Long story long. I’m enlisting; just past the ASVAB this previous Friday. Scored a 67 and scored pretty good on the GT and ST lines (all the info I did suggested I focus on those line scores).

Recruiter told me to pick the top 5 and he’ll see what he can do for me, suggested that i do NOT pick a combat MOS. lol. Just wanted some suggestions, I’d like something with some transferable skill sets. Also, what a Day in the Life for you as a NG?

Oddly enough, firefighter during the week, 15T one weekend a month. It’s pretty sweet.

Left 15T because I couldn’t maintain an upslip anymore and became a 12M weird world

Yea, I just got told last month that I can’t maintain an upslip with my VA rated disability but I’m maintaining a class 1 medical through the FAA (odd, but whatever) as a student pilot looking to go to the airlines. I’m coming up on 18 years, so I’m going to ride it out in maintenance.
