You've been playing too much Call of Duty or Battlefield. All the respect for those in the military but it ain't so great. You could end up in a wheelchair or have PTSD. There's a few people build for this but it surely ain't robots.

This is the cringiest thread I've yet to see on my many years of 4chan.

Here's a little guide for your average robot looking to join the army from a cyborg US infantry veteran:

The military, and espeially the infantry, is a completely different kind of culture from anything youve likely experienced. "Chad" and "robot" as you imagine it does not exist. Your social standing is 90% competency based.

This could be a good or a bad thing for your average robot. If you are a weak willed pussy prone to fucking up and slow to learn, you will be treated much worse in the infantry than would even be legal in most facets of civilian life. Those guys often get kicked out in basic or early in their contract, but your life is going to be hell until they find a way to get rid of you.
On the other hand, if you are an alright dude with no social skills, youre probably going to like the military. Nobody cares that you're a sperg as long as you do your job, and you have guaranteed government issued friends to hang out with.

Example: There was a guy in my first platoon that described himself as 10-15% gay, lost his virginity at an asian massage parlour off base, had never masturbated until he joined the army and someone told him how, and has long conversation with his mother and no-one else on facebook statuses. Everyone teased him, of course, but none of it was malicious because he stayed out of trouble was actually pretty smart and hard working. Conversely, there were a lot of dudes who you would describe as "chads" coming into basic training, and they bullied the "robots" relentlessly, and it was interesting to see the transformation as some of the shitbag chads became the most hated dudes in the company and some of the "robots" faded out of the spotlight or turned out alright.
>>
>>29348647
>head too big for a helmet
They have a wide variety of sizes.
>severe depression
>anything related to weakness
They'll fix that. You probably have nothing to be depressed about anyway.
>scoliosis, hunchback
That won't be much of a problem until it comes to heavy lifting. My spine is crooked and I can't do any lifting involving my back or a get terrible pains.
>>
>>29352094
There is a very, very little chance you are ever going to see combat, much less die in it. Iraq and Afghanistan are all but over.

Normies think the military is dangerous but in reality an 18-24 yo male has a higher rate of death outside the military than in, because no drugs, gang violence, less drunk driving, etc.

If you insist on continuing being a pussy, look at technical jobs, anything intelligence, communications, or maintenance. Especially nuclear technician in the navy, it requires a 90 percentile asvab and it has the reputation as a "robot" job. when you get out you can make money in the civilian world with these skills. Office jobs (human resources, finance admin) wont really give you marketable skills AND they are bitch jobs. Stay away. And for the love of god, dont let the recruiter rope you into cook or laundry specialist. A lot of people do it just for the benefits cause they thinks its easy, its long days as a glorified fast food worker, zero respect from anyone, and surrounded by black people.

if youre not a pussy and want an actual military experience, then as far as you are concerned there are two jobs in the military: Infantry and Not Infantry. Guess which you should pick.

I joined the navy, pretty good choice for me and as someone else said it's pretty easy for a robot to succeed as long as you can get up on time and work at least a little hard and not fuck up on your off time by getting an alcohol incident.

Money isn't bad either. I had no college and enlisted and made E6 a couple years ago and clear close to 65k with benefits, half of that is tax free allowances.

Sea duty can suck but I'm on three years of instructor duty in San Diego and work from 7:30 to 2:00pm m-Thursday and usually about 3 hours on Friday. Also get paid to work out.

>>29352094
So should I go into the military after i've done some weapons research and training to make sure i'm not going to have a rough time.
>>
>>29352829
LOL no. You should do lots of pushups. Get a 300 on the APFT. Then maybe buy an AR and start practicing. Being able to shoot well or use the weapons well is a tiny part of daily life as an infantryman.
>>
>>29352917
You don't even need to get your own AR, just buy an airsoft rifle or toy with realistic weight and practice aiming with a penny balanced on the flash hider.
>>
>>29352829
No. They'll teach you how to shoot. A lot of guys with weapons experience have to unlearn bad habits during training which is a lot harder than just learning it.
>>
>>29352408

>>29352766
There will be lots of internship and work study opportunities but if you won't take advantage of these, you won't use the army connections either.
That's because either would require you to stop making excuses for staying in your room.
>>
>>29352767
Of course, we need to consider if it's a good idea to put robots in charge of classified information.

Joining the army isn't an option for me as I can't even do a single pushup (I have tried, I know it's pathetic) and can't even run a single mile without having a full body shutdown. I seriously have no idea how someone does more than 20 pushups in one sitting or is able to run several miles without even breaking a sweat. It's fucking insane. I just can't fathom it.
Then again, it may be because I have not exercised a single day in my life and legitimately do not know how to, as well as eat a healthy diet.
I guess I'll have to either become a NEET or kill myself sometime soon.
