    Do you get to pick where you go into? Like if you're good at fixing cars and computers can you choose to fix tanks OR computers or do they just shove you wherever they have room?
    If there is no sound in space, how come you can hear the lasers?

      Wow, giving someone's name to a navy recruiter sounds like a pretty lame prank.

          *sigh* Great. They're workaholics, man. Looking forward to lots of recruiter calls.

            That's a little extreme. It's a prank, one they consider harmless. It's not harmless, but it's not enormously harmful either.

              It all depends. I'm not very familiar with how enlisted contracts work. I've seen things where it appeared (might just be marketing) that Army enlistment contracts have conditions for specific MOS's that you select before you swear in. Oerdin would know much better.

              My guess is, ultimately it is based on the needs of the branch but if you have demonstrated aptitude (high ASVAB score in a particular area) and express interest in an area, you would probably get it or a related MOS.

                Not nearly as lame as this troll. Seriously dude, you suck at it.

                  He can't be recruited by the FBI to be an agent. That requires a college degree.

                      How is it not harmless? Well, it might bore someone to death.

                        One thing very telling about the difference between the branches is, you go to goarmy.com and you search through careers first:

                        This page was not found. Head back to GoArmy.com or start a search to get back on track.


                        Go to Marines.com and nothing about jobs is anywhere on the site. Tells something about priorities.

                        All Marines are riflemen
                        Army, they're cooks, electricians, etc.

                          You could leave a message at the local gay brothel saying you're interested in work and leaving your friends name.

                          Umh, might be going way too far.

                            I'm not particularly familiar with the gay brothels around here. In fact, I don't think I know of any. I'm also not terribly eager to go searching for them...
