Took my ASVAB in 9th grade. By 11th grade I was talking to all 5 branches, but the Army offered me the most options. With my GT score the intelligence types scooped me up with no ifs ands or buts. They literally only showed me intel MOS jobs. I laughed when they tried to make me a Russian diddly-bop.
I taught myself Cyrillic and some basic Russian back during the Cold War. It led to some amusing misunderstandings, I might be a little slow at shifting gears from one language to another. :-)
2DIV=Korea, right? ‘Buffalo Punch’? :-)
“I laughed when they tried to make me a Russian diddly-bop.”
Hey, I resemble that!
What do you mean by “Russian diddly-bop”??
I was Russian 96E7N back in the day (1984) and loved every moment of it.
And now I am using the training again, since Russia has come back. Shades of 1990’s diplomacy.
