Newbie

Post by knightmetro »

Hello my name is Chris. I am Army Prior service. I was stationed at Ft. Lewis in 2003 with the 201st Military Intelligence HHC. Due to my horrible recruiter with-holding medical information(prior ADD) I was honorably discharged very quickly. This was due to a split-op training seat after my junior year of high school. There was no time to correct the issue and I was sent home. Needless to say I was soured in the process. I am currently in Ft. Gordon and trying to get back into the Army(Active).

The military is my life. I grew up an army brat all my life. The Army is the only career I am interested in. I'm not here for the money, in fact I'd do this for free. Now don't get me wrong, I will get all the bonuses I deserve(I'm no fool). A man needs a good car you know! 1998 Supra Twin Turbo ought to do it. 8)

I am here for help in the enlistment process into 11X OSUT, Airborne and OPT. 40. Last time I went to MEPS, I was stuck with 71L. I despize a desk job(no offence, all branches need their sopport positions), so you can imagine how "Administrative Specialist" appeals to me. Truth is, I let the MEPS personell talk me out of what i wanted to do. I was young. I'm much older and wiser after my mistakes, but also realize I may need a few tips and tricks from the more experianced. This is the reason I am here.

For all of you here that have dedicated your lives to being on the front line against oppression, I salute you. Also to the ones who soon will be.

Tip1: Unfuck yourself immediately!

Tip 2: If you want an Option 40 contract, ONLY sign an Option 40 contract. If they do not offer it to you, get up and leave. Tell them to call you only when they have it for you.

Tip 3: Never, Never, Never, Never, Never, Never Quit.

Clearly, you struggled through Military Intelligence, you couldn't even post this in the proper forum.
