Just Joined the Army!

Sign up for airborne school. Its a trip. then do Air assault. Even if you don't make it through ranger school, which a lot don't, you'll still have some decoration. Helps come promotion time. You going in as an E-1? I hope not. But if you are don't fret... E2-E4 come quick. look for the green to gold program too.
Personally I would advise letting your asvab scores make your career choice. Think about your future. If you get out... Not a lot of civilian soldiers. You can get into the police, fire, or similar pretty easy... but If you score high enough you can get a job in the army... learn it and make a killing in the civilian world.

Thank you, i very much aprieciate the links and the advise, and i see what your talking about with the whole job thing, i might try to change my MOS now, when i see it in that perspective. im coming out of bootcamp as an E3 with my college credits so im pretty excited about that unless i shouldnt be? i only know what my recruiter told me so if you feel like it, i would really aprieciate some more advise since you have already gone through this whole thing im trying to take in as much as possible haha!

I cant say that I have been through what you will go through. But If you have college already, why not finish first? I know everyones situation is different. But what do you want to do with your life? How old are you? How much college do you have? Army can get you a lot of $$$ for college and other things as well as pay for old SL's... but if you plan on getting out ASAP... I would find a MOS that has a short term... Some of them are only 3 years. Some are more. My bro got 6 years on his. If you join 11B you could be gone for as long as they want to keep you. And if there is a conflict... that could be a long time. To join the ARMY is a very big choice. What job you choose is even bigger. Even if you wash out of Basic... which a lot of people do, you are still 10 pegs above a normal guy because you had the balls to try. And remember that nothing is in stone. Dont let your recruiter talk you into anything... I dont care if he is your best friend... he doesn't know whats best for you. only you do. If he tells you the MOS that you want is full, or doesn't ship for 2 years... tell him you'll wait. You are not obligated to do JACK until you sign the contract. which can be nulled.
Just remember what the Zen master says...
