I meant I'm just a civilian, and first in, last to leave is the marines

am bantzing

I didn't know that was the marines

I would not do that at all.

I was thinking of doing structural/HVAC/Electrical/Plumbing

Maybe fire prevention

that’s useful 👍 we’ll always need those trades

wish I had a skill like that tbh

Yeah me too, I was gonna go to trade school but this sounds better tbh

For the longest time I wanted to be a Foreign Service Officer. I pretty much aced the test but between then and when I took my interview I realized how cucked the state department was.

I followed the advice in this video and got a great job. I walked in cold with no interview set up too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2PFYZde5SPk&t=0s

This is a fantastic discussion about sales, persistence and success. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SzaNrEThHDM

@Wood-Ape - OK/MN Just took my ASVAB and I scored in the 78th percentile and qualify for basically any job

@Trashboat what branch were you thinking of?

Air force

What civilian world job is your dream job?

Also, with an ASVAB score like that, please tell me you're not going security forces.

Fuck dude idk

Honestly no idea

I like manual jobs

I also like solving problems and having to think

And being outdoors

A combat weatherman perhaps, lol! By manual do you mean just picking things up and putting them down or like a trade?

like a trade

I am pretty good at welding

Honestly, have you considered being a Hull Technician in the Navy?

The Navy is the more "blue-collar tradesman" part of the military. Air Force is the more "I like computers and do calculus for fun" part of the military.

My dad was in the navy and that sounded basically the same

Air force I mean

I've never thought about the navy

Just something to think about...

@Trashboat Excellent work!

@Trashboat if u like picking things up and putting them down, go Marine Corps

Hard no

@Trashboat Something like aviation tech, admin, comm or intel

@Jason - CT Is that a question?

Suggestions

@Trashboat I was in the Navy. Nuclear Electronics Technician. 6 years.

Y’all got any advice on how to pick new hobbies?

I’ve had an enlightening conversation on how dangerous video games are in so much as they are a false sense of accomplishment.

Do you play an instrument? Play an instrument.
