I have an IQ of 123 but enlistment seems like the only option

>>33235858
Not if your the kind of person who thinks IQ is important. They will probably be right for not liking you.

>>33235858

are you being ironic quoting your IQ?

>>33235858
Ok. A few things to consider.
123 is not that special. Get over yourself.
Unless you go POG, those "neanderthals" will be your boys. A medic has to respect his guys and earn their respect, or he is nothing.
A good medic is a gunfighter first. Prevention>cure, and sometimes prevention means killing the people trying to kill your boys.

TLDR You sound like an arrogant, lazy prick. You will likely wash out.

OP here,

I just watched some videos of "recruit training" and it features some neanderthals bare knuckle boxing. I don't think I could handle such barbarism, I mean I am more than physically capable of holding my own against a mouth breathing bare knuckle boxer, it's just the utter barbarism and primitivism of the act that stumps me. How can one be an effective soldier when he thinks using his naked fists against a friendly is a good idea? Barbarians.

123 isn't all that great, my friend. Also, name-calling before you even get in probably isn't your best move. Thinking that you're better then them is an even worse move.

Do yourself a favor, and don't enlist. You're one of those fuckups who makes jibes all the time about how fucking booksmart he is, but can't start a fucking fire without a lighter and can't read a fucking map no matter how much he's taught to.

Oh, and that bullet you wind up eating in Basic because it's too much for your big ol' brain to handle? Just make sure to angle it towards the roof of your mouth, don't deepthroat it.

If IQ means anything to you then go SF. 110 on ASVAB and a GT of 90 is required.

Considering you will all be fuckups for whom enlistment was the only option you'll have a lot more in common than you think Mensaboy.

>>33235858
I'm pretty fucking smart, at least according to the guys in my unit. I just think I'm a functioning autist that knows a lot of useless stuff, but I digress.

Medics carry. This isn't Hacksaw fucking Ridge. Not to mention, if you're already looking down on the people you'll be serving with, people who have been in longer than you and may have deployed, you're not gonna get along with them.

If you're "too smart to enlist," then don't.

>>33235885
This. Attitude is way more critical than aptitude in this arena and you are already coming in retarded regardless of asvab score. Dont be a dick and share what little useful knowledge you have and I guarantee you will have to learn a bunch of shit you dismissed as unimportant. I was almost you but thank god I went in in my mid 20's after realizing achievement tops intelligence. So assuming you are in the 90's band shut the fuck up pay attention and remember no matter how dumb you may think they are they are still the upper half of the country.

I've an IQ over that and am doing quite well. The other troops may not ever accept me as one of their own but I am getting top notch evaluations and have my college out of the way.

My shirt (first shirt if you don't know what that is please look it up) has taken ear to some of my ideas. I've been painting murals to boots morale and have made a point to try to get in as many clubs and volunteer as much as possible as well.

I don't really see my squad mates much as a result.

I got a high score as well, and I'm pretty fucking retarded. I'm pretty sure the iq test was originally formulated for autistic people, so maybe a high score just means you're a high functioning autist, which would explain op's score as well.

>>33238343
The fact that you know that you're not very smart kind of puts you ahead of a lot of people who, thanks to the self-esteem movement, think they are smarter than they are.

Knowing your limits is a good thing. Trying to do something that is beyond your limits (especially when you don't know it and everyone insists you're smart) can have genuinely catastrophic results.

>>33240103
Right now I'm working on my associates in nursing for job security, but in the long run I'm probably going to go for becoming a psychiatric nurse-practitioner. I've considered med school but I'm not the biggest fan of becoming a glorified pill dispenser, and I really like the holistic approach nursing takes towards patient care. And if I went the clinical phd route for psych I would have to wait even longer before entering the workforce after I've already wasted so much time with the military and school. Guns are expensive and I can't really buy many if most of my money is going towards tuition.

Hmm if you dont mind shit hours it is easy to get in for NY Office of Mental Health (state or city but generally recommend state) and their union will go out of their way to cover nursing school. That said go treatment assistant (any level) over the lpn position

>>33240276
Why would I want to live in New York, though? Their gun laws are even worse than the hellhole I live in now, and I'm fairly certain even having talked to a therapist gets you barred from owning guns in NY.

>>33240341
That is the downside of readily available jobs in the Northeast that pay worth a damn. That said if you go for treatment out of state their ability to do anything drops off the map. Still safe act sucks so have plans to store out of state if you want to keep it legal. PA has some opportunities but the pay is utterly shit and DE is nightmare fuel for working conditions. NJ is like NY but with fewer job protections or cost of living increases

Not for everyone but like the military if you are disciplined and go in with a plan and stick to it you can come through with a lot more than you started with. I moved from Delaware so I had to give up a lot of rights initially so believe me I know where you are coming from.
