Shit that is smart, didn't think of that. I might join our """military""" too, then.

Not with Dudeweed in charge, bombing the middle east is too racist.

>fighting

I'm not stupid enough to be a grunt. Went with avionics technician so I don't end up in a brain-dead job any retard can do. Shipping out on 16th of April.

Still haven't properly started training for basic yet because I hate exercise. Hopefully I won't die or get kicked out.

At least it'll get him off his ass. Thanks for the motivation, Shlomo!

Go into something that is marketable as a civilian. Unless you're planning on staying in until you retire and then drinking yourself to death, you're going to get out, and if you do something that is specific to the military, you're going right back to NEETdom.

Finance/Accounting, trades, signals intelligence (like signals other than voice traffic), diesel or aircraft mechanic, cook, pilot; officer jobs in general will count as management experience.

Sure, there are jobs that like combat arms types, but there are way more of those guys than there are those jobs.


I was a Korean Linguist in the US air force. The only way to have a civilian job related to that when I got out was to have a particular clearance that you weren't going to get if you weren't in at least 6 years. Korean is a worthless language; there are translation jobs and such but you'd be better off working pretty much anything else for what they pay.

I had a pretty good time, mostly. But there were some unique fucking bullshit issues with the unit I would have been perpetually trapped in if I'd stayed in. Also the US military gives superiors ways to severely fuck you that are also bullshit. (Fortunately HIS superiors weren't going to let him get away with it.) I wouldn't recommend the US military to anyone with options. Dunno about Canada, but the career field advice should still apply.

Make sure you learn some more general skills than just working on the specific equipment they have you dealing with. Get especially well-versed with anything that is also found in civilian aircraft, and get good with electronics in general.

Are things that bad in Spain, or do you just want to be a badass?
>>
>>56642043
Practice for BUD/s now.
Its hard to practice while you're in because there's not that much free time.

no, I have a lot of opportunities in life, but I just can't imagine myself doing anything else. I started university last year, but I just don't want to spend my life getting a degree and finding a job. And as a Catalan, I don't consider the Spanish military an option. After I'm done with the legion, if Catalonia is independent and has an army, I might join. Or maybe I will study, become a firefighter, a cop... Who knows? I just know that I have to do this. Thanks to my parents' properties, I think I could survive without working when I inherit them anyway.

I was a Marine Engineer on Submarines, it set me up for a pretty good civilian job. The best advice I can give you is save your money, do not drink it all or spend it on a flash car, do every course you can and get in good with the admin people so they can teach you how to jew the system for better bonuses.
>>
I once considered joining, but now that there is a huge chance of being sent to the front line against Narcos I have my doubts
>>
>>56643783
I plan to. Might even take a couple courses in my off time so I can be s-m-r-t.
>>
>>56641700
I'm in the same boat as you, weedman.
I joined the Marines, ship off for Parris Island in September.
