Just wondering if anyone is in the military or joining soon. I am set to leave Nov.5 for the Army. Gonna be a 95 Bravo, military police My duty station is Ft.Lewis Washington...which might as well be on the other side of the world being that I am in VA.
So, anyone else? If so what branch and MOS. And how much you like it.

 

i got out of the Marine Corps last year as an E4. loved it, but i was also ready to get out.

 

My best friend is a Marine. He got lucky and is stationed in Hawaii. He's been in for almost 3 years and said when his enlistment is up he's getting out; something about people being too gung-ho.

 

I WAS....I am ex-navy....was a Mechinest Mate (nuclear propulsion mechanic). got out a LONG time ago...was an E-6, loved it....just got out because it was no place to raise a family....and I had just started one. Daddy needed to be HOME with mommy and the kiddos....not sailing the oceans blue. :{D

 

Did my four in the Black Cadillacs(light infantry)full-time part-time.
Now I can't stand walking ANYWHERE....

 

Navy here stationed in Oak Harbor Washington....I'm an E-4 Fleet Marine Force Hospital Corpsman....being that I'm originally from Wa. it's great for me....

 

Chair Force here. Been in 3 1/2 years. Signed up for 6. Hating my job. I like the military though. First couple years were rough but once you hit E-4 its smooth sailing. Annual pay raises guaranteed!

 

So it looks like everyone had(or is having) good times in the military. I have much respect for the other branches of service, but being an Army brat I guess my destiny was sealed at birth All my friends keep telling me not to go but I need to start my life...and buy stuff for my P5 I am actually gonna be an E-3 after A.I.T. because I had 4 years of NJROTC in high school.
I ship out on Nov. 5, turn 21 this August, which only gives me 3 months of

Hey zuMP5, how is it out in Washington? My father was stationed there before I was born so his info isnt so current. Ive heard its really nice and that Seattle is a definte place to go. Do you know of anything around Ft.Lewis to check out?

 

I was in Army Recon. 19Bravo, then trained to be a 19Delta. I did this for 4 years. I left as a E5.

 

19Delta...as in Delta force? What was recon like? How was the training?

 

no way. i just moved from oak harbor in march. wasnt in the navy. but thats cool. I first lived in the apts. atalanta way. then moved out on taylor rd.

 

Pathfinder at first. No Delta stands for I don't have to walk everywhere anymore and Recon was the ****. I loved hunting humans!

The training sucked. It was 5 months of pure boot camp hell.

We had 4 drills and 4 sargents for 24 of us. Only 9 of us graduated. I only did it, because they offered me $10,000 to go to school

We would go out and live off the land for weeks, eating bugs and treebark.

 

Dude USAF all the way Fire Fighter best job in the world. My dad is a LT Col in the army he is an MP and I am from Washington. Ft lewis is awsome except for all the damn rain Seattle kicks *** thats Where I am from you will have a blast. The military is a good way to get on your feet. But if any one else joins. Join garanteed USAF fire fighter. I am at work right now and look at all the hard work I do. after this I am going to go and play PS2 then maybe take a nap. Yup all in a good days work

 

Wa is cool man especially Jul-Aug...it's Seattle's Dry season...there's all types of **** to do around Seattle and Tacoma bro...it all depends on what you like to do...plus you can take a little trip to Canada...the females up there are bangin

 

I had a friend that was in the marines, before he left man he used to laugh and joke and all that , when he came back , I used to try and kick jokes with him and he would not even smile , I would ask him questions and he would frigin just tell me what I asked for and that's it , nothing else , there was no ,,,, ohh and while doing that ,, ohh no , he just told you your answer and that was it ,.. I was like damn man they really changed him almost like frigin brain washing ,. no offense to anyone in the army or marines and all , but if I had to join , it would be straight to the airforce
