At this point, I just want a damn job so I can actually get a computer that can run this game.

Speaking of jobs, I'll be heading down to the Army recruiters today. I'm aiming for any of these:

1- Artillery
2- Signal Corp
3- Army Space and Missile Defense Command
4- Military Intelligence-Satellite Imagery

I don't think the military take just anyone.

Try getting a job at McDonalds.

Sadly true, to think they used to not give a fuck during the Cold War and took almost anyone.

Well I got back from the recruiters earlier this afternoon and the Sgt. there told me my eyesight was fine for the jobs I've selected. So sometime next week I'll go down again with my school transcripts (I'm homeschooled) and my diploma so he can sign me up and send me down to LA for the MEPS and ASVAB.

I scored 74% on the practice on the recruiters give you. They said the average was much lower and that most people score higher on the real ASVAB.

Suck it burnzz

For all the wrong reasons surely.

Nah, I really like satellite imagery, that sounds really interesting. It's like a treasure hunt If you want to look at it that way (totally simplified, haha)

It's really cool how they used satellite imagery of Osama's compound while it was under construction to get the layout. That would have been awesome to have participated in.

Then it'd be easier for me to get in the army if that was the case.

They still test you based on intelligence though.

i remember the YOU session ADFA test... fucking adv algebra was not fun at all. theres no way you can finish all the questions in the allotted time.

The best tests were the flight crew tests, crazy coordination, memory and multitasking exercises. You probably didn't do those though?

As for the family thing, I'm not sure it helps. They certainly didn't mention any of my family members in the military (2 Cousins who are CMDRs,  grandfathers were a SQNLDR and LCDR) but that doesn't mean they didn't take it into account I guess. There are a large number of cadets at ADFA that are the sons/daughters of Colonels(e)/Generals(e)/Senators but of course they are the people more likely to be interested in becoming officers I guess.

I did some crazy coordination test on my YOU session... that shit was annoying and had some flight planning questions for some reason lol.

but yeah i got an assessment and OSB coming up. any protips on how the OSB goes? I know its different for each service but anything could help

I think they must have knife training in the army.

We're way off topic.

What does everybody think of the knifing? Looks like it can be countered.

Don't like it. Looks good for single player, but a bit intrusive for multi.
