I might enlist but who knows. I've got loads of friends in the military, it's really not that bad is what everyone says. You'll get your freedom back after basic but good luck!
Good luck man.
May the Emperor watch over you.
[QUOTE=Goofa;32719941]it isn't as bad as you seem to think
unless exercise horrifies you[/QUOTE]
I've been through Boot Camp already thank you very much. What I was saying was it isn't that bad, just shitty the first few weeks.
I mean unless you've been to Boot Camp by all means but if you're trying to tell me they don't beat you in Boot Camp then you have a pretty serious lack of understanding of the matter.
@MedicManv500
Sorry, I don't know all of the respective services names for their instructors. Mine were RDC's haha.
Have fun at Relaxin' Jackson :)
Basic training isn't that hard, just remember that thousands of people before you made it, and you're going to one of the better sites for BCT and your AIT. Plus, if you can go to WOFT and actually get some flying in it'll all be worthwhile. Good luck!
Posting this from the hotel they put us up in before we go to the MEPS the next day. I have to say that the Army does not really spare an expense for their future soldiers. There are a lot of neat people here. I think I will fit in just fine. Oh, and thank you all for the good wishes. Also, I don't really need to fix up and look sharp where I am going, they are going to issue me a baggy uniform, I am just wearing that jacket because it was raining really bad outside.
Good luck man, I'll be following right along come January. Hope you enjoy working on helicopters. Are you going to eventually try to get into OCS and fly one?
All I have to say is the Army does thier boot camp different these days. Corps has stayed relatively the same

Lost it at 2:00 when that DI grabs that recuits shit and throws it on the table* thing, whatever they're called.
Make your religion pastafarian and be a pots and pans robot if you get deployed.
No one would fuck with a pots and pans robot.
Death is not funny, especially to a person who has just experienced it.

It's obvious they cherry-picked some of the scenes, but the Army still has it easier.

They should have shown the bootcamp from any Army combat arms perspective, not some stupid ass pog shit "bootcamp"

Why does one of the DIs look like he is giving the documents CPR
[QUOTE=SKEEA;32716311]Well Facepunch, it has been great being here for five years. Over such time this forum has changed and grown by leaps and bounds. Sure, there are bad posters sometimes, but Facepunch has remained pretty consistent. I will not be able to post here in quite some time though, as I enlisted in the U.S. Army in April. My ship date is tomorrow, 10/11/2011. I get 2 weeks Christmas Exodus so I will post then. I know I may not have been the most active member, as reflected by my postcount, or make quality posts 100% of the time (as I have said some dumb things in the past), but I still love Facepunch. I will see you in about three months Facepunch. Oh, and to all of the people in the Warhammer 40k thread, praise the Omnissiah and God-Emperor![/QUOTE]
Good luck on your future battles, battle brother.
I seriously respect people like you.
Be careful you don't trip over a discarded acronym. Military types just drop them everywhere without any consideration for the people around them.
They should've waited a day for 11/11/2011
[QUOTE=sami-elite;32727557]They should've waited a day for 11/11/2011[/QUOTE]
I think you mean a month.
You have to remember that Americans write dates strangely. October is the 10th month.
thanks
Good luck out there, SKEEA, praise the emprah and all that.
Though, will you be able to check on facepunch while out there in your free time or something?
Ok Facepunch, this is it. Tomorrow I wake up at three in the morning to get to the airport to catch the plane to get to Fort Jackson. Time to make everyone proud.

Because your a real hardass of the internet.

The fact that the army has a pog ass bootcamp rather than send everyone to the same style makes sense yet is quite stupid at the same time. Marines all go to the same boot, all go to infantry training, and all continue their infantry training no matter the POG mos.

Really?
Oh look someone who took an oath of fealty to Big Government and now we're supposed to worship the ground he walks on.
