    I enlisted my Jr year in highschool and went over summer before my senior year. When I made it to my barracks about 1000 steam engines after the bus ride. A guy across from me in the hall looked about 30 years old. He started crying. I wanted to laugh but knew better. I knew right then I would have no problem. I made it. He didn't. I saw my first American convert to Muslim. Dude was weird. The drills hated him.

    I stayed in the middle of the pack. The drills didn't know my name till graduation. Don't volunteer for anything and when they ask you ain't got no drivers license.

    yeah... they get a ''bonus'' for each recruit. the sooner you go... the less likely you are to change your mind. Tell him No... but that you want to explore your options on other MOS's... Did you take the ASVAB yet? and if you get a degree... why the hell are you joining? I dont wanna hear to be patriotic...lol What is you degree major? Oh your Friend also gets a ''Bonus'' for BFing you too. Oh and the recruiter is using what is know as a High pressure sales tactic... you dont have time to really think about what you want. Like when you go to the dealership an see that cool car... but dont pay attention to the price AFTER ttl. then you realize that you didnt really want this car but your stuck in it for a 6 year finance at 14%apr.

    EDIT
    I like 12M, 63B or now called 91B, all the 15's. 31B is OK. 40c is kinda a joke. 42's are the band geeks. 60's are in high demand in civy life. stay away from 79r if you can.
    Ok so i took the ASVAB in HS and it was pretty awesome mine turned all .. but ya not smart enough to get in to the airforce.... well prolly could if i try, im gonna see how far college gets me before i try again. Thanks for enlisting for ur country to keep us safe thats a really cool thing!

    I did tell him no, i always have put the recruiters in the same category as car salesmenMy degree is in Automotive repair and i have already been a tech at a toyota stealership for about two years and a tech at a tuning shop and i just realized that its going to burn me out to the point where i dont want to work on my own projects soooo...... i dont want to make that my career, and ive always thought about the military since High school but i just saw this as the right time for me to get some real direction in my life, do a good service for this country that has given me all of these opportunities, and hey...make a little money to fund my projects to boot........i dont know ive been thinkin about an LS7 for one of my trucks........
