damn man, im sorry to hear that. And i remember when you took the ASVAB back in the day lol, good times, good times. best of luck to you
For all the times you've said "Nudes or gtfo" it looks like you're the one left with GTFO!!!!
Just kidding Steve! I agree that the only way to look is forward, and that knowing you, you'll do well no matter what you pursue. And don't think of it as farewell.. think of it as a slight sabbatical.Good luck sir!
Fuck stance. Stance is for kids in skinny jeans with Justin Beiber haircuts. You don't need stance when you got swagger.
True, join the Airforce. Boot camp is almost as hard as band campOriginally Posted by quickdodgeŽ
yea,id go marines or airforce.Originally Posted by Echonova
Nah, my brother was in the Marines. They are good for killing; don't really teach you a lot of job skills though. While Air force is mostly technical, that you can carry into commercial aviation and get PAID!!!!Originally Posted by HypnoToad

I deal with this on a daily basis, and to be 100% honest with you, this is why you have so many awol's and deserters...because they join the service for all the wrong reasons.
So before you sign in at meps....and meps sucks so much balls by the way...it's all a hurry up and wait game....sit down and really think about it...you are about to sign up for a commitment, this is a voluntary army....so if you sign and later run, you will be prosecuted.
Something I tell alot of future soldiers is, nothing in the Army or any branch of service is written in stone...things can change all the time with or without warning, because you are a worker bee, and you do as told.
if you have any doubts, don't sign. If you think you are a hardass and have somekind of attitude going in....you will be in for a rude awakening because your life will be miserable in the military.
if you said you scored a 90+ on your first asvab, and you want to do intel, because from the sounds of it...don't seem like you want to be the fighting type....talk to the Air Force and Navy recruiters when you are at Meps, look at all your options....I will tell you this now though, basic training for both AF and Navy are considerably easier and shorter than Army and Marine basic training....enlisted life for AF and Navy is also better than Army and Marines....I'm not saying you sit around and eat coffee and donuts all day, but your overall living conditions will be much nicer than Army/Marines.
Goto meps, take your asvab, do your physical, and talk to the army, navy, and air force recruiters, you do not have to sign anything unless you want too. It's perfectly normal to go there and leave and come back some other time to swear in, Don't be enticed by bonuses....you are taxed 28% on them, and that should not be a weighing factor of joining any branch...
there are a few other guys on this site that are in the military or are prior service, I'd listen to them, but everyone else who says that their dad or brother or cousin is all hersay...they haven't been there or done it...and you will also learn that "military brats" act like they know it all, but actually know nothing at all

Because I've yet to hear about such a high enlistment bonus, and it's not on any of the military websites offering that much.
and you do not get half of your enlistment bonus until you complete basic training and successfully finish your ait training the first go around and become mos qualified, and generally then once you reach your unit of assignment it'll take anywhere from 30-90days...so you do not get it right after basic
So I'd like to know how you are getting paid more than ANY re-enlistment bonus or any high demand mos's with the extra bonuses tacked on....I did the math, any even with all the highest extra incentive bonuses you do not even touch the 60k region.
so please, do tell.

First and foremost, how do you know about ANY military training if it is hard or not? Because someone told you? So you never experienced it for yourself first hand? No? then shut up, you have no idea about any of it.
Marines, all start as a fighting soldier first and foremost....they are all trained as an infantryman first and then go onto learn a specific MOS, now if your brother chose to be only an infantryman then it's pretty obvious he would not be getting any other real world training besides clearing rooms, and squad tactics. Marines have plenty of other jobs! I have MANY buddies who are aircraft maint, paralegal's, and infantryman's.....
Air Force is not mainly technical, for some odd reason everyone thinks if you join the air force you fly or sit behind a computer...how many planes do you actually think the AF has? they have plenty of non technical jobs that are important from loading armaments to the planes, to fueling them, to wiping down the cockpit....those are not technical by any means.....a transport plane deck man is not technical but very important....So please tell me, how someone who loads armaments onto jets can take that into the commercial aviation and get paid? Only job that can get you paid in commercial aviation is fuel, mechanic, and pilot...that is all.
Reading all your post in this thread just make me cringe on just how misinformed you are and how you pass it along like you know it so well....
I don't give a fuck who you know, where they been, or what they said....YOU do not know, YOU have no been there, so YOU have nothing but what you heard thru the grapevine.
If AZNTraitor were in the army I think he'd be Major Ownage....

and come on now Mark....I just really hate it when people put out wrong information, especially when it comes to the military
^^^ Reps to you sir for quoting the truth about military services . I am in the very same boat as the poster . And have also been seriously considering joining . And agree with said statement above . You have to have a really good reason deep in yourself to join the armed forces . Not just for the money but can be for alot of different reasons . Job training , money for colloege , respect , sense of pride , ect .Originally Posted by AznTraitor

If anyone is serious about joining any of our armed services from border patrol to coast guard, to the military....all the information you ever need is out there...all you have to do is look, and talk to people! You can talk to recruiters because though they can sugar coat some things, they are the people who process your initial paperwork, but there are many of other soldiers who can answer your questions...I know myself, and quite a few other IA members who have served can answer your questions, but before asking....do a little footwork first and find the answers for yourself, because that's an adult should do anyways.
everyone needs to get out of the mindset that everyone in the marines is a killer, everyone in the air force flies an fighter, everyone in the navy is gay, and everyone in the army is a bullet catcher....

USC's football team hasn't lost a home game since Jack Bauer killed a team of terrorists at the L.A. Coliseum. This has nothing to do with USC's football team; visiting teams are just afraid that Jack Bauer is still there.
