Hooah!

Post by Mazz »

Hi Rangers,
I'm Mazz, I'm 17, and I'm enlisting as soon as they let me :lol: (I think 2 weeks after this year's seniors graduate). I come from a mostly military family and pretty much everyone is behind me on my decision to enlist except for my mom :roll:. Not quite sure which contract I'm going for yet (either 11B op40, or 18X) but I have a little while to make my mind up.

Hooah!

As someone who knows - I say go for the 40 and get some time doing direct action under your belt first. Build a foundation that will help you greatly before you go to SF, if you make a career of it.

Welcome, Mazz....a "CAREER" and you are a Junior in High School? Geez, all I knew as a Junior is that I wanted a job where they gave me shoes to wear and a place I could get laid. Man, kids these days are wired, arent they?

Welcome Mazz. You seem pretty squared away. The question of 11x Opt 40 vs 18x has been brought up here before. Us the search button and you'll find plenty of good information on the topic.

Hopefully, If I goto some summer school I'll be able to graduate a trimester early. I'm also going to take a course in russian this summer at a local college so Ill see if I can get any credit for that. If I don't get out early then I guess I'll be a DEPshit for a year, unless my mom won't sign :shock: , then I'll have to wait until next Feb. to enlist.
