bmgarcangel 0 Posted July 19, 2004 Right now i'm 17 years of age and i'm going to be turning 18 on september 11th. So far this next year i'm going to finish up my Senior year in High School, then i'm going to stick around till i'm 19, just doing odd jobs here and there, also going to attend Whatcom Comunity College to get my AA. After that i'm going to join the United States Marine Corp and i plan to go into the infrantry. Even though my parents say this and that about not going into infrantry but try working on computers and stuff like that, I say no i'd like to have some adventure in my life. After i get into infrantry i'm hoping i can get into Marine Force Recon. It will take a while though! Currently my job is working at Crusin Coffee and a bunch of Odd jobs, under-the-table jobs, here and there.... ~Bmg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sanctuary 19 Posted July 19, 2004 on day of the summer 1990 : -morning : welcome , you are now considered as a soldier. then lot of bla bla bla, lots of tests, lots of "are you interested in a military career", lots of "no, i have better things to do". -afternoon : "we can't keep you , sorry your military career end today" with my reply "i am not sorry, good bye " i think that is all Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mr_rOk 0 Posted July 19, 2004 Like Messiah said, except I'm not a barman and not even a student anymore. Graphics and some long string of words (read below) says in my resume, but I've got a hobby of producing music, which is becoming more lucrative each year. I actually finished college of management of human resources-organisation in plain English, but my high school was graphics and I got a really nice (easy, nice pay) job and kinda never went down the college path.

Munk 0 Posted July 19, 2004 I was planning on joining the Army but the bastards took too long (applied november, should have done 'selection' last month) and I started to enjoy my life as a postman (get up at 4am, at work for 5am back home for 10am ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kaliyuga 0 Posted July 19, 2004 I'm a student... smoke pot all day  sounds like you and I have a few things in common there Messiah I'm a student too... and I'm going to keep going to school for as long as the government keeps funding my education  I'm about 70 hours of internship work away from an  Applied Science - Music Technology degree, but I'll probably get another degree in business as well before I'm done.  Once I decide to stop going to school I plan on opening a recording studio, and eventually start a record label as well. The military would not be for me at all.. as I can't stand anyone telling me what to do luckily I live in a state/country where I can legally buy just about any type of weapon that would be used in the military and have fun on my own time  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Schoeler 0 Posted July 19, 2004 I was an Aerographer's Mate 2nd Class in the Navy from 1993-1999. That's an E-5 weatherman to you grunt types! I did all the flight weather briefings for those A-6E and F/A-18 pilots dropping ordnance on whatever target they had that day. Â Also did flight weather profiles and flight plans for P-3 drivers, assorted rotorheads and the occasional F-14 jock. I did a brief stint at the Joint Typhoon Warning Center in Guam doing ship routing and routine local weather observations. I am a qualified diver and subject matter instructor as well. Now, I'm a full-time student at the University of Arizona, I'm a Political Science/Pre-law senior. I also work as a plain clothes security officer for a major national retailer, arrresting shoplifters for a living. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BoweryBaker 0 Posted July 19, 2004 I was never in the military I just smoke weed and play flashpoint and make hip hop beats. I'm trying to get a job as a music producer.

Apollo 0 Posted July 19, 2004 I am hyperkenetic.I got a relative good mathematical and analytic mind ,wich is good for informatics. But i am also a extremely active person that needs to discharge lots of energy after work by sports etc ,sitting down after a desk a lot really works on my nerves. I love action and dangerous thing's ,i'm currently training to go climbing in the alps next year with experienced climbers ,did stuff like benji jumping ,rapid river kajacking etc. Â The harder the better really. And i'm almost obessed by millitary thing's ,not just the material but also the tactics ,the endurance etc. hyperkenetic people don't make bad soldiers i heard.Then again they are daredevils from birth. It's strange ,i'm a freedom loving person ,and a pacifist in ideoligy actually ,always been leftist.Yet my mind is sometimes like a switchboard ,if you can turn the right button you can do a lot with me (scary sometimes) ,i know that if i would have an able drill sargent ,he would make me obey him with ease.

Balschoiw 0 Posted July 20, 2004 You have to do it like this: It´s not just standing around and doing a hop Depending on your age the minimal is 205 cm for people up to 24. This will get you 2 points. Any result below is assumed as "failed". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
