HOAH! I leave 20101116 for basic. I have a question...just one. After basic, can I bring my own rifle and or pistol back and forth with me while Im serving? Like buy an ar16 here in the states brand new...take it to afghanistan bring it back and put it in my gun cabinet then take it with me again and so on?
@MrTex1987 First off SORRY it took so long to get back to u and NO lol u cant take personal weapons overseas but u can own them on post. AND holy hell u leave in a week lol SO good luck and have fun the only shitty part is the gas chamber
@XxbeouwulfxX Ha! no prob bro. I have already changed my name to Damnit in preperation. But I have heard some things...and they were from a soldier so his experience was very rare im sure...but the guy said noone can check your personal effects and my company commander is my best friend. He didnt say too much more than this...so neither will I. 0.o lol.
Hooah! 13B here leveing september 1st also for Ft. Sill you said your artillery so maybe ill see you there HOOAH! just wondering if your training there ive got OSUT also so let me know whats up.
@thepearljamfan sorry u wont see me there lol its was sept1st of LAST year lol im already at my duty station at Fort BLISS tx. and OSUT doesnt exist anymore you just have BCT and AIT at SILL once u finish BCT u will leave to th AIT dorms by the main PX but you will have fun i promise you lol its a good time
Hey im leaving to fort benning august 11th and i was wondering about being in fair condition and or shape how much running should i be doin ? a decent amount alot ? im also trying to be in special forces tryin to become a army ranger but what are the simple things i should know about being in good enough shape????
Ok well I don't know how old u are so I can't tell u what your pt standards are but for ranger school from what I understand you need 90 points in each pt event so work on your push-ups sit-ups and your run. Also go airborne before ranger school. And as far as being in shape just eat right and excerise its pretty simple. And for more info about SF read "Chosen Soldier" by Dick Couch it will help u understand what it takes to be special forces... if u have any other questions let me know.
First of all..Thank You for serving!! My son Erik graduated basic last week (7-17-09). I'm thinking his advice to you would be..get your body ready..push ups push ups push ups..and ..run run and run again and learn to do sit ups correctly and do um again and again and again. you can lift weights work out on machines but if you can't do the three basics..run..pushup..situps.. to the max then you need to get started. I have some videos on here also look under ProudArmyParents. Good luck,God Bless
cool and gl to you. I've read that the physical requirements are pretty demanding so just keep training. Can't really give any other advice but I've joined the Canadian Forces and leave Aug 08
thanks for posting this video. I leave for BCT in one month FEb. 7th. I love to see people post videos.
