    I auxiliary pioneered for a few months, then regular pioneered. If you think they are telling you the whole truth, there is nothing else better.

    Then you find out.

    I've vacation pioneered, temporary pioneered, auxiliary pioneered, regular pioneered, special pioneered, and served time in Brooklyn. What a big fat waste of time it all was.

    I PI'd for a year to go to the PI school.

    The promised "joy" was absent from everyone else who PI'd.

    It was pure misery and I became imbittered.

    If that's joy, I'd rather be sad.

    I did 7 years full time service, pioneered back in the 1000 hours a year days. Our Secretary made you write a reason on the report card for any month you got less then 90 hours (which actually is 1080 hours per month) I enjoyed some of it, but when I compare myself with my new peers I am about 10 years behind them all emotionally and finanically.
