Wanting to join the army

I'm wanting to join the army and im not sure if i want to go airborne infantry or cavalry scout. Has anyone here been either and can give me some advice?

How smart are you?

You know they have an entire general for this kind of stuff right?

>asks Jow Forums for life advice
Probably not very.

Well if he is really stupid, cav Scout would be the best choice.

I was able to deploy as a cav scout in Iraq. With the current atmosphere, unless things escalate with Iran, you are just training.

Combat MOSs also have the least amount of transferable skills for a civilian jobs. Think on it user, outside of way, you will hate your day every day.

Getting deployed for me was my one saving grace, not sure if you face the same.

No shit. That;s why you'd want to die in some middle eastern shithole for foreign interests.
Kid, go into trades. Can you drive a truck? Learn how to operate some heavy machinery and make easy $60k/year.

You'll probably just get janitorial.

Hey at least you can claim to be an operator


Mopoperator first class where people thank you for your shit cleaning service

Are you a coward?

25 so not a kid. I have my reasons why I want to go and its not to fight for Israel.

confirmed for a fucking sub 80 IQ retard

I'm a retard because you're such a cunt that you think everyone else should be too?

I'm aware of the shit jobs. I plan to be in for a long time tho so I'd probably be sent overseas.

>I plan to be in for a long time
No plan survives first contact with the enemy.

To kill rag heads?

>Life's all about money and not doing what you want

Yes among other things.

Changing your mind about something because you might be hurt or get killed. LOL

>I plan to be in for a long time
most people don't join the military expecting to hate it.
but most people do end up hating it.

also.
>plans to be in for a long time
>lists jobs with slow promotion rates
>lists jobs that guarantee his body will be broken 10 years in
>is already older than the avg boot
man you're in for a ride

you misunderstood what that user is saying.
that's a well known saying he used.

I wasn't referring to enemy combatants. Some people have to learn the hard way, I suppose.

Yeah I know...

i dont think you do. you do you but try to ask people in those jobs about your thoughts and hear what they have to say.
you had a guy already say his deployment was his saving grace and it offered him no civ skills and you'll hate your day every day.
that's not an uncommon sentiment from any of the jobs you listed.
you may think it'll be different for you, but that's what literally everyone thinks.

What's the matter, faggot? Too soft for the Marines?

LOLOL ok.

meme branch

Cry your buttery tears fatties.

Does someone have daddy isusses?

No, but I suspect someone here has heart issues.

Join the armed forces for what? You will not fight for the sake of freedom and protect others but become a pawn for the special class. The real fight for freedom is at home against the thugs in costumes.

You sound kinda like antifa.

LOLOL good one.

If you wanna go in for a long time and do cool shit I would recommend 13F, you'll make E5 in 3 1/2 years if you study for the for the board and luck sack a early promotion to Specialist along the way. From their its an automatic promotion to E6, but that'll be a wall as your then limited to observer Platoon sergeant slots or being a targeting bitch at brigade and higher echelons. E8 is unicorn status for 13F, and most lifers go warrant from E6 or E7 at that point.
being an artillery observer is great fun, its rough at first as their is a ton of technique and field craft that is just not taught in AIT. But the easy path to NCO makes you the cool uncle that blows shit up for the infantry platoons, but a little bitch when the said manning issues lead to you as a private being broken off by yourself to be raped by the elevens when doing field exercises. Also, I dunno if they still do it, but there was program to get a promotion to E2 before even getting to basic for passing the apft administered by the recruiter. If your hot shit, you can snag PFC from basic for being top of the class or whatever gay shit it was called, or master blaster at the School of Fisting. Pro tip, enlist with a summer/ spring window of training. I went in in winter and everyone was dog shit sick and the fucking cold at Fort Sill made me wanna kill myself.
t. CPL 13F, I was a short timer so my SMJ lovingly fucked me with corporal on his last day before moving to another command, what a glorious bastard.

Also don't go cav scout, those fuckers get forcibly re-classed all the time, and infantry is full of insane fuck fuck games unless you go mortars who are generally chill as fuck.

Imagine, AIRBORNE FISTER.

But real talk bro, Combat arms is very hard on the body, I have the knees and back of a elderly cripple in there 70's from few ieds to the MATV in Afghanistan, and the general heavy load of carrying all the equipment an observer requires.

If your not a brainlet, go intel.

And addendum, I'm finished with my Associates in computer Science and attending an UC for my bachelors in it. GI bill is fucking legit af.

Anyone who says cav scout kisses boys.
Anyone who says Airborne kisses traps.

What you really want to do is go to college instead. Or just join the Navy.

You're asking outside of the daily joining the military q&a thread so you definitely gargle some cocks.
Cav scout. You'll feel right at home there.

Anyone who says Navy kisses men.

and for lunch you can get some middle eastern shithole deli food. Trades are for idiots and uber is going to drive all the trucks same with heavy machinery.. Go kill some mothafuckers for uncle sam

Make sure its what you really want my guy there are many paths through the military and can transfer out into something sweet. My buddy just got out of basic when this whole shit with iran happened and they are not talking about shipping him out as soon as he gets out of ait

No the fuck you do not. Do the National Guard man you will regret going active duty combat arms in 2019

Apparently I scored really high on everything but math on my SATs. Does that translate into ASVAB?

>Does that translate into ASVAB?
not really

I would like to take an ASVAB test just to see what I get.

it's pretty easy

Go to a recruiter. You can take the practice test in the office, same day.

try not to go to combat arms, unless you are trying to do transfer to another MOS

How do you feel about stetsons?

I'm going in as well user but honestly I'd avoid combat arms. I'm going 91F so I can repair and shoot guns. Apparently the infantry guys to have a mechanic with them during range time just in case they need help with something. Just think carefully about what you really want your day-to-day life to be.

how accurate are those for predicting final scores do you think? I did really well on my practice test.

For real, you do like 10 points better on the real thing.

Same. I want to go in for 31k. Military work dog handler. Is this a good MOS? Is it in high demand? I like dogs and don't want to just be a typical ground pounder. Having a furry missile seems like a good bit of fun.

Go ADA and be a 14T. That's where the army's best and brightest go, and you'll get to blow shit up 24/7 (total sarcasm). Big sign on bonus and quick promotion. Pretty common to hit E-5 in 2 years.

Yeah no shit, the ASVAB is easy shit. I'm blown away at how many retards get under 50.
Took a practice test and scored a 78, took the real thing and got an 81. I reserved an 11x contract at first because I didn't think i'd do that well for 68W. Fast forward a couple weeks due to MEPS processing my waivers for my feet and eyes and I find out my vision isn't good enough for infantry. Requirement is 20/20 corrected, mine was 20/30.

Recruiter calls me up yesterday and gives me the bad news. Started listing other jobs I was eligible for and he tells me Combat Medic is one of them. I go up again on Sunday and swear in Monday morning. Its kinda gay because I wanted to leave my shitty ass job on the 8th to benning, but I can settle for the 5th of august. Gives me more time to spend with the lass and all.

i knew two, they were 11B that got sent to dog handler schools, they loved it. but they eventually lose their dogs. really messed with them more i think that more than the multiple multiple engagments, IED explosions, being attacked by local dogs, and so on.

>joining when in a relationship
you better hope shes loyal

Fuck ADA bro, and fuck 35th Bde
>pls dont go ADA OP, unless you're a fag then go for it
