Re: Anyone joining the reserves/army?

I went in for Avionics, which is pretty broad. I ended up being a 5953 Air Traffic Control Radar Technician. So I was the tech who fixed, maintained, setup the Radars at the Airports. I was in Pensacola, FL for 1 1/2 years gonig through the schooling. I have what they call "military equivalent of an associates" in electronics. All free, plus getting paid. So unlike college where you pay to go, and have to have a 2nd job to pay for shit. I went to school free, and that was my job was to go to school, so I got paid. My regular 8hr day at school was my 8hr work day, so i got paid as such!

3 1/2 years experience after I got out of school. So I got out 23years old, associates degree with experience as well, plus employeers LOVE former military for the most part. Got a great job now!
