    I suppose for some reason or another I haven't considered Army much. A lot of family and friends were army. Kinda wanted to branch out on my own. I hear you though. I also heard army EOD sucks. Navy is the way to go from what I hear in that community.

    Yeah I get what ya mean. The thing about the Army though is that there's so much to do, you can branch out and do something different within the Army itself. Go talk to a few different Navy recruiters about EOD and whatever else you're interested in, and then go talk to some Army recruiters (I can give you contact info for some pretty good ones that won't bullshit you) and see what you think. But yeah after doing the normal stuff you'd do to bump up to an E3 before you ship, with a college degree... I think the actual requirement is 30 credits completed... it automatically bumps you up one more to an E4, which as far as I know is the only way to ship as an E4. Doing that, you'd outrank almost every recruit in your class, if not all of them.
    Ok, I'm off to bed. Hope the rest of your shift goes uneventful (being bored is better than being on either end of an altercation with an asshat wannabe gangbanger).
    Later!

    Sure thing, I'll send em to ya first thing in the AM. Thursdays we all have to go to the station and do PT from 4-5, if you can make it there around then you should (give you an idea of how they work from watching us and also lets you talk to the other recruiters in a little more privacy).

    Just saw you're in Greeley... don't think you'll make it down to the station lol. I don't know anybody in Greeley but the hands down best recruiter I know is up in Boulder if that's a little more convenient for ya, he was my recruiter way back when and now he's a station commander at the Boulder station. I'll have to look around for his number though, been a little while since I talked to him.

    By station do you mean police or guard? Yeah I don't know about the quality of Greeley recruiters. It seems they don't really give a shit.
