To all the Army Infantry brahs....

[Tingram7]

I've signed the papers. I've sworn my oath. I've graduated from my basic course. I've graduated from an advanced, ASI producing, course. I'm a leader of Soldiers.

What have you done?

All you've done is make excuses.

You're an idiot that's all I have to say.

[PrettyPinkDonut]

Ive only heard bad things about airborne ..

we had a lot of airborne noob NCOs too, ****ers landing in all sorts of ****, missing the DZ by a damn mile, hitting trees and ****

not the cadre's fault but a dude broke his back in my class on jump one

An WTF at the guy making fun of someone who signed and leads soilders? he has done more then you have *******. Thanks for the service cheekyrunt <3

airborne school is anything but intense, it is boring as balls and the only people that "didn't make it" were our heat casualties and some dumbass who kept bringing gatorade to formation (like not even in a canteen, like a straight bottle of gatorade)
yeah felt bad for that dude...apparently he is actually at IBOLC with me right now but IDK his name

[Echo399]

Way too much d!ck measuring in here. If anyone is serious about trying to get into SF then they will do their own research and know the pipeline for themselves. Y'all are getting off topic, if you want to play the part then act the part. I don't care if you're a leader of soldiers, a marine, or SAS. Talk from experience, stay positive, and stay on topic.

from my very short experience with the military I can say that there is a constant dick measuring contest going on especially with the junior guys, officers and enlisted

no one really gets hurt BAD...mainly broken ankles, sprains, or knee injuries
IDK what the stats are but I'd say you'll lose about 10% of your class to jump injuries

Someone's mad.

[AgRyan]

Just wanted to get some feedback on everything.

I've been planning to enlist for a while, ended up not signing a few months back because I felt my priorities weren't in order and didn't want to commit until I could give 110%..wouldn't want to give anything less. I know where I want to go and what I want to do. However I've heard good and bad about peoples experiences in the army, the bad isn't enough to deter me from my goals. I'm prepared as much as I can be for whatever life throws at me.
Just wanted to ask those of you in any combat MOS, if you could give any advice to someone preparin g to go through what would you say??

I'm a few drinks in on this Saturday night so sorry if my grammer sucks

Thnks misc brahs!

Sounds like your head / motivation is in the right spot.

If my little brother - who is my best friend who I love more than anyone - was about to go through basic/infantry school, I would make sure he was in decent condition, able to at least pass the PT test, but nothing more than that. I would make sure he concentrated on spending time with the family and his friends, and creating memories that he will be able to look back on which will make him happy. Having good memories to look back on will get you through harsh times better than being in a little better shape than everyone else.

On mile 20 of a 25 mile ruck march, it's not the people who are in the best shape who make it, it's the people who have the clearest heads, their eye on the price, and have memories to look back on so they can wash out the rocks that feel like knives every step they take.

I entered basic with a bottom half PT score, and left with a top 10 PT score and offers to go to Airborne/Rangers/SF. As long as you commit yourself to try your best during the PT/smoke sessions, you'll get good at everything you'll need to be good at.

Also, don't go in with an 18x contract. It's the biggest waste of time ever. If you signed one, go change it, it's not too late. You can ALWAYS go to selection and try to become SF whenever you want in your Army career. You don't need to sign a 6 year contract to do it. Sign the minumum contract (you will get better bonuses if you re-enlist later, and you have the option to change your shyt sooner) and you can still go to selection. Signing an 18x contract basically just means you signed a longer contract and go to selection right away, instead of going to your unit and then going to selection, which is ALWAYS an option. It's not hard to get a spot to selection. Sign a few papers, take a few test, get a finger up your ass and you're good to go.

Lol I'm getting so much crap just because I actually want to become sf, not because some gay game or movie, I really want it, and I guess people can't enjoy on other people trying to become successful on what they want to do.
