Well, Tuesday May 23rd 2006 I'm leaving for Basic Training. MOS is 63B (Light Wheel Veh Mech). US Army. So I figure I'll have to do sometihng with that enlistment bonus, and what would be a better idea than wasting most of it in none-other-than a Honda When I get back, my ignorant *** will definately be post whoring this place up for help. See you guys in 6 months. Btw, Random-Strike, i know I'm just a n00b but I'm going to miss your narrowminded backwoods conservatism the most. Keep on Keeping on!

 

Actually, I'm not a blind patriot. Its more, my life was headed no where.. Failing out of college, no ambition and just wasting money. Needed new direction and more importantly- discipline. I understand the dangers of war and Bush eliteism, and I understood that from when my pen first touched the paper. I didn't enlist for the money or the nationalism, i did it for me and to better myself as only a soldier can.

 

Sounds like the guy in the recruiting office you went to could sell ice cubes to eskimos man. But I hope it works out for you Ive thought about joining the army a few times. But now I have a small child.

 

Oh, i do. $7k means 3500 when I get back. That 3500 is taxed. Then 2 years later i get half of that which is taxed. then 4 yrs, i get the other half. which is taxed. But its better than nothing, its just a bonus for doing something i wanted to do. ACTUALLY. I never talked to a recruiter. I talked to my currently enlisted friends, which gave me the honest both negatives and positives. Decided, for me, the positives outwieghed the negatives and walked into the recruitment office and told him exactly what i wanted.


****! you crack my ---- dude.
