Just saw a marine recruiter today, took a little pre asvap test thing. shot the shit with him for a little and throughout the conversation we talked about my interest in the computer field of things.

So I told him about how many hours a week I use my desktop and he asked me if I >browsed 4chan.

I said yeah but lurking mostly for several years.

>he starts talking about "dank memes" and "spicy pepe's".

what the fuck is going on???????????????????????????????????

WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU JOINING THE MARINES IF YOU'RE INTERESTED IN COMPUTERS
I just got done speaking with my Air Force recruiter and scheduled for MEPS

I just let him do the talking, he told me AF physical is a joke and the only actual roiders are try hards. Everything about the AF is shorter, better for less physical activity and more career oriented.

For fucks sake man unless you're a meathead don't go through 13 week BMT with fucking assholes and even less guarenteed to stay doing your given job.
>>
The recruiter will tell you all about how great life is in the military. You will travel the world, get free college, make 35k. Bullshit, you'll spend your life in some shitty fort/camp in the middle of bumfuck Germany or some other UN shithole. Also marines are the first to die, literally cannon fodder tier. The few the proud cause the majority got blown up and shredded with bullets trying to take the first town.

All recruiters will twist the truth. It's what they do.

That said, AF is a solid move if you're looking to break into IT. They'll pay for your cert tests, give you job experience, and hook you up with sweet clearances for lucrative government contract jobs when you get out.

I was a SSgt in the server administration career field for a six year enlistment if you guys have any questions. Can't really speak much as to what the officer experience is like though.


>>34052182
Pay is shit, yeah, but they'll pay your rent and give you extra money to cover cost of living. Plus there's a lot of free shit like healthcare and tuition fees. It adds up.
>>
>>34052207
My recruiter told me i can ship as early as 3-4 months so guess not
But i don't drink or smoke and I'm clean as fuck with an okay score on the practice (its in the 90s)

Most recruiters want to meet or exceed their quotas. They'll try to trick you in, not out, but I think they're legally required to auto disqualify you for certain things like if you mention you committed a federal crime.

I think a lot of it depends on ASVAB score too? I don't know, when I went through MEPS I had to get a medical waiver because my retinas could apparently detach at any moment and they still pushed me through and I think it might've been because I scored high.

Also keep in mind that the Air Force gets a lot of recruits, but I think they have a higher loss rate too. A lot of the career field translate to well paying civilian jobs so people leave after their first enlistment is up.

You might be okay to join, but that could cause some trouble with the security clearance that a lot of the better jobs require. They're super picky about that stuff.

I think all cyber jobs require eligibility for TS. You might be okay with just a misdemeanor if it happened long enough ago, but I don't know enough about whatever arcane process they use to decide these things.


Also don't go cybersec. It's a meme job and from what I've seen they just run vulnerability scans and dick around with spreadsheets all day. Go cyber transport or cyber ops and then if you want to do cool security stuff, transition to 1B.
>>
>>34052999
You won't be allowed to touch a computer to do anything more than word docs without a clearance in the military.

Secret clearance isn't so bad, but to be honest I'm pretty sure they're going to dq you for the drug charges.
>>
>>34052833
Oh I see. I honestly didn't expect my recruiter to be as helpful as he was, was just sliding paperwork past me and came up with a date for MEPS as soon as I asked how soon I can go. He even told me to gain to make sure I don't get DQed for being too close to cutoff weight.

I did however tell him I wasn't going reserves and wanted a full time military career. Not sure what to believe anymore since he did warn me about another recruiter who DQs people for any little thing.

>>34052839
If you got arrested for it there's no merit. But excuse me, just being a loser.

>>34052964
Probably depends on his recruiter but what recruiter wants to do more paperwork? I know they do a phone call and ask you questions who knows if they will not even allow you to explain what the arrest was aboot. He will have an easier time joining another branch

They have to disqualify you for certain things. I know one guy got DQ'd because he mentioned that he used to throw rocks at trains or some stupid shit and apparently that's a federal crime so that was it.

They're certainly not going to disqualify you for wanting to go active duty over reserves though.
>>

So are you reenlisting after or what lol

My dad was a huge fuckup in the military and they didn't kick him out. Drug use, drunkenness, you name it. But this is a little different since he served in Vietnam, though I'm pretty sure they won't kick you out/dq you if you clean your shit up.

>>34053190
I don't think a misdemeanor is a deal breaker for joining. Try Air Force. Study for the ASVAB and ace it. You might be able to get a med job which I've heard are the chillest in the service.

And if that doesn't work out, the Army will pretty much take anyone.
>>
>>34053320
It's a 5 year old misdemeanor arrest and there was no conviction/charge since I'm super cool like that

I don't do drugs (or even drink) anymore and all I want to do is just be productive

>sex offenders can get a job (and probably enlist) no problem
>I have to jump through hoops just for a chance at an interview or at maybe being considered for enlistment

really made me think

>>34053350
I was oreganolly considering a medical job but I've been super discouraged lately finding out that the DoD/.mil will be super picky with me no matter how high I score on the ASVAB

my friend scored a 97 on his "practice" test, and him and I are more or less equal on intelligence, so I'm hoping I could score at least a mid 80

Women scream rape for every little thing and brainwash children to lie too. Hello?? I'm sure it is rare for a legitimate sex offender to want to join the military. I say rare not meaning 3 or 4, but that unfortunate hundreds of thousands.

Honestly I'm overall sympathetic towards men today. Plus you can get caught naked somewhere and get registered.

But drugs or lets say drunk driving drunk violence are just the worst traits for military men. You gonna drink if you get deployed somewhere full of hijabs and better to not hurt yourself or others.
>>

you probably won't get let it. it would only take 5 seconds to go in and ask though. I was in a similar situation like you where i had a drug charge but was never convicted but they didn't let me in.

Okay before you talk to a recruiter its good you're here. I posted for help here before I spoke to mine. Result? I said NOTHING and that was that.

Best advice is to say nothing and answer NO the questions are extremely generic. When they call you say no to everything. If you wear glasses ir contacts don't even fucking explain why you wear them. Be vague or say no.

But like I said before, they are telling you that if you do lie and withold the truth, make sure it's not on file and that you won't need a TS if it is. But you want computers so you most likely will.

I won't stop you from trying. But once you get DQd from one branch it turns into a YES answer you don't want on your application.

Honestly bro just make sure it's not on record but from what I know, saying yes to almost anything gets you DQ. I was about to say I had some rashes on my hand and I politely got told to "shut up retard just play along" it wasn't even serious and they didn't want me to even bother mentioning it.

Just don't disclose any unnecessary information. Don't ask don't tell, basically.

Unless you're going for a clearance. Then you should disclose. Clearances are handled by a separate federal agency and if you have something on record they will find it. They'll even call up people who knew you in the past and grill them on stuff, so don't risk trying to slip something through. Again that's only for the clearance, which is not required for the vast majority of military jobs.

The interview part was just for the clearance mind you.

For the actual recruitment process, I don't know really know how it works. But keep in mind that literal gang members manage to join the military so it probably isn't too intense.

No that's not even true. Don't know why hipster faggots like you want to pretend people came to our board because of some meme.

Bottom line: Go in, talk to a recruiter, don't lie, but don't disclose unnecessary info. Score well on the ASVAB and be in decent shape.

Also according to
http://www.military.com/join-armed-forces/military-recruiting-process-faqs.html
Nothing you have is grounds for automatic disqualification. It might trip a few flags, but a high ASVAB score can slot you for in demand jobs so they might overlook it.

Do a little research, talk to some current recruiters on a forum or something, and give it a shot.
There's a lot of things I hated about the Air Force, but it's actually a great choice for directionless robots.
