I just came back from MAPS in Raleigh yesterday. Took the ASVAB, physical,talked to the doctors etc and was sworn in. I'll be a "imagery analyst" which is just want it sounds like. I start basic training after graduation at Fort Jackson, and my job training is on Fort Huachuca in fuging Arizona, which is funny, because I've never been west of Tuscaloosa. I've been from Mobile to Maine, but never west of Tuscaloosa. Anyway, the pay after bills and fuging taxes is good, I can go to college after my 3 years and 38 weeks, and if I get shipped to Afghanistan (which is very probable) I don't pay taxes at all. I'm just happy to serve, and it will look awesome when I run for President in 20 years.

Congratulation!

One word of caution. Don't bet the farm that you will end up where they promise to put you.

I was supposed to go into the Marines flying Sea Cobra choppers! (Rain Death down from above!) :thumbsup:

My Father asked me to ask my recruiter what his field was. Seems he had a Masters degree in Physics and wanted to be a teacher. He was a life long paper shuffler for the Marines. (His words.) My warm fuzzies went out the door at that point. I figured that instead of flying, I'd probably been a fry cook for the troops of something!

I was supposed to go in after high school, but my Father talked me into going to college first. (It was the difference between going into the Marines as a buck private or 2nd Lewy!) They kept in touch with me all through college. When I found out that my recruiter was a paper pusher, I decided to accept IBM's offer as an engineer. (I did make it over during Dessert Shield. I Helped design a box for them. "Civilian Contractor".)

Make friends with the Special Ops guys. They have a thousand gruesome stories to tell and if they like you, they watch your back, no matter what! (Oh, and they love to tell you "A hundred ways to kill a person!")
