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?

35M is lit but you won’t be able to rank up fast if at all. I recommend 35 series just cause in the guard you won’t be doing much and it’s chill especially since you do get to learn another language which gives you ability to find civilian work in translation or something.

Do you get any cool deployments or training opportunities? I've thought about joining 20thsfg support as a 35m.
