Unless someone really wants to buy it Im going to keep it.
And Im too fat to officially join right now, I need to lose about 10 pounds or so and I should be in the green. They just pulled the ARMS test on Oct 1st so thats kinda sh*tty. As far as being my recruiter, depends on what office you will be in. I go to the one in Brooklyn Center.
My goal is to sign papers by Dec 15th
With your user handle, you'd seem like a better fit in the Navy! Good luck, I'd take the mechanic job myself, after being in the Navy for 6 years in underwater launched nuke missiles and only ending up doing 100 days of sea time in 6 years. I hated school too, high school, and signed up in nov of my senior year to head off in the middle of august. So I ended up in school or waiting for the next school of 4 schools for 2 years before my first ship, which was a sub tender. 7-8 hours a day of school, so much for hating school. I just hated the college prep course subjects in reality. When the electronics and all things associated with submarines was all I had to learn, school was awesome. So 2 years of school, 2 years on a floating factory for repairing and restocking subs, and then a sub that was heading for an overhaul for my last 2 years, was pretty much a walk in the park.
Good luck and use your smarts. Like my dad told me from day one, "Make the most of it, Mike." I did. If you finish classes at the top of your class standings or close to it, you get preferential choices of your next school or duty, which was how I got to be a student for so long. Most of the guys I finished classes above ended up doing 7-8 deterrent 105 day patrol cycles in the remainder of their enlistments and I made one. All based on class standings and educated choices about where to go next when a class got over.
Which leads to my username here. Now that the cat is out of the bag, I got caught at the top of a shipyard crane at 2:30 AM on a Sunday morning after standing a topside watch at the shipyard. By Monday morning, when the non-watch section of boat sailors returned to work, I was no longer Mike. I was milehighmikey. Those cranes are really tall!
So like I said, make the most of it, help defend our country, keep your LS because you'll need it while you are stateside, save your $$$, have fun, keep your chin up, fight the good fight, etc.
Thank you for your planned service. :bow:
