I just came back from MAPS in Raleigh yesterday. Took the ASVAB, physical,talked to the doctors etc and was sworn in. I'll be a "imagery analyst" which is just want it sounds like. I start basic training after graduation at Fort Jackson, and my job training is on Fort Huachuca in fuging Arizona, which is funny, because I've never been west of Tuscaloosa. I've been from Mobile to Maine, but never west of Tuscaloosa. Anyway, the pay after bills and fuging taxes is good, I can go to college after my 3 years and 38 weeks, and if I get shipped to Afghanistan (which is very probable) I don't pay taxes at all. I'm just happy to serve, and it will look awesome when I run for President in 20 years.;)

Congratulation!

One word of caution. Don't bet the farm that you will end up where they promise to put you.

I was supposed to go into the Marines flying Sea Cobra choppers! (Rain Death down from above!) :thumbsup:

My Father asked me to ask my recruiter what his field was. Seems he had a Masters degree in Physics and wanted to be a teacher. He was a life long paper shuffler for the Marines. (His words.) My warm fuzzies went out the door at that point. I figured that instead of flying, I'd probably been a fry cook for the troops of something!

I was supposed to go in after high school, but my Father talked me into going to college first. (It was the difference between going into the Marines as a buck private or 2nd Lewy!) They kept in touch with me all through college. When I found out that my recruiter was a paper pusher, I decided to accept IBM's offer as an engineer. (I did make it over during Dessert Shield. I Helped design a box for them. "Civilian Contractor".)

Make friends with the Special Ops guys. They have a thousand gruesome stories to tell and if they like you, they watch your back, no matter what! (Oh, and they love to tell you "A hundred ways to kill a person!")

      Jim Caldwell out

      I may be way off base, let’s include this in that questions thread, but with the way the offensive staff turned on each other in 2023 I am happy to see anyone involved, gone. I had a bad feeling about Caldwell over it.

      Rasheed Walker for Kris Jenkins Jr.

      No poo tho you might could Jenkins for Legette. They got nothing at WR after the big 2 in Cincy. I don’t think you trade away OL depth. Could get a quality player in cuts. Really that 3-4 end spot what you should be looking for is someone who is stout with long arms and can push back the OL in both the run and pass game for others to make plays…. But we signed Wharton, sometimes I think Evero is a fraud ass nerd who should be an analyst at best.

      you would honestly probably do Monroe Freeling more of a disservice by putting him in a position where is not yet ready to succeed. .we all knew Monroe Freeling struggled at the NFL combine in drills because of technique related issues & would need time to develop  & now all of a sudden before they even put the pads on Monroe Freeling is somehow a starting LT in the NFL ? if he struggled at the NFL scouting combine what do you actually think is going to happen in a live NFL game at LT ? .even our best LT of all time was not ready to start at LT when he was a rookie & he turned out to be a pretty good darn LT by the name of Jordan Gross ...just saying be patient Young Jedis
