AirMail 0 #51 July 29, 2004 You'll be marching a lot. KNOW your left from your right.-- It's never too late to have a happy childhood. Postal Rodriguez, Muff 3342 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cudlo 0 #52 July 29, 2004 QuoteYou'll be marching a lot. KNOW your left from your right. Oi, that killed me at Benning that grown men honestly could not turn to the right when told to do so. And as for the recruiter knowing you smoked weed. Kind of a toss up. I know the Army recruiters ask if their recruits have smoked weed solely to determine if they have to instruct the recruit how to beat the drug test I dont know what Navy basic is like. But brace yourself. When I got to Benning i couldnt believe the culture shock i had. Its a serious change. Alot of guys went AWOL within the first week. _________________________________________ "People demand freedom of speech to make up for the freedom of thought which they avoid." - Kierkegaard Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jimbo 0 #53 July 29, 2004 QuoteI met with a recruiter today. I went and bought my ASVAB study book and I take the test next week. When I was in college my roommate's cousin took the ASVAB. He failed it. Twice. Too stupid to swab the deck. I imagine that you'll do well. He was pretty stupid. - Jim"Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed.

Icon134 0 #54 July 29, 2004 I joined the Air Force 4 months before turning 28... I guess I just missed the cut-off. I trained physically quite extensively to the point that I was substantially more fit then 90% of the people at Officer training school. which was actually kind of annoying... I don't usually know the difference between my left or my right... but we have the Cool MTI's at OTS so... I didn't have any problems... Course, now I work completely with civilians...

turtlespeed 226 #56 July 29, 2004 QuoteQuotegood luck in the navy dude.......... i dated a seaman (a female one damn it) once.... i guess you could say i was "in" the navy for a short time...lol........ lol...I already told the recruiter that I smoked a joint in college. Why is this bad? P.S. Just in college I have never touched anything since So what he "Misheard" and what you said are two opposite things. What you said - is that you never smoked weed in college - he must have written it down wrong.I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama BTR #1 / OTB^5 Official #2 / Hellfish #408 / VSCR #108/Tortuga/Orfun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You must have one hell of a resume. hmmm, that's what my recruiter told me... course he also told me that as an AF Developmental Engineer I wouldn't be elegible for deployment... and that turned out not to be true... Not that I'm complaining... Yeah, I'm a geek... I know it... I accept it... good luck in the navy... have fun... and just remember a good attitude will get you the farthest in the military...

The guy has millions of dollars and he can't go to GNC and spend $40 on a cleanser an hour before the test? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freeflir29 0 #61 August 2, 2004 What.....The Navy? I could never do that. The uniforms are FAR too gay looking. I suppose that's why some join. Look into the "Special Boat Squadrons." See what specialties they hire. I think THAT would be a kick ass job! Like everywhere else......Special Ops gets the money and the toys. So.....that's where you want to be!
