Yawn.
How exiting. 4 years of being treated like a dangerious,retarded child. Freezing,sweating,ran till I passed out,saw a friend get a compound fracture of his left lower leg because jumpmaster thought it would be"funny" if we parachuted in a high wind, had an E-5 who could'nt even qualify Marksman with a M16A1 rifle. That's just my 1 1/2 years in the Ranger Battalion. Don't forget the "Blue Discs" that go under your brass. As far as I'm concerned,US Army (lack of)training command can take these "tokens" and shove them up there collective asses. My dress green jacket,w/ blue cord(and blue discs!) is in upstairs closet,where it dos'nt mean jack shit. I turned down $10K re-enlistment bonus in 1987,grabbed Honorable Discharge,and had 2 great paying jobs since then. |

I appreciate your esprit and enthusiasm. But there is a phrase that once you have been in awhile you will understand and should not forget. "Amateurs talk tactics, professionals talk logistics." There is much truth to that. How long would the SF operators last deep within the heart of the badlands without a healthy, well-oiled logistics stream behind them? Just sayin'... 4073 |

I though artillery was the "Queen of Battle" - isn't that a term from WW1 or something?
Always, I'm not sure I like the Navy guys referring to me as a "Queen" of anything. |

First Bn up the hill from the reception center. Although we did reception at Ft. Jackson and picked up like 2 guys from Benning's as it was just beginning to get up and running at that point. |

What's funny is that you guys actually do where a cord around your shoulders, don't you? Semper Fi ETA- sorry that's the 5th & 6th Marines |

I had a hunch that I could do better, and I was right. I think you nailed the "groupthink" of the US Army, though. My NCO's badmouthed every soldier who left the Army after one enlistment, I believe, to validate there own decision to re-enlist. |

Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile Nope, they ran 2 Infantry Training Brigades (ITB's) for quite a while; one at Sand Hill, one at Harmony Church. Also, when I went through in '83 Infantry was the only MOS that did initial entry training at Benning, unlike now from what I've heard. Of course I believe Infantry still runs a seperate OSUT, i.e. no mixing with the other pogue MOS's that do just basic there. |
