Holy shit she posts? Hiii Ally! ^_^

Also, I'm looking to go into a field that ultimately will lead me to a civilian career in robotics.

You act like I never post on IA at all. ; D I do once in awhile. It's not THAT uncommon.

Nah, the way I see it, if I'm going in for what, 4 years? I'm going to damn well do something that I want to do for 4 years, and hopefully make a career out of it in the civilian world.

Don't knock the infantry life until you try it. To the OP, just a little FYI Army UAV's are flown by enlisted people, not officers.

Been in 8 years as Airborne Infantry, minus 3 years as a recruiter. First figure out your goals that you want to achieve during and after your service. Pick a job that will help you down that path. I will say Army has most of the jobs the other branches offer and normally has better promotion rates also.

im not knocking it. every time i train, its with the infantry. medics dont do any good in the field unless we are able to work efficiently with the infantry. every thing they do, i do with an extra bag on my back.... and some of the others carry my extra shit! but yah im just saying that they try to con people into taking jobs that need to be filled at the time instead of letting them get the jobs they want.

Hmm, I am aware of that actually. But, they're mainly scout UAV's....

I'm aiming for this



Doesn't necessarily mean I'll get there, or that I may want to go there say, 6 months in ( I may change my direction of what I want to do ) but so far, I want to pilot one, and try to get it painted like Bullet Bill!

Become an airman since you love aviation.



To be honest I did some research last night on my own about the Air Force. I even talked to a airman through on online chat through their website. I'm going to try to enlist after my son is 6 mths old.

Here you go man. Your future MQ-9 Reaper.

lol that is awesome

[One_Bad_SHO]

I'm working on my WOFT packet. I need more volunteer work. If all goes as planned I'll be piloting these babies one day.

[Psycho]

How about the Salvation Army? I hear those guys are ruthless.

he's missing the teeth!

Bullet Bill had two variations....

The original Bullet Bill had an eye and arm:



A much larger Bullet Bill, called Banzai Bill, had an eye and teeth:



There was never one with fist and mouth together though. Any pics of Bullet Bill, or Banzai Bill, with a fist and mouth are just fan art and not true to Bullet Bill history.

[Stormhammer]

Haha

So wait, there are enlistment bonuses?

It's tempting to go for special forces though...

You are better off going in for infantry or maybe attempt to get a Ranger contract if you eventually wanna go SF. most people off the street do not make it through the training and a few years experience under your belt highly increases your chances of success. If you don't believe me you can ask several of my soldiers that are "SF babies" that didn't pass Selection and got sent to us.
