I went to PI and punched out the first guy that yelled at me so they made me a DI. Later, I did some super secret shit. Above Top Secret stuff. I'd tell you but then I'd have to kill everybody on here. Then they sent me to the Pentagon to mellow me out and the Commandant and Sergeant Major of the Marine Corps both yelled at me and I punched them both out. They sent me to the brig but I punched everybody out and walked away.
But for real, I started as a grunt in the Reserves and shipped over to active duty to work on radar and IFF. Good times? Yeah. Bad times? Yeah. Would I do it again? Fo shizzle. |

I took comfort in knowing we used mostly all old army hand me downs and whatever they did not want.

You have to join up, to see what it's like.
It'll either be the best, or the worst, thing you ever did. |

I'm currently a cook assigned to the SS CASEY RYBACK. I enjoy make the nous defions pastry and serving nasty nick coffee.

I ETS'd, and less than 30 days later made the cutoff for SSG/E-6, but watching my daughter being born beat another deployment, or a promotion.

F-16 Pilot. Korean campaign, Desert Storm, and other hotspots around the world. I also have hours in the A-10 over central Germany.
I figure I was at least a Major considering how many times I crashed or was shot down and got to keep flying. |

I joined because my recruiter said I could fuck Miss USA http://pic80.picturetrail.com/VOL965/4056977/23525913/396948247.jpg J/K View Quote I was told the same, except with the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders. All they did was call me "sweetie" and take a picture with me at the USO. I'd rather have Andre Arlovski come back for a second tour so I could grab his ass the next time. Such a rip off. Bunch of fucking lies. |

I wanted to join, but I am pretty much an honorary member of CAG with all of the carbine courses I have attended, and videos I have bought.

More on topic this time. US Navy, Surface Warfare Officer (ship driver), fixed shit, broke shit, shot missiles, guns, torpedoes. Did a shit load of paperwork, drank alot of coffee, saw a lot of the world, set me up for a good paying post retirement gov civilian job in DoD. Had fun, had fucked up times, got my ass handed to me a few times and was still respected by subordinates, peers and superiors. Would probably do it all over again.

Avionics Technician (I-Level) Intruders, Prowlers, Hawkeyes, Tomcats Yes. My father is retired Navy, my brother is Active Navy. I have been to his ship and spoken with people he knows about what they do, and what they're trained to do vs really do and ect and figured I would send the question out into the world to get a more broad response. But, I'm not real familiar with anything outside of Navy (but, both Grandfathers were Army) |

I started out as a technician on toilets and decks. Worked my way up to garbage and vacuuming. Finally got to taking care of booboos and changing diapers. View Quote Very similar career paths. Started out scrubbing algae off of submarines, chasing rust and cleaning C-G-U-11's shit.... Then went to band aid and boo boo school and learned to change bedpans, all while marching and carrying heavy items. |

Picked up a lot of habits in the sandbox http://gunpath.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/cory.jpg View Quote Came here to post something along those lines. I joined for the fabulous paycheck, non-stop promotions, endless respect and the lack of Ebola. |

Military taxi driver. I was told where to go to pick up my fare, then delivered my fare to their destination. Calls ranged from a few minutes to a few weeks. I even trained others to experience the joys of military taxi driving. HAHAHAHA!!! Was wondering when you'd show up. |

I am not presently disposed to discuss these operations. Actually, I am unaware of any such activity or operation, nor would I be disposed to discuss them if they did, in fact, exist.

I joined but only because it was quicker path to citizenship. I joined up with one of my former high school teachers in his Roughneck's platoon. Ain't gonna lie, it wasn't easy and wasn't quite what I had expected. The worst was losing my girl to the pretty boy flight officer. View Quote Pffft, you had it easy. My drill sergeant threw a knife into my hand and I got passed over for promotion for some prettyboy no talent asshat. |

I was repeatedly sodomized by this large green phallic thing. It was indiscriminate and cruel.
