Or maybe not shocking but everyone seems shocked...


I joined the navy

[Mike]

Seagull fucker....

[Steve]

Well who wants to be a marine

[micah]

congratulations. that is very cool 

[Jake]

so how did you decide on that over uni?

[Steve]

Fun, travel, money, etc

Got a guaranteed shot at buds (seal school) and a 25k sign on bonus (10k before bts) also which sealed it

[Jake]

cool. so when are you going to basic?

[Steve]

Few weeks have to take the asvab to satify the paper work but my contract is signed

Is all of that in writing?  If not it doesn't exist and was never said.

You are so going to fail the ASVAB.

[Steve]

Yes every word is in writing. I even made them put in the contract that my terms can't be modified or voided based on asvab results. Recruiter is bringing me the asvab booklet and a copy of the actual, current asvab to study with.

 It helps to have friends.

Good luck mate, I could see the Navy lifestyle being right up your alley

[KnuckleBuckett]

Holy crap.  I thought you were joking.  Keep us up to date!

[Govtcheez]

my brother is getting out in a year and a half.  it did him a world of good.

[ahluka]

Cool, g'luck.
I considered joining the army a while ago and may reconsider if I'm still a freeloading bum this time next year-ish. IT / Comms would suit me down to the ground. I could do with the discipline too, to be honest.

[Steve]

Thank god you would be in charge of another countries IT.

Thanks guys, I'm scared but I'm excited. Its going to be hard as fuck. Basic is going to suck but its buds I'm fearing the most. I refuse to wash out but that's going to be insane...
