I mean after i'm done....I might go in as a mechanic and try to stay in the top 10% so i can go as a "vehicle recovery specialist" so that would be the MOS

hey man good luck with whatever you decide. I just enlisted for the Air Force. I took the ASVAB couple days ago and did really good. If you still in HS you should do good on the test because its pretty much everything you learn in Junior year. What i decided is to do something in the military that i would benefit from when i get out. Like Tsar said heli mech which is one of my choices. Pick something that will make u a lot of money coming out. Whatever you do just make sure your ready for the ASVAB becuase if you score low which a lot of ppl who i tested with did, THE MILITARY will choose your job for you. And you prolly wont like it. Im going to MEPS next week to pick my job and start the process. I learned a lot and can give you some more info if ya want.

Bubba, when you go tomorrow to speak to the Army guys tell them you want to apply for MOS 02B.

unless your guard the military is gonna choose your job for you anyway. things may have changed in the last 3 years but thats how it was. make sure you get EVERYTHING in writing. Have you taken the Asvab yet Bubba?

You can choose the job you want as long as you score high enough on the test to qualify. They ask you to be flexible depending on the jobs that are avaible. But if you score low on the test they pretty much give you any job they want from what my recruiter told me. Things might be different for other branches though. I kno you need 31% to be allowed to join the army though.

heli mechanics make good money. A friend of mine back when I was going for my pilots license was looking into either aircraft or heli mechanic and right out of school they were making 50-60k with no experience, and that was six years ago.

:lol: nice

Bubba, what everyone is saying is just make sure that it is what you want, be 100% sure before you enlist. The money is one thing but the question you have to ask yourself is if your prepared to do what the military is asking, which would be going through boot camp, leaving a lot of what you had behind, and risking your life should you be put in a combat area. I have enlisted in the Marine Corp and am shipping out August 18th and I am so ready for it. I got the job i wanted which was Command and Control/Electrician which comes wiht a $10,000 signing bonus. But on the other side, there is another kid who was in my graduating class who was very Gung ho about going but now wishes he hadn't enlisted because he is getting screwed for a job that was "promised" before MEPS and now has to wait till October for the new jobs to come out just so he can get what he wants, even though he was scheduled to leave July 28th. I honestly think I rushed the decision by joining and at the beginning of me being in the Delayed Entry Program, I was worried I had made a mistake, but after ALOT of thinking and finding more out about the program, I found that the choice I made was one that would make me happy. Just make sure you want to do this cause you need to be very ready for it. Good luck with whatever decision you make.:usa:

ok, what is that?
