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.
I graduated in August 2000. I went to Meps in October 2001 a full year later. I worked in accounting and finance for about 9 months prior. I got fired so had to join the Army because my dad would leave me out of his will ,and going to war would be terrifying I joined I got deployed to Kosovo because I knew I wouldnt end up in a war zone with my dodgy legs, it was a massive relief in the end. Germany was fun but barracks were like being back in a dorm room with freshman the other soldiers were younger everyone my age was married in married housing. Not really sure why you guys find this so interesting or remarkable and I have been through it before
Officers absolutely choose our MOS. Where the fck do you get that dumbass info? You did NOT make E4 in Basic. That is total BS and there are plenty of enlisted men with college degrees.
You don't have to make E4 you start at E4 if you have a 4 year college degree or at least that is what I got I also got a cash enlistment bonus. I showed up to my first duty station as an E4 Specialist. I received E4 pay from day 1 in basic but no one wears any rank on their BDU during basic. I became a specialist at basic graduation and wore my rank at that time. I never wore any private stripes. I really don't need to argue about it.
all that was based on Daddies money
No it was based on me having earned a college degree
because your daddy bought it for youHow did you find time to study with all the fights?You wouldnt have been able to write most days with your broken hands
It was a public University they don't sell Degrees
