I currently work as a PC repair technician and I don't like the way things are going with my job. I want to do better things with technology but my lack of funds has prevented me from going to college or university. I thought why not check out the army, because I want to do something different. I'm tired of working at PC repair/retail sales shops. (I don't think i single one of them have ever heard of the ESA of 2000).
The ATIS Technician trade is very interesting to me and it has a lot of the different skills that I was hoping to learn. I want to join up ASAP, however theres the issue of my previous pot use. I hear they want you clean for six months, and don't ever lie about anything. Keeping that in mind I also hear it sometimes takes 1-2 years to even get in under normal circumstances. Should I apply anyways and just see what they want me to do?
Another question is what kind of social life will I have doing such a trade? Do i still get the freedom of leisure after working hours (such as internet/email/chat or videogames) ?
