I've decided to join the Army

[Hyorinmaru]

blah blah blah you said you weren't gonna share personal info. blah blah blah fiance. I know I did and she knows, She nervous but happy for me.



For the people who are gonna ask I have 4 main reasons.

1) The benefits are awesome. Free insurance, housing and just about everything else.

2) They pay will be awesome. With my college education I will go in as a PFC which mean I will make $1,600 a month. setting aside $800 a month i would have thousands after i got out I would have thousands of dollars saved

3) I'm 24 and need to get out on my own and this is the best way to do it.
like i said damn near everything is provided.

4) last but not least I want to do it.

Best of luck milenko

 

[Paralyzer Z]

I wish you luck!

Any idea when you're heading out? Well it be this year?

 

[red ass skull muhfukkah]

Good luck Milenko. It's tough choice to make and I'm sure you'll do great.

What job are you going for? Infantry or something specific?

You could join the Peace Corp. Or do a few circuits for AmeriCorp. At any rate, best of luck to you, just make sure you've really thought this one out before you submit yourself to the hell that is the first few years in the Army. I would never do it, mainly because I don't support this country's idea of freedom and democracy, but if you're looking for discipline and a free ride to whatever you want AFTER you finish (in 8 years...) than there's no better option.

Just be sure of what you're signing away. Maybe talk to some people who are in the Army that AREN'T trying to recruit you (they get paid for your "yes"). I almost joined the Navy a few years ago - had the papers in front of me and everything. Looking back I'm glad I didn't. There are other ways of getting stability and control in your life.

EDIT: Wow. Thanks guys. Now I just look like the dick... xD

 

[Remix]

Good for you and good luck.

 

[SavageTaker]

Good luck. Have you found out if you meet all of the requirements yet?

 

[The Doctor]

Good luck.

 

[BK Styles]

Best of luck, man.

 

[GI Cake]

My advice, choose a specialization that would help you get a job once you are done your service.

 

[hatehabsforever]

All the best hyourinmaru, I hope it all works out well for you.

 

[Davi323]

My advice, choose a specialization that would help you get a job once you are done your service.

My advice: listen to Pancake's advice.

Also, since you have already gone to college, once your basics are done, are they going to try to recruit you into Officer Candidate School?

 

[JGlass]

What Pancake and Davi said, try to learn a trade in the Army that can help you when you get out.

Good luck though, Milenko. I think this will be good for you and hopefully you make it through okay. When do you start?

 

[FunKay the Inevitable]

I wish you luck Milenko. Who knows, maybe, just maybe, you'll bump into NorCal.

 

[Captain Morgan Freeman]

Best of luck Milenko

 

[Smooth Sexual Chocolate]

Good luck man, just make sure you're truly committed to this before signing on the dotted line.

 

[Hyorinmaru]

Any idea when you're heading out? Well it be this year?

Yes. I take the Asvab monday and after I get everything ok there it should be about 6 months

Good luck Milenko. It's tough choice to make and I'm sure you'll do great.

What job are you going for? Infantry or something specific?

I'm hoping to get a Culinary job if there are any open. If not I'm not against learning something new

Good luck. Have you found out if you meet all of the requirements yet?

My recruiter said I should be fine

My advice, choose a specialization that would help you get a job once you are done your service.

What Pancake and Davi said, try to learn a trade in the Army that can help you when you get out.

Hence the reason I'm hoping for a Culinary job

Good luck though, Milenko. I think this will be good for you and hopefully you make it through okay. When do you start?

Whenever they ship me out. The normal waiting period is 6 months

 

[Harthan]

Good on you, Milenko. More people ought to consider this decision. Just make sure it really is what you want and that it's the right decision for you, considering the magnitude.

 

[Dowdsy McDowds]

Stay Frosty milenko!

 

[RoadhogJ]

Good Luck man All the best

 

[The Crock]

Best of luck, Milenko.

 

[ScreaminNormanSmiley]

Good luck Milenko, those terrorists will have no chance against your magic spells.

STOP MAKING NEW THREADS

YOU HAVE YOUR OWN THREAD

 

[Uncle Phatso]

To pass the Pt you have to do a minimum of: 40 pushups, 50 setups, and run 2 miles in 16:36 or less. When I first looked into it my stuff was alot diffrent, you can do it in six months. But it's going to be hard, a 31 on your asvab is kid shit. I fucked off during mine and got a 52.
