Remember it's not too late to just tell them you're gay and avoid the great middle east vacation!

So how do you like it so far?

so far its awesome... getting to do some things that civilians would never get to do or see...

firing m16's and going through a gas chamber... combat training... repelling down a 50 ft wall with just a rope... we are trained to kill... its kinda frightening if you really think about it... but so far no regrets...

The M16A3 (or A4) combat rifle is a good weapon, just keep it clean and it'll provide you with a long time of service. I'm working on getting my weight down and I'm going to join the Army as a 63-Bravo (light-wheeled vehicle mechanic), after that I'll probably make it a living, I've always wanted to join the military, just have had to get my weight down to "normal" standards, which I'm working on right now, its a slow go, but its always easier to add than it is to subtract.

I hear you, 76.

I missed this thread when it was originally posted so instead of telling you to go with the Navy like I would have if the military allowed asmatic, single kidney freaks to join. Too much of a liability, apparently. Anyway, good luck and enjoy your time. A big thanks for serving.

To bad I'm scared for life now. Sometimes I regret it other times I want to go back.
