You realize 4chan word filters because you are an undesirable right?

I was gonna give some advice but fuck memelords figure it out.

>>29901116

Depends which branch you'd want to join. With an art degree your choices are limited to the army and marine corps for the most part these days, you may want to check with a recruiter since maybe there is some wiggle room.

For example, to be a 17d in the air force you need a cs/it/is degree or some other stem degree with 24 units of cs undergrad coursework.

>>29901098

Brutal, try not to break yourself while attempting to keep up with the kids.

The only thing that would be more depressing than being a 30-something junior enlisted person is getting medically separated in training and having to figure out some other way to get a job.

>>29901166
Yeah I was planning on going Army. My BA is in history if that counts for anything.

>>29901068
You'll get called grandpa a lot. 20 year olds will be your boss at first.

After that shits pretty normal. Even an e3 can tell an e4 to fuck off once you're not a boot. Or even an e5, working party after I spent an hour at the chowhall.

>>29901166
yes, I am old. will try not to get broken. I've always wanted to join, but had the good fortune of having a very nice job right out of high school, so the army was sort of put on the backburner. but last year, the industry I was in sort of imploded, so I said "now or never"

>>29901176
well if your planning army with a ba already go officer. if you enlist you will be an e4 slick sleave (no deployment patch).

>>29901176

You're going to have to make contact with a recruiter to see if being an officer is an option for you. I wouldn't just blindly accept what the recruiting websites say, I have seen a couple people with art degrees get waivered into air force ots for a couple jobs like administration and such.

I'm torn on whether I should be recommending enlisting to people like you in /meg/ if going officer isn't an option. It sucks and it is definitely a waste of your life if you have prospects outside of the military, but the humility and discipline you gain from being treated like shit also makes you a better person.

>>29901068
Average enlistment age is like 21. Just don't bring up your age for anything and no one will give a shit.

>>29901228
Be a little boy faggot? Like you are.

>>29901209

>Even an e3 can tell an e4 to fuck off once you're not a boot. Or even an e5, working party after I spent an hour at the chowhall.

You just have to make sure your edgelordy ass has a good plan for separation or else the counselings you'll undoubtedly rack up whilst being a faggot on a daily basis will haunt you forever if you're trying to stay in to retirement.

I'm 31 and getting ready for air force ots. Even though on youtube it looks like day camp I am still a little worried since my knees are shit due to six years in the Marine Corps out of high school.

I'm going into the guard since I have a good job so honestly I'm thinking that I'm not even going to try and keep up, that I'll just shoot for the 30 and over high pft score - as soon as I hit the time in grade requirement for each rank I'll automatically get it. I'm not sure if my pride will allow that, but I'm noticing as I train that if I run two days in a row my knees are a little swollen on the second day.

well, first of all, you should appeal that decision if you still can. If you were passed out, in the car, and you did not drive it and have proof of that in some way in could be erased.

It might affect enlistment. It definitely will affect a commission to officer. So enlisting might be the way to go.

Good for you. I stand to make $60k next year with my degree.

I could get a recommendation letter from any man I served with. The e5 I punked was a headquarters platoon POG who was up his own fat black ass, and I'd do it all over again. My and my bro from weapons platoon hid under our racks once to avoid formation and work detail.

K.

>>29902036

Not that anon but I'd honestly prefer to make e6 pay and be out than make like 10k more or so and have stayed in.

I just think about adult shit that kids don't realize like how you're never able to own a house, or at least you'd have to worry about selling it every three years or so.

I think the idea situation if you were to go active enlisted would be to get out after your first term with your gi bill and go reserve or guard while finishing your undergrad, commission as a guard dude or reservist after you're done and work on getting a good civilian job.

Look into the street to seat program since you already have a BA. It's be kinda foolish to enlist with a degree then try to go warrant without exploring that option first. What specific questions do you have.

So, commissioning via OCS in the army. Lets say somebody finishes out dead middle of their OCS class. Would they still stand a pretty good chance to branch into a combat arms MOS by the end of it? I am talking stuff like infantry, artillery, air defense artillery, Engineer, etc.
Also, how competitive is it to branch ordnance or transportation? Intelligence?
Gonna bump with some operators.

Why do people even do that if their goal is to be helicopter pilots? I ask because when I at meps I heard kids talking about being pilots and I was just wondering what they were doing joining as a combat engineer or whatever.

Lel. But yes, you still stand a good chance of getting a combat arms branch, since so many are classified as "maneuver" these days.
>>29902758
The TIS requirement is bullshit, I've known kids who put in their packets as E-3s, maybe it's specific to a very in demand mos that you sign on for X amount of years minimum in your contract. For some people, being in already is their best route to becoming a pilot, but I would not recommend that for you.

How difficult is it to apply for Ranger while on active duty?

I could spend up to 18 months waiting for an option 40 contract, or I could ship out in a month and get the $20k quick enlist bonus.

would enlisting without the opt40 make the process longer/more difficult?
MOS would be 25s

>>29902864
Does infantry remain as competitive as it gets to branch? What about engineer?

>>29902868

>>29902954
Wait, you want to go to the regt as a commo guy?

>>29902977

>>29902955
Infantry is the most sought after branch among officers, competing with aviation. Engineers is probably 3rd, definitely top 5.

>>29903005
Why.

>>29903013
What are some of the other most competitive branches? How about intel

>>29902915
Lol.

You play rock papers scissors. You dumb bitch read something.

>>29903037
does the answer to that even matter?

>>29902915

Yes, you get to choose your mos.

The exception is that 03s get assigned one of the jobs in their fields near the end of itb. Maybe someone who was an 03 and not a shitposter could talk about what that is like since I wasn't one - my friend who I was in with at the beginning of the war as an 03 said that assignment was random, not sure if that is the case anymore.

>>29903048
I'd say the most sought after are infantry, aviation, engineers, artillery, armor and intel.

>>29903063
If you have an Infantry contract you get assigned MOS after about 1 month in SOI ITB. Either 0311 or weapons company.

Or you went open contract and congratulations you're a grunt lol. That's rarer but I knew a few lost souls that happened to.

>>29903075
do a lot of guys choose to go ordnance to try to go EOD? Or are most of the guys that end up in ordnance the leftovers?

>>29903058
You just want to be a pog ranger huh

>>29903130
Ordanance is not a sought after field, as officers do not do much hands on EOD work.

>>29903130
EOD is slow speed, slow drag.

Be an 0351 assaultman or the Army equivalent I think they call themselves Sappers. Explosives with less gayness.

I want to go 35. I have determined that 35N is a solid MOS, which builds up a desirable skillset for the private sector. Am I wrong?

Also

35M obviously sounds like the coolest MOS, with the option for language school, etc., but is a good option? Isn't HUMINT slowly going out of trend?

>>29903165
So going EOD isnt competitive you would say then? I dont ask this as an underachiever, just more so considering all angles and back up options.

>>29903171
Going engineer officer is higher on my list than EOD officer

>>29903159
I'm in Intel and hope to someday support Group or Rangers, who fucking cares?

Depends how hard your willing to hustle. You can get VA home loan or USAA loans, VA will pay for about 5 mortgages before things start getting tricky. You only have to live in your house for a year. Apply all BAH towards mortgage, when time is up either rent to a bro, or find a company and charge a little under BAH. Continue cycle for posts.

When you retire in 20 years chose property you liked nearest post, liquidate rest, or keep renting for residual income and go visit buddies across country.

The thing is military everything in your life is paid for, and you make a shit ton of money ontop of that. No other jobs offer BAH and BAS so a nigga can sleep and eat, and while the healthcare blows, on the civvy side you gotta pay for some of the shit.


Best bet imo for young cats is pick an MOS that translates civvy side, or has an atrocious AIT. 68A BMET would have good job opportunities outside the green weeny and ait is 44 weeks, theres also some 25 series that are longer.

The longer it is, the more you learn, the likely hood of more quals, and less training needed on civvy side. They will like that you spent 44 weeks of training, and best part is with basic thats already a year off your contract by the time you hit your unit, plus these jobs youll sleep in your bed probably every night and not have to go to the field too often. When you deploy it will be fobbit lyfe.

Also while your in the best a young person could do if they picked a job that wont fuck them over like infantry or cav in the field all the goddamn time and working 12 hour days. Is to go to a community college, either local or local to your state. Do an online class and either a night class or weekend class. These count for promo points (get promoted more $$$ & sham and looks better), wont cost much if anything, and will save that GI bill money. You'll need close to 2 years of bullshit classes anyways even at a community college or university.

I originally wanted to go Mike to Lima, but the more and more I found out about it, the more Lima sounded like ass. seems the only reason to reclass to that is to be a fed when you're out (which is cool, if that's what you want to do). I've heard literally no high-speed shit about this MOS, red-pill me anon.

>also, are the only 2 "feeder" MOS 35F and 35M? or can anyone reclass as long as they have a language or are in Intel?

>>29903283

I'm 31 and I did my time. You can only get a zero down VA loan once every five years; either being a property manager yourself would be a nightmare for me, and hiring a company would simply be too expensive since no kid would be willing to eat that expense to rent your place so they would likely opt for base housing or some apartment.

You're definitely right about the hustle, it just isn't viable until you're like an e6 and you have the money to pull it off. Even with bah as an e3 I can't think of too many places where you'd actually have the income to get a home loan, 29 Palms is the only place that comes to mind.

I make almost $30k more as an acqdemo employee over my military officer and snco counterparts. It is just silly to try and claim money as an incentive to stay in, unless you were sitting around jacking off for ~4 years and didn't get your degree or you signed for a shit mos.

>>29902541
I guess there are two of us with the same interest. My case is that I am halfway through school but have run out of money. Original plan was to get a BA and go as an officer and fly rotorwing. But money is saying otherwise

I'm interested in possibly either joining the National Guard, Reserves or Chair force either or.

Why? I have no idea, healthcare, tuition assistance, and training into a job that is non-combat and actually useful.

Just stay away from motor t, generator mech and air conditioners.

Anything in electronics maintenance or tactical data systems is money. USMC network operations is okay but an air force guy would always get hired over you because their school follows comptia curriculum and the marine corps doesn't.

35M will not ever be phased out. From whom did you hear such rabble?

35M may eventually be phased to a higher level job, along the lines of 35L, in order to breed a higher base army knowledge among the mikes. But as it is, most mikes are cross trains and they, frankly, suck dick at the job. And currently we're getting a big push for language, which means we're getting that milky FLPP train without having to stress every day at DLI about losing our jobs or getting kicked out for failing a stupid test administered by people who barely speak English.

>>29904152
>he missed the joke
Not trying to be unfriendly, but seriously /k/, the joke is that i don't smell very well so the constant stench won't be a problem. I still want to know if 19k's a possibility and if not what other MOS is good

>>29903287
35N doesn't do shit in garrison except pretend to fuck around on SIPR and JWICS while avoiding details like a boss, unless you're strat. Because that shit's illegal for you to turn on without NSA approval.

i leave for Army basic in 2 months but my knee has been hurting me
I cant decide if I want to rest it or keep training, I can run 2 miles in like 13:45 minutes. What happens if I push through it and it gets worse at boot? Will they tell me to go home, or will the let me rest it and restart?

>>29903429
35G, 35M, 35F, 35N, 35P, and 35T are all entry level MOS.

>>29904189

My bad, I'm at work and switching between like fifteen different windows.

To add to my previous post - if your damage sense of smell was due to some type of surgery or injury then you have to report it.

I meant to state that having a damaged sense of smell doesn't disqualify you from anything so there is no reason to lie about it and risk getting kicked out for fraudulent enlistment.

>>29904168
35M and 35L will be the same job within 10 years, screencap this post

Probably because it is a stupid and misleading "joke," it implied that were you making a statement about lying during your processing rather than you just trying to be funny.

This is an information thread so when someone says something stupid or incorrect another person will just chime in to correct it and move on.

We have an open relationship. As long as she doesn't get pregnant then idc. It's better if I can keep her close then her messing around with dudes when I'm away. She might catch something.

>>29904506
Are you trying to get rid of her? It's difficult enough if you ship off and you rarely get to go home and see her. If she joins too then you'll have a nightmare trying to get leave at the same time. It's a high risk enough that she'll cheat on you if the stays home, if she's in the armed forces too then you'll have a 100% guarantee of cheating and everything will go to shit.

It's not likely at all that you'll end up being in the same place. It won't be a boyfriend-girlfriend adventure.

She WILL catch something anyway with the lifestyle she has. An open relationship is a risky game. Not everybody has good sexual hygiene, man. You're fucked up. I took the bait. I fucked up here.

>>29904566
Mostly hookers. She hasn't slept with anyone else as far as I know since we made this arraignment but I wouldn't object to it.

>>29904610

Is she a teenager?

>>29904618
Yeah. She's a senior in high school about to graduate. A nice petite little thang

/k/ truly is the easiest board to troll. there's at least 5 different kinds of bait in this thread alone

>>29904662
Ever been to /m/? Baiting on that board absolutely zero effort.

>>29904644

Obviously. Only two kinds of couples do the open relationship thing. Clueless teenagers who are "so in love" that they can't tell their horny boyfriend not to fucking cheat, and actual 30+ year old adults with the maturity to handle it safely.

You don't have a girlfriend, you have a high school FWB that you fuck when you're back in town from training.

>>29904694
Yeah but /m/ knows that they're manchildren, /k/ hasn't figured it out yet

P.S. do we have any 68Ws in here? What does it take to get onto a fixed/rotary wing as a flight medic?

if you deploy anyways or go light youll be doing sme or similiar shit anyways.

Hey guys, I stopped researching enlistment for a while and recently started again. Does trying to enlist in the AF with a 1-3 specific jobs in mind still get you laughed out of recruitment offices? Basically, is it anymore possible to get a specific job or should I go army for that?

man up and commit if you like her this much dude. "Open relationship" my ass, you just want an excuse to pretend you could sleep with anyone you want. Especially if the girls you cheat on her with are mostly hookers why the fuck is it worth it.

Either you like her enough and want to commit or you don't. In both scenarios getting her to join with you is a bad idea though.

enlist, get your degree while active duty or most of it, go to OCS

How much time do you have before you leave? You can easily drop 10-15 pounds in a couple months.

summer vacation in May? I swear, its getting earlier every year

>>29904905
You don't pursue a military science degree in ROTC, you just take it as an elective

You can do whatever degree you want. It's easily the best way to become an officer (unless you're an autist and love academies).

>>29904932
less than a month. I'm more worried about my runs and pushups and sit ups than my weight. MEPS and my recruiter said keep it under 215 and I'm straight

tell yourself what you will man, I'm pretty detached from your situation as a random stranger on the internet who will never meet either you or said "cock holster."

If you actually think she'll benefit from enlisting then i guess power to you both, I wouldn't really recommend it for most (if not all girls) from what I know.

Where are you guys from?

>>29904930
Your daily reminder that prior service officers are usually worse officers than their TIS peers (not rank peers), and they're more likely to get forced out prior to retirement.

I want to do this, but I've heard mixed things from my high school friends that enlisted in the Navy. They basically told me there was no guarantee I'd ever get to take classes, either on shore or at sea, and that makes me hesitant.

>>29904945
I may have read my college's ROTC page wrong. Yeah, I've heard people say that too. Ideally I'd like to have a degree that's applicable in the civilian world. By the way, how badly does having a non-science degree fuck you in trying to be an officer in the armed forces? I'm officially going for a B.S. in Multimedia Journalism.

>>29904978
i'd rather prior enlisted officers over academy officers anyday

>>29905005
Army

>>29905024
Your degree is literally just a piece of paper.

>>29905048

What MOS?

Also, for your pushups, make sure your hands are a little wider than shoulder width, but in line with your shoulders. Incorrect for can actually fuck with your pushups a decent amount.

>>29905033
It's nice that you have a preference, but ROTC is still a better career choice for the officer.

Besides, you're probably doing what all enlisted do and comparing rank peers instead of TIS peers.

Hey guys, I want to do OST. Is it true there is a bias that leans on engineering degrees?

I'm working on one currently (Electrical), but I have a shit GPA (2.7), am I fucked.

I SHOULD'VE POLI-SCI'd THEN FLY'd

>>29905051
I almost thought that was a shot at the degree program(maybe it is) but upon some more reading it doesn't seem to matter TOO much if you take physics/calculus classes in college. Any confirm/deny is welcome

>>29905232
What the hell are you talking about. In the army and marines, you degree doesn't matter unless you're a doctor.

Do we really not have any 68Ws of any flavor in here? Aspiring flight medic, already got my basic. What do I do/say to get them to send me to flight medic school, assuming I get the MOS?

>>29905274

Pretty much every service gives you a positive adjustment on their OML for having a STEM degree. However, STEM degrees tend to lag behind non-STEM degrees in GPA, so you might not even break even.

>>29903701
What about Marine Corps OCC? anyone got anything to say?

>>29903283
So if were going ARNG 19D to get thru college and get some slick benefits would I be fucked? It looked like something I wouldnt mind as a weekend job.

Seriously, what is sailor life like in something like emergency response, support & logistics or food service & hospitality?

Has anyone done the Simultaneous Membership Program for Army ROTC? I am starting at GSU in the fall and I am wondering if it is worth it. For the record I am on HOPE and need a part time job to make ends meet. Any advice would be nice.

>>29905626

If you're going to be a part-timer then your MOS matters a lot less since you probably won't do it anyways. Just be aware you don't get all the sweet Active Duty bennies that guy mentioned when you're in the National Guard.

>>29905626

Nope. Totally reasonable path to follow.

i got an asvab score of 93 and 137, what does this mean?
what might the 137 have been?

>>29905377
50/50 chance you're a bedpan technician as a 68W. Ye be warned.

>>29905792
Be more specific. I assume you mean 97 AQFT and 137 GT. AFQT is like your overall score, you did better than 97% of other people. GT is general technical which is a sub area comprised of different sections (ie math, mechanical). You need a 110 gt to get the highest level jobs in the military iirc

Is it realistically possible for me to finish my Bachelors while enlisted? I dropped out for financial reasons half way through my junior year.
Considering Coast Guard Maritime Law Enforcement or Air Force Security Forces.
Also can I enlist as a reservist and then voluntarily transition to active duty shortly after?

A while ago somebody posted a good book about learning land nav with a map and compass
Im leaving for basic in a month and wanna get some practice in the right way, anybody rec any guides on this?

>>29905846
i don't know what the scores were from, i didn't see the paper, but i'm pretty sure the 93 was AFQT but i have no idea what it was.
i'm supposed to see my recruiter again late next week or early the week after.

i want to get an 18x but i doubt i'll get that , no hs diploma and i was arrested twice before but both cases were dismissed.

i was that guy asking how to fill out my forms(waivers) last week.

>>29905919

>Is it realistically possible for me to finish my Bachelors while enlisted?

People do it all the time. Easier with the jobs you described at they *generally* have predictable hours.

>Also can I enlist as a reservist and then voluntarily transition to active duty shortly after?

Not in this day and age.

>>29905902

>>29903171
Sappers are just engineers with better explosives training. As far as I know there isn't a Marine equivalent to Army Sappers. The army got rid of all dozen Infantry MOS's about 15 years ago and now there are only 2 enlisted infantry MOS's, rifleman or mortarman. It's not specified anymore like the Marine Corps is. You can be an 11B (rifleman) and be a rifleman, machine gunner, mech crewman, ect.

>>29905996
exact opposite

>>29903230
>>29903256

My thoughts exactly. I also love when cherry grunts call me a POG and I have more time in combat than they do in the Army.

>>29905817
Right, so I've been told. But what's the actual uh process for applying for flight medic school? I know they want a year of practice and such, I read link related.

By the way, I am wholly unexperienced with the military outside of the very basics. I am doing this because I love emergency medicine and this seems to present a great opportunity, or at least free school afterwards.

>>29905996
