For me, ive always liked the Army Special Forces (Green Berets). They are different from everyone else and very interesting to read up on. I like the whole guerilla warfare training they go through and being trained in different languages. There is so much more to them than the idea of a John Rambo running around blowing stuff up. First Blood movies are still awesome though 
So what would you join if you could?

I was wanting to go Air Force right out of HS.
I had meetings with recruiters, and everything, but then I developed epilepsy shortly after graduation. . So there went that dream. I still wish I could at least get my private pilot's license though.

I'd fly a cargo plane for the Air Force.

I'd be an Apache pilot(Warrant Officer). Your only job is to fly and frick shite up. From what I am told there are only limited duties in dealing with personnel, etc.

That's a service, not an occupation.

Always thought it would be cool to be a fighter pilot. Our stealth fighters look badass.

I did supply too. I reclassified to supply because I was squeamish with blood. If you say that you were supply people think you're stupid though.

Currently a Damage Controlman in the Coast Guard.

Apologies for the weird questions, but do you like being a Supply troop?
I thought I had read before that you have a bachelor's? Just wondering how you got into the Supply world with those credentials.
Edit: Sorry for the derail :(

And that's what I mean when I say that I don't mention that I reclassed from being a combat medic to supply.

Nope. Wasn't my first choice, but got reclassed based on circumstances.

Circumstances
Nah, not trying to be vague. I was one of about 4 Air Force cadets on academic probation at the end of my 4 years of ROTC at A&M. I was the only one of the four to not be granted amnesty, so I got sent to Basic after I graduated from A&M. Supply was one of the few career fields they were shuttling former ROTC cadets into at the time, so that's how I ended up here.
Not proud of it, but the upside is my career field's pretty flexible, so I can be stationed with my wife (who's an Intel officer), as her bases are more limited. Definitely not planning on doing 20 years like my Dad, though

The only thing in military I could do is JAG
Posted on 8/15/13 at 11:17 pm to MCdawg
Fighter pilot. How is this even a question? The US of A pays you to strap yourself in a multi million dollar piece of equipment/rocket and fly it around at speeds measured in Machs. The only thing that would be better is astronaut. Nothing beats an astronaut.

Appreciate the response.
I know a thing or two about LRS stuff and also know how bad it sucks to be re-classed to a job you didn't really want. I was dumb enough to wash out of EOD and get stuck with a shitty job. It's all good though because I had some good times and am about to retrain again.

My best advise to you, stay in school, get your degree and get commissioned. Working for a living sucks.
