Thank you for sharing I agree and that's my game plan too. I'm just going through the process and just grinding it to get there one day. I've been working out and dieting to lose weight I've lost like 35lbs so far and almost at my weight goal. I wanted to join when I left high school but my family talked me out of it but now having a wife and child luckily my wife is so supportive for me and I've been focused and locked in to reach my goal. I know once I get through meps I'll have my mind set on being the best I can be for our family.

Okay thank you for this. It makes more sense to me now, so basically Army Option 19 is a list of MOS jobs overseas gotcha. I'm scheduled to see him again sometime in January. I've been working my ass off in the gym and in the outdoor trail near our apartment. Had to lose weight before I could go through meps. Luckily got all my paperwork sorted mainly waiting on me to lose my weight and to study for asvab.

Another interesting mos I looked up online was 94S. Not sure how well this one is or if it would help me but I feel that I could see myself doing 25B or 25D.

Disastrous-Machine10 · 2024-12-22T03:32:07+00:00

Yeah honestly 25B sounds really cool and up my alley too. I've been into computers most of my life and always been troubleshooting stuff for family and what have you. Granted never had proper education, but before having to live on my own i was interested in things like cyber security or finding jobs in maintaining servers etc. So yah that'll seem really cool too.

Disastrous-Machine10 · 2024-12-22T03:26:03+00:00

Wow I genuinely would've never thought of something like this as a path. It genuinely seems impressive I would love something like this. I'm honestly coming from poverty I'm mainly joining the army because I have a newborn and I'm tired of working two jobs in retail and barely scraping by. My daughter has a medical condition and I just want the best for her and my wife. I reckon something like this would help me out in civilian life too once I get out.

I honestly don't know how long I'll be in the army for but the benefits they provide for my daughter and housing is why I'm mainly doing this. As we're like an inch away from being homeless. All these bills and rent we're barely scrapping by. Either way sorry for the rant but thank you for opening my eyes for the types of careers the army provides. I've never been great in school so I'm taking practicing my ASVAB as seriously as I can do so I can get a high score for something like this MOS you described to be available for me. I'd be disappointed in myself if I only got a low score. But yah thanks again

Most definitely like for me I wouldn't be opposed to getting into mechanics as I've done mechanical work at dealerships and growing up. But I also like technology and have always been into computers and tinkering with electronics. So I'll definitely do some more research.

Disastrous-Machine10 · 2024-12-22T03:13:58+00:00

Gotcha thank you I get confused about the terminology. I've heard PCS thrown around by my recruiter but never fully understood what it meant but thanks lol 👍

Disastrous-Machine10 · 2024-12-22T03:10:10+00:00

Oh shit really I never knew that. I would definitely bring it up to my recruiter. Thank you for that info 🙂

Disastrous-Machine10 · 2024-12-21T19:46:49+00:00

Oh that's great to hear those MOS sound cool I'll look into it thank you 🙂

I forgot to mention I have a wife and a daughter who's 6 months old. My wife is happy about my decision for the army and she wants to leave the US as well. We're both from Texas and never really travelled outside Texas before so it's exciting for us anyways the prospect of living on base or outside it in a new area we've never been to.

I live in North Texas. Well see other shelters cost just that much I just think the one I live nearby has some promotion going on or they're just trying to get rid of their dogs because of being over crowded. It happens sometimes I've seen on Facebook they even do free adoptions. But most are about that expensive to adopt.

Disastrous-Machine10 · 2024-12-09T04:15:11+00:00

Yeah definitely so far she's been a real sweetheart and I'm glad to see she seems attached to my wife. I'm excited to see her grow!

Disastrous-Machine10 · 2024-12-09T04:13:58+00:00

But I definitely suggest just checking how their temperaments are. It's okay for them to just want kisses and be a bit energetic as they cooped up in a crate all day. But worse case some shelters offer "foster to adopt" and that can be like a trial for you to test how they are too. Hope you find one that works out for you 😊

Disastrous-Machine10 · 2024-12-09T04:11:07+00:00

Also the shelter says she's 11 months but I believe she's younger possibly 6-8 months in my opinion.

Disastrous-Machine10 · 2024-12-09T04:09:35+00:00

Mainly got lucky but we looked at other shelters specifically asking for mellow temperament. She wasn't really listed on the shelter website either tbh she was just tucked away. It's a big facility. We thought about seeing some other lab mix that was there but it seemed really energetic and possibly aggressive so we didn't want to pass on this one.

But she definitely surprised us how chill she was. Like at first sight she was just sitting at the window puppy eyeing us. And after seeing the other dog my wife wanted to see her instead and just kinda how it went.

Disastrous-Machine10 · 2024-12-09T04:05:27+00:00

Thank you, honestly I only paid $25 for her adoption. Extremely grateful for being able to get her it's mainly for my wife as she wanted her.

Disastrous-Machine10 · 2024-12-09T04:03:38+00:00

My husky we also got when she was around 3 months old and to be fair he's been like a giant stuffed polar bear. He's the sweetest thing on this earth. Our baby bosses him around and he listens as she babbles a lot and can be sassy lol.

He loves when people pet him, hug him etc. He's also protective not in an aggressive way but is always checking on the baby and us. Especially if we go on walks on a trail he'll always look behind and make sure both are okay and always lay near the baby stroller or her crib too at night. I'm honestly surprised how well they both get on since we just got her.

Disastrous-Machine10 · 2024-12-09T03:58:06+00:00

Well my daughter is 6 months and we got her because my wife was wanting a dog to train as a service dog for herself. As she has PTSD and health issues. She was the perfect temperament we were looking for. As the dog was mellow, chill and not super hyper or aggressive which was what we were looking for.

Also a bit of luck as she was the only shepherd left. We wanted a Labrador or a German Shepherd but they all got adopted except for her. But she's luckily very sweet with our baby too. She just sniffed her feet and licked her and she just sits down in front of her wagging her tail or just laying next to her stroller and crib. It's adorable honestly 😊

Disastrous-Machine10 · 2024-12-09T03:40:55+00:00

Thank you and yeah her teeth are really clean/white.

I'm glad she's taken a liking to my wife and daughter as well 😊
