Whats up, I'm Josh.

(hi josh)

Anyway, I just turned 17 on Christmas, and because of this, I will be able to fufill my dream that I've had since I was a youngin. Today I am giving the National Guard recruiter my ap. Most likely I'll be going to MEPs next wed. and thrus. Basic training will then follow, assuming I pass MEPs, this summer. I've always wanted to do Military, and in thepast couple years I decided on ARMY. Then recently I decided to get a head start and join National Guard. I'll be doing 11B and specializing with SAWs and 240B(?). The recruiter has already got the position that I'll fall in under, and put me under machinegunner, but I'm making him put this in writing and sign because its the best one outta the four he could've gave me. I know most of you don't know me personnaly, but I figured I'd share. I knw turbohcar(sp?) is also in the military, but didn't know the branch.

So thats my story. Wish me luck.

Not too late to do the right thing and go in the Air Force, unless you rather not have the best facilities, the best training, and the greatest oppertunities for career placement once your enlistment is over. Being a gunner sounds so bad assed and all, but exactly what does that translate into once your out? Not a damn thing.

Heres a thought, go speak with a recuiter for the IL Air National Gaurd, and see what oppertunities are available, like say SATCOM/Wideband system maitenance, that pays 50k a year starting here in Illinois, and 150k in Germany...

If shooting is your thing, the ILANG has a pistol and rifle team, that pays it all, and supplies you the weapons.

Your call. Make your training something you can use. Your choice gunner.

Thats ok, ARMY is my thing. I don't want a job in the Air force, nothing agaisnt the because they are still fighting for the country, I'm more of an ARMY guy. What does it translate into? Cop maybe, or heck, even more years in the military. Also this is paying for my college where I can learn a skill, it will pay for a tech school. It's more for the experience that it is for my future. This is always something I've wanted to do. Also your comment about making tons of money: Although everyone would like to be rich, "Matthew [19:23-24] I swear to you, it is very difficult for the rich to enter Heaven’s domain. And again I tell you, it’s easier for a Camel to squeeze through a needle’s eye than for a wealthy person to get into God’s domain." (Yes I'm a religious person, and no I don't want this turning into a "But you have to "kill" people in the ARMY, are you prepared for that" thread.)

But thanks for the advice.
