[the kid fiasco]

I'm in Iraq Right Now, Army (active BEST WAY TO GO) 31B (MP) Just got my waiver and got promoted to SPC E-4. Army and military is a nice gig, feels good getting paid to workout and if i get a scratch or a bruise, its free to get it checked out and healed.
Some stuff i dont agree with but its a job, I plan on getting out 2014, thats when my 5 year contracts up, plan on going border patrol hopefully my MP background can put me above the rest of the applicants, or becoming a firefighter in the west coast, Cali, Az, maybe in TX, im stationed there and I love it.

People who ARE thinking about joining, or just want to know. Recruiters will BS you, to make there numbers, remember if it isnt on paper then it isnt gonna happen, theyve screwed my dudes outta schools/bonuses etc. If you wanna live a civilian life AND go to school and have a good job at your home, go National Guard, if you want a thrill, see places, enjoy the military life, Go Active. Originally I wanted Air Force, and try to be an MP there but i think its called security Operations, i think i dont know.. but AF blew me off, and Its true if your arent a pilot in the AF your nothing...

to all my service members.

Ha. They told my buddies that too. Only thing is if you got a bonus on your NG contract, they take it back, if you wanna go active.. I can ask my dude what he did, and ill let you know fam.

Love/hate my job and the military over all. There are good days and bad days. I just hate where I'm at right now (Im stuck in Mississippi...this place

) Just a few more months though and I'll be home in San Diego, CA.

If you can deal with the BS...the Military is not all that bad. Steady pay, College tuition assistance, GI Bill and all the other benefits. Feels good man.

Is the Air Force the only Branch that makes you take a qualifying test to be an officer? Or does all branches require the same type of test?

Yeah I just took my AFQOT, waiting for my results. But I have to wait till September too see when they will be excepting officers that are not trying to be Pilots . I know they are doing a crazy downsize for the AF. But I feel good about my test, just don't want to wait a Year + to become an officer.

Alright, yeah AF ALWAYS had there choice of 'recruiting' now since ALL military are filled up, Like the army, if becoming an officer, you go to OCS school, and they choose your MOS for  you upon graduating...  Yeah this isnt gonna happen in a quick moment. its gonna take some time man, especially for an officer slot. IDK how it is with AF, but Im sure there gonna milk it, and see what other applicants there are. hope everything works out man,

if you dont me asking... whats your degree in? and did you always wanna join the military when you were in college?
