HEY?!!! The Infantry needs smart "big-heads" too! I had a 126GT score AND I still remember which end of a banana to start peeling first.

I wanted to go in the Air Force so they could teach me to fly larger aircraft, I already had pilots rating, and then get out and fly commercial. Did not work out since at that time there was a lot of guys coming back from Vietnam with 1500 combat turbine hours and they were picking up the flying jobs, and I had 20/20 corrected but that was not good enough for them back then.

He could get into aviation and have real good after service job prospects.

Neighbors kid joined the Army, tested real high and got UAV Pilot MOS. He will do 4 years and probably get a 100K job in drone world when he gets out.

The other piece of advice I give to everyone I meet going into the military that no one ever listens to....

Do your 4 years doing something fun. Combat arms. Shoot sh!t up! Then when you get out go to school on their dime to get the paper. Stop trying to get the technical training because almost none of it applies to the real world.

Exactly. My boys all have went to college on the VAs dime. One journeyman plumber business owner, Paramedic / FF and and an MBA. Not a dime of student debt, all have VA home loans. They partied hard, worked hard and chased a lot of skanks...err girls around. Schooling comes later.

I did the same. Good times in the Military, went everywhere I wanted to go, doinked everything I wanted to doink, 100% paid school, and the blessed VA loan ( 4 times ).
