The shortest month is here. Time to start thinking about taxes if you are an American. Don't forget, we have a Drunken AMA coming up on 2/3/23 (that is this Friday night!) with at least some of our moderation team.

Reminder: New monthly winner awards are Community Award for 1st place, Reddit Gold for second place and Reddit Silver for third place. All three may also have custom user flair if they like.

Your Story of the Month for January is "I can absolutely refuse a NJP and I will SSGT" by /u/nospamkhanman. I don't care what job you have people, know your legal and employment rights. Congratulations. You will get gilded and may have custom flair if you like - contact the moderation team.

Our Runner-Up for January is "Join the Navy, see the world." I did, but this part wasn't in the brochure. by /u/jdthejerk. Fucking hell dude - having my foot crushed and destroying my career was bad, so I can sympathize a bit. I hope you got the VA disability you are entitled to. You will get gilded and may have custom flair if you like - contact the moderation team.

Our Honorable Mention for January is "DND" by /u/This-Construction-45. Dungeons and Dragons is why I grew up reading as a kid. Good stuff. I think it should part of Basic training in the military: "When you have downtime, there is always a game at your local base!" You will get gilded and may have custom flair if you like - contact the moderation team.

Everyone stay safe and we will see you next month.

Congratulations to our winners!

January 2023 Winner "I can absolutely refuse a NJP and I will SSGT" by /u/nospamkhanman.

Q: How are winners chosen?

A: We look at upvotes, comment history, community awards/reddit awards and throw in a bit of the "arbitrary mods" rule. It isn't completely scientific, but it is close.
