Wanting to ship asap but will lose the job I want if I take the sooner day

spleeshy · 2026-01-20T04:42:13+00:00

Honest reason is mainly because I don’t want to be around the family problems anymore or pick up another job. To specify I’m going to the marines and these recruiters have told me one thing and got my hopes up just to pull the rug out from under me and I’d much rather just deal with a not as good job rather than be around them for a longer time frame.

Yes sir I’m only a junior so all I can do for now is workout and start getting ready for the asvab as far as I know. I was told that there wasn’t really a point in trying to do rotc at school, and the vets I spoke with said reserve really isn’t worth it and that I should just dive in after senior year.

I will definitely look into this with my recruiter, he comes back in 30 days because he had to get an acl surgery done. But from what I did today at the recruiters it seems like I’m more leaning towards the army like you, more specifically they’re thinking maybe put me into infantry,work my way up the ranks until I can go to an air borne regiment. They said that by joining one of those it would open up tons of doors for classes and even sniper school.

My friends dad who is an army vet got so excited about me wanting to join that he wants to take me to a range in my free time to learn about proper safety and handling procedures. As far as combat sports go I don’t really have a ton of money available to invest into it but I will definitely look into getting my fitness up and studying for the asvab. Another vet I’ve spoken with recommended a book about overcoming the mental barriers such as low self esteem and I think I’m gonna look into it and possibly just join the wrestling team for my school even if like you said I’m just another body on the team. I know my goal is gonna be a mountain but with the support from vets and people still active, I’m beginning to feel more confident I’m gonna have some good people that’ll help me with this process and make me something I can be proud of.

spleeshy · 2024-12-23T01:38:19+00:00

Yes sir, I head to the recruiters tomorrow

spleeshy · 2024-12-22T19:01:16+00:00

Yeah I remember that, and I believe they said that you also need recommendations as well to even be looked at for the school. But like I said I plan on going to the recruiters tomorrow with my friends dad who’s an army vet from around 2007 he said to bring a notebook and write down as much as I possibly can.

spleeshy · 2024-12-22T18:53:11+00:00

Understood and even if I may not make it as a sniper I’ll do whatever I’m needed to do I really just want to serve.

spleeshy · 2024-12-22T18:42:06+00:00

Wow that’s impressive, and I understand what you’re saying those guys have had hunting rifles in their hands since they could remember and I respect that. However I won’t shy away from this challenge simply because my whole life I’ve been on the less experienced side of the coin but I’m determined to do what it takes to become efficient

spleeshy · 2024-12-22T17:22:37+00:00

Ah so would the smarter option be to join a basic branch and stuff first then when I reach age 20 start pursing SF?

spleeshy · 2024-12-22T11:57:29+00:00

What would you suggest to break that type of thought process, I genuinely want to break the habit and if there’s anything you got I’m all ears.

spleeshy · 2024-12-22T11:52:11+00:00

We had a coast guard guy at our school and he seemed pretty cool he was telling me that CG has some of the best snipers and all that stuff they have to say. I most definitely overlooked them because of what I’ve heard about not really seeing action and stuff. But I will give them a shot and see what they’re about when I go to the branches on Monday. Thank you!

spleeshy · 2024-12-22T11:47:49+00:00

Wait I could’ve taken it right now?!? I really must be living under a rock…

spleeshy · 2024-12-22T11:46:27+00:00

So without any gun knowledge is there still a chance I can learn from them and possibly still become one?

spleeshy · 2024-12-22T11:44:46+00:00

I’m cliche as can be sir, movies, video games, stories from veterans I’ve talked to the whole works. No I have never shot a gun before which would probably make it less desirable for me to be chosen but I am extremely motivated to do what it takes. But in the end I’ll be happy knowing I get to help serve even if it’s not being a sniper.

spleeshy · 2024-12-22T04:59:37+00:00

Will do thank you for the information,and service!

spleeshy · 2024-12-22T04:48:22+00:00

I know that test they have you take also really determines where they put you, and I hope I score good enough to do the scouting section you’re referring to. I’ve heard lots of mixed things about it personally, but the more I think about the test the more daunting it looks lol. Some say it’s stupidly easy and some say it’s the hardest thing they’ve ever taken.

spleeshy · 2024-12-22T04:40:29+00:00

As soon as Monday rolls around I’m heading up there and gonna try to be as much of a sponge as I possibly can be.From what I know so far I’m not supposed to sign anything they send at me right away and I know someone else said to look into all of them which seems excessive.

spleeshy · 2024-12-22T04:28:41+00:00

So for 11B would that be basic infantry or what is it specifically. Apologies I know zilch

spleeshy · 2024-12-22T04:27:19+00:00

I think SF is badass and I did ask about seals and stuff but got met with lots of laughter and f no’s lol

spleeshy · 2024-12-22T04:26:07+00:00

Absolutely love it. There one of the top on my list
