I was thinking about joining the army but have a couple questions. How bad is boot camp because I am a big boy and I am affraid that nine weeks of running all day might kill my mommas baby boy? After you make it through the nine weeks of pure hell is it worth it?

 

Anyone who has done it states it worth it. Thanks for wanting to serve this great country. Your a true american my friend[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

Hell yes it's worth it[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] It gives you the self gratification of making it through a tough, grueling time. It makes you look at things in a different perspective and you learn, You can over come anything, life has to deal you. After boot camp, it depends on what your MOS will be. It could be as rigorous or it can be going to computer school. But, there will be some physical training involved. I think, when your done with boot camp, Momma will be proud of her baby boy[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]And, I think you will be proud of yourself too.

Also, thank you for wanting to join and help keep America and the world Safer[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

My three years had me at Fort McClellan, Alabama, Camp Humphrey's, South Korea and Fort Bragg, North Carolina[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

Its not bad at all but then again everyone says that when they grad almost 6 yrs ago. But its deff worth it, if I had it to do over again id do it. Besides if i wouldnt have joined I wouldnt have seen how good we have it in the states.


My 5 1/2 years have taken me to Ft. Bragg N.C.,Afghanistan,Ft. Hood and Iraq lovely isn't it

 

When your in boot camp are you training 7 days a week?

 

Go for it. I will say that boot camp is the easy part of your enlistment if you choose the route that I took. Join the Infantry and really punish yourself. I guess everyone thinks boot camp is so tough because your trying to adapt to the military. What you will find out is down the road when you start doing really world operations, they are far more demanding both physically and mentally than boot camp. One thing to remember right now is that once you get in you my not be able to get out as the Army has imposed a stop loss. This means that no one is leaving. If you do decide to join think long term. Like after you get out. Go for a lot of college money and a big bonus. And don’t spend the all the bonus either, invest it.!!!!!!! So go see the recruiter and tell him you want MOS 11B (Infantry), Airborne School and a Ranger slot. Then when you hit your duty station you most likely be in a Infantry unit, Airborne unit or Ranger Battalion. All of which have a high sense of cohesiveness between members and they take care of each other for the most part. Good Luck
