@bcta302 not even. I kno people who have BA's.....for FREE. well minus application fees and lil junk like that. I went right outta high school. went to war, came home on a stretcher.....without that foundation(fam incl.), life became a bitch. Yeah, I was all HOOAH for the iInfantry topo and said fucc it, ill survive and put in 20....MORAL is: life is unpredictable.
Depending on what slot is open to ship down range from MEPS to whatever military base your going to.Some people I knew joined a week before going to Infantry OSUT and some wait a year. As for me it took me two months and FYI freggin stall to go BCT to another date as I did, the reason is because the girl I was going to Marry and decided to stay another month, and now wished shouldn't have done that if ur gurl is willing to wait let her wait and be faithful
there is no greater love than for one man to give his life for the good of his country. this is the true feelings of an infantryman. april 2007 graduated osut first time. 2009 civilian again and 2011 going back to serve my contry again. 11b is the only way to be. see you soon my brothers
@justin2800 ...Really depends on the DS as to when. Generally its the fourth or fifth week. As for how do they determine who gets what? DS says, "here you get this!!!" Just pray you don't get the 240B!!!! Its a heavy beast, but makes the most beautiful sound!!!
It is said that you have to be stupid to join the Infantry but you have to be smart to do the job of an Infantryman. To be an Infantry soldier you have the hardest job of the Army and the support of everyone else. OSUT training 2006, Easy Co 2-19, Sand Hill, Fort Benning, GA. We set a new standard. My training got me home.
They DO NOT train them like they used too. I respectfully accept their decision to fight and serve as Infantry soldiers however they will face Non-PC, no bullshit, squad leaders (such as me) to PROPERLY break their ass!
Shipping to Fort benn, october 4th, infantry. any others in this time frame hit me up at harleyyoung7@yahoo.com. get to know each other before we are in bct/ait
Im 4th genaration army 11b cant fuckn wait to git this shit started!! we dont quit and we dont back down,i an guna live forever so im guna do it my way!! the INFANTRY WAY!!
You still have Drill Dergeants at AIT? I thought once the BCT portion of OSUT was done the Drill Sergeants went away and you got different instructors
@Nefbass LMAO. the breezeway, our DS Daglish stated once, Listen up men! if one more person even fucking twitches, i will fill this breezeway with your sweat and we all get to take a dip! well, someone twitched..
@jandj121091 Yes. OSUT stands for One Station Unit Training. The first half is BCT and then normally you get a family day and a day pass. You do not have a graduation ceremony at the end of BCT -- that's what family day is. Then you go directly into AIT with the same unit, same station... nothing changes other than the focus of your training. After you are finished with AIT you have a large graduation ceremony. This was our experience at Ft. Benning.
@jandj121091 Well now they also have something called split op training where you split your training up...but that's only if you're a junior in high school HOOAH
20100816 is my ship date. to fort benning. hooah. scared as hell im such a fuckin fat ass runnin my 11 minut mile in rsp their gunna chew me up and spit me out
@Miat62 tht will depend entirely on you. Fatness is a temporary condition that if you think your capable of becoming infantry, you are most certainly capable of relieving yourself of. start eating alot less and start running. thats the short and sweet of it. if you go in with that kind of attitude they most certainly will have a blast with your butt. go in there ready to learn, thats what your there for.
for all you guys who posted your ship dates on here good luck. and have fun Ft. Benning is a lot of fun. your DS's know there shit so listen, they like the sound of there own voice but thats not why they talk theyre just teaching you guys how to stay alive when the bullets start flying. Good luck with training and the rest of your military career. HOOAH!
Did you guys have any inserts who were reclassing to infantry? Did they stay with you in the trainee barracks or did they train with you and disappear at the end of the day?
I graduated 25 Sept 09 and let me just say that while i was there i dropped 50lbs. got ripped and worked my but off, but after all was said and done, when you get that pin and your drill Sargent shakes your hand, it makes it all worth it. now for low lights prepare for a lot of discipline and no sleep. also STAY AWAKE!! its no fun getting smoked for falling asleep in a class. um...oh and pay attention because the stuff your drills teach you is some awesome stuff.
@odinswolves thats pretty inspiring, exept for wieghtloss lol, i am under weight. I go to Benning July 19th. Infantry OSUT. I am trying to gain weight before i go but i dont wanan loose it all in training
don't worry about a thing, depending on what company you get you should have an amazing time. just remember that when you get there make the best of it because its not fun by any means but as i personally look back on it i really did have a good time and the friends you make last a life time. i still talk to my battle buddy and he is in Haiti right now and some others from my company are deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan.
The highlights of being an infantryman are walking everywhere with 80+ lbs. on your back, little or no sleep in the field, and being shot at and shooting back when in combat. The low points of being an infantryman... none.
Listen to what your drill sergeants teach you and give them the respect they deserve, and most importantly, never give up. When you're on your ruck march and you feel like you're going to collapse, remember, everyone else is feeling the exact same way you are.
you wont get sniper school till you get to your unit and you shoot there. and you make pfc. I know thats what i did. Im in germany so i went to nato sniper school
@ak907ryan so I have to prove to the commander of my unit that I can do it? or what do I need to do? whats it take to get to private first class? Im doing future soldier stuff so hopefully that speeds it up.
shit I know some kids there recruiters just gave them pfc. but if not it from an E-1 to E3 will take you like a year. And if you get to your unit and their sniper section needs one they will be looking for one have a high pt score and know your shit. When you get to your unit ask for a FM 23-10 and read that shit likes its your bible. And if you really stand out and they want you they will promote you. Lots of different shit you can do. But getting it at future soldier would be way easier.
alright, im checking out that FM 23-10 thanks for telling me about this, now how likely is it that I can get into sniper school, im still going to shoot for it no matter how hard it is, but I just want to know what im up against. I have not even left for basic and im meeting ranger level PT requirements, but ive got some people who are saying hell ya you should get into it easy, and others saying I dont have a chance, figured id ask you since you actually got in.
All I have to say man is read the FM decide if its what you really want to do. It's not like you see in the movies you are not gonna be blowin peoples heads off all the time. you are gonna be the eyes and ears of the infantry company or platoon or whoever you are attached to man. You will just be an overwatch element for the most part. And if you dont make it as a sniper look into being a Squad designated marksmen thats what i was at first its pretty good start to the fundamentals of shooting.
I ordered the fm and started reading it, im still in the beginning but so far im still very interested..I understand that its not like the movies and the fm even says if your doing this for prestige and shit like that your probably not gonna make it because you have to kill another human being that isnt even trying to hurt you. But yah man thanks for the help this is the most solid foot hold I have to know what to expect.
@cmoney1886 Yes you do AIT before Airborne school How dont they add up? Basic Training is 9 weeks and AIT is 5 weeks. Making OSUT 14 weeks for infantry. After AIT ill have to wait in benning for a little over a week to start Airborne school.
I got you...my bad. I assumed ait would be a little longer. As a 68w, my AIT is 16 weeks and I head out for BCT 20100329. Thanks for the info. Best of luck to you, bro!
I head over Febuary 1st, but I would still have shark week until the 8th, so yeah I dont truly start until the 8th of febuary, you will be a little ahead of me it looks like.
yeah no shit dude im sick of the cold, i live in a cold place already, I spent a month in georgia working on a farm last summer and it was hot as hell, now its cold!! it fuckin sucks man
start running right now my friend, you need to get used to it. also, keep in mind you'll be going to Bennign in July... get ready for that shit. i was at Air Assault school last April and it was already hot as shit then. prepare yourelf for the hardest thing you've ever done (you'll do harder after that though).

you wont get sniper school till you get to your unit and you shoot there. and you make pfc. I know thats what i did. Im in germany so i went to nato sniper school

@ak907ryan so I have to prove to the commander of my unit that I can do it? or what do I need to do? whats it take to get to private first class? Im doing future soldier stuff so hopefully that speeds it up.
TheMemman 2 years ago
shit I know some kids there recruiters just gave them pfc. but if not it from an E-1 to E3 will take you like a year. And if you get to your unit and their sniper section needs one they will be looking for one have a high pt score and know your shit. When you get to your unit ask for a FM 23-10 and read that shit likes its your bible. And if you really stand out and they want you they will promote you. Lots of different shit you can do. But getting it at future soldier would be way easier.
ak907ryan 2 years ago
alright, im checking out that FM 23-10 thanks for telling me about this, now how likely is it that I can get into sniper school, im still going to shoot for it no matter how hard it is, but I just want to know what im up against. I have not even left for basic and im meeting ranger level PT requirements, but ive got some people who are saying hell ya you should get into it easy, and others saying I dont have a chance, figured id ask you since you actually got in.
TheMemman 2 years ago
All I have to say man is read the FM decide if its what you really want to do. It's not like you see in the movies you are not gonna be blowin peoples heads off all the time. you are gonna be the eyes and ears of the infantry company or platoon or whoever you are attached to man. You will just be an overwatch element for the most part. And if you dont make it as a sniper look into being a Squad designated marksmen thats what i was at first its pretty good start to the fundamentals of shooting.
ak907ryan 2 years ago
I ordered the fm and started reading it, im still in the beginning but so far im still very interested..I understand that its not like the movies and the fm even says if your doing this for prestige and shit like that your probably not gonna make it because you have to kill another human being that isnt even trying to hurt you. But yah man thanks for the help this is the most solid foot hold I have to know what to expect.

Hey I go the 26th of jan but dont start BCT till feb 5th and have airborne school may 24th what about you?

@bootlegtwizzler
Don't you have to do AIT before airborne school? And if you're doing OSUT those dates don't add up.
cmoney1886 2 years ago
@cmoney1886 Yes you do AIT before Airborne school How dont they add up? Basic Training is 9 weeks and AIT is 5 weeks. Making OSUT 14 weeks for infantry. After AIT ill have to wait in benning for a little over a week to start Airborne school.

I got you...my bad. I assumed ait would be a little longer. As a 68w, my AIT is 16 weeks and I head out for BCT 20100329. Thanks for the info. Best of luck to you, bro!
cmoney1886 2 years ago
