11Charlie (mortarman infantry) and I came out of basic an E4 because I already had a degree. I enlisted in the infantry because that is what my grandfather was and they allowed a 2 year enlistment. In retrospect I should have gone in as an officer and been an accountant in the Army (officers don't pick MOS it gets assigned they also have to do a 6 year sign up. I had a recent finance degree so they would have made me a bean counter). I could be retired by now but at the time being 23 I thought being infantry and going to war would be fun then they sent me to Kosovo instead anyway. I moved to Manhattan when I got out of the Army I went to school in Brooklyn as a kid for a few years when my mother worked on Wall Street so that is what I wanted to do. Again in retrospect an army finance job would have been the better plan.
Interesting, your mom worked on wall street now?
You said she was an airline hostess, remember that tale?
I'm guessing, she moon lighted on wall street while flying using her iPhone, right?
Your mom was working on wall street in the 80s and 90s when women weren't on wall street yet.
I'm guessing she was a pink sheet escort.
Everything Brian says is a lie.
