I'm excited to announce that thejdm is now updated to the latest phpbb 3.2 software. You may notice the site is now mobile friendly but with the upgrade comes some hiccups. theGarage, theGallery, theArcade are no longer supported. In due time the developers should be working to release the modifications to work on the new software. #LetsMakeForumsGreatAgain

Cool, so I'll get E-3 from day 1, just gotta amend the contract. What's this about no pay until stationed though?

It's hard to remember that far back........but their is some shit about paying into the GI BILL to get it started.

It would be best to ask the recruiter that one, I'm really not sure :?

I forget, it's possible my recruiter and I were discussing my possible future move to linguist so that is probably where I remember it from. I got a 91.

not bad, why the fuck did you chose the army then? oh wait, i think the scores are different for each service, but a 91 on the army scale is still high, again WHY oh WHY did you chose the army? why not the air force?

I wasn't sure about how the score differed from branch to branch, but the AFQT % seems to be not based on branch. My Air Force specific scores were M-99 A-90 G-92 E-94
