Oh........
And their aint nothing special about a 2 yr enlisment in the army into needed jobs.
Score above 50 on the asvab insted of the typical 31 to enter.
And have line score that are decent.
Kids that score above 50 are referred to as A,s
31 to 49 B,s
Your job pick is based on QT and GTscores, line scores for job areas and the projection of training seats per FY on the Army,s needs.
And 2 yr enlistments are used as incentives along with many other incentives for jobs, and length of enlistment.
Combat arms MOS,s have many 2 yr enlistment types.
They do well and generally get out as a e4 or e3.


Oh your GT score is the average of all your line scores in the army.
My Gt was 121
My Qt was 76 ( Qt is that 31 to 99 asvab score thing to enter)
What were your scores Paul.


I literally qualified for all 210 something job,s the army had back in 83.
Recruiters wet dream....
He got an A for one of his typical 2 a month quota.
I just wanted to be an 11B...
2 weeks later Ft Benning....
Aint never looked back since.....



Remember....I did 3 yrs as a detailed slave recruiter for the Army Paul........

Floyd was a criminal who overdosed on fentanyl. He died while an officer was attempting to arrest him. The officer who murdered Ashli Babbit chose to kill her..



But he was protecting congressman, they are very special.

2 yrs 13 f
My geuss is all you might have done was carry the radio and all the extra batteries for a Fister NCO.
13F packmule get up , get down, walk repeat...

Or was you even that or just a FDC type.
What unit were you in???
What Division???


Did you even get your 20 in between both branches.

Havent you referenced in the past you was a mil retiree???


Totally confused now.....


3 years of college, ran out of money. 2 years in the Army, then back to college for 3 semesters. Graduated, went to work for Wal-Mart in their management program. Back then Wal-Mart was the nation's 4th largest retailer and Sam Walton was very hands on. I did that for exactly one year before I decided I wasn't going to spend the rest of my life in a store. Loved many things about the military, loved boats and the water. Loved the combination SAR LE mission of the Coast Guard and joined.

I spent 18 years in the CG and retired. I usually just tell folks that I served 20 years with the CG and retired, because as is evidenced here, the 2 year Army hitch can be a bit of a PITA to explain.

I assume you're talking about Ashli Babbott's murderer?

Just curious. At what point in the video of him murdering her did he attempt to arrest her?


What laws or use of force policy was the officer operating under?


I can guarantee you the policy did not authorize the police to shoot and kill unarmed female trespassers/rioters. I agree that qualified immunity is a significant problem, but Ashli Babbitt was murdered by a police officer.


When my BIL was stationed with the Air Force at Offut, I went to visit him. Offut has some particularly sensitive areas. There are some areas where there are warnings that trespassers will be shot. Same on Navy Nuke ships. When I have asked people about that, they have assured me that trespassers would be shot. I am assuming the same kind of policy may have been in place where Ashli was killed. So, while based on my read of that situation, I wouldn't have shot, my experience tells me it may have been within policy.

Thank you very much for your service Ren, and I mean that. I cannot remember my ASVAB score. I want to say it was a 117...somewhere in the 100teens. I may be mistaken on that. I am horrible with math and the clerical component of the test kinda kicked my butt. It's where you have a whole bunch of really simple math problems and you have to answer as many as you can in a short amount of time.

Here's a story about how hard I tried to fit in Ren. Sergeant Comerford was my boss. He was a tall goofy idiot. His nickname was Big Bird. He told us to go paint the 113. We had painted it just a few months earlier. We freehanded the desert camo. On one side of the 113 I painted something that loosely looked like a middle finger into the pattern. On the other side it was made to loosely resemble "Bird." It went largely unnoticed for a few days before I got my ass chewed and had to paint it again.

AIT Paul....
HQ Batt
What FA unit??

So you really was a driver for 2 yrs and never really did much 13F stuff, never sliced element out to a CA manuver unit, and the railhead was a PITA.
And you honestly dont know much about what you was.
Cause it was all sketchy.
And you can talk a little about bracketing a tgt but know zilch about a fire mission set up as a 13F.

And then you joined the CG as prior service???

Why was I of the impression you was a mil retiree from stuff on here over the years.

Or are you one of those 15 yr retired types from a RIF option or a med retired type???
Or just did some time and got out and went onto to other things.
























Oh Btw Paul
Norman retired late 1991 IIRC.............

Holy crapo was that ever a brain fart. Now you know why I didn't do well on the clerical part of the test. 1983 is when I enlisted. 3 years college, 2 years Army, 3 more semesters of college, 1 year Walmart, 18 years CG. Retired with 20 years of AD service.

Were you like your platoon or sections pet.
The one everyone bounced comedy off on.
But if another platoon or section tried to fugg with ya.
All your buds would stand the fugg up for you in a heartbeat.


Not a bad thing every element in the army from sqd to company has their pets.

Pets are good soldiers many times.
Mostly one task masters, but wont quit and dont goof the fugg off.

Better than being a scorned dud whom everyone wants ta beat the schit out of.


I bet you were a pet type in your section or platoon.

Nope. Not a pet. Worked my ass off. Was very proficient. Major smart ass. Got called on the carpet often. Never for anything work or competency related. Always for my predilection for smartassery. Never had much of a desire to fit in.
