spacetoaster posted:My kid just got a 52 on the ASVAB (a perfectly average score). goarmy.com is telling me that 35M (HUMINT collector) and 35P (cryptolinguist) are offering (up to) 47.5K signing bonus right now. They'd need a 101 on the ST line score, and a passing score on the DLAB, which they will have to go back to MEPS for, but will get a year in Monterey and a foreign language out of it, and an almost guaranteed high-paying job in a windowless building outside DC after ~4 years. Of the two, I'd pick HUMINT if they're a little full of themself and 35P if they really really like anime. If that's not them, 68 series all seem ok. if they can get their pick, 68V respiratory specialist is what i'd go for; there are always 68W slots and almost all of them won't see combat, but i think 68V qualifies you to be a respiratory tech once you get out, while 68W only qualifies you for EMT. Respiratory tech is a way better job than EMT.

The stuff they do has a high skill floor, and retention is balls because it's trivially easy to simultaneously make more money and deal with less bullshit outside a uniform.

I mean I've got PMs, if you've got the evidence you can share it with me instead of just throwing insults at me, but if you wanna do that instead I won't stop you. Besides, strangers on the internet already think I'm a dumbass, this isn't new.

Slowbeef has been on these forums so long he's practically part of the furniture, and I've never heard of this guy he says is a big liar. Personally, I'm quite happy to take his word.

What about this job sucks hard enough that you have to bribe people that much to take it? language school is challenging and a lot of students wash out. It's doable for anyone who is reasonably good at academics but if you can be successful at academics you don't tend to join the military. linguist is a good job - it can be repetitive, but there's lots of opportunities to do interesting things. it's desk work which can be a negative for some but navy and air force folks have a chance to ride in planes/boats. chinese linguists have a good chance to be stationed in hawaii. hypnophant fucked around with this message at 07:21 on Mar 4, 2024 |

i only ever read his LPs and the only part of his life that i knew was his supposed daughter's supposed death. hearing about his Totally Real Life Experiences I Promise has left me flabbergasted. how the gently caress was anyone convinced by these bad movie plot stories designed to make him look like the coolest guy on the planet? at least 50FA's stories were fun to read. - an SOF marine
