines after one tour and why all the PMCs have all the millions of ex military members.

You fucking filthy LIAR.
I said you were asking about fake university degrees, to which you replied you were working on getting a PhD, a conversion from a Master.

Chinese = the standard language of China (Mandarin) or can also mean the Sino-Tibetan language family. If someone says they speak Chinese, it means they speak Mandarin.

It actually went a lot like this:
Luba: EEG, I'm officially challenging you
EEG: pwnage
Luba: Oh yeah?
EEG: some more pwnage
Das: uber pwnage
Luba: I am rubber, you are glue!
Everyone else: vicious pwnage
Luba: I don't think so
And so on for 30 pages.
