    alot of the students in techschool are saying it sucked bc of the bullshit stuff they have to do and what not.. they enjoyed the "hard" stuff its the keeping shit clean and folding/rolling clothes that is bullshit.

    That video is a classic. I remeber when it came out in early 2000 and made it's way around in email. We had this one SSgt back then who watched this video daily for 2 months. He was bitter and disgruntled...lol

    Talked to my recruiter today. I went in and he said its takin a little longer to get to MEPS due to them having a hard time finding my schools accrediting. I also taked jobs with him and having a hard time deciding what i like. Im still thinkin TACP, PJ, some kind of vehicle, or heli maintenance, or maybe a munitions or EOD. Just having a hard time placing myself.

    My best advice would be get a job you can use on the outside. So I worked on jet. Yes they dont have jets on the outside. But for planes im really a jack of all trades. So now all I have to do is get my A&P license and I can skip classes I can get it fast then some jackass just doing it out of high school..

    ^I agree mrp192, thats why I enjoy my job in CE, easier to find a job on the outside when I get out. Most of the CE career fields are like that...

    learning skills in the military that transfer well into a civi career field is great, but at the same time there are jobs in the miliatry that are only available in the miliatry, and are once in a lifetime opportunities. you can always learn to turn a wrench later on in life, but you wont be able to learn to call in close air support or fire off a 40 mike mike...

    where else was i gonna get paid to work out, scuba dive, jump out of planes, shoot guns, and look good for the ladies...? only in the military. :D
