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.

WOW. I wish you the best of luck, it's your life. But as an ARMY brat and the son of a Lt. Colonel, I have to say my piece. The ARMY is not well supported, here or overseas. My pops came back from Iraq needing to have arthroscopic surgery on his knee, and they made him pay for it. He was supposed to be gone for 90BOG (90 days boots-on-ground) and returned after 18+ months. Even as a well-ranked officer his living quarters were horrible, and he was allowed 3 phone call per week, which he often never got. Please understand that my opinions are not based wholly subjectively, that there are many hundreds of peoples' opinions reflected here.

I know there are some military people on here, and I respect the living hell out of them. I just personally feel there are far better ways to accomplish what you want to do. Please be prepared for what you're getting into.

Good luck, stay safe, Godspeed.
