Seeya you guys later. It's been...um...interesting here. I leave in a week for Basic at Fort Benning Georgia for 13 weeks, then airborne school there for 3 weeks. Probably will end up at Fort Bragg, NC with the 82nd. Who knows, I might get a chance to put in for Italy. That would be fucking awesome. For anyone that cares, my MOS is 11X Airborne Infantry. I'll be jumpin' outa planes, shooting guns, and blowing shit up for a living. and get paid to do it, how much better can it get? lol, but anyways, in all seriousness, I know the dangers, however I feel prepared and can't wait to go. Maybe I'll stop by the forums when I get some leave in December? nah biggrin:

HOOAH!

I wanted to be a Marine Aviator,
but I found out that it would be extremely hazardous for me to get the anthrax and smallpox vaccine (now required) due to a childhood fuckup by my doctor,
what a bum deal cry:

Just to let ya know, Bravo 11, the Army isn't all fun and games. It's not like a video game...

Sergeant_Scrotum · 07-20-2003, 06:02 PM

Captain Bunny · 07-20-2003, 08:22 PM

You never know, you might fuck up and fail basic, or you might decide its not your cup of tea...

but hey! good luck man, all the best.

Of course I know it's not a damn video game, it's a very hazardous job that requires a lot of discipline and stamina. I will succeed and excel. I have a few friends that are already in. One of them has the exact same job as I will have, has been in for a few months in the 1/505th of the 82nd and he told me he absolutely loves it. Another one is at Fort Knox in BCT and writes me a lot. He told me it's a blast and wouldn't even think about doing something else. These two guys, before they went in, were not nearly as excited, or as physically ready as I am, and didn't know half the shit I do. And now both of them love it. This is something I've wanted to do all my life. So I'm not one of these fuckfaces that think they're gonna be Navy Seals or join the Delta Force with the snap of a finger. I know my shit. Not to mention I have a lot of family in the military. They've given me tons of advice. Hell, one of my cousins is a Green Beret and just got back from Afghanistan. It's in my blood. I will be fine.

Captain Bunny · 07-20-2003, 10:57 PM

Its would be a bitter irony if the bus taking you to basic crashed and killed you.
