 ===== Introduction ===== ===== Introduction =====
 The **Job Corps Saga** is the most mysterious saga of Boglim History, as little has been documented of Josh's brief time at Boxelder Job Corps, and the little that has survived isn't of the best quality. This saga spans the entirety of Josh's time at Job Corps and the aftermath that proceeded it, from July 20, 2011 to June/July of 2012. The Job Corps saga is an important chapter in KingCobraJFS lore because it was a period marked by significant personal growth and turmoil for Josh. It was his first real steps into independence, living away from home to learn a trade and move toward a better future. It also brought key events that shaped his personal life, such as his first real-life relationship with Stephanie and his dealings with bullying, paranormal experiences, and eventual expulsion due to drug use. The **Job Corps Saga** is the most mysterious saga of Boglim History, as little has been documented of Josh's brief time at Boxelder Job Corps, and the little that has survived isn't of the best quality.

-While there was a zero-tolerance policy for bullying at Job Corps, it didn't come across as very effective. On one occasion Josh was forced to [[sagas:cobra's magic|dream walk]] into another person's dreams while asleep and give them nightmares. On another occasion, Josh would be choked out by an angry student. In fairness, Josh probably shouldn't have said "Why don't you pick on someone your own size?" and then turn away to have a cigarette break. \\+While there was a zero-tolerance policy for bullying at Job Corps, it didn't come across as very effective.

 During this time, Josh would also be mildly sexually harassed by a fellow male student, who smacked a boner Josh got after seeing an attractive woman at paintball. The same male student asked to see his Cobra Jr. on one occasion. \\ During this time, Josh would also be mildly sexually harassed by a fellow male student, who smacked a boner Josh got after seeing an attractive woman at paintball.

 Josh would also become the butt of a joke when it became known that he fucked a grapefruit in the night and attempted to hide the evidence. He claims he was able to laugh this one off eventually, but it's difficult to determine when - or if - this was the case. Josh would also become the butt of a joke when it became known that he fucked a grapefruit in the night and attempted to hide the evidence.

 This saga would give Josh another defining character trait central to the Boglim identity: Being a stoner. Josh would experiment with various ways of getting high, including paint fumes, crushed up morphine pills while snorted, and allegedly jailhouse acid out of toothpaste and an orange, which he would smoke and eat. His main vice he would pick up, however, would be cannabis. At some point, Josh would be caught partaking in the devil's lettuce by a Jacket Leader; The same one that would intervene in a suicide attempt where Josh would attempt to strangle himself with a broken guitar string. Josh claims that this Jacket Leader would partake in smoking weed and bragging about it as well, although this claim has never been substantiated.  This saga would give Josh another defining character trait central to the Boglim identity: Being a stoner.

-Following this bust, Job Corps would escort Josh off campus in summer of 2012 for smoking marijuana and send him to a homeless shelter, where Josh would spend 4 days before catching a bus back to Casper. Clint would be enraged with Job Corps, as they had not told him of the events that had transpired, and also at Josh for taking up cannabis as a pastime. He would go on to ask Josh if he was a druggie, now that he smoked weed. Back home in Casper, Clint would give Josh 2 weeks to find a job, or he'd risk another Punishment Haircut, alongside more home rules intending to keep Josh on the straight and narrow. This would mark the end of the Job Corps Saga, and segue into [[sagas:the Wendy's Saga]].+Following this bust, Job Corps would escort Josh off campus in summer of 2012 for smoking marijuana and send him to a homeless shelter, where Josh would spend 4 days before catching a bus back to Casper.

-==== Significance ====+===== Significance =====
  
 The Job Corps saga is remembered for its intense ups and downs and the important groundwork it laid for Josh’s never-ending quest for independence and self-improvement. It also shows early signs of Josh's natural ability to ruin his own potential by sheer ineptitude, a trait that would repeat itself many times in the years to come. At this stage, Josh would be at a record low - No income, no freedom, no independence, and the shadow of Clint towering over him. But a true low makes the next high even higher, as Josh would soon be bound for brighter futures once more. The Job Corps saga is remembered for its intense ups and downs and the important groundwork it laid for Josh’s never-ending quest for independence and self-improvement.

 +  * As much of Josh's time at Job Corps cannot be corroborated, it is difficult to discern how much of his stories are true.
