Where you at in MT?
Oh, and sheep are good fuckin, don't knock it |

I was 26 now 35.
I was faced with several medical waivers and scored low on the asvab. One Waiver was for being hypothyroid and not overweight. Two was the hernia surgery at 16. Three was for Raynauds Phenomenon. It's a vascular thing NOT related to stress but according to the enlistment standards, It was not waiverable and claimed to be caused by stress. It's not for everyone but the moment you step in a recruiters office you better be 100% on board. Don't waste their time. |

Military is what you make of it. Most of basic is BS games. Sucks harder the older you are but is still not that bad. You have committed to nothing at this point so do not take anything less than what you want in terms of MOS. Recruiters vary heavily between lying POS and stand up guys. They do need to fill numbers and some will have you sign open contracts and tell you if you want infantry after basic "sure kid you got it", yeah not so much. You will end up a water purification specialist some other god forsaken MOS. Also NO Cav. Scout is not the same as a Ranger and you will not get Airborne School automatically.
Know what you are signing up for and get it in writing or it ain't happening. Do not accept an open contract and if you think your recruiter is fucking you over, they prob. are. Tell them to pound sand and walk out and go to another recruiting office somewhere else. |

My username is big al which is weird because I'm not really big just a nickname I've had for forever. I know I'm not sworn in or anything and I know there's a chance I won't be able to join but I have this really good feeling but also this buyers remorse type feeling. I have been looking at the marine corps but I'm not sure after talking to this army recruiter.

if your young and you dont really know your direction in life, do it. I wanted to join since I was like 8 years old and did, dont regret it at all.

If they start to advance, just throw a copy of The Cat in the Hat in front of them and watch them freeze like wildebeest confronted by a predator. Go Army! Go 19K Tanker (not fucking 19D unless you like spurs, chaps and sodomy) for one enlistment. Get all your HOOAH! out. After that you can keep tanking and destroy your body or reup for an MOS that has a real world job skill. |

just suck it up and get er done. its an invaluable thing ESPECIALLY if you are just kind of floating around in life... even if you know what you want to do you could always join and do that job inside or do it for them to pay your college etc.
oh and if they still have enlistment bonuses and want to do college... get the post 9/11 gi bill kicker... I got an extra $650 a month for 48 months when I went to college,,, each month on top of paying my college then gave me like $2250 a month! |

what do you want to do in the Army?
Whats your GT score(if you took the ASVAB)? Lots of opportunities, just have to decide/see whats available to you. |
|
When you get to basic, tell your Drill Sergeant to get out of your face. They respect someone who's willing to stand up for themselves. |

I guess this thread was a little different than the one I was remembering: http://www.ar15.com/forums/t_1_5/1867379__ARCHIVED_THREAD____Question_about_joining_the_military.html&page=1
It's good to see my autism is still functioning. Bi Gal, I told you not to tell the recruiters about your shoulder and your asthma. The only waivers you should need is tattoo waivers or age waivers. Go get em, the Marine Corps is jam packed with bi/lesbian girls just like yourself. Seriously, you're going to be more aroused than a blind lesbian in a fish market. |

Know how I know you won't hack?
Because you already have second thoughts and you haven't even signed anything. That's also how I know the Marines are gonna tell you to get fucked. Plus waivers aren't as easy to get as they were 8 years ago. Just go back to the basement and tell people on the internet how you almost joined after the war was over. |

It's just like prison. Walk in and hit the largest recruiter right in his ugly ass face to establish dominance. Probably a good idea to make a joke about fucking his mom/tranny/gf or whatever he's into as well. View Quote You're supposed to do that after you get to basic training. |

If you really want to go in the service, I would suggest Air Force. I know there is much hate here but you will find that the AF is a faaaar better place to serve, with outstanding food and a lot better treatment. Most of the military occupations are technical but if you want combat arms stuff you could try for the Security Forces (formerly Air Police/Security Police) where its much more like infantry but without having to sleep in your own filth in the dirt and weeds for weeks on end. Also the women are way hotter.

There are a shit ton of jobs available and you need to do some very serious thinking about what you want to do in the Army. Going into the military with a general attitude of "duurrrr, I dunno, I guess I'll take whatever job sounds good" is a good way to end up hating life and having no useful skills for real life when you're done. |

I googled "time to vest in the military". No thank you (young guys don't know or care about what this means). College paid for after a couple of years if you need that, hell ya. My bad taste is that I was at, literally, the very bottom of my very larger graduating HS class, and they tried their damnedest to recruit me. Records showed I might have had a hard time wiping my own ass, yet they wouldn't quit calling, even offering to take me to lunch when I told them I had to work after school. My understanding now is that being a recruiter is a rather high stress life. Knew a guy that ended his after a couple of years in it. Know another guy that did his time as a medic and has a nice bit of property. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

To answer your question. During basic, you'll know for certain that you're a tremendous retard for doing this. After, you'll start to think that maybe you made the right choice but thin you'll organise the same conex for the 5th time and return to your previous assessment.
Just kidding, it's great. |

No paperwork/signature, no obligation.
Nothing wrong with talking to them. Do your research on jobs before you join. Maybe even join a local reserves or guard unit first, you can always go active from there. |
