STOP MAKING NEW THREADS

YOU HAVE YOUR OWN THREAD

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.

Those requirements seem pretty mediocre to what I thought they were to be. I don't know why, but I was expecting all that to be at least twice that.

Best of luck Mili.

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

Even more as you go on in your carreer, move off-post, and go to the war. It is pretty good shit.

the Army will let pretty much anyone in. Sorry, it just true.

 

[JWGunslinger]

Good luck buddy, I'll be wishing you well and prayin for your safety.

 

[Mighty NorCal]

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

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

My recruiter said I should be fine



Hence the reason I'm hoping for a Culinary job

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

there is ALWAYS plenty of room for cooks. You should have no problem getting that. and dont worry about a defined trade while you are in, thats why you get to have damn near a full ride scholorship when you leave the military.

not anymore. They stopped accepting people with GEDs so you have to at least graduate High School

Good luck bro.

I'm working on 2 hours of sleep

 

[LamaNamaneumi]

Best of luck to you and be careful.

 

[ScreaminNormanSmiley]

I did.

you said the accept everyone. I said they stopped accepting people with GEDs and I meant it, it wasn't a typo. You have to have a High School Diploma to get in now. At least that's what my recruiter said

 

[Hyorinmaru]

yeah yeah I know

 

[Harthan]

With no offense intended, but I would imagine that refusing people with GEDs would cost the Army a significant number of members.

EDIT: Also, I'm pretty sure that passing the GED test gets you the same credentials from your jurisdiction as a high school diploma, i.e., the two are not actually different from a legal standpoint.

 

[Hyorinmaru]

I may have misheard him the other day. I have been averaging about 4 hours of sleep a night recently

 

[Uncle Phatso]

They are the same Harth, when I was 17 I talked about joining. I was going to drop out and get my ged. They said it's frowned on, and that I would most likely get a grunt job. They actually told me to get a diploma.

 

[Turd Ferguson]

Milenko is going to Frank Costanza his unit.

Good luck bro.

[shattered dreams]

Could be good for you but if you have trouble handling how people treat you on a wrestling message board you are in for a rude awakening.

Good luck bro.

I don't get it

 

[George Steele's Barber]

Frank Costanzo (Seinfeld) was a cook in the army and basically poisoned his unit. They all got extremely sick. It affected Frank terribly to the point that he didn't cook again for years until one day after years of eating his wife Estelle's crappy cooking he started to cook again. Kramer then convinced him to cook for his Jewish Singles event and hilarity ensued.

 

[Hyorinmaru]

I may not even get a cooking job. There has to be some open for me to get them
