ALI3N'S Basic/Budget Build

Infantry. I enjoyed it, but don’t recommend it to many people

 

What would you recommend for me? MP?

 

Well if you do well enough you could do high school to flight school you’d become a warrant officer and fly helicopters. ATC which I did you could work on tactical equipment basically in a motor pool kicking tires and unloading connexs and going to the field a lot. Or you could be lucky and be in a tower if you get certified that’s your golden ticket to get a civilian job. Deployments suck but you have it better than most with shift work and actual days off also get some extra money a month for the job specialty.
Being a crew chief you get to ride in the choppa but once again kicking tires and washing windows.
Aviation operations ain’t to bad don’t really have a equivalent job civilian side but it’s easy doing like logs for pilots hours, aircraft maintenance history, and filling flight plans.
You could be a meteorologist which is doing weather stuff at the airports it’s pretty laidback no one messes with you and your always in a office.

 

Maybe. If you want to pursue a law enforcement career after, then it wouldn’t be a bad choice.

Personally I think learning a trade or doing something with computers or aviation would be good choices as far as setting you up after the military.

 

Infantry is a tough career field from what I’ve seen especially as you get a little older but promotions are easy and you have first dibs on the high speed schools like airborne, air assault, and ranger. But if your not in the field it’s a lot of busy work.

 

@Beretta4x4 Josh was infantry as well but I believe Mechanized...tanks and chit.

 

Fly helicopters as a pilot? Do well in the ASVAB?

 

MRAP's

 

I was light for a few years, but mostly mechanized

 

FTFY.

 

Mostly Bradley's and Humvee

 

Yes you have to score pretty high I qualified for it but was a year wait when I went in but had to leave my situation quickly.

 

So true lol

 

Pilots have it made in the shade. No bs duties or extra stuff just fly is all but a lot of it is training nonstop.
If your a commissioned officer like LT CPT etc they don’t fly as much usually end up in staff positions or commanding.

 

I see. I'll try my hardest on this test. There's another one in Fall, so I'll take that one too.

 

What do I need so I can get a GI bill?

 

You get that just for joining

 

@hoverlover, wanna join in on this?

 

Noice. What exactly is it?

 

Serve in the military.
