hey jim, I'm in middle school and I want to join the army's infantry when im 18, how should i train to be a good runner

[Talljim01]

@JRFOXHOUND75th The way they trained us was monday wind sprints back and forth, Weds a short run of about one to two miles, Friday three mile run. And once a month we did the commander's run which was run until the colonel gets tired. Once at Fort Bragg NC we ran about 7 miles.

[Talljim01]

@LordLeralu haaa I hated messing up around them. I am so tall I ran into the AC unit hanging over the door. The Drill was screaming, You stupid ass private you just dented my air conditioning unit you dumbass private. My head was bleeding and he was like, dont you dare get blood on my clean floor!

Hey Jim i'm going into the army as an M1 Abrams crewmember. Anything you can tell me about them?

[Talljim01]

@DeeznutsFYC Not really, but try google. Most of my units didnt even have the Abrams

Yea let's go to college and be a high ranking private who don't know what the fuck to do in combat!

Here's a tip:

Go to college. If you do the stupid thing of going to the army just after high school, your always going to have a low rank. With a 4 year degree you can actually have a high rank and win a lot of money. My friends uncle didnt go to college, and hes been in the army for 14 years and hes barely staff general.

@Predsfan89 honestly you should research it..too old..not hardly i was in ait with two 40 year old soldiers...you should be able to see the civilian equivalent to army jobs on goarmy.com..cant go wrong with the military tho..good luck

[Predsfan89]
