US Army Basic Training - Firing Weapons

Fort Benning Television - These Soldiers have all their gear, fresh haircuts and are in the middle of Basic Training. This is the day to fire weapons. This is the real welcome to the US Army.

About the U.S. Army Installation Management Community:

IMCOM handles the day-to-day operations of U.S. Army installations
around the globe - We are the Army's Home. Army installations are
communities that provide many of the same types of services expected
from any small city. Fire, police, public works, housing, and
child-care are just some of the things IMCOM does in Army communities
every day. We endeavor to provide a quality of life for Soldiers,
Civilians and Families commensurate with their service. Our
professional workforce strives to deliver on the commitments of the
Army Family Covenant, honor the sacrifices of military Families, and
enable the Army Force Generation cycle.

Our Mission: To provide standardized, effective and efficient
services, facilities and infrastructure to Soldiers, Civilians and
Families for an Army and Nation engaged in persistent conflict.

Our Vision: Army installations are the Department of Defense standard
for infrastructure quality and are the provider of consistent, quality
services that are a force multiplier in supported organizations'
mission accomplishment, and materially enhance Soldier, Civilian and
Family well-being and readiness.

I really don't appreciate the association you are making between military training and to video games. Soldiers who join the military to play "real" video games are ripe for PTSD when they experience what it's "really" like. The message you're sending here is not only immature, it's seriously dangerous.

You think its funny to be in the army but when you're in war, everything change.

Your chance of survive is the ability you got and also, when one of your teammate die front of you, psychological problem after war. It is not only ''surviving'' the problem, it is also be strong psychologically. Just think about it. Don't join the army just because in the video games its funny, your not a hero in real life, you have only one life. Live you life as you can.

@1337faqsguy Why so uptight? She's just making the analogy that if you expect this to be like a video game, you're mistaken.

@Al3xstation "More respectable" branch? Every branch of the Military deserves the utmost respect! Key word "branch" they are all from the same metaphorical "tree" which is the U.S. Armed Forces. My father was a CSM in the Army and he NEVER disparaged other branches of the Military, in fact he showed them respect. That's just ignorant to say one branch is any more respectable than the other. They all risk their asses in one way or another, and are ALL deserving of respect.
