Sounds like another douchbag who doesn't know what he's talking about. I sure wouldn't want him in special forces.
Oh, and I lol'd. "yeah, I took a test that normally takes 30 minutes. Finished it in 17."

Yeah, the recruiters lie through their teeth, they don't get paid unless you sign. I had a buddy who was told(roughly 1.5years ago) he would never be shipped to Iraq/Afghanistan, but he is there as a type this. He was also told that their was an Xbox in every barracks. I told him before he signed that it was all a load of ****. He proceeded to tell me their was no reason for the recruiter to lie to him and signed the papers.

LOL....
I scored a 97 on my test and was bombarded with phone calls from recruiters afterwards. That test doesn't mean ****. A freaking 8th grader could pass it.
I love the military guys and they have absolute respect from me. They sacrifice a lot for this country.
Problem is that recruiters deal with 17 and 18 year olds that don't know dick about life. Like said before, they make their money by getting people to sign up. They're just like car salesman. You push for the sale even if it means bending the truth and lying.
Said I wanted to be a pilot and they promised I'd be put into ROTC right after I got done with basic. Didn't want to waste my time with their talk. Now I'm a pilot and did it privately. Most guys that fly didn't even go through ROTC untill after they graduated college with a degree. A little thing they leave out is that you have to be hand picked out of the ROTC to attend flight training and then pass the test to even see the inside of an airplane. Typically, only 15% are asked to attend flight training and less than 7% actually become pilots. They just don't throw anyone in as a pilot who wants to be one. It''s a lot of work. Special forces are the same way. You have to prove yourself before you get reccomended to test for it. If you want to fly, go to college. Get your degree, then join the ROTC. Much more sensible and guaranteed way so you don't get shoved in a desk or thrown on the ground in the front line.

This guys sounds like an idiot.
Why doesnt he just go straight for general, or joint chiefs? Sounds like he's qualified to do anything he wants at the rifled age of 17.
Oh i hope he does'nt see me type this, maybe he'll drive to Detroit and "**** my world up"

As for the Army and Air Force, you can go directly into the Special Forces community after basic training....providing you pass the technical schools to get there. With that, that is not easy and can be up to 3 years of training in some cases.
You do not attend college, get a degree and then join ROTC. In fact, you attend college, join ROTC(while in college) and then graduate and get a degree with the hopes of being a pilot. If you want to have a better shot, attend USAF Academy in Colorado Springs and graduate at the top of your class. If you are in a typical university and in ROTC, you better be in the top of your class and in the top percentage of ROTC to have a real chance at a pilot slot.
Hope this clears some confusion....
