I think a satcom operator would be a good position for you. I wish you loads of luck, and applaud you for sticking to your guns (ooh, bad army joke) about enlisting. As for the smoothie idea, here's one of my favorite recipes:
Blend 1 tablespoon spirulina in 2 cups of tropical blend juice (or orange, apple or pineapple juice). Add a fresh fruit (banana, orange, peach, pear, apple, pineapple) or berries. Options: almonds or sunflower seeds or flavors such as vanilla or lime to suit your taste. For a thicker smoothie, use more fresh fruit, less juice. (Mix well in a blender. Makes 2 servings)

I get the feeling I'm going to be getting a lot of army jokes if this works out. :)

I'll try that recipe, it sounds good. I stuck to ice cream and bananas for the first try. Seemed to work out pretty well.

Fort Sill

damian,

I just retired from the Army after 25 years, over half of which was spent at Sill. They have their own Facebook page http://www.facebook.com/FiresCenterofExcellence

Good luck in your venture, and believe me, with those ASVAB line scores, they'll find you what you want. (I was a recruiter for a time also)

Nice. Thank you. :)

Ha! I can imagine when you walked into his office he was assuming you'd *want* to shoot at people. You don't look like clerical, dear ;-) You even have the haircut already.

Seriously though, I think if you get a position you like you'd be great at this. The Army is a good career in itself, but can lead to impressive jobs elsewhere if you use it properly. Btw, I'd seriously consider getting lasik done if you do this. It's cheap and heals in *hours*. It's the best money I've ever spent.

Also, if you still need my addy I can email to you. Your email the same?

Yeah, it was kinda flattering. :) They asked if I'd done construction and, later, sports. Maybe they were just doing the salesmen thing, though.

I am kinda into this whole thing, when I'm not also going "Oh, crap, what am I about to do?" I'm at least curious to see what I'm going to look like after 9 weeks of boot camp. At least I know my hair'll be the same.

The lasik was definitely on my list, it's just a money issue at the moment. Hopefully the army will be the solution to that problem, too. But it looks like contacts aren't allowed, so I'm going to spend the entire time wearing the army-issue BCGs (Birth Control Glasses.) Spiffy.

My email's the same, yep. Thanks. I'll say nice things about you if the CIA ever asks. :)

Blender: Yay! Chewing is for losers!
LASIK: I second this. Seriously, you dont even know how bad contacts/glasses suck until you suddenly don't need them anymore.
