with all that being said
if you wanna be combat arms in anyway go army
Otherwise go air force or go navy
Thanks for sharing the info
That's what we're here for chief
If you want my take on it tbh
Do something in the military you cannot do in the civilian world at all
I know the common advice is to do something that will translate into a civilian career
and that's very sound wisdom
but you're only in your 20's once
If you wanna go do cool adrenaline pumping high speed shit that you can't do anywhere else now is the time to do it
that being said again
It is still not a bad idea to join a technical job
If you're going to have that GI bill for things like college and trade school anyways then why not go blow some shit up while you can
and if your life sucks then just keep applying for cooler and cooler shit until you can't
my first line infantry unit was fucking garbage
I had to apply to get into my current task force in 2012
i'm still there and loved every second of it
Wow
Did you try to get to ranger school or something?
and airborne school
got tabbed
I'm part of a NORCOM/JSOC task force
we augment the 75th Rangers 3rd Bat
I got to do a lot of cool shit running drug raids in mexico with the mexican army and mexican national police
did a lot of federal LEO and FEMA schools/training for some missions
my leadership is all former rangers that wanted to recover
So I've had a great time with my command
Generally speaking in the military in the active duty there's always some packet MOS or some task force you can try to apply to
Civil Affairs/PSYOPS, WOFT(helicopter pilot), Special Forces, Army Rangers, Sapper Units, Diver, EOD, CID, etc
but you have to really try hard for stuff like that
Stuff like that are hard to get into and will work you hard but if you are willing to not be a shitbag and make excuses you'll make it through
Most everyone you hear complaining constantly hasn't really put in the work to try to leave their shitty situations
^^^^^
My dream to follow
Just got aprehensive about some things
The military as a whole is full of shit everywhere especially during peacetime garrison life nowadays
but it is what you make of it really
Everyone in the special operations or aviation community will tell you that
That it sucks?
