To tell you the truth, it doesnt really matter. I could have a pissing contest with you, but I am not going too.

This thread is getting completely derailed now, awesome. I understand you’re trying to make a connection between his post and what I’ll experience in boot camp, but it’s like comparing apples to gorillas. Boot camp…yeah, I’ll get an earful of that crap, that’s fine. On an automotive forum, it’s pretty unwarranted. Lock this thread now if it’s going down this path. I don’t really need it open anymore considering I’m not even going into the Navy. I’ve been posting [USCG.org](http://USCG.org) for some time now. ---

Its my understanding that you have a degree already right? Use it for its intended purpose or go in as an officer. Wait it out if there are no available spots open as of yet. After being enlisted for the past 9 years I got sick of it and moved on to a civilian contactor position using the same training I obtained from being enlisted. Being enlisted doesn’t suck it pays pretty well when you get a lot of time in. BUT there is SOOOOO much better out there. I really don’t care what everyone says about someone being strong minded. Basic Training is garbage now. I think it was shiftdead that was posting pictures while in basic training from his cellphone. When I went through I made one phone call the entire time and never slept. Basic is a cake walk now. OCS is easier (according to what other people told me just more book work). Just make sure you get yourself into a career field that has opportunities on the outside (IE intel) get the top secret clearance. This is to have a back up plan or when you want to see the light and realize companies pay 150K - 200K for someone with intel experience and top secret clearance already. If you need anything facebook message me I;m pretty sure I have you as a face book friend on there. ---

If you want to f’ up in life all the time, join the military and wear a uniform and worry about doing push ups. FYI, you can do the same thing by joing the local firehall or becoming a boyscot troop leader. If you want to make an impact on somones life and yours, be humble, be motivated.

Yeah, I’m going to have to completely agree with Cougar here on this one. Some of us have been through some really hard training and lived and graduated. It is an accomplishment but a person never knows what they can do until they are put to the test. This is why the schools are in place, they separate the wheat from the chaff. Back on topic… Deck of cars is just really fun when you get a few other motivated guys into it, no homo.
