[Jblaze204]

Fat fukks are unsightly, they're not fit to fight and they're more expensive with more lost man hours.

Oh I know, I left my last deployment with almost 600K in marriott points. I have a few reserve friends, mostly navy, that have worked the system to where they deploy for 6 month stints to places like UAE/Bahrain/Doha and just chill on easy mode contract work the other half of the year.

just got my gov travel card

 

[TheAnointedOne]

Don't enlist. This is coming from someone who enlisted at a older age.
Get you a trade or certifications.

Or commissioning, perhaps?

There are competency-based schools that allow you to get your degree quickly. WGU is one.

Like I said before, the oldest AD errman I knew got to her 1st duty station when she was 39.


They still had her old ass in the dorms.

Yo just imagine you are in retirement living your life and boom. And not only are you serving you are also in command. Dude must be a good planner or strategy type or in charge of some specific program because I’m almost certain if he was a regular maneuver or sustainment leader he wouldn’t need to be recalled.

Don't know about the rest of the service branches, but air force OTS %s are pretty low right now. Around 15% selection rate, and that's after you get through all the processes/paperwork involved.

Tfw you' forget' your GTC and have to use your platinum card and collect them points.

 

[itsyoung!!]

@Son Goku what is their age limit? I'm 36 years old. Still trying for the Air Force though.

Why are you dead set on joining the military so late in life? Im legit curious. Havnt seen this story before

Dude would still need to pass a physical and be able to pass a PT test.

or you purposefully book a 4 hour layover in DTS so you can chill in an amex/priority lounge on a travel day and get tanked on free liquor

As a military man I will always say there should be standards. You are tasked with ultimately protecting the country so you cannot be some uneducated fat slob and expect to do that job accordingly.

if you meet the low standards then have fun some of the best to ever do it lied to get in or got in on dramatically lowered standards

its what you do after that counts

I know cats that tried to retake their shyt two or three times just to score in the 70's.

I came out that hoe with a score high enough for every job in the AF and never had to think about it again.

I scored a 70 first time up without studying. Something about MEPS just made me not want to come back again (outside of departing for boot camp).

I met an Air Force girl that scored a 73 her first time, but she VOLUNTARILY went back so she could get a higher score.

She wound up dropping an 86.

Yeah but those are exceptions not the rule

He didn't even make it basic homie is trying to be a Cop now.

That's the thing with all these people trying to G2 a whole career on the internet before they even talk to a recruiter, It seems like a lot of them either suffer from analysis paralysis or either joining was a pipe dream to begin with.

I knew a dude big fat ass kid who was obsessed with joining the Air Force to the point that he'd be turned away from the base all the time. This was pre 9/11 hell this was Pre Khobar Towers they used to have parties on the base where local people would go to you had kids in school that would invite you to hang out with them on base and this kid couldn't get in I think he was banned for some reason.

Anyway I expressed no interest in Joining but when 9/11 happened I figured I'd either join now or never go so I went. I had zero information and it didn't hurt me.

I get sucked into homie's bullshyt but I can imagine that holmes hung out on Military.com's message board too. The SOF recruiters meassage boards have to be worse.

Mothefukkers getting cancelled before the pilot even airs.

I got a cousin who is 23 with a GED.
No branch wanted to take him a year ago with that GED.

He will be dead, in jail or fukked up on dog food within a year the way he is living.

I just sent this to his dad. I hope he can get in.

He ogtta get away from New Orleans. It's a hot summer.

He most likely got a record
