Re: SITREP

Thanks for the info, it seems the Audie Murphy is solid gold and will definitely be hitting it up instead of getting milkshakes. I have a solid workout group of battle buddies, so we'll be keeping each other motivated. Alot more people have dropped their RIP contracts after being offered duty statio...

SITREP

I graduated OSUT Friday as an 11B. It was probably one the happiest moments in my life when i got that blue cord. I scored a 299 on my final PT test; I was one pushup short. Alot of people in my platoon had their RIP contracts dropped for failing their PT tests. These are the people that go to sleep...

Re: No Option 40?!?

Best day of my life so far. Went back to the recruiter today and he called Recruit command or wherever. And long story short: I got my 11x OPT40 contract !!! Turns out the MOSes (which I hated) he was mentioning before were ones that received the OPT40 signing bonus. I don't care much for bonuses I ...

No Option 40?!?

I took my ASVAB yesterday and scored a 97 with a GT of 130. My recruiter couldn't find anything on 11x with opt40 on the system, and he kept pushing other MOSes such as 68W(Medical Care) on me. He calls me today and tells me that the only slots open for OPT40 are Truck driver, food specialists, and ...

Re: Recruiter (SITREP)

Thanks for the advice Ranger JLTW. The key point that i made, which got my mother on board, was college. I told her about the $80,000 GI Bill, Online courses for college credit, and SOCAD (which makes the college process, afterwards, a 100x easier). I told her after my 4 years enlisted i would go to...

Recruiter (SITREP)

Yesterday, I talked to my recruiter about the 11x option40 contract. He basically told me the earlier I sign up, the greater chance I have at securing an Option 40 contract and shipping out asap. Apparently there is only so many people the Recruiting Center can ship out per month. As of now all the ...

Friend with Romantic Ideas of the army

When I say romantic, I don't mean all lovey dovey, but rather the guts and glory definition. My friend, who shall be named B, believes the Army is like a Rambo movie where he can chop somebody in half with a machine gun and run through a hail of bullets unscathed. B believes becoming a Ranger or SEA...

Re: Whats in your cd player?

"The Velvet Underground and Nico"
by the Velvet Underground, is one of the best albums I have ever heard. 10x better than anything The Beatles put out and is on the same level as The Who.

Hockey Injury

I just recently received an injury during hockey practice; a slapshot to my upper ankle while screening the goal. Its a decent sized bruise, but the problem is it is painful, but tolerable to walk on, leaving me with a slight limp. My coach told me to stay off it for a good 1.5-2 weeks. My main ques...
