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.

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.

I am looking into military service and have not specifically chosen a branch yet but, have taken the ASVAB and talked to a couple recruiters. I am curious what work (rate) have done for our country. The ups, the downs, the things you loved, the things you hated, the things you wish you had done differently, you time after you got out. Maybe even what you thought you were going to do vs what you actually did most of the time. There's tons of scattered stories all of the internet of this and that, and a lot of recruiting propaganda mixed in between, so I figured it would be nice to hear your thoughts/feelings/stories strait from the source. Thanks! Based on your spelling and sentence structure I take it that you didn't do well on the ASVAB.

I slept in the dirt a lot. Got some nasty skin infections that left scars, a disk injury and hearing loss. But it got me a swell tank icon, which is ironic because I was anti-armor platoon. My icon should be an exploding tank turrent.

You cannot volunteer for this work (I certainly did not know anything about this group, until I got orders with a strange name. I had never heard about, nor anyone who I knew, know anything about this command, even the detailler.).
This I know: You are selected after several years in the service by a strange process, which I have no "Need to Know". At AFB McDill Tampa, FL, JOINT SOC is not authorized to use these assets, nor do they fall under their command structure for your information. There is a node at Fort Bragg, North Carolina in the Army (I often PREPOSIT for deployment from there, hopping flights out of AFB Pope), which has the classified knowledge. Another node with knowledge is at Hurlburt Field AFB in Florida (I often trained there). The concentration for the Navy is located at Little Creek Navy Amphibious Base, Norfolk, Virginia and San Diego, California (which has a sub team in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.). The tasking is not like DELTA, Army SF, Air Force SF, its more brains for the destruction and the disruption of the Command and Control assets of an OPFOR. All the rest is pure PFM or classified... That's is all I can say on the unclassified version... |

I was a pretty well experienced pilot on crop dusters on the back water plains of texas, and decided to become a fighter pilot, well after maybe a day of training they send my ass to fly through some trench and shoot a missile through some small ass hole. Then after that I accidentally kissed my sister lost a hand and had some pretty bad beef with my dad. Over all it was pretty swell.
