So after spending the last four hours reading through (and following up on, when reasonable) all the new job listings for this week, I’m thinking my best bet would be to join the Navy. That would get me out of my lease (really, any military transfer would), it would teach me a new skillset, and theoretically I would be earning money, too. The Navy seems to be the only organisation posting dozens of jobs that I qualify for that each would address my current cost-of-living difficulties. Most of the listings I see that are for jobs I know I could do have included in their minimum requirements “BA or BS or 5+ years industry experience” none of which I have in really any industry. The navy has some positions that they’d like candidates with degrees in hand for, but those are the ones they give big signing bonuses to. I don’t need a big signing bonus, I just need a job.
I don’t particularly want to join the military, though. I like it here. Oh yeah, and I’m predicting a war within the next few years. I don’t know how I feel about getting involved in a war. How do you feel about me being trained to use a variety of weapons and to kill people? I bet I could even sign up to learn to be a nuclear technician, and then I might get to work with nuclear materials. How does that make you feel? Me, getting my hands on fissionable materials, and being trained on how to use them. (insert evil cackle here)
How long are military contracts for? I was going to have to work that long to get out of my debt and leave the country anyway. I suppose I should go shop around the different branches though, and see who is offering the sweetest honey pot. Bonuses would be learning skills I want to have, earning plenty of money, and/or getting out of the military the fastest, I think. What do you think?
Except that I just made a new friend and it would be a shame to all of a sudden disappear into the military, I can’t think of why not anymore. Something about the desperation of unemployment finally eating away at my soul. Or is that just mildew?
AAAAAAAAAAAHHH! For the love of God, do not join the Navy. I had a boyfriend that joined and was with him for a year and a half while he was in, so I know. Don’t do it.

See, but you have to say what it is you know. What is driving you to scream in horror, but wasn’t enough to end your relationship within a year of him shipping out. I have trouble taking advice without explanation.

They would train you in some kind of skill that would enable (and possibly require) you to kill people. I’m fairly certain that if you’re in the proper mood when you take the personality assesments you will fit the proper profile for a trained killer:)

I was with Donna at the time. I know, too. Just trust her. It, like, causes large green boils to erupt on the faces of all involved.
HELLLLOOO. GET A JOB THAT DOES NOT INVOLVE BOOT CAMP.

Job schmob. Too bad you can’t do like that wacky guy on tv and get the government to give you money by writing them letters. Actually, you probably could. I’ll even make a pretty letterhead for you to get you started.

This sounds like a good idea to me. Many things to learn in the service and benefits. I would think the Air Force would be better. You allready have the hair style they like ;). They have nukes too. Maybe you could learn to build cruise misseles. Better yet learn to fly helocopers and then you can get a job flying in any part of the world you go to. Earn big bucks when you need some and get a great view of the country.

Actually, I’m looking mostly at Cryptology, Intelligence, and Languages programs. The Navy seems to have the best programs for Cryptology and Languages, and I can only get into good Intelligence programs if I finish a degree first and join as an officer, regardless of branch.
I’m too tall to fly planes for the airforce, though I don’t know about helicopters. Theoretically a Navy rep will be contacting me this week with some information I emailed about, and will be able to answer questions about height for their programs. The air force also has the least compelling website betwen army, navy, and air force. Maybe I can offer to re-create their website for big money. I’d only consider Marines last, I think, and have not looked at their site yet.
Ooh, I forgot I’m not allowed to agree with anything my father says. So if he’s recommending service, I’m supposed to … become a Hippie! Yeah! I’ll grow my bald head out and … protest … something … for a living?
Nah.
