sweet. i too swore in, in feb. just on the 27. i have a guaranteed master at arms job in my contract, so they cant change that! but it also helps me in the seal program too. i also leave in august xD. just the...27th again. but dep meetings where im at are kinda pointless but ah well. just something you have to do. what was your asvab score? mine was 61 the first time then the bastards at meps made me take it again. but i made it 66 the next.

[Brick-top]

They made you take your asvab again with a 61???? Thats fucking odd. Cause they offered my master at arms with a 38 bro.

But yeah i was aiming for the medic job so i pushed towards the arthmetic problems and now im going to corpsman school after basic. But yeah we will see each other up in chicago.

yeah, for some reason, they said it was out of date even though i took it within the 2 year limit. but meh..got a higher score so its not too bad.

yeah, ive wanted to go into the seals for a while now and and since ma's deal with more weapons then just shotguns and 9mm, it would help me out for buds. too bad i didnt know that swcc was made into an actual job instead of a secondary one. i would have deffinately have put that as my job. but either way, im still aiming for the seals.

so until then, on to the great lakes!

[Misumena]

You have to serve in the army or marines before you can join the SAS.And even then thats if you are good enough

special armed forces? no you dont have to be in the army or marines. they each have their own special forces. for instance, you have to be in the navy to become a seal, you have to be in the air force to be in their special tactics. and same for the army and their rangers..and so on.

[WildCatzTy]

So yeah, grizzly i got this giant check were taking HUGE, at my senior assembly monday of this week for my g.i. bill, i thought it was good that my recruiter did that. Good for me, and good for advertisments. Anyways graduate this friday then its on with the summer of getting into extreme shape.

[Grizzley]

sweet. for 36 months (i think its around there), that would be quite a good check. but yeah, i know what you mean about getting in shape. im good in everything except running. i could run like no ones business last year but then the summer hit. so that's what i want to work on the most.

but for me, i dont think im going to any schooling, college wise at least. ive realized that college isnt really for me. but one good thing is i start out as a seaman. woot for e-3. so i wont start at the dead bottom. but either way, enlisted or officer, it should be fun.

congrats on graduation. mine was tuesday. and i still havent ran. =(

[WildCatzTy]

Wow i'm still stuck t e-1. Until i get a recruit for my recruiter or complete my mile and stuff. That's amazing how did you get to seaman so fast.

4 years of njrotc in high school. lol people laughed at us but its worth it. that's like...not a huge difference but more money per pay check. you could have done that or like...sea cadets, and the other 'programs' like that. civil air patrol i think is another also. i've heard those are like jrotc but more hands on and less 'graded' like school work usually is.

forgot to add, you dont need all 4. just 3 to get e-3. they dont want to give away too many promotions too fast. but if you do jrotc and go in the marines...youll go in as an e-2 because an e-3 is an nco and you can be a squad leader. so they dont want an inexperienced person just out of training to have that responsibility.

Thats the american armed forces you have to serve in one of the normal forces before you can join the SAS or SBS for the British.

[xSoldierx]

i was wondering...if anyone knows, at annapolis do they train marine officers there too? Like, do you choose when you get there?
Because i was having a dilemma between going to Westpoint or Annapolis.

ah, ok. i see. so the 'normal' forces for the british are the army and marines? because if thats so, then i got what you're saying.

you can become a commisioned officer in the marines through either ocs (officer candidate school) or the completion of the naval academy. more details here.

oops, sorry. that didnt work out like i wanted it to. lets try again.

gah...ok ok. well for some reason they cut off part of the html for the site. but anyway, yeah, you can go to the naval academy and become an officer for the marines. and west point of course just commisions army officers as you know. but if you do go to any of them, good luck and as long as you get past the first year (which is the worst from what i hear from graduates lol) then you should be ok.

[xSoldierx]

ohh, alright. thanks for clearing that up for me.

I am an E-3 in the Marines. Generally, we like to referred by our rank, not our pay grade. That would make me a Lance Corporal. That's not an NCO. Corporal is the first NCO rank. Lance Corporal is the highest of the low ranks, and we fill in the spots for Corporals, because usually there isn't enough of them.

ahh, sorry about that. i must have heard wrong somewhere or something. thanks for clearing that up. but i do know i at least got the advancement through the various programs to e-2 right.
