    Default Well, we're over the first hurdle!

    So, I spent all day Teusday at MEPS (Military Entry Processing Station) and I passed my physical! Now, all I have to do is pass an Orthopedic Consultation at MEPS and I'm IN!

    Makes me fell all *hooah* n stuff LOL.

    So, I'm considering the following:

    These 5 jobs would allow me a day job, and give me the freedom to take classes at night.

    44C Financial Management Technician
    42A Human Resources Specialist
    42L Administrative Specialist
    25M Multimedia Illustrator
    46Q Public Affairs Specialist

    These next two are more along the lines of what I'm interested in:

    68W Health Care Specialist (Medic)
    68T Animal Care Specialist (Vet Tech)

    Dh works in the Administative area , ( one of his many MOS"S) . You can keep somewhat regular hours doing that and manage to have a life.

    I would take whatever MOS will be most practical to you in a civilian field. If you wanna be a nurse, then go in as a medic, if you wanna be a financial planner then do the finanical mgmt mos.

    Congrats!
