Aviation training and certification is excellent, and transfers well to the civilian sector. The downside to aviation is slower advancement, because the aviation rates are so small.

Machinery Technician also has excellent certification (engine repair, HVAC, etc) and the advancement is faster because the MK rate is the second largest rate in the CG.

Medically retired 12 year MSgt here. I knew I wasn't defending anyone's freedoms, and I wasn't saving the world, but I did know that I did the best I could to be a rock in the lives of my fellow soldiers. Both down range and back home, I got to travel to many places, make a lot of friends, and do some humanitarian aide missions as well as combat deployments. I have tried my best to steer my children away from joining and give them a better chance at being a part of society than I had.

The military is a business, it is no longer a profession of arms in the basic sense that it was, but a strong arm for corporations. Oddly enough, I am 100% ok with that fact, if it benefits this country's economy by conquering more availability and power to better the quality of lives in the US, that is just fine in my opinion.

I have met both the best people in my life in the military, and the absolute worst. I have seen true courage and bravery, but also cowardice and malingering.

The hardest part about being in the military, is getting out and adjusting to civilian life. As a SNCO I had the ability to govern a lot that went on in my life, but as a civilian I do a lot of shut up and color. It's a rough change at first.

>>130553213

I joined the British Army when I was just out of school in 2005. Youthful stupidity and saltiness over 9/11, Madrid and 7/7 is what motivated me.

Even though you might just end up being used in a pointless sandbox war, although not too much if you're in the navy. I'll always recommend joining the military. Its like a rite of passage for any man worth his salt.

You'll always have an air of superiority over any civvies, even when you end up just a normal career after leaving service. If you live in non-militaristic countries ( like I do) or a liberal city, people will genuinely respect you out of fear more than anything else because they think you will be able to kill them. You can also LARP the PTSD thousand yard stare to freak people out too from time to time and then get pissy when they ask about what you did or saw.

I'm hated by my family and most of my childhood friends for joining a foreign military but its still been worth it for the skills, confidence and experiences I got to have which help me still to this day.

>>130555654
News flash you shit packing liberal faggot, Israel gets funding from our government completely separately from our own military spending. Even if we slashed our military budget by 100%, the Israeli funding wouldn't be touched. It's state department money, not DoD.

Also, if our country is a Israeli puppet we're the worst fucking puppet because everything we've done over the past 15 years has put Iran into a stronger place, which is the exact opposite of what the Isrealis want.

>>130568780
you need to actually have an interest in the medical field, don't do this as a proxy to get into the Marine Corps without having to do the hard part. You'll end up disappointed with only kind of getting to do what you really want.

>>130569815
Or just wait a little while and try them all again, their needs change quite frequently, so they often lower or higher their standards.

>>130553213
Besides all the fags, seriously, why didn't you pick up LT? even if you were a five-n-diver from the factory, you should've picked up 03..

OCS? CSPI? Direct Commission?

btw.. anyone going enlisted.. just ask the recruiter which rating has the highest retention rates.. yup. duck scrubbers.

>>130568780
Everyone wants to be a corpsman so you gotta be pretty lucky to get it. Plus since its so full your chances of advancment are very slim

I worked in Site Ravenrock in S. PA. It's mostly just an AT&T switching station these days, but it used to be alternate White House site. I think Dick Cheney went there after 9-11 (I was already out of the Army, working at Wendy's for $7.25/hr). Anyway, they had a command and control room w/this big fucking scoreboard on the wall...like a 60's era H.S. football scoreboard. To see it in person, you had think that the idiots who designed this place took their cues from Dr. Strangelove.

It was in one of the four story buldings (4 of them in total) that were built in these giant man-made caverns (in addition to two huge water sisterns). They had shock absorbers, like you'd see on an old 50's era car (though much larger). Inside there were barracks, a hospital, four dining facilities, a gym, barbershop, shopette and an "automat" (place where you could buy food from various machines). Everything was painted a mint green color...made me sick. There were two Air Force master sergeants (or whatever the fuck an E-8 is in the AF) who were pretty cool; they ran this commo wing in one of the buildings. You couldn't get in there w/out them letting you, so I'm sure it was a lot like "The Falcon and the Snowman." They used to bring us 70's and 80's Playboys that they kept in a locker in the back (toss off material for end times). I'd be sitting there at one of the guard desks, desperately trying to see pussy lips through deep pyle carpeting. Good times.

Of course intentianally depriving soldiers in the hopes they have psychosis induced symptoms or end up committting suicide isnt illegal, especially in theater, so its used as a sick method of authority control.

You can still join up to 32, they just raised the age limit because they are trying to fill positions. Engineering background would be a plus, and because you have a degree you start at E-3.

Or you can join the reserve and fuck around, that's that I originally looked at.

>>130588110
They're cutting airborne and light brigades and creating mech brigades because we're scaling down on our Afghanistan commitment and returning to a Cold War era military. All the NTC/JRTC rotations for some time have focused on fighting a war that looks like the liberation of Ukraine from the Russians.

Ultimately they're going to regret it because mech units are expensive as fuck and have limited capabilities. Leg units are cheap as fuck but they can be stood up relatively quickly.

>>130588856
we need power armor for mechanised foot brigades, not only because we need a half-step between foot and mech units, but because it'd be cool to hear their diesels running like the industrial version of a roman legion over cobblestone
