yea it use to be 3 weeks and now it's only 2. idk what changed they wouldn't let me go airborn cause of my MOS.idk...

and yes i know i have bad spelling and grammar, always have always will. i have learned to deal with it.

oh and yes start doing lots of chin ups, push ups, and sit ups. and learn the 5 points of contact..lol

Shit. Your spelling seems fine to me, it's all the other shit that sucks. J/K

Within the first few posts of this thread, it amazes me how much people give up to serve their country. I'm a total idiot when it comes to this stuff. Did most of y'all, or people that you know join because you wanted to, felt you had to because of family history, or did it just to do it?

Thanks again to all of you that serve. So much more badass than I could ever hope to be.

I did it because I had no idea what I would do with my future...I left my father's house when I was 16 and joined the Army at 17. I initially joined for life, but things did not turn out that way.

It is disrespectful to post shit like that...scroll down to the bottom of this page and take a look at some Rangers (that I knew) that gave their life for this country...and this was one conflict. There are thousands others.

doc it is not ment in disrespect. I blast that video around my coworkers who are 75% 18 series guys and sprinkled with a few ranger and delta folks also. I can't think of a single one of them that have been upset about it. And I work in a "conflict". I used to stand on Disney during every fallen soldier ceremony in Bagram when they used to do them.

When were you a Ranger? I can bounce names off of you of guys who I work with who are Ranger legends.

I don't think that I have any family members that have served within my memory. I know that my uncle was in the Air Force but I was too young to remember it. Same thing with my Great Grandpa. He served in WWII and lost his leg to a land mine, but passed away before I ever knew him. All I know is that his wife, my "MiMi" was the coolest person that I've ever talked to. Even through middle school, I'd ride my bike over there just to hang out with her and hear her stories. She'd always tell me about his and her "adventures" from different parts of the world.

It's hard to discern someone's intent on the internet...my apologies. It just seemed like the video is meant to make light of people that put their lives on the line.

It's just a ripoff of the "powerthirst" youtube videos.

3rd Gen MOLLE rucks. But they are currently fielding a new pack to deploying units that were issued the Multi-Cam through RFI.

Is that the same thing as an ALICE pack?

[HarrisonTX]

It depends.
Some units dont give a fuck what you use.
the 101st, or 82nd would MANDATE exactly what you wear.
Some schools require you to make your own.
