[celica9110]

[celica9110]

hey guys im official...i went to MEPS yesterday...and a long day it was
but ive been sworn in and my basic will be in Ft. Jackson
then AIT in Ft. Eustis

[Akirad1]

Relaxin Jackson as they say, so whats your MOS

[netrata]

Fort Benning, GA. Co. A 2/58 Infantry FTW!! Nah Ft. Benning sucked but glad that's been a done deal in 2001. 8 years in the military and still going strong, so if you like traveling and being stationed all over the world then active army or any other branch like the air force is a good deal.

[Akirad1]

Im currently doing ROTC and i know everyone says Cadets are bitches but hey whatever. I personally would love to enlist and get those experiences but how could i pass up free college at an expensive ass school to be an Aerospace Engineer, and then get paid to do it. not to mention i come out as a 2nd LT in the United States Army. Anyways im a huge military buff all around so i give props to anyone who has the courage to go military in any branch. BTW I still get to go to schools like Airborne, Mountain, Sapper, Air Assault, etc etc.

[Akirad1]

Sappers= elite demo guys or somethin

i served 6 years Army EOD. i ****ing loved it. basic training was a summer camp with counselors that yelled at you. i was in pretty good shape from wrestling in HS so the PT was nothing for me. AIT was the best. i got to blow **** up and handle explosives. how cool is that. when i got out i had a job waiting for me making about 85,000 a year. when iraq kicked off i was offered several jobs to go over there and clean up. salary was 250,000 for a 1 year contract. i passed on that and now im an electrical engineer at Northrop Grumman. GI bill paid for college and im making good money.

best choice i ever made in my life

my dad has been in AF for almost 20 years flying (was out, went back in cuz airline industry is so crappy, now flys reserves) im currently in the process of applying for AFROTC scholarship- seems you've chosen army so i cant convince you otherwise ; ).
its all good stuff with great benefits ive been an brat my whole life and love every aspect of it- one of the guys my dad flys with has two sons in the TX Air Guard and both got 10k plus signing bonuses, plus get paid to drill etc. you really can't go wrong

side note to 6g94celica-what kind of questions did they ask in your interview- Ive got an ALO (Liasion officer) that is supposed to be contacting me soon and i want to be ready- kind of freakin out

[celica9110]

6 weeks im super excited!!!!

[jcbass7]

I guess i missed my chance to preach about the Coast Guard haha, I'm a cadet at the Coast Guard Academy so I know what the ROTC guys are talking about, but seriously any form of the military is a great decision (as long as its your decision) and you can accomplish a lot in the service or after with the skills/leadership training you will receive, enjoy.

Hey man sorry i ddin't get back to you right away, but it for the army it was real simple, just the basic stuff and security check. AF may be more strict i know they are alot more mental based than the army so im not real sure.
