The OP needs a crotch punch.

Wouldn't do anything to this DUmmy because he has nothing there.

DUmmies in general seem to hate the military and police.  What do those two things have in common?  A willingness and a belief in putting your life on the line for the welfare of others?  DUmmies talk a good game of helping others, but when it comes to any personal sacrifice, forget it.

There's one more similarity--the DUmb****s want to be able to control the military and police.

Problem is, Thor, that most of the services won't do ASVAB/med and then DEP in at a later date.  It's all one big ball.  Are you saying they won't DEP in 11S for Air Force, only 12L (workforce)?

But you are correct--what's available is better in the winter months--SOMETIMES, based on ship date.  Hate to tell you, but if he's going into a small field, you may not get him to ship right after graduation.


Navy and Marines are still doing DEP.

My son was in DEP for 8 months waiting for an opening for what he wanted to do.

My young friend has been in DEP for Marines since early last spring to ship Jan 4.

Unfortunately, she is no longer going through with it......she was "ruffied" the night of the Marine Ball at a bar afterwards and later arrested. Until that is resolved...she's SOL. :(

I'm living proof that the quoted text is a bald face lie.

You and me both.

I was in for 23 years and in that time there was the Russian Invasion of Afghanistan, The Invasion of Grenada,The invasion of Panama and Desert Shield and Desert Storm. OIF and Afghanistan again. Tell me which one I was supposed to have died in Douchebaggers  because you don't get alot of life expectancy as an Infantryman.
