Date: May 21st, 2015 8:34 AM Author: Jade fortuitous meteor Created this thread b/c the NYC Fleet Week + all the recent lib talk @ college campuses. I knew some bros who did prestigious UG --> mil service DESPITE having options like banking/consulting/law school/etc. on the table.
Nothing but respect for those bros. |

you almost always get a bump relative to your IQ
the interests you're advancing doing it, aren't worth risking your life over, or even spending 4 years of your life advancing

Date: May 23rd, 2015 12:53 AM Author: Bipolar exhilarant field skinny woman Everythig about this is wrong. If you have t20 UG you're taking a big prestige hit relative to IQ to join military- officer or enlisted.
And the interests of national security, american influence, secure economic interests, are worth your life and thousands more |

That said, after spending 4 years in, it becomes a time sink.
I think the military should offer a 1 year service option with a guaranteed job so more people will serve and then people would be less willing to let the government be the world's police knowing how that gets people needlessly maimed/killed. |

Date: May 21st, 2015 6:59 PM Author: Talented wagecucks pisswyrm There's a program that's basically this. Or was. "National Call to Service" enlistees spent about a year on active duty following training (which generally made for about a year and a half to two years of full-time service, total), with a follow-on period in the reserve. I'm not sure whether they still do it, but it was a good idea --- NCS enlistees seemed to be pretty high-quality. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2885646&forum_id=2#27938623) |

Date: May 21st, 2015 8:20 PM Author: sick cordovan parlor What is both credited and prestigious is not having to depend on someone else to provide you a living. Military service is a fine resume line, but it doesn't necessarily bring you any closer to having real independence. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2885646&forum_id=2#27939174) |

Date: May 21st, 2015 9:40 PM Author: Bipolar exhilarant field skinny woman Credited not really prestigious in the sense of being very competitive/lucrative but in an aristocratic sense of noblesse oblige it is. Kind of like serving in local elected office. Usually filled w TTT's but paired w right background good accent to a resume. ROTC programs at elite colleges are soooo CR and should be pushed even harder by every branch. Anyone interested in this should read Leonard woods speeches. Also it's extremely CR that bschools and lawschools love admitting vets. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2885646&forum_id=2#27939896) |

Never specifically asked if he killed anyone, but he has all these cool photos of him in badass spec ops gear on Helicopters at nighttime. I'm guessing they were raiding Taliban and shit and doing snatch and grabs.
That is credited and prestigious as fuck. |
