GerryC Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 I'll have my BS in Computer Science at the end of this May. I also have my CCNA and A+ certifications, hopefully will be working for Pitney Bowes or Hewlett Packard by the end of the year, they both have locations in Stamford CT which is about 45 minutes away.

NightMare Silverado Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 I'm really smart and average in the top 10% of testing but I'm also really lazy and never did my homework ect and picked fights with teachers so I dropped out and graduated continuation school with top of my class in world civ and had honors in history/English. Then I got my GF(now ex fiancé) pregnant and got a job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pitpens Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 The poll does say highest level of education completed. The you can explain your choice in the comment box. Military is not an education level... Plus, you must have at least a High School Diploma to get in the Military. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill-V8V Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 I just barely made it out of High school, I think they just wanted to get rid of me so they gave me a diploma :lol: 16 years later I went to Bay State School of Appliances and took a computer course. That got my foot in the door, from there I worked my arse off and the rest is history !!!! I think things turned out ok for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill-V8V Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Military is not an education level...Plus, you must have at least a High School Diploma to get in the Military. I think you may be taking this in a different way than it is intended. Many people use the Military as a way to get a good education. I think it is meant as a compliment to everyone who serves in the armed forces and uses it as a means to get that education they they might not have been able to get another way ???? And we all know the military is a hell of a lot harder than just going to school, not that school is easy. That is a **** hard job AND school all in one. And thank you for your service :patriot::patriot: But this is all just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NightMare Silverado Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Although I'm not in the military I respectfully disagree. My brother had to go to school for 2 years for his job in the marines. So I'd count that as education. My brother is an avation tech and iirc he spent the last 2 1/2 years in japan reparing the radar systems for harriers. Now he is training to work on the new'ish helecopter/plain hybrid thing (I don't remember the name) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DieselDude Posted February 25, 2010 Author Share Posted February 25, 2010 I think you may be taking this in a different way than it is intended. Many people use the Military as a way to get a good education. I know several guys that have learned a trade while in the military but they do not have a degree. I think it is meant as a compliment to everyone who serves in the armed forces and uses it as a means to get that education they they might not have been able to get another way ???? I thought it would be a way to recognize (you could also say complement) those that have been in the military. They (military) work hard and put their lives on the line.

OIF Vet Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Military is not an education level...Plus, you must have at least a High School Diploma to get in the Military. Not anymore. Some branches lowered the requirements. Some are taking non high school grads and others are taking people with a GED. I had a handful of those soldiers in my last unit and I'll tell you what. They performed great in combat. When bullets are coming at you, it doesn't matter what your grades were like in college or how many degrees you have. It's all about survival.

Rob Some folks can have a GED, but they must have at least 15 college credits on top of that. The rules have changed, it's not easy to get in anymore...
