Thinking of Joining the Military? V2 - General

[QUOTE=Zerokateo;37743296]I know full metal jacket isn't exactly most accurate movie about boot camp but ho physical are the DI's really allowed to get with you? Can you get slapped for not believing in the Virgin Mary? I know I probably ask the dumbest questions but I'm trying to get ready so I make too many mistakes in basic. I mean I know I'm going to fuck up somehow but it can't hurt to try to be ready.[/QUOTE] Just don't be Pvt. Joker in that movie and whisper something, and the DIs hear. You will be in a world of hurt. But yeah, Like UncleJimmema said, it's rare. Only the 1 King shit bag of shitbags got taken into the janitor closet after lights out. The DIs made the firewatch keep alook out for any higher ups and the DIs commenced to beat the shit out of him. Could hear him getting slammed against the lockers. Next day he had multiple bruises and scrapes. When asked about it, he just muttered he tripped. Bottom line, just don't be the shittiest recruit there and you won't have to worry.

Quick question - the National Guard is becoming a major consideration for me. I'm even thinking about ROTC and entering as an officer, but really it all just depends. Anyways, one thing that really interested me was the work they do during natural disasters and stuff like that. But the thing is I'm in Ohio. So hypothetically speaking, let's say there was unfortunately a hurricane in Florida or South Carolina or something like that. Would I be able to volunteer to go down there and help even though I'm in Ohio? Or does the governor have to lend guardsmen himself to another state in emergency? I can't seem to find the answer. Thanks

If you lose a testical in a circular saw accident can you still join the Army? Don't ask. PLEASE.

[QUOTE=Tital;37769074]If you lose a testical in a circular saw accident can you still join the Army? Don't ask. PLEASE.[/QUOTE] I was born with testicular torsion. I lost one of my testicles hours after birth. I am in the US Army. [editline]23rd September 2012[/editline] You just need the papers to prove it. [editline]23rd September 2012[/editline] Thanks, Cheshire_cat

army only accepts both even and odd testicled gentlemen

Contrary to popular belief, your ability and well being in the army has nothing to do with the mass of your testicle(s).

[QUOTE=Killerjc;37769170]army only accepts both even and odd testicled gentlemen[/QUOTE] So no even/odd testicled women?

I have never heard of NG going to other states, though I have not been in the Army long.

[QUOTE=Tital;37769074]If you lose a testical in a circular saw accident can you still join the Army? Don't ask. PLEASE.[/QUOTE] Since I'm curious as to what happened but I don't want to ask. I will conclude my own theory. You we're standing in front of a guy cutting a piece of wood, neither of you were paying attention, saw slipped and nipped off one of your nuts. OOOOOOOOR You we're running around naked in a field of dandelions trying to create a scene when some guy grabbed a circular saw, threw it at you and it hit your nuts.

So at chow, my troop mates decided to challenge me to speak like Gollum for three days. This is bad because I have an eerily good impression of him. I wonder if any maintenance is going to get done, as my troop will be laughing too hard to do anything.

I was just wondering, not much really happens in Ohio and I'd really love to volunteer to go help out at places if anything did happen. There's other ways to get the chance to do that kind of stuff, though. Thanks again.

I just got out of the Army. I was an Infantryman with 1st Bct, 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) at Fort Campbell, Ky. Any questions about Army Infantry life or the 101st, I'd probably be the guy to go to since the last guy with 1st Bct on this thread got banned (EuroFanBmw).

Really appreciate your service man. What are your plans now?

Same thing I've been doin since May: Drive to work. Smoke bud. Go into work. Get off work. Smoke bud with friends. Go home. Play Skyrim/Battlefield 3 till 6 AM. Repeat. :v:

mad respect anyways, what rank did you get out at

Same rank I entered as. Private First Class. Yeah..I was kind of a shit bag soldier. :l

I still can't decide between it or small arms repair or something with computers.

small arms repair [B]life in the armory rip.[/B]

[QUOTE=W0w00t;37778222]small arms repair [B]life in the armory rip.[/B][/QUOTE] I've heard bad things about the armory. I want to do something with firearms, they are a huge interest for me, possibly maintenance or smithing sometime in the future. Would there be a better choice?

if you want to work on ar-15s all your life yes

Ya, don't join the infantry unless you want to suffer like a mother every fucking day and get fucked in the ass every single day by the big green weenie. I really miss the infantry...but boy it was a miserable time lol.
