Talked to my airforce recruiter and forgot all about my juvenile record and won't be able to join because of it, so I talked to an army recruiter instead and I will be joining the army after I finish paying off my last traffic ticket.

what MOS are you looking for?

 

[supremeclientel]

Uh I'm not even sure yet. I've been studying the asvab like crazy tho, so I wider range of jobs to choose from... But I just know I don't want to do infantry

I'll ignore that infantry comment 

 (Army, and Marine Infantry here), but its definitely a crazy life.  I loved it.

here is the site that I recommend to people who are joining to read up and choose from MOS's.  I scored a 78 on the ASVAB which is apparently really good, but infantry just seemed like something I wanted to do

http://usmilitary.about.com/od/enlistedjobs/tp/armyenlistedjobs.htm

check it out, do your research and make sure you know what you want so you dont get stuck in an office, or building porta johns for your enlistment

Actually I deployed once in my 4 year enlistment, but on the otherside of the coin, I know guys who deployed 2 or 3 times, it all depends on your unit, and whats going on at the time.  I joined at the height of OEF, so the optempo was much higher, I'm sure things are slower now.  But don't let that be a measuring stick of what MOS you choose.  Pretty much all MOS's deploy, and trust me you want to deploy.  Thats the only way you make any real money (not that thats a good reason for joining or anything)

I see! But yeah I heard of plenty of people coming home from the Middle East with bank, but I'm not doing it for the money, more the experience and to get the hell away from home for awhile.

I was thinking of hitting the Air Force after i graduate next year. I was also thinking about becoming an officer or something since I'd have a college degree

Does anyone have any insight on the USAF?

If you have a degree, don't join any branch of service UNLESS its as an officer.  you'll be doing yourself a serious disservice

also, if you're interested, and you have 4 semesters left, join ROTC, its the easiest path to becoming an officer

How's the ROTC? I still have to do bmt right?

I never did ROTC, but I'm considering it as I come to the end of school.  You would have to talk to a recruiter for all those details, or just google AFROTC/NROTC/Army ROTC, and I'm sure you can find some good info

Will do. Thanks bruh

 

[jrdnsrnss]

I'm active duty Air Force, if you have a degree definitely go the officer route. It's really hard to get in nowadays for enlisted Air Force, probably the same for officer.

 

[ecruteakcityboy]

Sometimes I think joining the military would be best for me.
I wanted an Intelligence MOS in the Marines a few years back and couldn't get it because my parents were born outside of the US.

Any other cool jobs?

Officer is tough if u don't have prior enlistment from what I was told and I was going for officer in the ANG. Was going to do enlistment but then paperwork got delayed, etc etc. I think it wasn't meant to be so I count my blessings

Public Affairs Specialist ... know a few from the Corps and Navy. they all love their jobs. basically the media aspect of their branches. you can transition that job into a lot of different aspects in the real world as well.

I'm not too worried about it personally. With all the budget cuts i kind of see it as a good thing for the people that don't want to be in to get out.

 

[SplinterMatic319]

not worried....they aint cuttin a BTZ winner



but seriously these cuts have affected many people i know especially the retraining cancellations

speaking of retraining, im in my window right now........thinking real hard about that next step of my career .............aircrew? space system ops? UAV? intel?
