I joined the Army.
    #4056586 - 04/14/05 09:28 PM (18 years, 11 months ago)

I ship out to basic on Wednesday and then 24 weeks of AIT. I know most of the people here will call me a dumb-ass and so on.
I don't really agree with allot of the crap that is going on right now, but it's my decision.
If anyone has been in the Army and would like to give me advice, I would appreciate it.
If you want to flame me, flame away. If you want to give advice then please do.

Good luck......basic training is going to be hell, just remember it doesn't last forever. Be prepared to get deployed to Iraq or another hostile zone, that's pretty much a given. The military isn't for me, but it's great for some folks. Best of luck to you.  :peace:

the army will be an excellent stepping stone for you. I was in for three years and now with the MGIB I get 1200 dollars for every month I go to college. Another great thing is that you could spend every dime you earn and still live comfortably.

Ignore the negative comments, afterall this isn't the greatest message board in the world to get support for this sort of thing. Anyways...

You made a good choice in my opinion. The next 4-6 years could easily be the best years of your life looking back (one day) although it may not seem like it at the time, especially basic training. Just enjoy the scenery and the company of the people you meet, they won't be there forever.

Sign up for the G.I. Bill, even if you don't ever see yourself going to college. It's a miniscule amount out of your paycheck, but if you decide to go to college full time you'll be getting $1,004 a month to do it.

Good luck whoever you are, you'll have a good time.

you actually support the forces you will be joining?

would you perhaps feel inclined to explain to me why you feel it is a good idea to become a cog in a killing machine that is forceing democracy down the throats of weak nations across the planet much like the comunists were, which were unsucsesfull due to our assistance in crushing them, so we could further spread our own influence?

Not to sound like a critical ass or anything, what you do with your life is your own thing, and all the blessing and good luck I can send to you I do, truley, I just don't understand.

Where are you coming up with 1200? $1,004.00 is the maximum payable GI bill rate for full time schooling.

army college fund is in addition to the mgib. Its like a college bonus you may or may not be able to get depending on your job. There is also kicker you can pay 600 dollars into that will give you an additional 150 a month.

Just because you dont kill yourself does not at all mean that you will not be a critical contributing part of a system that does like clockwork. the carburator in a car never touches the road but is still a critical part in helping it move if you can feel my admitidly weak analogy. Whatever your intentions and motivations though, I can't imagine they are wicked in origin, although I do feel you are devoting a part of your life to a wicked cause. I don't, however, imagine you feel this way, and given this I do wish you the best, and hope all goes well for you. And may you learn a great deal from this experience and gain as much wisdom as possible. In a faint way there is a fealing of envy on my part, simply because I know that by going through this you will learn and experience precious leasons from life that I shall never know. You are obviously a strong spirit, and again, I do wish you the best.

I was in the army for approximately 3 months when I was 17. (Yes, 17). Me and the Army decided after that time that I was incompatible w/ military service (Go figure).

I went through orientation and 7 weeks of basic at Fort Jackson outside Columbia, SC. Feel free to PM me and ask me any specific questions you have. DONT TRUST YOUR RECRUITER. I guarantee you that he is a lying, scheming piece of shit. No Joke. Double check ANYTHING he tells you. Including pay, MOS, all that shit. He will lie to you to get his paycheck.

But yeah, PM me or post whatever you need to know and I'll help you out.

Congratulations on joining the military and good luck. I am maybe thinking about joining myself (I am unsure as to what I will do in the coming years). Strangely, the thought of combat does not scare me. But, the thought of being treated like a child by superior officers does scare me.

Before you sign up, get everything your recruiter told you in writing. They flat out lie to you to get you to sign up. Have anything looked over by an independent lawyer. My aunt signed up (for the Army) and had everything put in writing. When the Army didn't live up to its obligations, she was able to get out.

Right on, man, I'm former army myself. Good luck in basic, some camps are going to be more of a pain in the ass, esp. benning or knox, while jackson is pretty laid back, from what I've heard. That being said, you should probably hope for a tough camp, which will prepare you better for the middle east. At basic, just do what the drills say, don't take on extra responsibility if possible, but be sure not to stand out negatively. It sucks to be marked as weak link, and it's worse to be singled out as the fuckup. The drills are going to be all crazy on you for a few weeks, but by a combination of their getting used to you and your advancement through successive phases of training they'll ease up. Inprocessing, the first few days, is probably the worst part, so just hang in there the first few days. Good luck man, and stay safe wherever you are deployed.

My sentiments exactly.

You'll probably have a hell of a time. Hunter S. Thompson "joined" (judge gave him the option of punishment or military) the Air Force, and said it was the most exciting time of his life.

Maynard from Tool also was in the army, and says much of his experiences from noticing the mindless idiot-sheep in there contribute to his songs.

Well I thought about the army
Dad said 'Son you're fucking high'
And I thought 'Yeah there's a first time for everything'
So I took my old man's advice
It was just three sad semesters
It was only fifteen grand
Spent in bed, I dropped out
And joined a band instead

Been thinking alot today...

Got a mustache and a mullet
Got a job at Chik-fi-la
Citing artistic differences the band broke up in my
And in June reformed without me
And they got a different name
I nuked another grandma's apple pie and hung my head in shame

Been thinking alot today...

In this time of introspection, on the eve of my election
God please spare me more rejection
Because my ex-wives and despise me and
My peers they criticize me
Try to leave it all behind me
But my redneck past is nipping at my heals

Been thinking alot today...
I thought about the army.

Well, for some, the Army is a great way to get your life together if you're unsure of things. And you can't beat the benefits, especially the educational ones. Good luck with that, and stay safe....

I smoke 2 packs of cigs a day and drink like a fish. I know it's going to be rough.I'm 24 most of the people that join are fresh out of high school.
According to the army I'm 11 pounds over weight.I know I'm going to hate it.

Iv actually thought about joining the service myself. I would never go into the army though.. The NAVY is a pretty safe route to go if you don't want to get in the line of fire.

Wow swm. No physical preparation whatsoever? Yikes. My buddy that joined used to smoke on occasion, but he quit 3 months before and ran for like 6 months in preparation and did lots of push-ups and pull-ups. I remember asking him if there were out of shape people, and how they could join without preparing himself. He said there are always a few and he couldn't understand that some came in overweight, smoking up until they leave, and out of shape. I guess that describes you. Man that sucks. You might not complete it.
