He DENIED being a drug user or having a police record?否认自己是吸毒者或有犯罪记录? That's got to be my second favorite line in here.那就是我们是我第二次在这里最喜欢的一句话。 Good job England!英格兰好!

Now, to get a Hazmat endorsement or even renew the endorsement you already have (I know for sure in Nevada) you have to have a background check.  But I guess they hire so many, a few are going to slip through the cracks.现在,为了获得核生化事故认可,甚至延长您已经认可(我知道肯定在内华达州),你必须有一个背景调查。但我想他们聘请这么多,有少数人会滑向底层。 They'll probably be saying that when the next incident  happens to be a terrorist instead of a stupid drug addict.他们会说,可能在下次事件恰好是一个愚蠢的,而不是吸毒的恐怖。
