So yeah, I went and talked to a Navy recruiter again, and much to my suprise active military service is becoming a terrifyingly viable option. I get to ride around on boats, and learn to tapdance and wear a funny hat and karate chop terrorists, probably. What I wanna do is become a Navy linguist, which could entail being a translator, which sounds pretty cool. Like, I could wear a black suit and tie and keep my gaze cast downward and dutifully translate the ramblings of wildeyed despots. And then I would overhear plans of an assasination attempt and Sean Penn would be assigned to protect me, and OH the sexual tension would be absolutly DELECTABLE.
I also took a test that sort of guages how i'd take some other test to get into The Navy, and in order to pass, you need like 38, the national average is like 45 something, if you get above 60 you're pretty much set to get any job you want, and you need something like an 85 to qualify to be a fucking nuclear engineer. I scored 93. I want to believe that makes me incredible, but I have the feeling it speaks more toward the calibur of badass that try out for military service. The recruiter guy seemed pretty impressed so I can at least take solice that ive pleased him, which is all I really cared about in the first place
