[QUOTE="Pokinfun, post: 2139975, member: 28113"] I spent 2 years in the Army Reserves and 20 in the regular Army. In the Reserves I was in the Infinity and on active duty I was in the Artillery. My asvab score was a 124. All I wanted to do when I joined was be a soldier. I did not want to fix stuff or push paper. I qualified for a lot of different jobs, but I truly wanted to blow stuff up. I knew I was never going to get a great job on the outside, with my military experience. Therefore, I completed my educational goals. I am now an old fat, History/Geography teacher. I have lots of pictures and stories to talk to the kids about. They see a picture of me when I was 35 and always ask "what happened." Just tell your kid you are proud of him, and call if he ever needs to rant about something. Do everything you can do to make it to his graduation, it will mean more to him than anything you have ever done for him in his life. Tell him to have a plan, for what he is going to do when he gets out. One last thing, tell him strippers are fun, but don't marry one. Lots of girls around military installations, who are just looking to get married, it never works out. [/QUOTE]
