Leave after 4/6 years

Congratulations you are now sought after. OCS is a joke.

>>56496726
Dude I have nothing else going on in my life. I just got laid off and the job market is rough.

At least the army will give me a chance to learn new skills in a tough economy. Also fuck it, I am getting older and im 27. I don't want to look back and regret it.

>>56496714
LMAO eat a bullet you zogbot faggot

>>56496728
Please listen to this anon. They know.

>>56496728
OP thank you.

That was what I was thinking of doing. Except in my case i am not going Active Duty and am reserves. I wanted to go Signal or MI but I hear it is competetive and it's hard to pick your branch. I would love to get a PMP, but with the enlisted job I picked I am still getting valuable IT experience and Secret clerance.

Am I making a good choice or should I cancel my ship date and reapply as an officer instead?

I would love to go signal, but there is no guarantee I would get it as an officer

>>56496728
Also would it be possible to get the PMP as an officer in the reserves? do you know?

If i could get the PMP with part-time hours for 36 months would i qualify? I know it takes about 3 years to get it. So would that mean I need to be an officer for atleast 3 years?

I was considering just going the NCO route and doing it that way.

>>56496757
Do you have a degree? If so, you're retarded for even considering enlisted.

t. enlisted reserve e-4 who's reclassing to 25B

>>56496757
As a reservist you are supposed to have your branch prior. You affiliate with a unit and a billet prior. NG is a bit different, but they still have a large degree of preference in what they want.

As signal you’ll get your TS/SCI, and the ability to go get the credentials as I mentioned, which make you competitive to obtain these very comfy remote management positions.

Enlisted reserves/NG isn’t bad. But if you already have the degree, why bother? At 27 you’ll be in a lot better condition to go and succeed than some of these 17-24 year old mongoloids that show up

>>56496775
>t. enlisted reserve e-4 who's reclassing to 25B

Yes man I have a bachelors in Communications. How is it retarded man? I mean i am trying to learn computers and IT like you. I wouldn't be able to learn the really technical stuff as an officer.

Wouldn't technical skills be more valuable to hr stacies once I am out?

>>56496791
I didn't know you get to pick your branch applying to be an Officer in the army before hand. I thought you have to compete and you have to choose what they give you at the end.

do you know if officers in signal still learn IT/technical stuff?

>>56496830
Yeah as a reservist you do, don’t let them shit head recruiters tell you different.

Yeah they still learn technical shit. Like MI, which I formerly was, you actually have to do work. It’s not always just the enlisted.

Or google signal officer BOLC

>>56496714
Just make sure you get your TS security clearance when you get out and your basic SEC+, CISSP, CCNA, or others certs during your enlistment. That with IT and you are essentially going to be making six figures when you get out and are highly sought after by namely any company there is.

>I.E. 35 Series got out after 4 years and didn't even need to go to college. 6 figure salary too.

>>56496791
Now I feel like I fucked up going enlisted kind of shit man.

>>56496714
Thank you for serving greater Israel goy. Your brave sacrifice is appreciated,

>>56496890
nah don’t bud, go down and change. The hard work is worth the effort, plus it’s their job

>>56496714
All you had to do was signup for a 3 month A+ cert program and take the exam, then reach out to a recruiting agency. IT isn't hard to get into.

>>56496890
Training gets way easier when you are in any intelligence sector of the military.

Just be glad you aren't joining artillery or because you have no other options.

Be warned that national guard does get deployed more often than enlisted does.

But more honestly you should go for training that you want as a career outside of the military. Personally if I had to enlist again I would do photography.

>>56496736
You’re going to regret having no legs, ptsd, and dealing with shaquina at the va

>>56497072
Bruh I just said I am going for MI and IT. I'm not dumb enough to sign up to be infrantry. I don't want to shoot or get shot at so I didn't pick a combat job lol.

But yeah Shaquina will be an issue, I already see I will be dealing with lots of blacks

>>56496795
>How is it retarded man?

coastie here in a completely unrelated field. youre a dumb nigger. have fun making $800 a paycheck and scrubbing pubes out of the shitter.

>>56496795
>I wouldn't be able to learn the really technical stuff as an officer.
says the faggot who hasn't gone through boot camp and knows nothing. Did your recruiter tell you this?

You know what, don't become an officer because you're a fucking idiot and there are already too many of those

>>56497271
Bitch I am about to serve, why are you hating?

I did my due diligence and done a shit ton of research on Reddit from former officer to see what it's like and weighed all the pro's and con's.

Being an officer is a title with prestige, not something I really give a fuck about. I don't want to feel elite just for a title, I want to learn real life skills and be a fucking retard with the other retards if that gives me cool memories

>>56496714
>I am shipping out to Boot Camp in the U.S. Army in 3 weeks
Lol you're going to die for jews.

>>56496736
>just got laid
stopped reading there, congrats!

Did they do that today?

>>56496714
Are you fucking stupid? You can be an officer but you decided to enlist? That's hilarious, check in with us in 6 months and let us know how that's going dipshit

>>56497539
I can always be an officer in the future cant I? whats wrong with learning some tech skills first man

>>56496714
>asking this /biz/ on instead of /k/

There's only yurops and liberals on this board dude. They nothing about the military here dude.

why are you enlisting just to learn IT? get network+ and security+ and start applying for entry level roles
i was in a similar position as you but ultimately decided against it and now i do IT for the govt. you can get much further as a civilian in 4 years than you will in the military

>>56497086
Is the pay worth the amount of nonwhites you habe to deal with? That's the real question.

>>56496714

>enlisting in the military to gain IT skills that amount to having a Comptia A+, Network+, and Security+.

Do white people really?

Dude.

There are literally companies out there that will teach you all the tech skills you want as long as you agree to sign a contract to work for them or one of their clients for 2 or 3 years, WHILE paying you a competitive salary.

>>56497715
Nah man I'm not white. I am mexican, and i think that makes it harder for me to get a good job

>also i am not just doing it for the certs. I'm also doing it for the top secret clearance which is priceless and the military experience on my resume.

Sucks being an ugly mexican but this is what I gotta do.

Do you think I will be more hire-able if I go Officer instead?

>>56496728
Officers are not sought after in the civilian market really. Just do your adso and then go to an MBA program at a good school. They dont give a shit whether you were an officer or not. Signal officers literally learn nothing of value they just wrangle tards or are a staff weenie like all junior Os.

>>56497594
>I can always be an officer in the future cant I? whats wrong with learning some tech skills first man
you are actually fucking retarded. You could've learned tech skills as an officer, and you'll be the type of roody poo nigger who fucks off with a failure-to-adapt discharge in your first 180 days.

>>56497852
Op again.

What type of tech skills? If your gonna call my ass dumb atleast back it up with some knowledge.

Field artillery army officer here. Don't do army. go air force reserves or air national guard. Sign up for 60 day deployments after boot. non stop deployments to islands and asia until your sick of living the life in air force accommodations. that's what i should have done.

If your set on army then if you can, become an officer. more freedom to do what the fuck you want as long as your self motivated and get shit done. you don't have to do as much stupid shit as an officer.

>>56497862
well first of all you're a dumb nigger for joining the army. Listen to this anon >>56498267


As an officer, you would way more freedom to do whatever the fuck you want. You may not always be required to go through the same trainings as your enlisted, but you absolutely still can if you want to. Depending on your command, it would probably be encouraged.

If you're honestly listening to every thing your recruit says during the largest recruiting crisis the US has seen since vietnam, you are MONKEY. Honestly we shouldn't even be telling you this shit. You'll fit in perfectly enlisting in the army.

army is gay join the AF or CG

>>56497741
100% yes, but you should go ranger anyway. It's completely useless, but you can roll up your socks really cool, pick up people into fireman carry from a roll, and get a bunch of other very, very cool skills.

Of course you also need to run 5 miles in 30 minutes while deadlifting lol3plaet.
