Bingo! (Former Nuke) Fuck that. I wouldn't mind my kids serving, but I'll be damned if I let them enlist. If your ASVAB is above 90 the navy is looking for you to fill just a handful of jobs, and nukes is always the first option they will push people to. Quote HistoryQuoted:

He opted to be on a Sub as a machinist mate and will graduate this week. If your daughter is doing well in college and happy, leave her to it. It wasn’t so with my son and worked out very well for him to join. |

It's astonishing all the armchair civilians in here talking shit about the military and the call to serve your country....I guess we know who we can/can't rely on in here when SHTF Thanks to everyone posting with experience. Trying to encourage my son to join in some capacity when he is of age. I was thinking Nuke as he is really into engineering and electronics. But the long enlistment and if the environment sucks it may not be something he is interested in. Was also thinking Army warrant flight. His grandfather was fighter turned refueler then c130 pilot who retired recently from the reserves. I am getting my son into CAP this summer to see how he likes it. Service is noble but if my son was running a needle scaler for 4 years it would be a waste. |

I took that in about 10 minutes when a stripper gf brought me over 1 day to her recruitment office. Once there, she and the Navy guy started talking to me about joining. Took the test, he's checking it but gets distracted by her extremely short skirt showing panties as she sits across from his desk. I notice him marking a bunch wrong and realize the issue but let him finish since his facial expressions were funny.....mix of feeling sorry for me being so stupid with jealousy due to the legs across from him.
Anyway, when he started stammering about how I could study and come back, I told him he used the wrong answer key. I got 100% and had been out of school drinking full time for about a year. Funny story about her chasing me around Austin shorty after that with a new gf in the car..... Heard she got discharged for bangin too many sailors. |

Everyone aces the asvab. Then you have all branches calling you every day for months: "You can do anything you want in today's Army Navy Air Force Marines Coast Guard!"
Drove us nuts back in the early 90s when Caller ID was an expensive add on that we didn't have. Have to admit, my mom came up with some of the most creative reasons that I wasn't available at the time.... (Dad, as a former Marine, would just either chat away with them, or go all drill sgt on them about calling at dinner time.  )

Seriously the ASFAB is not hard. I scored a 98. One of the questions that I remember seeing was. "If a machinegun shoots 600 rounds per minute, how many rounds does it fire in 2 minutes" You know what is sad. When I was at the recruiter there was a guy who failed it twice. He was stressed about taking it again. |

Not unusual,. But getting someone that aces the test to enlist can be a challenge since that's usually an indicator that they have other opportunities available to them besides the military
Aced the test and retired after 20 years. Now I'm enjoying other opportunities.

Talked to the kid and she didn't remember the test score, she thought she did't do very well. She excels at math and English and science though. She now was talking about wanting to come work in the family business with me. I have always told her that money won't always make you happy, but having lots of it does not suck either!

She is doing well in collage tell her to stay there and tell the recruiter that she has gone to the Congo to do mission work. Sure the .mil is a great experience for some, others not so much. Depends on the individual and their MOS. There was a documentary on the Navy where they followed different crewmen around on a Aircraft Carrier. One mess specialist a woman wanted to be a helo pilot and her recruiter told her no problem sign here. A best friend went in from collage after the Navy ROTC program. He was in for 18 years and it was both good and bad. The bad thing was it used the best years of his life and he was gone for most of that in the arm pits of the world. |
