Enlisting in the Army.
What MOS for mad bucks after I'm out?
What MOS for best experience while in?
Aced the ASVAB last time I was processing through, so no worries about what I can get into.
Security clearance could be a problem.
>>29386254
>Security clearance could be a problem.
Well that just about disqualifies you from any possible MOS's that you could expect as answers for your two questions.
>>29386254
Why is security clearance a problem?
>>29386264
Yea. Assumed as much. Would like to get opinions, though. Assume it's not an issue.
>>29386254
you got a knife kill? that's super sick, brah
>>29386293
But it is an issue, you can be a cook, and work at the ACS office... that's it.
>>29386254
Why would you waste your time joining the military to do anything other than infantry, line medic, or any other direct combat positions?
>>29386254

work for BAE, PAE, or Harris when you get out.

You're right, I totally forgot the the enemy kills himself for you. Thanks for helpinge realize the error of my ways.

You seem rather proud of being a pogue. That's great. Thanks for supporting the people who fight and win the wars.

Wow, you're really trying to justify why you chose to hide behind the fight.

If you're joining the Mil for a paycheck:
>Anything extremely technical or that you can only learn in the Military (encrypted systems, secret squirrel shit, high tech mechanic, etc)
Otherwise:
>Combat arms
Because despite what these cowards say, 99% of them didn't join so the military has worker bees to keep the cogs moving out of some sort of patriotism or sense of duty.
They joined for the cushy job, lack of danger, and being able to tell bitches they're in the Army.

Medevac not withstanding, Aircrew in general is a "hard" MOS; even in garrison there's a chance we won't go home that day when we go fly.
Aviation is the only combat oriented MOS in the army who does their full job every day, deployed or not.
Asking here because I've been feeling going back to the military. I was a 13B, 9 years in, got out. And after two years in the "Civ" life I can't take it.

>>29387545
That's what I was thinking. Despite all the shit natty guard gets, I'd say 80% of them were good ass soldiers. I was more worried about going back in as a private or specialist.

>>29387521
>>29390492
I know imma get the POG lecture but I got out of the marines and got a degree in Computer Science and honestly me and everyone I work with on base legit laugh at how bad infantry is at making life choices.
>>29390666
nothing wrong with being a POG. I just have little respect for anyone who didn't at least do their first few years as combat arms (infantry, tanker, cavalry, medic, artillery, etc)
Honestly I wish I had become a POG after my 3 years, but I decided to just get out.
>>29390688
I was a pog diesel mechanic, got out and went IT because it interested me more, now I walk around and fix Data marines mistakes since their useless pieces of fucking shit who fake injuries to get out of work and dont know shit about routing protocols or IT at all.
they literally are completely useless I cant name a single data marine who knows his job. But they'll happily jump down someones throat for not serving, like dude you arent serving shit right now you went to boot camp, SOI, schoolhouse and Japan you're not serving your country at fucking all you sit around on youtube and dip.
>>29389837
pogue and pog are interchangeable at this point, the english language is dynamic, they said pogue in the 70's and 80's but it has changed to POG because americans almost always change a word with french/proper english ties because their lazy and dont like adding extra letters, thats why we call it armor and color instead of armour and colour
>>29386898
>joining the military to be a POG
why not just "support" the military by helping the economy. Where do you draw the line of support? Just go to fucking college instead of being the "intelligent" military guy who gets paid practically nothing and wastes 4 years of his life for an experience of slavery.
Only an idiot would chose to be a slave to help logistics. Yes, logistics is important but you are just a cheap labor. Go help out in a different way.
Don't be naive. Everyone here knows you tell civilians you are military. When you tell some girl at the bar this you know what they "think" you do. I bet you don't tell them you're just some kid who sits in an AC building on some small city sized airbase far away from danger doing monotonous work that can be done by anyone else. Disingenuous faggot. This is the big problem with POGs. Whats with the chip on the shoulder. Do you really think working as a mechanic makes you somehow more intelligent than other MOS in the military. Why do POGs act as if they have some doctorate level knowledge that allows them, the "smart" ones, to perform their job when they are just bitches who got cold feet.
>>29391039
some of us were forced into logistics, theirs a shit ton of would be combat engineers who were pulled from the engineer school and put into other jobs like utilities or maintenance. its lame

And yet you still have no idea what you're talking about, its impressive what a dumb cunt you really are. Its super apparent that you never actually served, it must be hard convincing your friends of your fictional military career. Its okay though kid, keep thinking that everything infantrymen get is magic and they are the only ones who need to exist in a worth while military.
>>29391039
You're assuming too much, I never said anyone who joins as a mechanic is more smart than anyone in a combat role, just that other MOS's exist for a reason, that reason being that combat roles wouldn't exist without them in a modern military. But you wouldn't know that, you know, on account of what a dumb shit you are.
>>29391265
> keep thinking that everything infantrymen get is magic and they are the only ones who need to exist in a worth while military.
>And yet you still have no idea what you're talking about, its impressive what a dumb cunt you really are.
are you trolling or just ironically dumb? I don't think anyone here said logistics are useless. If they did its miscommunication.
Nice strawman though. You are a very smart kid. I see why our military needs people like you. Don't go infantry please. We need your level of analytical expertise in the non infantry field.

POG and pogue are two totally different things. POG is just "people Other-than Grunt", pogue is a pejorative for people who are not in a front line MOS.
As a flyer, sure I'm a POG, BUT a pogue I am not.
look you have to be fucking dumb to risk your life when you can get a bonus, gain experience in a field that transfers to civilian life, and call yourself a military badass at the same time. No one knows the difference in the real world. So have fun fucking up your body and getting shot so you can tell some warstory at a bar. In fact, I will tell your warstory and get more pussy doing so because my mind won't be fucked from being treated like a dog for four years.

>>29391570
From an outsider looking in, what do want them to do? Never make eye contact and give you a handjob as they walk by?
You wanted front line duty, and you got it. What more do you want? (Other than a VA that foes it's job and job opportunities when you get out.)
Army cook.
1.You can steal the best pieces for yourself.
2. You learn a trade that is in high demand in the civilian world
3. You learn a trade that has importance in your personal life.
4. Little risk of getting injured or killed.
5. People call you "Chef"
>>29392061
Oh yeah and I forgot...
6. You get the chance to fuck the female service personel...etc while the combat arms are stuck out in the field.
>>29391996
Personally, because I know I don't speak for everyone else. I want them to realize what they are. Useful to the military but not spartan warriors. Cut the whole i'm just like you shit when its not the case. They technically fill a more important roll but its not combat oriented. I also don't see aviation, tankers, etc. as the same as a mechanic. I realize the risk they take. Nor do I see myself or my old unit as proficient as some Rangers or their unit. I know my job is easy to train anybody in as long as they have social skills and aren't completely incompetent.
>>29392098
Military is full of idealistic young men wanting to act macho.
The truth is that foreign policy is very heavily influenced by economic interests...the economic interests of large corporations that don't give a fuck about you or America but they give millions to congress and politician's reelection campaigns.
The army is at the disposal of a bunch of fat, balding short men in their 60s with pacemakers and short cocks banging young interns in viagra fuelled orgies. All of whom probably never even shot a gun or got into a fist fight.
They send you out there and risk your life so you can replace one dictator with another so that big corporations with offshore accounts in tax haven can get better contracts exploiting their ressources.

>Mfw conducting missions vital to national security without worrying about taking fire or living in a hole
I only have to worry about crush depth, fires and flooding. Army a shit.
Honor...sacrifice...valor
Concepts that are totally alien to the female mind.
You might impress and earn the respect of fellow men with an infantry job but women will only feign interest without truly caring about what you do.
You could get your leg blown off trying to save your fellow squad members or getting third degree burns running into a foreign orphanage saving babies, or even get the medal of honor by taking on hordes of enemy combatants overrunning your outpost...
but none of it matters to women.
What matters to women is that, today, she saw the local TV weatherman in the lineup at the grocery store with his wife, and on the phone with her sister, she goes on and on about how she can't believe that a man like him could have married an overweight woman like her...etc

Fucking this. You join to grow a set of balls and that's about it. Slave away at fucking everything even if you're SF. Everyone answers to someone. No matter who the fuck you are, you'll always be a piece of shit and that's what the military teaches you. Whether you choose to accept it or not.
>>29386970

>>29386934
i am a POG. My first deployment was the initial push in 03 as water purification, spent 13 months performing water purification, convoy security, guarding the perimeter and a variety of other jobs. although i did not have a combat mos i still saw combat. my 2nd deployment i was supply and i was in charge of security of a retrograde yard and in charge of the shipping and demil process of military equipment. i saw ABSOLUTELY no action on the 2nd deployment. Funny thing is, most of the 101 i came across hadnt seen any either. in fact an nco from the 101 told me a cute story olabout his plt leader toss a flash out his mrap to try to claim he got attacked so he could earn a CIB. i legitimately earned my CAB. We worked closely with some SF teams in afghanistan getting them equipment when they werent able to order more through their normal supply chains. Now i dont have any grandiose belief that my 2nd deployment was glorious but when those SF teams came back and told my soldiers how the gear my soldiers provided directly impacted their mission and ultimately created a successful mission and correlated to lives saved, my soldiers felt GREAT. The military is a giant machine with many moving parts and we are all a part of that machine. i personally have never hidden or run from combat and at times i hate the MOS's that i hold, but i am still competent enough to know and understand that it takes all the MOS's to sustain warfare.
>>29391363
You're still not reading correctly kid, try actually going through the thread like a competent person would.

I had known a few tangos and uniforms who didn't have them, but they joined back in 05-06. I think once MH-60L and CH-47F came out it was altered that new enlisted required secrets. I know Sierra's and anything that had to do with OH-58's were required to have secrets, but them shits got phased out.

Super smart decision. Sign up for the Navy. You'll get to wear the slick Navy white officer's uniform and remain on shore during your entire term of service.

you faggot POGs realize that proudly holding a support/non-inf MOS is equivalent to being a proud cheerleader or waterboy for the high school football team. you might make a difference, you definitely are helping the team, but you aren't doing anything brave/courageous to brag about. just be glad you were apart of the winning team and shut your faggot pog asses up

good job /k/
Op, if you want an enlisted MOS to make money after the army, do something like a mechanic or radar operator. Anything S-2 can pay off to, but nothing is a guarantee. Basically if you want a job after, then you have to learn a valuable skill and get a degree while you are in, even if its an online degree.
If you go officer, then the logistics branches will make you money. I am an 88A, and with my degree I am looking at 100k/year jobs in supply chain management when I get out.
Also, the infantry is cool and all, and they can wave their dicks around like we see in this thread, but in the real army you don't catch much shit for being a POG. Believe it or not if you act normal and understand that the warfighter is the main goal, then people will respect you. If you can outshoot and out PT them then that helps too
>>29386714
>line medic

Enjoy doing the most fucking high speed and coolest AIT's besides infantry, like real life calladooty and college all rolled into one, and then spending your service obligation filling out paperwork at sick call.
You join as a 68W. Some get maroon berets, fall out of planes, shoot pew pews, and get combat deployments. Most get barracks life, checking vitals, dealing with PFC's chasing PT profiles and medical discharges, and when they do deploy end up in Qatar at an Air Force hospital.
You will literally go from a training environment calling cadences about falling out of the sky into the jaws of Hell itself, carrying people on your back, loading stryker ambulances with "wounded" soldiers, doing IV's and learning all kinds of high speed medical shit to giving flu vaccinations and checking blood pressure.

>>29397348
I dunno, one of them re-classed from being an Apache guy to boot.
Do the marines have something identical to 13F?

09R here. Going Guard to get more experience is the best thing. ROTC is just straight fucking cadetland. Not even remotely like the big Army.
>>29397565
the tanker mos, 19k, is going through a major downsizing right now, so your chances are slim. Talk to your retention nco about an inter-branch transfer. if youre within 2 years of your ets date, good fucking luck. Your best bet at that point is to just finish your current contract, wait your 90 days, then enlist army via a recruiter.

Who would be naked, unarmed, and starving in the wrong place without pogues. Logistics wins wars.

>implying you lose your rank if enlisted
Granted if it's not past 20 years, it's not a retirement, but the last earned rank is still there (unless if you were another branch and tried to crossover into the USMC)
>>29387306
That's been the proper spelling for around a century. What grade did you drop out of?
>>29386934
You're really trying to justify picking a job that can be done by an 11 year old with a cheek full of khat.
>>29387114
Why so salty? Did you just realize that dropping out of high school was a mistake?
And maybe now your knees are so blown out that you can't re-up, leaving you at 23 with 40% disability and zero employable skills.
>>29387141
>They joined for the cushy job, lack of danger, and being able to tell bitches they're in the Army.
And to pick up job skills, and to get lined up for college later on down the road. That patriotism and duty schtick works on high school kids, and people who never grew out of high school. It's the exact same spiel that Habib gives when he's talking a teenager into putting on a vest.

To have grandchildren you'll have to have sex with a woman. Right now, I'd say your prospects are looking pretty dismal.

I'm voting for A). My responses are geared toward B), though.
Either way, being trolled is part of who we are. It's a way of sharpening up our debate skills.

I dont know if this thread is still alive, but
I know this guy who was supposedly a medic back during the OIF/Desert Storm days and he retired as a captain after doing his 20 and SUPPOSEDLY doing all kinds of operator shit as a medic even though "I wasn't special forces, I just was embedded with those guys"...Anyways
I have no familiarity with the military or how it works and I haven't taken the ASVAB yet but he said if he wrote me a letter of recommendation that I could "get in as an E-4". Is this true, or is that only for them college boys?
>tl;dr: I might have a hook into .mil, but I don't know if this guy is just a drunk who's full of shit
>>29401936
>but he said if he wrote me a letter of recommendation that I could "get in as an E-4".
He is talking shit, also medics do not get to become Officers unless they are Doctors or Nurses.
>>29401992
He went to OCS for air defense, from what he tells me
Got a score of 93 on my asvaab two years ago. Is that good?

If you really wanted a better pay rate you should have joined JROTC
>>29388062
What kind of sub?
What model?
What Do you Do on the submarine?
>>29402051
Actually I don't want a better pay rate, I just want to join and not do something useless.
I guess what I'm getting at is should I join on my own merit or ask this lush for a recommendation as well
>>29402045
What do the asvab scores even mean though?
>CTRL+F
>no reference to 35Q - Cryptologic Network Warfare Specialist
Cyber Warfare Command is one of the booming fields in the military and is in huge demand in the private sector. As a civilian, you can make $90,000/year STARTING PAY on anywhere from an associates to a bachelors depending on where you work.

Will my autistic pathology about memes and memetics help me qualify for that classification
>>29402067
Fuck that guy.
You're enlisting not applying for a scholarship.
First, find which MOS you consider not to be useless.
2nd, find the required ASVAB score for said MOS
3rd, take ASVAB and pass with the score you need
Finally choose MOS
It's that simple anon.

I'm also worried about getting medseg'd for two things
I got some scoliosis (I know I can get a waiver for this, depending)
And I got a fucked up pinky that broke and didn't heal right; as a result I can't make a full fist on that hand (can I get a waiver for this? only way to fix it is surgery)
Other than that I'm willing to cowboy up
>>29390688

So, you couldn't even finish your first enlistment? Wow. Kicked out at 21, nothing to show for it but a couple of square feet of tattoos.

What about hot bunking?
>>29402122
if you have a degree in Network/Cyber security, that will probably allow you to skip some of the training at AIT, but you'll probably have to go through the process like everyone else, so probably not.
>>29391517

this guy just rekt all these faggots
>>29386934
Not him but I chose a POG job because it's the best I felt I could do. I qualified by doing pretty well on the ASVAB and went to a technical school.
Sure, like all young men I had GI Joe fantasies about saving the day with bravery and valor. I could have tried to be combat arms but I know, deep down, I'm not cut out for combat. Don't see any shame in recognizing that and doing what I could to support the mission behind the scenes.
Are you using this as a segway into a specialized field or is this an sense of adventure and excitement?
There is nothing wrong with either. but its really your decision. with kids who have a pathway to college taken care of by mom and dad the excitement mentality is a strong motivator(Mom an Pop cant buy you the excitement of being in contact).
If you want a specialized job after the military take a specialized job while in the military.
Setting yourself up for your time after the military is also very important. Now when you are in regardless of your job you will get money each year for Tuition assistance, use that shit to help offset the 3 years of MGIB.
With all the shit talking going on between combat and non combat roles, just remember that every one has a place in the military. If you want to pull triggers on an objective you aren't going to do that if you are in a hangar turning a wrench and vice versa.
I am an 11B and its the only job that I could ever want, but I know that's not the case for everyone.
>>29392406
Stale pasta already

I'm senior enough that I don't risk hot racking unless we have CT''s on board.
As long as the other guys bunking aren't fucking disgusting it's tolerable.
