What's another term for PATHETIC?

Pls don't fill your name in.
Awww, you try so HARD. It's kind of "precious". Honest truth, if you make it to an academy, I think you're going to have some issues. You're screaming "lightning rod". We had names for those kinds of classmates.
I have a white leather folder that holds an appointment given to me by your school. I guarantee you that come April 1, it won't be up to you or anyone to influence where I go. Once I take the oath, there's no turning back. I savor doing what naysayers like you say I can't. Semper Paratus.
It's already past April 1st, and your cadre are certainly going to have a huge influence on whether you stay or go when you get off that bus. Plenty of swabs left over the course of last summer when my class was cadre. Then after that you'll have a whole year of being closely monitored by the upper class, and classmates who will either support you or not support you.
Plenty of people receive appointments, fewer receive commissions.

It seems any thread with iceman on it takes an interesting turn, unfortunately.
Ha! No way this kid got into an academy. Just a troll. Reminds me of someone who passed through here a year ago.

Sam, ever have a kid come in who's so sure he walks on air, only to find out his classmates don't like him, he's all about himself and he isn't a shipmate?
Yeah, me too. Tends to be rough on them. Of course, I don't remember many of them graduating.
Rest assured it wont be me. My resolve is undeterred. many have gone through it including you, why can't I? July 1st, look for me-I'll be up to the challenge.
In the meantime, it's back to what's left of senior year and having fun. Swab summer will have to wait.YOLO

To put a stop to your bullying, ask me anything only an appointee would know.
Not worth my time kid.
To all of the good applicants out there though, read through this thread, check out the kind of things Iceman2018 has said, the way he has carried himself and how he has talked to other forum members. Once you've read through that, here's what you should know: People with Iceman2018's attitude, the "I'm most important" disposition.... they typically won't make it through West Point, Annapolis, Air Force, Coast Guard or Kings Point. They spend their first few months alienating their classmates. Their classmates get annoyed, begin to hate them, and eventually ignore them. Once they've burned every bridge with their classmates, they fail as cadets/midshipmen and they leave.
You make it through an academy as a class, working together. You help out your classmates and they help you. You form lasting relationships that endure.
Some people can't figure that out. Some times you can even see it before they walk through the front gates. The thing you can bet on... they'll leave through those same gates LONG before their classmates. And when they get home they'll come up with some excuse "my CAP detachment would put your drill and military discipline to shame." They'll come up with something to help them accept they couldn't do what others did. They'll come up with something so they don't have to admit they were too much of individuals to be part of a unit.
And in the end, the branch of service and the nation as a whole wins, because only the best will make it through, and they'll do so as a team.
One would question what your desires truly are if they posted some of your PMs to members of this forum. I'm sure they won't do that.
Here's what you have done. You called a current cadet/future cadre "pathetic." You called a current 1/c cadet a "BFD" and called him stupid. You've attacked retired members of the Air Force and Marine Corps. You've had some choice things to say to active duty members of the Army. You've had some interesting things to say to parents. And ALL of that is only on a few of the forums here.
If we go back and check out what you've said to other applicants, we can tell a few things. You take advice for granted. You have little respect for current cadets, active duty officers, veterans, retired officers/enlisted and parents.
People here have wasted time on you. I would recommend you not attend the Coast Guard Academy, but from what I've read from others, you're not planning to anyway.
You have an attitude problem that every cadet here has seen from problem swabs who often don't make it.
You can dig your hole deeper, but I'm not sure how much more you could possibly alienate folks on SAF. And the weirdest thing here is.... you're attacking the very people who WOULD be trained by. Future cadre are here. People who know Dr. Collela. Admissions staff are here ALL THE TIME. Not wise at all, in my opinion.
What SHOULD you do? Readjust the attitude, or start planning an excuse for when you don't make it as a cadet. Right now, from what I've seen, I wouldn't bet on you. Maybe you can do it academically, but if you show ANYTHING to cadets or midshipman that you've shown here... well buddy, it's going to be a very long road for you.
