SHADY WHAT ?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!!!!!! wow that is awesome proud of you

yeah i took the ASVAB monday so now i'm just narrowing down what MOS i want and getting things in order.... can't take the michigan economy anymore... time to go get some schooling and some decent money while doing it...

Active or guard?? What kind of job do you want???

thats pretty cool shady.......good luck with everything
oh and since you are leaving you have to go to every meet that we have

going army active duty right now i'm looking at either M1 Abrams Tank System Maintainer or Radar Repairer... also possibly looking at "Multiple Launch Rocket System Automated Tactical Data Systems Specialist"... just cause it has cool name.

M1 Abrams Tank System Maintainer or Radar Repairer: M1 Tank mechanic thats a rough job man.

Radar Repairer: Depending on what radar system you may either be in a Military Intelligence unit, or a Field Artillary unit.

"Multiple Launch Rocket System Automated Tactical Data Systems Specialist: Repairing the targeting sight and computer on the MLRS, which is a badass weapon system.

Good Luck with that man, also request Fort Campbell and come hang out with us!!

yeah i heard M1 could be a rough job and lots of heavy lifting.... i was leaning mostly towards the Radar Repair (94M). They said it would be a great one to get into because when you get out the airports love to hire you to work on their radars.... Multiple Launch Rocket System Automate Tactical Data Systems Specialist (13P) looks like a fun job but it looks like a very complex system and the AIT is only 7 weeks... sorta scary

Dont be a 13p. Im a 13D and it is basicly the same job. It sucks ass. If you want a cool job in the army i say go avaition. Atleast if you get out you can get paid.

well Army didn't have any type of aviation opening right now but i went and talked to the air force today and may be going that route... if so i would be here probably till about august or so (more cruising time!)

I don't know what you're really talking about but if you have a chance to go in the Air Force you'd be a fool to not do it. The Air force is the best quality of life and the Marine Corps is the Best hard core life. I did 4 in the corps and 6 in the army, my real dad retired from the AF and he by far had the easiest life. While I was stationed in Iraq/Afgan I didn't meet one A/F flyboy that had anything larger than a sidearm issued to them. If I had to do it all over again I still would have joined the marine corps but instead of the Army I would have went in the A/F.

quick update: looks like i am here for a while longer. Not sure if i can go airforce yet because like 5 years ago i had a UAW credit card and then i lost the UAW job and couldn't afford the card anymore. And because my fiance has 2 kids... appearantly they are looking for a single person with no kids or married with 1 kid... they are willing to over look one of my things but not both... i should find out tomorrow for sure...
If they don't accept me then i am definately going Army Active Duty and will be leaving out July 11th for basics and won't be done with AIT until like next august (9 weeks of basics and 45 weeks of AIT). Good news is either way i can hit Tri-state still this year since we planned it early this year.

What mos did you pick? Thats a long ass AIT

Radar Repair (94M).. its 45 weeks of AIT in 2 phases....

good luck shady. hope it all works out for ya.

You gave the recruiter too much information.

That's a great MOS. Most of your field duty will be in the hooch, lol. Good luck bud, I'm glad you got a non combat arms MOS.

Also, everyone tells tall tales and trys to re-invent themselves when they join the military. I knew one guy that claimed he was a model and another guy that thought he was a werewolf. Don't be that guy. we can always tell when it's just a story. You're going to meet a lot of brians and a lot of people who say they did things they never did. YOu'll even meet a lot of people who think you're dog crap because you're not a combat MOS.

Good luck, don't screw it up and don't get dead.

good news! i got a call today from my airforce recruiter and he got them to approve my 2 waivers so its looking like airforce again! I was really hopeing to go airforce all along just didn't think i could get in but now its looking possible!

congrats!!! Now you can join the gay club of America.... I was told all the gay guys enlist in the airforce cause it is easy!!! Not judging anyone.... that is just what I have been told by a few airforce people!!!

nah gay guys go navy (they love sea men)...

LOL!!! Navy also..... although my dad was in the navy!!

i rest my case..... i kid i kid
