I stay steady with my choices. The fun of the trans cammer through the bus stop. That would make D1 happy. Timing and accuracy for sure.

I actually loved the trans cammer, the feeling that the car could bite you in the butt at anytime was incredible, and if you get the first turn right it's just an amazing feeling.

 

[kcheeb]

His post says do both!?! (I can't really read) I want to keep the track and change the car.

You get to provide options, new car and new track for the rest of S.N.A.I.L. to decide on

The OCD most likely cycle Wednesday night and then it will be a hassle to get. IIRC It's over a million which means no trade. Have to use borrow glitch.

Great pick too. Little pushy but not bad really.

See, there FTFY. Don't make my mistake.

BTW, I would like this car too! I choose and NCD car only because tomorrow the OCD changes.

 

[bandit0627]

Does the OCD change in the morning or afternoon? I'm swearing into the army tomorrow and have no idea when I'll be home so answering this question would be greatly appreciated!

No real reason except my sister is in the army

 

[Rallywagon]

Can I ask why not...
Bandit, you signing your life away?

 

[Handlebar]

Can I ask why Army as opposed to the other branches?

I hope it is because he found the right combo of training and options.

(Enlisted '86 91A - medic , Lt in Army Corps of Engineers)

👍

 

[Rallywagon]

really, back then a 91 was a medic? When I got out in 2010, they just reassigned all the "allied trades" to 91 series. so an A I believe is a tank mechanic, a B is a wheeled vehicle mechanic, so one and so forth. They where previously 63 series.
BTW, if you were an LT, you would have been commissioned, not enlisted. Just saying.
And on that note, Bandit, if you are signing up, everything the recruiter is saying is a lie, and regardless of what any enlisted guy says, sign up to be an officer, green to gold, OCS, whatever, just get that commision. far, far better off that way.

No that's the 92 series... I believe lemme check

Edit: nvm you were right... 92 is supply

I'm going for 88m though, I had considered 91b

 

[Rallywagon]

88m? ohhhh man. SMH, ok, maybe its a place to start, but that is one of the worst jobs in the army. Lets break it down like this. You only drive and PMCS, so if there is no mission, and your truck is in good order, which is not a lot and should be all the time, then you have a lot of down time. down time in the army = stupid details. Stupid details = pulling weeds out of rock beds, pick up cigarette butts, sweeping the motorpool... again...
do yourself the favor and reconsider being a driver. To add to that, it is also one of the more dangerous MOS's in our current battlefield. More attacks are done with IED's than anything else. if your going to deal with being blown up, do something fun like EOD. My suggestion seriously though is become an officer. Less BS to deal with and more money. And they will pay your schooling.
You haven't left for basic yet, its not to late to change it up. Make that recruiter work for his money.

Good luck, I just hope that you have research all your options; the recruiters are not the best source.

Bubblehead here!

Here are some PIX for the Stallion around High Speed Ring.

Dont mind the scratches, I was just feeding the Stallion with nutritious grass and makes for good drama effect.

The light is pretty strange in this track, you always have very dark spots even when it is supposed to be in the sunny side. Both side are always too dark.



Can I get directions to the bridge please?
















This one makes a pretty good Desktop Background Picture.

Why does everyone hate 88m... my whole family is against it I scored around a 75 on my ASVAB and have security clearance! I can literally go any mos I want... I've thought about UAV pilot, intelligence analyst's, etc... 88m really appeals to me and I have about... 14 hours till I swear in!

I just wanted to say, I'm proud of you. You're enlisting in the Army and you should be proud of yourself and it doesn't matter what you do. Your signing up to protect the greatest country in the world, yes I'm bias, and be part of the greatest military in the world, bias again.

Every job has menial tasks in one form or another but the difference is you will be wearing a U.S. Army uniform and no menial tasks take away from that. If you want to be a driver, do it. So what. That's what you want to do and that's all that matters. If you were my son, I'd be proud of you no matter what you did. You're doing a great service for your country, thanks!

I give you a hardy handshake and a thank you for your service

 

[Rallywagon]

I'll take this offline with you later man. I spent my time enlisted as a 63b and worked side by side with your MOS. especially since I was part of S&R.
That said, done quick advise, pay attention to your drill instructors. Be serious, but try to enjoy basic, it's probably the most fun you will have doing army type stuff. The point is to get smoked, so get smoked often. Run a train. Be awake first. and never call your drill sergeant sir, they work for a living...
Also, don't get married! Trust me. Watch your peers, see the stupid crap they will do (you will see the craziest things man, especially over seas) and try not to do something your rank can't afford.
The army will take you places, but it will make you suffer through some stupid crap too.
Good luck, and thanks for volunteering.
Oh, also, the gt score, that is the important one from that test. That is the one that determines MOS and school eligibility.

double Ditto ! 👍

 

[ExoSphere64]

Bandit...

Military service is a very personal experience. There are as many opinions about it as there are vets. What you get out of it will be yours alone. Regardless of what branch you decide on, Your time doing the nations business is one of the finest foundations to build a life from. Whether you become a lifer or just do your 4 and separate. My time in the service was one of the greatest adventures of my life. I have been out for quite some time but all of the lessons I learned while on active duty still serve me well.

"This We'll Defend" 👍👍
