That's right, the 'skinny fucker' with the 5.11 shirt and pants is joining the Army.

I already quit my job and  I'm doing the 'pre-training' right now to go in as an E2 (PT tests, etc.).  
My ASVAB score qualifies me for pretty much any job but I am still  going to do 11X.  

Damn, I'm so fucking excited.

Wish me luck! I'll try to make it to an LCR when I get back from basic.

You might as well do it right.

Get a Ranger contract. It will include jump school.

Good luck.

Negative.
The ANG wants me to be the uber-REMF of the REMFs.  That's exactly what they're going to get.

We'll revisit that scenario come 06 AUG 13.

"We can do anything we want, as long as it isn't fraud, waste abuse, or stupid."
Advise given me by my 1SG back when I was first made a platoon sergeant.
He must have known what he was talking about, he went on to become the MI Branch Sergeant Major.

Personally, I usually add "illegal", although I suppose "fraud, waste, abuse, or stupid" probably covers everything illegal anyway.

Within 9 months of joining the chAir Force, I went from 117 to 177. But it wasn't muscle I gained.

'Course I'd been doing real physical work before(asbestos abatement) and sedentary work after(nuclear warhead maintenance).

Damn I could have refered you to a recruiter and split 2,000 bucks with you, might be more than that since you are going active.

You know it will be a matter of time before you head off to the sand box, I just got a call here the other day that their is a chance of myself getting transfered to the 81st Brigade because they are short personel. Good luck, some of the best years of your life are near.

Active. Probably 11x or 19x(?) the SF contract they offer. Would love to do jump school like my dad and possibly do ranger school. I've been and will continue to pretrain my body for the upcomming beating untill then. We shall see how it all goes, I have a lot of manning up to do.

Access to the Intarwebz in Basic?  
I s'pose it's possible, the net was only a gleam in Al Gore's eye when I was in Basic.  Hell, they probably have a mandatory Army Knowledge Online session weekly!
