Its been too long for me to chime in but do not make the mistake I made. I crushed the ADSVAB and had my choice of what MOS I wanted... and my recruiter talked me into going infantry.

At your age I'd suggest something in the computers field. They always need IT guys and if you have a high security clearance (which you should if you can finagle a Pentagon type job) they'll be fighting to sign you at a Federal agency.

Damn dude... You didn't simply get screwed, he raped you with a Blackzilla sized prick... No lube and absolutely no mercy...

How TF did you ever let him talk you into that deal? Did you want to try out for the 75th or something?

Wow. There are 3 MOS that are given to the "lowest tier" of recruits. Like if you have a GED, score barely enough on the ASVAB, etc.

Infantry is one of them.

I'd hate my recruiter if I were you. Did he also put you in that death box Bradley?

If my math is correct, 51 years ago, there was a nasty skirmish going on. Did you steal your recruiter's girl friend?

You should have run to the nearest Air Force recruiter immediately. You could have eventually worked into a cushy job with the NSA, etc.

Thanks for your service but I don't think I would tell that story to anyone.
