2nd time around

[Jeremiah767]

https://forum.freeadvice.com/showthread.php?t=375923&page=5Ok so this is what happened the first time I came to this site, you all laughed at me and thought I was an idiot because I am just a stupid 17 year old. Well I am now a graduate of not just Basic training, but Infantry OSUT, which is 14 weeks long. I will be reporting to my duty station June 10th which is Fort Lewis, Washington. BTW, I ended up moving in up with my dad in Farifax VA to get my GED. I enrolled in Robinson Secondary School for one day, before transferring to their GED program which I was able to complete literrally in record time. Though you guys try to make me out to be an idiot, I am actually apparently not. I then immediately went to Meps and signed a contract with the army for 4 years as an 11 B(infantry) which is exactly what I wanted to do.

You said you were going to be in the army by the end of last year.

Congratulations on getting your GED, Jeremiah!

It sounds like you are doing everything right.

Be safe.

I don't know what you think you're crowing about, but the thread you reference was your attempt to find out how you could get expelled so that you could get your GED and join the Army. You were told that was an idiotic idea, because it was an idiotic idea.

The rest of the thread was an attempt to persuade you that you would have a much more successful Army career if you received a proper education first. Come back and let us know how you're doing in four years.

I hope the training you've just been through knocked some of that arrogant immaturity you previously displayed out of you, but since you've come back to post, essentially, "nyah, nyah, nyah, told you so!!" apparently it did not.

Thank you, though, for coming back to let us know we were right. Congratulations on your new career in the Army, and good luck!

Damn, you got me there, because of the fact that I had to go "through the system" to get my GED, it took a little bit longer.

Congratulations on getting your GED, Jeremiah!

Thank you

Be safe.

I'll try, its hard when you're an 11B

No, it wasn't, it was a last resort, and the only alternative you morons could provide was "stay in school, kid!"

I will come back and let you know when I have my online degree from Liberty University in Lynchburg VA.

excuse me for being proud of myself.....

you weren't right, but thank you, 26 years later that'll be Command Seargent Major Catronblack

That's not being proud of yourself, that's being a child.

that'll be Command Seargent Major Catronblack

Believe it or not, I hope so. But that won't happen unless you make some serious changes between now and then.

And (just because you're going to need to know this) it's s-e-r-g-e-a-n-t.

Perhaps in time you will learn that when you have overcome people's reasonable doubts about your plans, you don't have a need to call them morons when you are describing your success.

It sounds like you are on the right track. Good luck and best wishes.

Jeremiah,

I am not sure why, but there are a lot of people on here who like to be negative. It’s as if they get joy out of reading about peoples’ problems and instead of being helpful they would rather point out the obvious and be critical. It’s really sad, people come here with real problems and instead of suggestions they are judged. Congratulations on your accomplishments. Stick with it, retire young and with health insurance!
