that is funny ttkid......... we might be going to the same "school"

 

ok.. say i was in school but they told me i had to get deployed. can i stay? and go to school? or do i have to go?

im not saying i dont want to go, but im just questioning it

 

if you are talking college.......then you gotta go....... you made a commitment

 

ok thanks. about how long does training usually take? and what are asvabs?

 

Nine weeks basic training then you go onto advance training in your particular field, the length depends on the job. For instance a truck driver job is 8 wks while counter intelligence is 18 months. The asvab is just like an entrance test. Your eyesight ins't an issue, as long you can pass the markmanship test you're good. You'll be forced to wear the ballistic goggles with your prescription aka birth control goggles on the range though.

I dunno maybe this can help...

thanks for the input... im going to go talk to a recruiter tomorrow...

and marksmanship i dont think will be an issue... i have fired many weapons and trap shooting is a big hobby... also rifles and pistols.

can anybody go into any field?

 

also, looking at the reserves pay chart... an E1 is ~2600... what is the time frame of pay? is 2600 per year? month?

 

My girl's in basic training right now. she just passed her marksmanship last week. then she goes to Arizona for 22 weeks. She's going for Military inteligence.

 

2600 per month, you get paid every two weeks. That pay chart is only for active duty time though, when you get to your reserve unit you'll only be working 2 days out of the month.

 

ok so its far less... i get it. i think.. thanks guys..

ill probably have more questions later, in school now though and have to go
