[QUOTE=Demonlord;18740624]11B is where it's at.[/QUOTE]
Still I could be called into in a 11B if theres a need for it (in truth, everyone is a 11B), but 52D gave a bigger bonus and more military to civilian skills, plus you are less likely to be screwed when reenlisting after you make NCO.

[QUOTE=OutOfPop;18741454]Bet it makes it worth being in debt to most countries, doesn't it? How much does the US owe Japan now?[/QUOTE]
Ohh! I know! I know!
Less than China! Also way less than is owned to Social Security!
AFSC 13NX1 is where it's at. :smug:
[QUOTE=LeYang;18740052]
It's fucking loud, and when you're behind it or by the sides, it feels like someone's just slapping you and you feel it all inside in your organs. Though when you're firing it, you don't even remember that feeling other than "the massive large gun you're firing, is fucking awesome".

It's not that bad, pussy. Now the 84mm carl gustav, that's a whole different game.
I just got out a few weeks ago myself. I'm currently stationed at Ft. Huachuca undergoing UAV training.
Gas chamber sucked.
NIC sucked.
The 25k road march sucked.
Careful not to blow all your money, man. I see you bought an iPhone. Right now you're prolly feeling like you could afford anything. It ain't the case, Battle. Don't go blowing all that cash- you're gonna need it in AIT.
[QUOTE=floppypick;18741078]Wait so, when you go into the military, after basic you get kickass shirts like those?[/QUOTE]
Yeah, a big fat sweaty guy pawns off a bunch of gay little t-shirts for exorbitant amounts of money, and for some reason people just eat that shit up. My battle buddy spent over a thousand dollars on nothing but T-Shirts, and had to turn them in the second he got to AIT because we're not allowed civvies until we phase up.

What was your funniest BCT experience? Some dumbass in our company got confused during grenade qualification- so after removing the safety pin and popping the spoon he handed the grenade to the Cadre member. Fucker tossed the grenade out of the bunker, karate chopped him, and threw his ass to the ground.

So do you get to fly global hawk or predator?

Yeah but you guys are [B]shit[/B] at low fly training.

[QUOTE=Robert!;18743012]So do you get to fly global hawk or predator?[/QUOTE]
Neither, I'm US Army. I won't know what I get to fly until I get my permanent duty station assigned to me. If I'm stationed in Germany, Fort Hood, or Fort Huachuca I'll get to fly the Warrior Alpha or the ERMP. Otherwise I'm "stuck" with the Shadow or Hunter.
What exactly does controlling a UAV involve?

If I told you I'd have to kill you.

Well first, this would be the first impressions compared to all the weapons you use in BCT (M16A2/M4A1, Hand Grenade, M249, M240, M203, then M2). Then you get to see the two best shooters in your company fire off a AT-4 and you'll see the backblast and be amazed, if not slightly dazed of the effect.
Though I have learn to hate tanks with passion, mostly around because I slept at a FTX for a week next to the M1's Range and they were firing nonstop day and night, and those have more effect than a M2, even over a mile away.
Tell us your real name so if you die we can permaban your account.

[QUOTE=Donutsalad;18731232]The real deal, Basic training for the US Army. I need to do my combat medic training still, the chances of my being deployed after training are very high but I wont know until Im finished training.
Im not infantry so I didnt get to play with all the weapons the military has to offer.
Here's a list of what I've shot.
M16A4
.50 Cal
M249
M240
AT4
Grenade Launcher
Practice Handgrenade
Live fragmentation grenade
And that's about it.
I'm told I will train with a M9 (9mm pistol) in AIT.[/QUOTE]
How could you leave out the Mk19? 40mm automatic grenade launcher...I'm not ashamed to say I got a woody firing that thing in basic :D
Edit: Way to not read the rest of the thread. The Mk19 still kicked ass.

We have Army, Territorial Army, Royal Marines, SBS, SAS.. numbers aren't anything and there isn't such thing as an 'ultimate army'
I'm enlisted now. All I have left is the physical at M.E.P.S. (I hate MEPS, I've been there once before and they fucked up my projection. Hard.)
Great, now get enough headshots to get the fall camo paint for your guns
Good work my friend well done :D Just be carefull out there will you.
This post made me have a weird dream! :argh:
I was in the army, strangely America's army, which is weird as I'm English.
We got captured by some russian dude and I had to clean a boat with a butter knife.
God I have weird dreams.

In all seriousness, it's his decision, not yours. Can we go one topic without shouting about how the military is evil, and nobody should join it ever?

I'm more than capable of getting "better" jobs but I don't want to because for me nothing beats the exhilaration and excitement and definitely the experience of being part of a military force
