awsome your in the army too

I recently joined ive been doing my own traning with other recruits and the recruiters who also have been drill sergeants so they are preparing us to be able to handle it with no problems. Especially me since im gona go for special forces. right now i do the mile in 5 minutes and a half but the 2 miles takes me 13 mins so im still working to keep me going at the same speed. I want to d othe 2 miles in 11 or less. I do 30 situps in 29 seconds. pushups im not that great oni can only do 27 in 30 seconds i think my requirement is like 54 , ive lost a ton of upper body strentgh from running so much. also since ive been pushing myself so hard ive found myself baring out lots of bad stuff in me...

but im also becoming intolerant to lots of foods(thankfully its greassy foods)
Ill reach my requirements by the time i ship. well the requirements to become a soldier that is, the stuff that bootcamp is there for(im just getting ahead)

I ship out July 16th.

So you a Grunt or a Ranger?
I would have gone straight into SF training cause i got a 97 on my avsab score, but i didnt meet the age requirement cause im 17 and you have to be 18 and even though ill be 18 by the time i ship they said no still but they told me theyll put me in infantry that is aimed towards sf and if i make it through the sf tryouts then i can go sf.

I know ill make it into SF
Im determined to, i used to be really fit from playing sports all the time then i got a gf and that melted my body and i got to 210lbs but i burned a lot of it off this summer im at 150lbs now and most of it is muscle. But i need to continue to build endurance.

where were you stationed what was it like!!?? im full of questions im curious. my family is packed with marines so they all talkin **** to me well until i told them i was going SF.

Also i raised my rank to E3 so does that really matter or is it worth ****?(cause its still a low rank)


well speak speak im curious man. what did you like what did you hate?

ok I'm a cav scout and I'm going rangers Duece. I do 74 sit-ups in 2 mins and 2 miles in 13:30. also 70 push-ups in 2 mins. I was gassed and that wasn't too bad. as for E-3 its only $400 a month extra and rank means nothing in basic. also anyone going army go into a combat specialty because supply is getting gunned down. I went to Fort Jackson and my first duty station will be Japan. I'm E-3 too going to soon be E-4. Also the marines are just dumb sailors. There great for beach landings but cant hold areas. also if u want u can tell them USMCC stands for Uncles Sams Misguided Children. Also at basic don't act like u know everything U WILL BE SMOKED LIKE A CHEEP CIGAR. all in all the army is the way to go. Also just so u know I went in at 125 lbs now I wiegh in at 145 and it is muscle. Training was easy for the most part we were trained in a lot of U.S. weapons and taught how to survive. there was always PT to do to. Slander its a good welcome from a fellow Starcraft lover.

hmm sounds good dont bag on marines though there good fighters plus they make up most of my family haha. I like how they are positioned like the germans of world war 2, those guys basicly tought us how to fight how we do today. The only reason i went to army is cause im not normal army im gona be in sf so thats why. Otherwise id be marine. marines and army talk crap to each other all the time i just hope they all understand were all on the same team.

Ummm but yeah sounds cool yeah the recruiters told me same thing not to act ****y and like i know everything. Hell nah im gona go in there do what they say and not question it i dont gain anything from question.

but thanx for advice man. dude i really hope democrats dont take over presidential office hahah i used to be hardcore democrat cause i hated republicans pro war moods and stuff but its a totally diff side you see of them in the military
sundenly they become your best friends.

Wow, so are you in the reserve now? My brother should have been in the reserve, I thought it was dumb of him to become active. I just miss him a lot. BTW, he's in the Airforce, something less physically demanded then the Army and Marines. Still demanding it, but not as much.

Im active dude, i think Cid is too. hahah

OH YEAH! one thing NO ONE EVER GO ACTIVE MARINES!!!!

its ok to go active army but active marines sucks ass

my family is full of marines and i know the stories.
You basicly become a janitor for the marines cause your the bottom you barely have a rank if you do at all. and they make you clean all day pretty much.

for marines go reserve.
for army go active.(but dont go for very long)
looks like were gona get help from the UN in iraq so more people will be home but they will probably still go back eventually cause of rotations but atleast this way they can stay home longer.


man even though im going for special forces army
i still sortaa wish i went to the marines. I feel bad for breaking my family tradition. Well The pressure is on me to make it to special forces and if i have what it takes hopefully delta force.

You gona try for delta or SF Cid?
