So Im going to take my asvab...

Here at 5pm Im going to take my asvab. I went in yesterday to the Army recruiter, and took a practice asvab.

After I was finished, he had a computer in front of him, and he was looking at my scores. He was pretty disappointed that I only scored a 29, but then he realized that those werent even my scores! He went into the back room where I took the test and brought back my computer, to find out, I scored a 64.

The Army requires a 30 minimum to join, and anything over 50 is simply outstanding. As soon as they figured out that I was substantially smarter than previously thought, both of the recruiters in there totally changed for the better.

So anyways, depending on what I get on my asvab, Im going to decide what I want to do. After I take it today, Im going to the other recruiters with my score to see who will offer me the highest signon bonus. :D

what the hell is an asvab?

The Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) is a multiple choice test, administered by the United States Military Entrance Processing Command, used to determine qualification for enlistment in the United States armed forces.

ah, i figured it was an aptitude test, just wanted to be sure.
man, if i were you i wouldnt even consider joining the military....but...im not you, you are you.

What, you think I want to go into the military? Im tryin to stay out of jail, if I had a choice, I would just stay in the streets.

the army is full of lies and they will screw you over. your recruiter will tell you anything you want just to get you to join. they dont care about you when they act like they are your best friend.
youtube juba sniper, or look for juba sniper on google.. those are army and marines getting sniped in iraq.. it could be you just waiting to go through some checkpoint and you are taking 5 and stretching your legs and some iraqi is sittin in his apartment smoking a J and drinking a beer and just snipes your ass out of no where.. it could be a little kid shooting you..
i hate this war, i will never join the army or marines or any branch of service.

edit, i didnt see your post about you doing it because you wont go to jail... still though.. i would never go

my bad dude, i shouldnt assume

Sounds like the army might not be a bad deal for you. You can either join up, get some good hard work in, get some experience in something and an education. You might get shot, but if you stay on 'the streets', something worse all together might happen. Besides, if you get shot in iraq, at least you can die with a little more dignity than dying from driving drunk or something.

I wouldn't worry about the asvab unless you really kick it's ass. It's really really easy and the army doesn't care how smart you are. They'll find something for you to do.

Good luck on the ASVAB and with whatever you decide to do.

*REMEMBER* When in doubt pick "C"

Good luck with whatever decision you make.

NOTE: This is the second thread today that really has no buisiness in the politics forum that has potential of being moved. STICK TO THE TOPIC! If this one drifts into an anti-government fuck Iraq thread it will be moved. If you have a political opinion to make that is OFF TOPIC for this thread move the post down a few forums........

Have a good one!:jointsmile:
