| 1 | I LOVE YOU ❤ |
| 2 | What’s good |
| 2 | Ah, you got an apartment |
| 2 | BroC is a champ |
| 2 | Damn, that’s steep. NJ is expensive |
| 0 | Welcome to live chat! Remember to guard your privacy and abide by our community guidelines. |
| 2 | The one bedroom may be tough, but at least BroC gets some privacy |
| 2 | Maryland ain’t cheap |
| 2 | Yeah, I went to take the ASVAB and got my physical. If I pass the background check, I should be shipping in November |
| 2 | It’s the Army National Guard |
| 1 | you gonna work drunk |
| 3 | ASVAB = The Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery |
| 2 | No, I get sea sick |
| 2 | But yeah, I am at my moms place. Hence why I am joining the Army lol |
| 2 | I already passed the ASVAB and I picked my job. They are doing a background check for a Security Clearance for the job |
| 2 | Intelligence Analyst, or something of the sort. I’m too old for combat |
| 2 | I don’t really know. They gave me a list of jobs I qualify for and I picked Intelligence Analyst |
| 2 | No, it depends on the score you get on the ASVAB. I got a high score, so I could pick whatever I wanted |
| 2 | But yeah, it’s the National Gaurd. I doubt there will be much analysis going on. I will probably just sit around two days a month |
| 4 | mebanks mebanks? |
| 2 | No, it’s one weekend a month and like 500 dollars. I will make active duty pay when I am at Basic Training and AIT |
| 4 | mebanks mebanks mebanks |
| 2 | So when I get back, I will have a good nest egg to get an apartment |
| 4 | drop and pin link |
| 2 | It’s free healthcare and I can probably get a masters degree for free |
| 2 | I don’t know. I gotta do something lol |
| 2 | Basic is 10 weeks and AIT is like 20 weeks |
| 2 | Yeah, it’s back to back |
| 3 | AIT ?????? |
| 3 | WTF is AIT???? |
| 2 | Advanced Individual Training |
| 5 | 👋 |
| 2 | In AIT they give you access. |
| 2 | It will be miserable |
| 2 | It’s only a three year contract |
| 2 | And it will be local to me. Everything is around Baltimore |
| 2 | I think you can transfer to another state, but I’m not sure how strict they are. The recruiter hypes everything up, but it is more shitty |
| 4 | I can't afford to go to baltimore |
| 2 | I actually know very little about Basic Training and AIT. I just know it’s in South Caroline and Arizona |
| 6 | Baltimore is just awful. |
| 2 | Nah. I will have enough saved by then to get a cheap place until I find a job |
| 4 | is parkerpeters a real person or an alt troll? |
| 6 | I hope I'm real. |
| 2 | I think they pay you once a month. They give you a housing allowance to, but I need to get on a lease before I ship out |
| 2 | Nah, I have to get on a lease. If I can get on my moms lease, they will give me another 2000 a month |
| 2 | Nah. The Army will pay your rent when you’re gone |
| 2 | She has an apartment. But she really is a piece of work, so convincing her is going to be bad |
| 2 | Nah. National Gaurd doesn’t pay a housing allowance, only Active Duty |
| 2 | Yeah, I am in limbo. I have to wait for him to give me instructions |
| 2 | 500 a month, and really good healthcare. Maybe I can go active duty a couple of times and make some extra cash |
| 2 | Nah, it’s only for the three years. I also won’t be a veteran, so I won’t get VA |
| 2 | It’s also two weeks in the summer |
| 2 | Well, I am kind of out of options lol. Also maybe I get a good job from my military training |
| 7 | free broc |
| 2 | lol It will be something to put on my resume |
| 2 | I also get to learn how to shoot a gun |
| 2 | I was thinking of that song when I said it |
| 6 | Nirvana! |
| 2 | Lmao No, it is job training. I hope. |
| 2 | A top secret security clearance might do something |
| 8 | I thought he said he was too old for combat. Why does he need to go to boot camp for 30 weeks then? |
| 2 | I don’t, but it sounds cool |
| 2 | It is like 3000 a month for pay, and if I were to get the housing allowance another 2000. |
| 2 | I would also be a higher rank and pay grade coming in because of my degree |
| 3 | $24,000 |
| 9 | hey oc broc |
| 2 | I won’t be a millionaire. Look, I could stock shelves for the next six months or I can do something a bit more stimulating |
| 8 | so he's going to get $60K tax free not bad |
| 2 | I don’t think it’s tax free |
| 2 | I think your job is not allowed to fire you |
| 2 | If I stay 6 years, I can get a VA home loan, and the 9/11 GI bill kicker. I don’t want to stay 6 years though. |
| 2 | Yeah, you can resign. |
| 2 | Nah, the education benefit is like from Maryland not the army. The GI Bill is different |
| 2 | The GI Bill pays you to go to school. The education benefit is like Maryland schools helping. |
| 8 | I miss the reason why he wanted to join the service. Is it for the benefits? |
| 2 | Yeah, the benefits and something to do for the next six months. |
| 2 | I told you. The job market sucks |
| 2 | I still have a part time job |
| 2 | November |
| 2 | 4th |
| 2 | And like two weeks off for Christmas |
| 2 | AIT may be shorter depending on the exact job I go for |
| 3 | JUNE 2, 2027 |
| 2 | Yeah, you gotta add two weeks |
| 3 | JUNE 16, 2027 |
| 2 | Yeah, the two weeks is like out of state training |
| 2 | I picked three. |
| 3 | ass wiper, shit scrubber, urine tester, nurse's aid |
| 2 | Something like Geospatial intelligence analyst and signals analyst |
| 3 | 1) Intelligence Analyst, 2) ??? 3) ???? |
| 2 | The ASVAB is scored by how well you do compared to other people. I got a 93. So 7 percent of people got higher than me |
| 2 | I don’t know how that works. Lonehiker would like Geospatial though. It is looking at maps all day |
| 2 | They gave me a choice of like 30 jobs. A lot of them were like cook, janitor, infantry and stuff like that |
| 2 | Those AITs are like 6 weeks |
| 2 | I’m not “in the army.” I haven’t signed anything |
| 8 | What types of questions are on the ASVAB? Is it like taking a college placement test? |
| 2 | It’s not a done deal. I could pull out if I want |
| 2 | It’s like an IQ test |
| 2 | No, if everything goes right, then I will leave in November |
| 3 | if i choose to do this, i'd ship out in NOV |
| 3 | I ship out in NOV, i do 30 weeks of taining |
| 2 | Maybe I meet a hot wife and win a million dollars. Anything could happen in two months |
| 3 | When is the POINT of NO RETURN??? |
| 2 | I can change my mind. I think my recruiter would be pissed |
| 2 | I can technically change my mind in boot camp if I want. |
| 2 | I actually don’t know |
| 8 | Is he already accepted by the army, or is he waiting for them to reply to him? |
| 2 | If you quit in basic training they hold you there for a couple months though. |
| 2 | I am accepted. I passed the ASVAB and MEPs. I am waiting to get approved for a top secret clearance |
| 2 | I haven’t sworn in though |
| 8 | You can't drop out of boot camp because it's hard. It doesn't work that way. |
| 2 | If I don’t. I will probably just pass on the Army |
| 2 | The easiest way out of basic is passing it. They will basically put you in solitary confinement if you quit |
| 2 | Glad I could enlighten you |
