In my previous post, I said to try for the Air Force. But that's only a recommendation if you're determined to join the military.
However, I don't recommend joining any military service. It's a sham and a waste of life.

I would tell me to go to OCS if they want to be in the military.
Officer Candidate School.
Youll need a college degree of course.
But they pay is better.
Lots of job options

Well, I talked to recruiter the other day. I took a practice test and scored in the high 70's with no studying at all. I think a 50 is required to get in. I thought some of my tattoos would be a problem but I tried on the jacket and he said they're fine. Actually, I seen a female recruiter with tattoos near her hand. He didn't say yes or no to my record but I need to bring him a copy of everything showing that it's taken care of. I don't know why they can't just do a background check on me themselves and decide that way. He said felonies are a no no but you should be ok as long as it's nothing recent and you're not getting arrested over and over.

I was in the AF 6 years. Pretty damn easy and pretty close to a normal life. Badass TDYs to places like Lithuania, Bulgaria, Sweden, Las Vegas, all for a month or 2 at a time . Also, stationed in the UK for 3 years. Really lucked out with an incredible job that pays great on the outside.

I could provide u with quite a bit of info about the AF if you have any questions. Like I said, I was in 6 years and in that time I was stationed on 3 different bases and had 5 TDYs/deployments. I spent significant time on 6 different types of aircraft

TP - Navy. I know. I'm pretty much fucked with government type jobs because of a record. Insane how you can't get in there unless you're a goody two shoes. I don't even have anything serious on my record. We'll see what the military say next week. Can't get I civilian jobs branching off from the military that aren't government related?? I don't think I plan to make a full career out of the military if I'm accepted.

The best bet for getting a non-government type job after you leave the Navy is to gain useful skills that can transfer over into civilian life: welding, electrical/mechanical knowledge, IT/computer skills, etc.
Also, you can use the GI Bill to pay for college/training after you leave, so there is always that if you need additional skills/certs/creds to build on what you leaned in the Navy.
I just left the Australian navy with an electronics trade and walked into a job paying AUD$250k-300k/year. For reference, I'm 23yo with only 6 years experience. A bit of it was luck, however my navy background and training was the main reason I was chosen
More details or gtfo

Aced all the practice ASVABs, so damn easy. I'd never join the military though, purely because I don't want to shave with a shitty razor.

Who's been in any branch of the military? What did you think of it? Sometimes I think I should of went right in after high school and at least did the 4 years. Ive always heard Air Force and Navy were the easiest. Do jobs even look at your military experience anymore with the way things are right now?
I plan to join the Army Reserve here in AUS:

I also want to do 12 months in the Italian Army, tipo ex-mandatory military service, " because i can" and want to stick it right up somebody [as u do]
NO interest to do either as a full time gig.
