they didnt pick their job. it was given to them. they will repair firearms (tanks even). so that means they will be right down in the shit fixing broken firearms/tanks etc.
Joining the army?

Why didn't he pick his job?

didnt get the choice. it was chosen for them based on what they thought would be the best job for them.
thats why i could never join any branch of the military: you dont have control over your own life for the length of your contract. to me thats not worth the benefits you get. what if they get you killed making ur life decisions?

You get some kind of say, if what you want isn't available they'll usually give you a list of jobs that are to pick from
I wouldn't join either if that was the case

I'd LOVE to join and put my life on the line.. For a good cause. But we're not fighting for anything worth lives of fathers, mothers, borthers, sisters.. etc..
But believe me, I'd join in a heart beat if we were put out to end another holocaust type of BS.

"Got to... KILL them"
As if it's a privilege..
i understand youve been having a rough time lately but going full well knowing you have a chance of death at any time is a stupid reason personally army is horrible why would you want to go kill people? war is horrible, dont let those government ads fool you about joining the "good fight" and how you will see the world, and get an education, ect ect its not sunshine and rainbows

if you plan to serve as an infantryman, join the marines, youll get better training, and your bros wont leave you behind.
if you want training in a skill for later life, NAVY. try to get into aircraft traffic control or aircraft service. construction battallions and electronic engineering are also good.
the army and air force dont give the enlistedmen much in the way of career training, since most of their maintenance and whatnot is contracted out to civilians these days.

If you want to blow shit up, get a cool uniform, and be part of a brotherhood that persists long after you get your dd-214; join the Marines.
If you want to get a good job after you get out; join the Navy.
If you want to meet Marines and tell them “Man, I almost joined the Marine Corps once.”, join the Army.
That pretty much covers it.

I was under the impression the Air Force has pretty decent civilian opportunities after you're out, too
The Marines and Army do most of the grunt work, so most likely less jobs apply to the civilian world
The Navy and Air Force are your best bet towards gainful employment once your service is up, am I wrong?

LOL, it's not the government ads that get me. Believe me, I've had people try to recruit me. They buy you shit, take you out to eat, send you texts. I just used them for food haha.
And it is dumb to join, I agree. That's why I said I WOULD love to join if we were fighting for a good cause. But we're not. So I'm not gonna join. Unless..... there's a good reason.
