I did it guys! I'm not such a loser after all ive been away from miata turbo for quite some time now as many may have noticed. well, not having daily access to a computer and my miata's motor been blown for a while hasn't exactly helped that out either.

Anyway, during the past couple months i've been doing something many of you may have not expected, seeing how i had been acting in my previous posts, quoting Hustler "a little ------" whatever. i probably have thrown the idea around a couple times in a couple posts, not really discussing it with anybody but my girlfriend. but im delighted to share with you this life changing news - - - - - - >


IM NOW IN THE UNITED STATES NAVY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!






i will be shipping off 20100920 for bootcamp!! i'm going to be working as an Air traffic controller on CVN 73 aka USS George Washington...in japan nontheless! the infamous JDM at my fingertips

im really debating wether or not i should buy a house and set up shop over there (debating on making a jdm part business.) they will fully cover any house (not too big, must be a good deal,) that i may be interested in. that way i can marry my girlfriend and we can start a fresh new life over there. i wont live there forever, i'll return after a couple of years.

im planning on going back to automotive school after my first four years in the navy, either that or i may consider working in the FBI for a career. i have had no police record, and i got into the navy, so i should be set

i quit smoking weed, now on my 4th month smoke free ! i had been smoking heavily prior, about 5-6 times a week in college. (but i did pick up a habit along the way im gonna have to stop sooner or later, anyone heard of snus?)

i passed the asvab with a very decent score of 85, missing the nuclear program by 5 points which was a bummer. i wouldve been sitting on a fat bonus check before i get into bootcamp :( but i did manage to pass the drug test, the physical test, and i foudn out i have amazing vision, but my depth perception may be slightly off kilter, i did pass though. weird.


discuss!


p.s. the bad news was my motor is blown if you didnt see it in that gigantic post.

Google just passed the FBI information about your admitted drug use.

I went to a marine recruiting office, they asked if I have ever smoked weed, of course, yes. They didn't seem to care though...they still wanted me to sign their papers.

And snus is good for you.

Shoot SamNavy a PM if you have questions about the Navy. I believe he is on a boat right now. Honestly if I was in your shoes I would probably stick out the 20 years in the navy to get the retirement benefits. After that you should be able to move into a nice civilian job that pays bank.

I imagine that you'll still get to do some sucking in the near future.
Now you're a "total retard" in addition to failing at life.

Best wishes though, I hope everything works out and you become a man for the first time in your life. One day you'll look back on the Hustler Oracle and acknowledge that its changed your life, but please don't bother me because I'll be mid coitus with supermodels and have better things to do than hear your praise for my masculinity and fortuity.

-Banks-

dammit! and i thought google and i were best friends. google, suck my dick


and btw you get retirement benefits even after 8 years in navy! half of what you make. so after 8 years, making roughly 3000 every two weeks: 1500 every two weeks for the retirement plan. not bad at all. plus im gonna be working longer than 8 years, maybe another 4. thats roughly 4500-5000 every two.

you remind me of that doctor on scrubs that always busts everyones *****. he actually cracks me up

and thanks for the *kind* words sir.



dont ask my why i watch that show. theres no extended cable in my ******** fathers house and it was much better than watching HSN, p90x for the fifteenth time, and the spanish channel where i seem to only understand every 5th word of their conversations even after 7 years of spanish.

Aww ****, you fell for the "pick your first duty station" scam huh? I love the military but you can pretty much forget anything they "promised" you that you mentioned in your original post. Are you married? If not you won't be getting **** for a check or living anywhere other than a freakin 6X2X2 hole in a boat.

Have fun. How long did you sign up for if that wasn't already mentioned (I admit I haven't read most of this thread)

EDIT: Just read the "I'll marry my GF and they'll cover my house" thing, good luck with that, I don't recommend getting married for a while, I've seen plenty of people who got married right before leaving for basic or even while in AIT (Army version of whatever they call your job training after basic) and got royally fucked over by her/the Army/or both.

Navy might be in my future, once I am done with school, round three, in ~1.5 years. I tried for the Airforce last year but because of no HS diploma and only a GED, they didn't want me until I had college education. I think the Navy better suits my needs, even though I am in an Airforce family.

Good luck to you. I've been keeping up with a freinds brother that just went to basic about 3 weeks ago, he will be serving on a nuclear sub, he apprently scored high on the ASVAB and gets all kind of big bonuses for his position and gets to skip some ranks.

If I was going to live under water w/o seeing a vag or sunlight for 6 months at a time, you bet your *** I'm getting a big ******* bonus and hopping up the ranks quick.

hate to burst your bubble but the money the guy talked about probly isnt near as much as you think it is.

He'd have to be an E9 just to clear 3k/ 2 weeks gross, not counting BAS, BAH or incentive pays.

Good on you for raising your right hand, OP, you just need to get some ofyour info straight before you make decisions based on the way you think the military works. The 8 year retirement thing, for one, sounds completely bogus. You have to be in the Army for 20 years to pull half.

I know people (friends of my brother) that took your route and are now making 100k in places like Germany and Dubai.

Air traffic controller, I hear thats a high stress job. Good luck man.

Air Traffic Controller, I dont know about navy, but here in the USAF its a high suicide risk. They get mental checks routinely. Good luck man, and dont break in basic.

If Navy basic breaks you....you deserve to be broken.
