Hello everyone im Angrynewb.

I started out playing warcraft 1 back in the mid 90s and started owning nubs in Duke Nukem around 98 or so while in the Marine Corps and played a little Asherons Call Darktide server 99+. I remember playing DOD, CS, and TF1 back in the day and just recently started playing TF2. Obviously in my order age i play less and less as my life as progressed into Husband/Father roles but i still enjoy a nice FPS session from time to time to make sure that our younger generation understands that while they carry the torch it was us Generation Xers who handed it to them.

I would never enlist, but I think a combat engineer would be a good position that is unless you like taking pictures.

Couple of things to keep in mind when selecting a MOS is how relevant is that job in the civilian job market, and how much time will i actually spend doing the parts of the MOS that feel i will enjoy.

Combat Photography is another term for rifleman with a camera, you will basically work side by side with the grunts doing the same things they do. Your photography time will be limited to your free time outside of faps and other duty assignments. "filling sand bags, standing fire watch, cleaning gear etc" Once you hit E-4 to E-5 is when you will have the power to actually spend some time doing your job. Remember it can take sometimes 3 to 4 years to make E-4.  outside of the service you can look to set up a wedding photography shop and hope to make a living snapping brides and grooms give there I Do's. Combat correspondence for news outlets would be the best possible case scenario for a civilian job in a related field.

Combat Engineer these are the guys that build bridges and blow shit up. in reality you will spend much more time in standard rifle combat then blowing anything up. Combat Engineering will be come your 2nd MOS behind 0311 "rifleman" so not only will you perform all the task as a standard infantryman but you will also have to occasionally build some shit houses, dig fox holes and maybe blow up some confiscated ordinance.

I have no doubt that both of these jobs can be very rewarding but at 15 years old you have a few years to really decide what it is you want to do and trust me don't let some recruiter talk you into a MOS because of some enlistment quota. Research each option carefully and don't hesitate to ask me any questions you may have.

I say this to anyone who is thinking of doing this and like he said don't let them just drag you in.

DragonMasterNYC

--- Update ---

is there a reason why im muted now in the game? ever since i put the UA tag on i cant chat in game.

Bighead2496

idk i thik it was the raging squeaker cause we muted him so when we did that he tried vote muting people and then some people saw the vote mute ad thought it was some other person.

DragonMasterNYC

If this hasn't be resolved before I get in Ventrilo tonight I'll tell Ninny or Static to remove it.

There\'s a fine line between not listening and not caring. I like to think that I walk that line every day of my life.
