yea no way would you catch me heading off to the army at this time. Hopefully you get a job that doesn't require you to be out in the mess of things.

I went 11x...I originally planned for airborne, but apparently they don't give guarantees on that, so I went with an option 40.

BS. They are hurting for people so bad they will if you tell them I am not going to sing unless I get this. Shit we have privates with 20k bonus and airborne in their contract..lol

Go back and get it in your contract before you ship.

yea but why do u think they get the bonuses..airborne and infantry are the first to go in.....more likely to get into sum shyt....dats why they throw the money ou there like dat...dude u only get half up front then the spilt the rest by the years u got left........and when your a private make sure u know wat your spendin your money on......alot of people get fukked over wit finances n shyt HINT dont ever finance anything from a dealer around a military base they know u got money..APR rates are rediculous

Get everything in writing before you sign anything. It's your only guarantee. I have a lot of contacts if you want some guidance or a reference.
