Introduction
Hello All,
I just turned 29 and am a foreign-born naturalized citizen. I am currently working in a city government position in Monterey County, after getting an English degree, as well as two law degrees (JD and LLM). I have been wanting to join the Army (specifically SF) for almost my entire adult life, but my son was born during my final year in college. At the time, I was informed that the Army did not offer single parents FCP's (family care plan), and that reserves or guard was the only option. They also kept pushing me to try JAG since I had been accepted to law school. I opted instead to go to law school, but ultimately knew it would not make me happy. I ended up playing college tennis in the states, and then played college basketball during my LLM in Scotland, so it wasn't a total loss. The money I make now is great, but I do not feel fulfilled by the work, and I hate the sedentary nature of the work involved. I went down to the recruiter earlier this year and he informed me that the Army was offering FCP's and I took the ASVAB just last week. I scored in the 99th percentile with a GT score of 136 or 138 (there were a bunch of numbers that came up and these were two of them that had G and T, sorry for not being specific). I was offered the 18x and will be accepting soon, I just don't like the July ship date due to a wedding I must attend in August and my son's birthday early September, so I will be waiting for the next ship date. Reading all of these posts has been very helpful in crafting a running program, and I love reading the success stories as well. I am hoping to make it through and be a part of this remarkable brotherhood.
Thank you,
Not Interested in JAG
