RE: The ASVAB & Me: A Kid Story

in #story8 years ago

heh...I aced that test.
the guy said
"with these test results you can BE what you want to be"
After basic training was over I was assigned the job of Truck Driver.
the moral is
I CAN be what I want to be.
but
I WILL be what they tell me to be.

Sort:  

I aced it too. I was luckier, I got it in writing- any Class A school I wanted. I wanted to be a frogman and they said: We have just the thing for you- Coronado Island. What a fucking mistake that turned out to be!!! I wound up as a GM 2 on a PBR!

I drove a truck hauling bombs for a year.
then when my tour was over I cross trained ASAP.
into..
Crypto.

Funny you should mention that my friend... I was just about to write a post about that very subject!

go for it.
to be clear...I was crypto MAINT.
I worked on the hardware..the electronics and stuff.

stone age stuff by comparison with today.
I remember when a 2400 baud modem was considered to be BLAZING fast..cost thousands of dollars and was seeeeecret.

I get it DUH!!! Hey, I bought a 2400 bps modem when I was in college (for my Hyundai 286)... Talk about blazing speed, you could watch paint dry while waiting for a connection. When we tried it out, somehow my computer savvy buddy and I wound up in the Supreme Court's database... we were shitting!

My big crypto prediction post is done! Probably look like an idiot- my background is econ. not crypto!

My back ground is heavy haul truckin and drinkin beer.
GO for it.!
