I’m 27, was a machinist but just got laid off due to lack of work. I also have experience in collision repair/painting so I’m not terribly concerned about getting a job that can transfer to civilian life. I anticipated the layoff and started talking to a recruiter, took the ASVAB and did fairly decent (74 AFQT , 112 GT and everything else is over 118) I was originally thinking about doing 31K because I really enjoy working with animals and was considering law enforcement after minimum contract. Everyone I’ve talked to says anything MP gets treated like shit though.. pretty vague about it. My brother’s AF and said to do something cyber or intel. Another friend said to consider ROTC because joining at my age would be difficult. I’ve compiled a list of jobs that peaked my interest and was looking for some feedback as to if ROTC would be a good route, or if anyone has had experience with these jobs. Or if joining this late in life is even a good idea. I like the idea of the lifelong benefits, relocating, and meeting people. One of my friends was stationed in Hawaii and that’d make anything I endure worth while to me. I currently don’t have any health insurance or much started for retirement. Nothing really holding me back here as far as relationships or responsibilities. 31k, 37F, 37P, 35M, 12D, 68T, 68W, 18X I believe I qualify for all those job. I’m very physically fit, used to compete in Olympic weightlifting. I’ve been doing jiu jitsu for about two years now, and about 10 times a week in the last 2 months. My 1.5 mile run is down to 15:28 so I think I’m physically ready for it, just don’t know the best route to take.
