My sister was the same way. She couldn't pass the PRACTICE ASVAB at the Air Force recruiting office even though she hired a personal tutor and studied for that shyt...

Matter of fact, she never scored above a 30, and scored a whole ass 17 AFTER hiring the tutor.

I personally don't understand how the fukk that shyt is possible because she had a 3.3 high school GPA, and as we all know, the ASVAB is literally high school-level shyt.

I bullshytted in high school and finished with a 1.7 GPA, but I dropped a 70. I told her to keep at it, but...:francis:.

Hire a tutor to help you drive your test scores down, brehettes. :mjgrin:

@42 Monks Dude cussed me the fukk out and negged me once for being "honest".


How silly of us veterans who've actually commissioned/enlisted, gone through basic, gone through training pipelines, PCS'd, deployed, gotten out and retired to tell someone who's never even been to MEPS what's what. :mjgrin:


At this point it is what it is - dudes is either the ultimate troll, a Chinese or Russian spy collecting intel, or a breh that's sadly running out of time to make this shyt happen. :ld:
dude PM'd me back in 2019 and 2020 about this stuff. been hitting up with info in threads before and ever since too

always been positive with him. i still am. dude needs to hear its time to move the fukk on

the fact he got the nerve to get mad at me of all people..... lol

Either have long-ass tech schools, high washout rates, or both, and several are high-stress careers.


At least he gave up on getting a 1 alpha or 1 uniform gig. :francis:

Back in the DMV
If it ain't AF or the Navy you're essentially volunteering for the meat grinder. You're a soilder first and whatever your career is second. I was a 1C1 when I was in and there were commander calls during deployments where I just left because I needed my crew rest. I slept in the trailers next to the pilots so a breh was living good compared to the Army and Marine that came there for their R&R and still put in crappy trailers :scust:
Anything related to the Aviation field is always the best during deployments. That crew rest requires trailers and two man rooms.

Those big ass GP tents :hhh:

I think they be boosting everyone's E & M scores.

I can't even change my oil and got mid in the mid 90s for both. :mjlol:

Dudes be seeing them high mechanical scores like :gladbron: while the recruiters in the cut like

I'll disagree because the maintenance and logistics bubbas most def work a shyt ton.
don't know about that, I work FM and my last one was a 10-6 (or noon-6 if I was hung over) M-F gig.

Y'all are low-key both right.

The key to this is does your job require you to have crew rest? If it does, your accommodations will be better, you'll have less office work to do, and you won't get pulled for additional details as easily.

If it doesn't, it's a toss up and you'll either hate life in a different country or it'll be cake.
