yeah you take the asvab test.I scored a 65.Average is around 50 so they say but the higher you get the more jobs you get to choose from.Some chick i know scored a 95 and is working with developing chemical warfare weapons.My boy scored a 49 and picked his mos and an MP and they shipped his ass to iraq 9 months later.
I was gunna do the aviation mechanic but didn't follow through felt like i rushed into it but if this economy get worse im def gunna sell my ass to uncle sam but i got a fam now and dont like the idea of moving every 4 years or having them to relocate where ever i would be but shit i need the benefits.

Yeah I fuckin hate Air Force PT, it aint hard or nothing cause all we do is like 45 minutes of calisthenics and maybe another half hour of running around a track three times a week, but that shit annoying cuz I'd rather be lifting or doing something else besides flutter kicks and crunches.
yeah that new gi bill u talkin bout that pays bah i dont think it goes to effect until jan of 09...idk thats what ive been hearing from all my boys i could be wrong...but damn i would choose runnin around a track than runnin fuckin desert hills in the morning almost everyday..lol and i heard yall run your pft or i think u guys call it "prt" on a treadmill?

with a certain amt of respect for people who serve this country in a way or another my hat is off to you as my dad was a veitnam vet (another stupid ass war)..but what keeps me out of the military is every single person ive known has come out of the military like something really traumatic happened to them and theyre supressing it, i don't know what that thing is and if its even something im just imagining, but theres something in most of your eyes after you come back that just says youve been dehumanized and depersonalized in some sort of way.

i remember i knew this nigga james..he got back from the war and dude would drink and smoke himself into the worst positions ive ever seen a man subject himself to in less than ten minutes, like smoke a whole 8th to himself while we just look at him and then drink half a bottle of liquor then get in his corvette and just press down on the fucking gas and all you hear is mind bending drunk ass tire screeches...but as one point i just wanted to sit him aside and ask if there was something he felt he needed to vent about.

i dont even know if this nigga was inside his own body.

he did have a hilarious ass crack on me once tho i was dissing him and he was like 'WIT YO PETEY PABLO DRESS SHIRT' and i just started crying in laughter

as we all know petey pablo wore no shirts, he spun them around

i hope that dudes still alive though i think that post traumatic stress disorder shit really effects some war vets

IM CURRENTLY AN ACTIVE DUTY SGT (E-5) 5 AND A HALF YEARS DEEP WITH 1 AND A HALF TO GO. STATIONED AT FORT BLISS TEXAS. 14 TANGO AIR DEFENSE ARTLLERY P.A.T.R.I.O.T. LAUNCHING STATION OPERATOR/MAINTAINER. JOB SUCKS, ITS BORING BUT I HAVE BEEN TO KOREA AND QATAR SO ITS BEARABLE FOR NOW. SET TO DEPLOY SOON AND GOING TO THE E-6 PROMOTION BOARD, AND THEN GET THE FUCK OUT AND SMOKE A BLUNT!

ANY OF YOU CURRENTLY SERVING OR PRIOR SERVICE USE THE VA LOAN TO BUY A HOUSE RECENTLY? WITH THE HOUSING MARKET THE WAY IT IS NOW IS THE TIME TO BUY, BUT BANKS ARE SCARED TO LOAN MONEY WITHOUT SOME KIND OF SAFTEY NET IN PLACE, IE MORTGAGE SECURITY FEES OR SOME SHIT LIKE THAT. HAS ANYONE GONE THROUGH WITH IT?

AS FAR AS JOINING, I WOULD RECCOMEND ANYONE TO JOIN. SIGN UP FOR THE LEAST AMOUNT OF YEARS, HOPEFULY GET A SIGNING BONUS, AND GET YOUR GI BILL. BE SMART AND DO YOUR HOMEWORK SO YOU CAN GET A JOB THAT HAS A CIVILIAN WORLD APPLICATION. IF YOU CHOOSE TO GET OUT (AND YOU WERE SMART ENOUGH TO MANAGE YOUR FINANCES) YOU WILL HAVE MONEY IN THE BANK A GI BILL ON DECK, AND EXPERIENCE IN A FIELD OF WORK TO APPLY IN. ADDED BONUSES ARE A BETTER LEVEL OF FITNESS, DISCIPLINE, ORDER, ECT.

Man im on the boat right now as im posting this hah.
This boat is fucked man, we just went through INSURV and arent leaving for deployment until Jun 09 or so. The new XO is fucking crazy and hes about to be the CO. I only got 25 months left in the Navy. im pretty happy about that.


On another note, ill let yall know what the Navy has done for me.
I wasnt doing shit with my life but drugs and shitty jobs, i had to get the fuck out of Yuba City so i joined up, scored a 70 on my ASVAB and came in under the AECF program (Advanced Electronics Computer Field). Just a fancy name for working on old ass electronics. I came in as an E-1 and left boot camp an E-2. I got automatically promoted to E-4 (usually you take a test) and then a year later i put on E-5. The military has really changed me as a person in a good way, i have learned how to act at a job really. I learned how to present myself and ive learned leadership skills. Once i get out i am going to take my electronics skills and try to get a job at some company doing maintenance or something similar. Then i am going to use this new GI Bill, which is much better than the old one, and get a degree in electronics and try to a career type job. I think its a great stepping stone to a better life, some people even end up enjoying it and make a career out of it.
Here is the 2009 pay chart.
http://www.navycs.com/09militarypaychart.html

You also get paid when you are stationed on a boat, depending on how long you are on board. If you worked on the flight deck like Sav did you get money for that as well. When your deployed you get hazard pay and everything is Tax free. If you have a family they are covered as well with the benefits.

Either way, im getting the fuck out, i signed for 6 and im ready to be done with it. Its a good plan if you got nothing else going for you.

DO YOU HAVE TO STAY ON THE BOAT?

NO NOT TECHNICALLY BUT IF U SINGLE AND U ABOUT UR PAPER I WOULD. U CAN EAT ON THE BOAT WHENEVA U WANT TO BECUZ THEY TAKE MONEY OUT YOUR PAY CHECK..ITS KINDA LIKE A TAX DEDUCTION U WONT MISS IT BELIEVE ME. BUT U WONT GET PAID THAT MUCH TO HAVE YOUR OWN SHIT LIKE THAT UNTIL U GET SUM RANK, THE MILITARY DONT WANT YOU TO BE IN DEBT IF ANYTHING, BECUZ ONCE YOU GET IN DEBT WHOEVER YOU OWE CAN GARNISH UR MONEY IF IT GO THAT FAR.

AS FOR THE TEST?
ITS EASY THE HIGHER U GET THE BETTER AND EASIER JOB U GET, AND THE MORE THE BONUS U GET. I DID BAD ON THE TEST SO I CAME IN UNDESIGNATED WHICH WASNT BAD CUZ U STILL GET A OPPORTUNITY TO PICK A JOB U WANNA GO FOR. I WAS A UNDESIGNATED AIRMAN. BUT TRY TO SCORE HIGH AS U CAN. JUST REMEMBER THE BETTER U SCORE THE MORE MONEY U GET AND THE BETTER JOB....ITS A BIG DIFFERENCE IF U ASK ME BUT ITS STILL ALL GOOD
so whats the pay like on a month to month basis?^^^ so that 1295$ is monthly for an e-1 correct?

good lookin on the info sav

jayda would you recomend it? and if i sign up for 4 years do i ever get to visit back home durin that time?
HELL YEA U RACK UP ON UT PTO TIME WHEN UR IN BOOT CAMP AND WHEN UR ON DEPLOYMENT THEY LET U TAKE 2 WEEKS OFF A MAJORITY OF THE TIME IF U HAVE TIME AND IT AINT INTERFERING WITH THE SHIPS OUT TO SEA TIME....IM THE SICCNESS NAVY LIASION RECRUITER!
 
#56
ALSO 1 MORE PIECE OF ADVICE TALK TO THE RECURITER LIKE UR SELLIN URSELF AND DONT SELL URSELF CHEAP LET THEM KNOW WHAT U WANT FROM THEM, THE WAY PEOPLE GET GOT IS THAT THEY DONT KNOW WHAT THEY WANT WHEN THEY ATTEMP TO JOIN. IF U FROM THE WEST COAST AND U WANNA BE CLOSE TO UR FAMILY LET THEM KNOW THATS WHAT UR GOAL IS IF YOU JOIN CUZ THEY DONT HAVE A PROBLEM SENDIN UR ASS TO VIRGINIA...SAN DIEGO IS THE BEST HOMEPORT (AS FAR AS BEING ON A SHIP) IN THE NAVY...WASHINGTON BASE IS ALWAYS RAINY....VIRGINIA IS DIRTY AND HELLA COLD, FLORIDA IS A GOOD SPOT AND ANY OVERSEAS DUTY STATION IS PRETTY GOOD CUZ THATS WHERE U GET THE MOST MONEY AND THE LOCAL BITCHES WILL LOVE U.........

IF UR BLACK AND U GO TO AUSTRAILIA U ARE KING THE BITCHES WILL TAKE CARE OF YOU, AND U CAN ASK ANYBODY THAT

boot camps a joke. mine was only 8 weeks and all we did was PT, fold clothes and iron uniforms. There were some classes we had to take and shit. a few tests and a lot of inspections but overall easy as fuck.
one shitty thing about the Navy is duty, on my ship, every 8 days i got to stay on board and i have to stand a 4 hour watch. im on duty today which is why im posting long ass posts. bored as fuck. tonight i got the midnight to 4am watch where i walk around on the flight deck with a 9mm and an M16. fucking lame.
i cant believe that 3 of us on this site were on the same rust bucket boat.
