Actually there are plenty of robots in the military. You'd be surprised. People constantly make Uni threads daily and no one seems to realize that military is the robot route. Why the fuck would you want to subject yourself to a sjw, chad, filled university, going from class to class with no friends to talk to, constantly feeling alone in your room while your chad roomate brings his friends and hoes that he fucks in your living quarters that you share Military guys are the real bros. They have a unique type of kinship and are accepting to all. Most of the technician jobs are filled with guys like us, so fuck off cunt.
>>39432708
Good luck anon, are you going in as a Nuke?
I leave for bootcamp October 30th.

>>39432402
Got kicked outa year ago and I want back in

>>39433017
What did you do? Also if you got what I think you got which is a dishonorable discharge, there's no going back in from that, kek.

>>39432916
>subsidizing uni with military
>even considering uni
>not choosing to live at home with mommy dearest

Looks like we found another one

>>39432916
Is that true? The army bros certainly wouldn't take an awkward and weak guy such as me even seriously. I often thought of joining the navy but what are the odds I'll even make it. I'll just disappoint my granddad who's served as major when I get booted from camp

>>39433095
General discharge, couldnt pass pt.

>>39432916
the notion of a robot joining the military may as well qualify as an oxymoron

>job working in intense high stress and life or death situations
>can't even look the cashier in the eye

i can already see me shitting myself when the DI shouts for everyone to stand at attention and the weight of the situation sets in.

i guess a few may be able to make in in the airforce but that would be rare

so fuck off already normie.

>>39433116
>Sorry, but some of us are actually trying to get out of this shit hole. Fuck off to wizchan you self defeating faggot.
>>39433182
You mean the pt at basic training? What did it consist of? I'm interested because I'd like to start training now.
>>39433121
The whole macho man army bro is a meme. The army has it's share of spergs, you'll know when you see them, but it's best to hang out with the Chads if you really wanna grow as a person. The Chad like dudes there are usually really down to earth and aren't assholes.

my mere existence evokes a primal rage in them

>>39432402
Was thinking about it but I'm anemic anorexic and have kidney stones. Army recruiter told me to bring him my medical records but that was in February.

>>39433265
In the army at least, for males my age its 35 push ups, 16:36 2 mile run time and 47 sit ups. I couldn't pass the run and got fucking humiliated every time we did a run.

>>39433218
>the notion of a robot joining the military may as well qualify as an oxymoron
>job working in intense high stress and life or death situations
>t. faggot who knows absolutely NOTHING about the military.

I understand where your coming from. When most people think of military the first thing that comes to mind is front line battles with guns and death. If you actually did some research instead of talking out of your ass which clearly you've never done, you'd know theres much more than that.
Navy technician jobs are the most comfiest and robot tier military jobs. They're far from "high stress" or "life or death". For example, crypto techs literally sit in an office with air condition monitoring servers. They're literally the navys hackers and any robot who isn't a complete dumb ass is capable of doing this job.

>>39433368
>not a complete fucking dumbass
>robot

choose one

>>39433345
Holy shit that's horrible. I can do the pushups and the sit ups, but I really gotta practice my run. For navy you gotta do a 1.5 miles run in under 12:30.

>>39433402
>all robots are dumbasses
Care to back up that claim, otherwise I'll assume the source for said claim is your unwashed asshole. And when I said anyone who isn't a complete dumbass I mean academically, not socially. I think it already goes without being said that most robots are dumb asses when it comes to responding well to social cues and shit like that.

what's serving in the Supply Corps like?

>>39433501
You cannot be a robot if you have graduated high school and/or have an IQ of over 100 desu

>>39433939
Whether you're a robot or not isn't defined by academic achievements. Nice try though buddy. In fact most spergs are the ones with the high IQ's, normies are the ones with the low IQ's, which explains why spergs are much more self aware.

>>39433439
that depends on certain commands. Instructor at subscol shore duty requires excellent average PFA scores now. thats 72 pushups, 90 some situps and a sub 10:30 mile and a half.
bare minimum scores will look like shit on evals and youll lock yourself out of certain shore duties.
RDC requires outstandings on all of it of course.

Definitely worth it, doesnt take much desu. Today was mandatory fun day at subbase in new london, I got to go kayaking for free, and a chief select being hazed during initiation washed my car while I got gas.

A lot of robots could make it, but i also see a lot of you guys in the faces of the students bitching out over stupid shit, like the wet trainer or not waking up for duty muster.
Hit or miss, but if any homo here is hoping to make it in the navy, it'll only be nuke, since they ignore pfa scores for them and everyone expects them to be dorkasses.

Oh, and AMA about submarines or SECF

>>39432402

first truly good thread I've seen here in more than a week

Who /Air Force/ here? I'm surrounded by Chads and normies. Some of them are pretty nice but I have yet to encounter a fellow robot around here.

>>39434142

so what's it actually like serving in a submarine

It's easier than you think anon. You'll work at it throughout basic training. I was a weak lanklet who could barely do 20 pushups at first, and now I exceed the requirements. You'll be surprised how far you can get if you push yourself.

I'd join but i'm severely weak and super fucking retarded so I probably couldn't even pass the ASVAB.
Let alone having to get yelled at by DI chad while being surrounded by Chads and being excluded and becoming everyones bitch on the first day.
Yeah no, fuck that. I don't care what you say, the military is for fucking Chads. No robot is going to last a second in that kind of environment. They could barely even survive high school.

>>39434394
awesome, and depends on the job. everyone thinks their rate is the most important and most fun. I am an an ET nav

most of the equipment you work with or on is classified or secret. google what you can, but until A school you wont learn much.
Youll do a lot of cool stuff.

>>39434508
When I went through basic a lot of the guys were actually really helpful and encouraging to me. I still got made fun of but it wasn't as bad as you think. They obviously knew I was a socially awkward weirdo but a lot of them were still nice for the most part. It's not like Full Metal Jacket or something.

And of course you get yelled at a lot but you get used to it.

>>39434635
But what if you just got lucky though? What if I get put in with a bunch of assholes?

I'd like to start a military career after college. It's completely different to what I'll be studying, but it sounds fun and interesting. The air force in particular, but the navy sounds good too. I just don't want to be a ground soldier.

>>39434662
he was lucky. the only reason a robot would join the military other than having brain washed notions of honor and glory would be to escape their parents shaming them

Depression reared its head, got kicked out of rtc, can't joine ever again, want to though.

Desu I joined because I had no other options left. I flunked out of college, I can't get a normal job, and my parents weren't going to let me live with them as a NEET for much longer.

>>39435309
Good luck anon. It's going to suck but you can do it. I wish I had had a fellow robot with me when I went through it.

>>39433017
>>39433182
Same situation. Seriously bros is it even possible to get back in?

If you're even eligible to join the military (i.e. haven't been diagnosed with a crippling mental illness or autism or other disability which are permanent disqualifiers) you're not a robot, period. Get out

>>39435369
I'm autistic and I still got in. The recruiter didn't even ask. I get made fun of for being quiet and socially awkward but that's as far as it goes.

>>39435506

If you weren't officially medically diagnosed (which absolute WOULD BAN YOU FOR LIFE) then you're not actually autistic sorry. Trust me when you're an actual robot you're forcefully taken against your will, medicated, and given a permanent life-altering stigma that stays on your record forever and yes the military has access to it

>>39435628
They really don't look into your records unless you're into a classified kind of job. Otherwise, it's not hard for an autist or some kind of mentally ill person to get in. They'll accept anyone as long as you pass the test and you're not an obese sack of shit.

>>39435628
You have no idea what you're talking about my man. When I went through basic a guy had a psychotic breakdown and it was only after this that they found out he had a history of mental illness. Another guy got kicked out for depression. Same thing. He had a history but they only found out after he was already in and started acting depressed.

>>39435628
>having the autist pass

almost as good as having a pussy pass your loosly considered a robot

>>39434394
>>39434631
That faggot is wrong. Being on a submarine is the most depressing thing you can do and it's fucking boring. By the time you're done getting shit on and get your quals all figured out you realize that there's nothing to do except jack off and watch movies. The work isn't hard though as long as you're not agang.

>>39437010
>Finishing quals ever
Why aren't you EWS qualled nub

>>39432402
I've been in the Navy for 1.5 years. Haven't been out to sea yet, but I'm attached to a submarine.

It's not bad.

>>39432402
I wanted to join, but I got denied at MEPS for my shitty astigmatism

I have served in the air force for 2 years now, I was a lonely khv before, and still a loser khv now. they house you, feed you and give you clothing, its nice in that sense, you go to work, go home eat, shower, and bullshit for a few hours, then go back and do it all again, all while your are getting older and rotting away, it hurts pretty bad.

im a militarybot, besides the occasional chad, I feel that this is where I belong, My taking things too literally and attention to little things makes me good at what I do

>>39433121

you need to join the more autistic branches like the air force or coast guard, literal weebs and autists

>>39433116
going to online UNI is great, i basically shitpost, write some papers and eventually I get a degree, all becasue "im military and its hard to go to a physical school"

>>39433218

I had a DI yell at me and ask if I spoke english and i sperged out... but the life and death situations arent bad (i actually enjoy the life/death situations more than human interaction with civies)

also I havent talked to a single person outside my unit in 6 years, I usually just sit in my barracks room and lurk /k/

>>39437993
That's what I do now anyway, what's the downside?

>>39435354
Thanks, I'm hoping the suck is quick
Is it easy to make friends in your Flight?

>>39438069
What are your lifts up and then your downs.

>>39438145
>????

also had someone in my boot camp trying to tell people that traps weren't gay ( i joined one of the more autistic branches)

>>39438109
Not much really, the job I have is dirty, hot, and loud, and people tell you what to do, so that could be a downside if you dont like that.

>>39438207
What are your lifts?
origano

>>39438207
Well does he suck da benis with his eyes closed. I think it aint gay then.

>>39438125
Not really, when I went to BMT the flight was filled with a bunch of shithead asshole straight out of high schoolers that thought they were hot shit.

>>39438230
>>39438207
How many kgs do you lift for: squat, bench press, deadlift, etc?

>>39438230

I lift bare minimum so I can pass the fitness test (mostly low weight, high reps), I autistically run (like forest gump) and basically do marathons, its nice because people compliment me on my ability to run

also it helps explain why i never interact with my peers or go to bars (and it hides my KHV power level) if oyu dotn drink or do drugs, you are leaps and bounds above most people in the military

>>39438307
h ah a h a ha he

>>39438291

fitness tests are based on body weight and carrying things, I dont know of any instance where i had to bench or deadlift

>>39438252
at least its only 8 weeks then
any luck when you went operational?

>>39438351
>>39438307
I'm just surprised you don't know at least your bench press. Other ways to build muscle though so if you can pass the tests, whatever.

>Can't 420 blaze it
Pretty much the only reason I don't join, and the fact that any science related jobs needs a Master degree while I only have a BS

>>39438372

I don't bench, I just do pushups, I started out by doing 15 every morning when I woke up/ go to bed (before I joined), and then sets of 25 throughout the day and morning/ night, then I worked my way up to 100 every morning when I wake up

>>39438535

I'm not an autist I'm schizophrenic

SECF? Never heard of that one before. I'm going in as an AECF. Also, will they seriously not allow you into certain shore commands because you have a shitty PFA? That's so mean anon! Which PFA do they look at, the one from A school or the one from boot camp. Also I heard that AECFs will be on carriers for he most part so would it even matter? How can I run faster? I really need to get my run time down. It's bad. Like REALLY bad...

>>39438207
>also had someone in my boot camp trying to tell people that traps weren't gay ( i joined one of the more autistic branches)
I too joined the Navy

>>39432402
I already work through meps so I will tell y'all about Navy and Navy requirements as well as asvab information.
>physical requirements
I am 130lbs and 5"10 and was suitable for joining (I didn't have to gain/lose weight to make the cut) so consider those parameters.
>asvab info
They will make you take a practice asvab. I scored a 55 after not being in school for a year after graduation and got a 79 on the actual test. The best jobs are (in order) Intelligence jobs, Engineer based jobs, and Legalman (law stuff), (journalist based), and Personnel Specialist (recruiting type stuff). Most other things are going to be shitty.
>how is meps
All it is is following directions. It's not hard. If you don't know where you are, just ask for directions. Plenty of robot types and mentor types in the military.
>physical requirements for boot camp
Something like 45 push-ups and 50 sit ups in certain time constraints like a few minutes. I will lay out meps information next, as well as pitfalls.

Canadian Air Force, 10 times better than being a NEET or a uni student.

Day 1 of Meps (this is for all branches btw. I live in Texas)
So if you are joining in Texas you will go to a hotel called Crowne something. The first day is "Processing". You will go to a meps facility/building. Your recruiter will drop you off and you will go to the second floor building and turn right. Do not pick up one of those notebook thingies just sign your name and sit and wait. They will do asvab confirmation testing. You will answer some quick medical questions then eventually you will be assigned a seat in a special testing room. Have an id, social secruity card and any documents they give you on your person at ALL TIMES. Even on day 2. Once you go to take the test, be patient with the computers they most likely are not broken but slow. It processes your score immediately. So three minute wait? Btw they'll hand you a key for your locker by the elevators put that in your pocket. I forgot what happens after testing but basically you move around the building with paperwork the whole time. Do not be afraid to walk with your fellow applicants for guidance on your way to where you must be. Floor 3 has a control desk where they can help you. At the end of the day you will sit in a room and wait for a shuttle. Wait for the shuttle instead of your recruiter for your convenience. It's about 30 min drive just relax. The waiting room time for me was a half hour as well but some guy had paperwork problems and was left at the meps facility for 2 hours. They will do a small briefing with liaisons there two black people an older man and a nice lady. Both were black. There is pool, call of duty, and tv. Eventually they will hand you room information. Ask for help if you need to but it has directions. Even I needed help.

>>39432402
I'm currently trying to join the navy because the army won't take me

>>39439623
Why wont the army take you and what rates are you looking at in the navy?

>>39439619
Cont.
Day 1
You will meet your roommate once you get there it will be the same gender as yourself so do not worry. He may or may not be in your branch of choice. Lay out some small ground rules and keep your valuables safe. Preferably y'all should be out and in the room at the same times. Be friendly but not clingy. You will have a few hours until briefing time at 4 or something. Dinner is at like 4 or 5. It is your first government paid meal most likely. It was shitty and the hamburger did not have cheese so pick cheese burger and my fries were cold and the tea was not fucking sweet tea assholes. If you forgot any toiletries the gift shop sells that.
8:30 is another briefing, basically it talks about meps and shit but it's not helpful. Curfew is 10. You do get permission to leave the hotel. Cont.

>>39432402
I'm joining the army after college
I considered the navy but decided against it

>>39439303

Do you even need to study at all for the ASVAB? Do commissioned officers take the same test?

What do you know about Officers in Supply/Logistics for Navy?

>>39439785
details
>>39439713
>>39439619
Dude why are you detailing meps as if its big deal?

>>39439713
Day2
You will wake up at 3:45 (phone call in your room) and you will go eat food at 4:00 and leave for meps at 4:15. Drink LOTS of fluids to make the piss test easier and processing quicker. Once you arrive at meps you will do some group things/walking around until the medical part. Do it in this order to be done quickly ok?
>piss test
>eye doctor.
The eye lady got pissy at me and fucked up my exam score because she was in a hurry to finish for the day so do her's quickly.
>ear test/physical
Doesn't really matter but the old ass doctors take so fucking long so go quick so you're not waiting too long.
>blood test
Pretty quickly done.
After that you basically go from the office of your branch back and forth from there and the control desk. They give you lunch after the medical testing so don't worry. Finally, you will pick a job based on your score. If the job you want isn't available, do not sign. You can wait. I'm waiting for Cryptologic Technican to open up. My shipout is March 2018. So pick a date a few months in advance. Unless you don't care. But if the job you want isn't there...

>>39439471
When you say go anywhere, do you mean that I'll get to choose whether I wanna go on a carrier or shore? Also which do you think is better ET or FC? Kinda wanna go FC because I hear FC's on aegis cruisers get re-enlist bonuses. But ET is probably more my style.

>>39439809
No you don't and I think officers do extra testing I'm enlisting so I'm not sure. I think it's the same but to qualify as an officer you have to make certain scores and take another test based on leadership. How long has it been since you were in school so I can help you

i thought you couldnt join the military if you are depressed

>>39439815
Not only did my recruiter give a shitty explanation on meps, most robots are scared about this shit so I'm helping buy explaining it to them so they know what to expect. It is a big deal because the recruiter that they built a relationship with won't be there.

>>39439905
You can lie about it but honestly talk to your recruiter. Don't hide it from your recruiter their job is to get you into the service Meps is supposed to kick you out. Once you answer questions from your recruiter, they'll ask the same questions at meps. Don't tell meps different answers from your recruiter or you will fuck it up. If you can't join because of something they'll stop you at your recruiter

>>39439977
he asked me if i had depression and when i said yes he said it was a deal breaker?

>>39439875
>I wanna go on a carrier or shore?
You arent gonna be chosing shit your first duty station. Most schools give you a dream sheet to fill out when you graduate and you can list your preferences but needs of the navy chooses where you go. Not to mention your chocies will be limited based on your rate and NEC. Basically its completely up in the air and anyone who says different is lying.
>Better
FC easily. Cooler job, bigger bonuses, faster advancement.
>ET more your style
Why do you say this?
>>39439935
Dude if theyre that autistic theyre gonna have a panic attack in boot and get kicked out anyway.

>>39439872
Common pitfalls of Meps.
>lazy ass black ladies
If it has a black lady in it, do it first (medical) because they'll get lazy and impatient the longer it takes.
>piss test
It took me 5 tries to finish piss testing. Drink lots of fluids before you go into medical and the day before.
>getting lost
Not that hard except on the third day. Just ask the control desk people on 3rd floor.
>processing in 1/2 days and getting a shitty job
Just don't sign.
>physical fitness requirements (Navy)
40~ push-ups 50~ sit ups in 1-2~ minute time constraints. Do some of these before bed and in the morning until you can do them easily. Build yourself up over months/weeks.
>the military is scary
Depends. Boot camp is the most straining part of the military for most Navy, Airforce and Coast Guard recruits. Marines, National Guard and Army or another story. It's 6~ months of hell but you can do it because I believe in you. After that, the military is as hard and as dangerous as you make it because you choose your job. The military brings financial security, educational opportunities, camaraderie and more.

>>39440006
What service? Do you still have depression? Mostly it complicates things

>>39440007
You don't know every robot. All I'm saying is my recruiter gave a shitty explanation

>>39440117
>It's 6~ months of hell but you can do it because I believe in you
>6 months
???????????????????????
>>39440145
>You don't know every robot
>but I do

>>39440102
No I don't think so. It's very easy and accounting polishes your math skills which is the hardest part. It's like a standardized test (slightly harder benchmark test from school)
What do you think you would like to do in the Navy?

>>39440128
national guard and yes i do but idk if its documented and it was also caused by crazy circumstances, kind of why i want to join the service in the first place. I wouldnt think my case would be preventable to join the service but i guess it is.

>>39440163
Yeah it's shitty but if you want the gibs you gotta do it
20 years and you retire in the service and can live like a neet for the rest of your life easy

>>39440007
I heard the the person with the highest scores in A school gets dibs when it comes to duty stations. I understand needs of the navy prioritizes everything but lets say navy doesn't need anyone in a particular place, would the guy with the highest score most likely get his first pick? Also the reason why I said ET over FC is because after i serve my time I'm planning on doing something engineering related, most likely computer science in the civilian world. I know that FC deals with a lot of weapons and ET is more radar and electronic equipment. I just feel like it would be much more beneficial in the long run for me to be exposed to that over weapons considering my choices for the civilian world.

>>39440185
>>39440185
First of all if it's self diagnosed don't say anything and go to a diff recruiter if you already said yes. If you think it's that big of a problem then go get tested for depression and don't let them say something like "oh well anon you don't have depression but we diagnosed you for x x and x".

Im litterally too stupid for the military.
You have to have ATLEAST a GED which is a highschool equivalency.
I have studied and atempted the GED 6 times so i could get a better job to no avail.
My tutors eventually stop answering my calls.

It was the same in middle school and highschool, other people seem to remember and understand the material and breeze through while i struggle as hard as i can just to get a fucking GED at 24.
Also to take the GED test it costs 150 dollars, at this point ive pretty much given up.
I must have some sort of mental disorder thats gone undiagnosed, i refuse to believe im this fucking stupid.

ET is better than FC, but if your considering retiring in the Navy FC might be an easier job

>>39440169

Right now being an Officer in Supply/Logistics is all I've looked into

That and SWO but I'd probably need an engineering degree for that or something

>>39440230
>a diff recruiter if you already said yes. If you think it's that big of a problem then go get tested for depression and don't let them say something like "oh well anon you don't have depression but


well no I deffinitely have diagnosed depression, I went to the hospital, but it was for a legitimate kind of reason that would freak anyone out. My reason for joining the service is to get away from some of the shit thats freaking me out and get a solid career path going.

Dude, get your shit together take some adderol and cram. I didn't even study and got honors scores, the hardest part is just basic algebra. I believe in you.

>>39440268
You'll probably be fine. You need 3 or 4 jobs you'd like to do as alternatives though so pick 2 or three more jobs as back ups. I took 4 back ups and didn't get any of my jobs

>I heard the the person with the highest scores in A school gets dibs when it comes to duty stations
Rumors rumors rumors.
Ive heard the same thing but like I said for my class as an OS it wasnt like that. I wouldnt count on it cause shit changes all the time.
>would the guy with the highest score most likely get his first pick?
Again its possible but dont bank on it. With that being said some classes let people trade contracts. So if you get stuck with some shit you dont like just trade.
>I'm planning on doing something engineering related
FC is just as good for that, probably better
>I know that FC deals with a lot of weapons
Its not what you think. They work on, maintain and operate their weapon systems. Its very hands on and technical as all fuck. It will set you up just as well and the job is better imo.
>>39440259
>ET is better than FC
Explain why faggot, FC has bigger bonuses, faster advancement and ETs job is just wait for someone to break something than fix it. Youre a repaireman at best. boring.

>>39432402
Thought about it when I was younger, tried to enlist, was rejected for medical history

Now I've spent the last 9 years attempting to "get my shit together" but I have no interests, no passions, no talents, I had no other goals, and currently and have for nearly a decade had no Direction.

At this point I'm just running out the clock awaiting death. I drive for Uber and get ridiculed and abused by petty rich young fucks who doing boring shit all day and whine about having to wait 3 rather than 2 minutes to be picked up.

>>39440273
Well maybe a different service will take you. Navy, Army and Airforce in that order is what I recommend if you want adventure. It's worth trying all of them out if you were clinically diagnosed which you were. Someone will take you hopefully.

>>39432402
Someone redpill me on army combat engineer. I've been getting myself fit but I'm not so certain if I'll get in because I took accutane to nuke my acne (which it did, thank god) and I know Obama downsized the military hard. Also is it possible to still go airborne if one is a CE?
>inb4 good goy

>>39433182
>>39433265
From what i hear navy is fucking kick happy because of limited space. Army on the other hand will drill you until you finally put out

>>39440318
That's exactly what I said. FC is better if you want to retire in the military but ET has better stuff for outside. Reread what I said. Also
>better bonuses
That changes based on what the navy needs. It's not a reliable long term decision making tool. FC may be useful but it's less relevant than ET in the civilian world. Again, reread

>>39440318
It's hard for robots and sorry dude it's 11 o clock over here I messed up. I'm more socially adjusted than most robots and my dad said boot camp is gonna suck ass

>>39440292
Adderol has helped in the past but it is too expensive to take regularly enough tk get good results
>i didnt even study
Exactly my point, i wish i could put your brain in my head, or somehow transfer knowledge or something to help me understand.
I just cant keep wasting money on a test i cant pass.
Money is tight already, and i live pretty poorly.

Maybe i will try to get welfare or something i dont know.

>>39440394
>>39440273
You went to the hospital but weren't diagnosed? You might be retarded not depressed. Anyways if all you want to do is leave and you don't care what you're doing go Navy go active duty and pick some shitty job

>>39440345
How long was it since you took that? Have you talked to a recruiter yet or no?

>>39440356
>but ET has better stuff for outside
As I said it doesnt
Re-read what I said
>I know that FC deals with a lot of weapons
Youre correct, and every single year FCs are higher.
>civilian world
He wants to be an engineer so he needs to get a degree once ehs out anyway. FCs do just as much maintenance and they actually get to do cool shit and stand real watches unlike joke ET watches.
>>39440386
This is the #1 problem with these threads. Idiots who havent even been through boot yet giving advice. Your dad is probably a faggot if he said that. Its just some running and yelling. Fat women niggers make it through so thats how "tough" it is. Youll be fine and so will every other robot.

>>39440394
Literal retards can pass, your study habits need to change. I'm saying do a reasonable amount of adderol the day of and cram all day. Use the official study materials and work through every type of problem. The english, reading and social studies parts should be easy enough if you're literate with some historical anecdotes on hand. Take your fucking time, be careful and observant and don't give up when you start struggling. Seriously man, sort yourself out. Its in your head.

>>39440318
>weapon systems more important than everyday civilian based systems
This guy is a certified faggot for wanking Fc for no reason. There won't be nearly any jobs for them in the civilian world I know like 4 former ETs and they're all better off than anything an FC guy can get as a civilian.

>>39440441
I was on it for 6 months, had to go through a ton of bullshit to get it but I've been done for about a year now. I'm most likely going to go see a recruiter within the next few weeks depending on what my schedule looks like. I already know to get everything on paper. Guess I'll get my answer when that happens.

>>39440318
>ETs job is just wait for someone to break something than fix it. Youre a repaireman at best. boring

Damn dude, my recruiter is a Quarter Master and he told me the exact same shit. He also said that there's like a secret room the AECF dudes hang in, they have TV's and video games and shit in it along with other equipment. There's even a passcode on the door to get in that only they know.

>>39440251

Anecdotal evidence, heres some for me

There was an FC1 on my ship whose name i forget who got recruited by spaceX and now works for them. Eat shit moron.
Again that anon is going back to school for engineering.
Both rates do maintenance. And again FC actually has a cool job.

Cause its literally true. There "watch" is sit around with a radio waiting to get called.

Probably meant the tomahawk room. Yep, i went down there and tehre chief was playing skyrim and like 4 of them were sitting there watching him.
>There's even a passcode on the door to get in that only they know

AECF Future Sailor Anon here, don't argue guys. From what I heard you don't even get to choose from ET or FC, they choose for you and you find out by the time you get to your A school. I'll be fine with either I guess. I just really wanna go on a bunch of deployments and see the world. I'd also like to be stationed in japan hopefully too!

>>39440494
Ive done all this before anon.
I wish i could "sort myself out" but its beyond my reach.
The only thing i have trouble with is math, it just cant stick in my head long enough to matter when i take the test.
Is their any alternative way of getting highschool equivalency?

>>39440536
No i havent, only my father and he simply shruged and said oh well.

>>39432402
Navybot here. Too many chads. They'll invite you to outings and shit. Spend tons of money on bars just to get fucked up and eventually get into trouble. You'll end up wondering why aren't there more people who would rather sit in and play vidya.
Mandatory workouts just to stay in shape and bullshit leadership. Life is simple when you go out to sea which is quite often for me since I work on a destroyer.

>>39432402
I'm thinking of enlisting in the air force because I am completely directionless in life. I want to leave my god damn room for once and experience life, the world, and meet other people.

Once I do maybe three years then I'll try to get into a university.

Solid plan? Will I enjoy my time in the military?

Youll definitely get it, they need people in Japan big time. I was in yoko for 3 months and sasebo for around 1 month and fucking lvoed it. Also that other guy has no idea what hes talking about. If you can get FC tomahawk or SPY you absolutely should.

You cant just quit after 3 years.

>>39433982
actually it is.
Case in point, being smart leads to better jobs and better life decisions.

>>39441244
Why avoid the AF? Also about being stationed in Jap, my recruiter told me about how when he was stationed he had his own place and used his bah to pay for it, but I also heard from some other people that you might end up staying on the base there in the barracks and not get any time to explore japan. I really hope the latter isn't the case.

Smart how? Academically? Street Smart? Wise in general? It makes a difference. There are people who are academically geniuses and yes have pretty good jobs but are still socially inept spergs and make shit decisions due to lack of life experience. Robots can be both smart and dumb, please don't believe the le every robot is a dumb ass meme.

>>39441372
This recruiter is chill as fuck though, he even has an Instagram page and showed me pics from his deployment, the house and everything. He wasn't lying. It really bugs me whenever I try to tell someone about something my recruiter told me and they give you the lying recruiter meme. Not all of them are lying ass holes.

You 99% of the time get BAH at E-5. Second off barracks are a god send compared to living on the ship. Just make E-5 quickly and youll be straight. Japan is great and you get loads of time to explore. Plus you are forward deployed so youll be seeing other countries non stop.
>AF
Its the youngest and most liberal branch. Literally no reason to join it. Super comfy lifestyle which is a negative for a lot for reasons.
>>39441412
recruiters dont lie, they leave out the truth. As I said, you get BAh when married or E-5 99% of the time. So just rank up and youll be fine.

hey military anon is it fine enlisting in my late 20s in the army?

I dream of joining the military every few months but never do because I am fucking autistic. I'd love to be a crewman and develop a more than platonic bond with my AFV.

I want to do jet software for the air force. Been a dream of mine since I first saw the old radars first used.

Unfortunately no military branch will take me, despite being equal in knowledge to a masters in computer science before I was 18, and specializing my knowledge towards what I believe jets would use. I'm actually getting my masters now and it's such a slog because I know all of it. I know I sound like I'm bragging but this is all kind of necessary for you to know why this next part is slightly bullshit.

No military branch will take me because I have ADHD, ocd, and had schizophrenia induced by childhood trauma until I was about 20.

If it wasn't for the job prospects I'll have in a year I'd kill myself. All I want to do is go into the military and use my body and mind for this country, especially if I can work on my dream job.
