Lol, what a crybaby. Bro, you can spend your entire military career complaining and being negative, OR you can keep your personal perspective to yourself as your perspective will NOT be true for everyone. Do you realize this is basic training? It is not the rest of your enlistment. Find some positives, bro. Find some greater meaning and purpose in regards to basic training. You will not make a great 42A if you continue to be so negative. FYI, you did not smile, laugh, or joke one time in this video. You gotta find some humor, man, if you want to make it in this great army!

I scored a 29 on my ASVAB Friday and got qualified for the 09 Mike Program. But I need a waiver so today I’m showing my recruiter documentation of my expundged/dismissed charge. It was a 3rd degree felony human smuggling, but there was no guns drugs or violence invloved. It was and is my first charge ever, what are the chances of it being approved??? My age is 29 and this happened when I was 26.
