my platoon leader in iraq was a prior service tanker, reached e-5, went national guard during school, got his degree in tree science or some gay shit like that and was commissioned as an officer in the quartermaster branch.  then the dod tasked him as an infantry platoon leader for iraq due to the needs of the army

works differently over here
physically and probably on tests and shit

Like, I've got a buddy who was in AFROTC. After the first two years, you apply for an EA which is basically an acceptance into the last two years where you learn the real nitty-gritty officer stuff. That acceptance is based on PT scores, AFOQT scores, GPA, recommendation by your commander etc.

still, if you dont try you'll never know. I guess you have to weigh the job prospects of your degree to what you can do with the army. Even if you do get placed in psyop, how long until you could get back with the infantry from there (assuming you could)?

And would it be better/worse than... (I don't know what your degree is in or what jobs you could do)

Glad it works differently over here, you apply for infantry, you go through selection and given that you make it through - you get & stick with the infantry. If you want to end up in the upper echelons you need to do lots of different jobs though (understandably).

If only they'd stop cutting the budget, I've been waiting for 2-3 years now.. shit, and it's going to be 4

My sister briefly studied that (didn't finish).

What can you do with it?

More fun than psyop?

Guess I needed
Sometime to get away
I needed some peace of mind
Some peace of mind that'll stay
So I thumbed it
Down to sixth and L.A.
Maybe your greyhound
Could be my way
Police and n****rs
That's right
Get out of my way
Don't need to buy none of your
Goldchains today
I don't need no bracelets
Clamped in front of my back
Just need my ticket till then
Won't you cut me some slack


Chorus:


You're one in a million
Yeah, that's what you are
You're one in a million, babe
You are a shooting star
Maybe someday we'll see you
Before you make us cry
You know we tried to reach you
But you were much to high
Much to high
Much to high
Much to high


Immigrants and faggots
They make no sense to me
They come to our country
And think they'll do as they please
Like start some mini Iran
Or spread some fucking disease
They talk so many goddamn ways
It's all greek to me
Well some say I'm lazy
And others say that's just me
Some say I'm crazy
I guess I'll always be
But it's been such a long time
Since I knew right from wrong
It's all the means to an end, I,
I keep on movin' along


Chorus


Radicals and racists
Don't point your finger at me
I'm a small town white boy
Just tryin' to make ends meet
Don't need your religion
Don't watch that much TV
Just makin' my livin', baby,
Well that's enough for me
