Well done. Good luck to you bud.

Short name - Signal Corp.
Used to use pigeons in the first and second world wars.
Still have a few of the pigeon training books from back then. :cool:
I'm pretty sure its the Military Intelligence branch, I'll be the guy decrypting enemy transmissions, and stuff like that. I'm going to the Defense Language Institute, to learn a new language. I dont think they will have me catching enemy pigeons:D, not 100% sure though.
First test for you.

Close Was using 264bit encryption software with a random generator that hides 6 out 7 letters, then scrambles into random patterns before showing them on a screen.
It said, "Have Fun"

Re: I am attempting to join the ARMY.
Wow, that was an interesting read for 10 pages!!
Some shocks galore there, specifically Lyle not showing up on the thread & Miles being very reasonable when discussing the US military and foreign policy.
I considered joining myself when I was really struggling to find work before deciding that actually that being blown up by a landmine in Basra is just below falling under a train in ways I don't want to die. So now to just keep away from the platform edge ;D
Also I had too many misgivings about my country's foreign policy to actually commit to it.
NC, I'd say that the best post of the thread has to be VD's. Weigh up the fact that you are risking your life with what you want do & as it seems you have enjoy your new career and good luck :)
Anyone willing to put themselves on their line for what they believe in has my respect.
Van Childs (or whatever you're calling yourself these days), I know you had a thread about this ages ago, but I can't be bothered to search for it, so I'll just say that this is exactly what I imagine you're like ;)

Damn Jazz, not an officer...I'm sure you can find an over gung-ho NCO to represent me.
Cheers though I got a laugh out of it
Re: I am attempting to join the ARMY.
Just when you thought this thread was dead, no I bring it back to life.:) I had to renegotiate my MOS because I failed the DLAB(I'm not as smart as I thought I was). I think I actually lucked into a better job though. I am now a 25S which is a Satellite Communications Systems Operator / Maintainer. The bonus is better as well ;D. Also I don't have to take any special test , just pass BCT and do well in AIT. I grabbed this because I figure there are good opportunities for employment once I leave the Army.

I told you the DLAB was a crazy test. Do they still have the weird symbol part?

Yes, I got an 88 which about 7 points short of what was required. You referring to the pictures with a made up language that you have to find patterns out of...yeah that was rough. My main problem was listening to the sentences and applying the grammar rules, and only getting one listen for each option. I actually didnt finish two questions on that part. :p
