First of all, I meant join the DEP as in do that rather than wait till I graduate to join one of the services, just to clarify that.
And Second, I have always wanted to be in the Infantry, I don't know why, that is just what I have always wanted to do, perhaps it has something to do with listening to my grandpa's stories about Korea, maybe I just want to join the Military and be in a position where I don't have to make the decisions, decision making has never been a strong point for me, perhaps I am hoping way deep down inside that I can just stay at a low rank and just do as I am told, or something like that, I don't know why, I honestly don't, the recruiters always ask why I want to join the Infantry and I just sit there stammering trying to find the reason somewhere, but I can't.
Third and final, I took the ASVAB today, scored a 95. Basivally I am qualified for anything in the Army, they have line scores, as I am sure most people in here know about, those are for more specifif parts of the Army I guess, anyways, I scored within 7 points of each other on all 12 Army categories, 124 being the lowest with 131 being the highest. That test seemed really strange for me, I thought it would be about history and stuff, I was dead wrong, their was a lot of stuff I didn't know, so the first thing I did when the recruiter asked how I thought I did I said "Their is no way in hell I got an 88 like the Prediction test said I would." I truly didn't think I would do that well, I am Car dumb so I thought that the AutoMechanical section whatever it was called would doom me, guess I know a little more than I thought in that area. And I have always struggled with English classes, that still didn't stop me. I plan on retaking the test, try to improve my score, get that ever so elusive 99, oh, and I must also ignore my friend who says he is being exactly that, a friend, when he tells me not to join the military because I will die, I just tell him "we are all gonna die, might as well die honorably."
