Reckless: I ride a motorcycle without a helmet.
Whiny: Either I am making legitimate complaints about work rules or I am just exhausted from 50 hours of duty in four days
Rude: No. Sarcastic? Me? NEVER!
Cant keep my pants on: If I got more nights with my pants off, I wouldn't need quite so much booze.
By definition, one should not be an ATP if he is not of "good moral character." That is probably why one must be 23 years old to get an ATP.
Maybe the age should be raised to 30.
In fairness, when I was 23, I too had an appithany about a lack of moderation. But now, twenty years later, your enlightenment sounds a bit like my mother. Just because you, sir, have seen the error of your non-moderate ways, please don't assume I, or those I work with, engage in your extremes.
