So i enlisted into the Army today. So i'm pretty pumped Mos- Airborne Infantry. Ship Date-March 22. Very excited. Right after basic, and tech school i'll be shipped off to afghanistan. So it'll be an adrenaline rush Just thought i'd share with the NF community
Thanks man, an i'm gonna try to be. Really excited about it though, my friend is over there now, and he says i will be perfect for infantry. lol, but i get a 60k signing bonus SCORE!
you ship out on my birthday, that's exciting I have a friend in afghanistan right now. I actually met him on neopets back in the day good luck!
I signed up for 6 years active, 4 years reserves. An i'm glad you guys are wishing me luck Makes me feel loved
Figured they got you for a long contract since they don't give out big ass bonuses for for short enlistments unless you go SF. Paid out over the 6 years or do you get half after basic and half after term?
Yeah, i wanted to go big, i wanted the bonus. (imagine the np's i can buy) xD and i get it throughout my term. i wish i got half after basic, and half after term.
Hmm nice. Have a buddy who went airborne right out of highschool and loves it. He finishes his 6 years next year(I think) and he's gonna try and switch to special forces.
yeah, i'm gonna try an cross train to SF when i hit 21. (LAME ARMY RULE) Can't be in SF with the army untill your 21, so when i reach half of my term, i'll re-enlist right then, get another bonus, and join SF That's my plan at least. Hoping it goes this way.
If you're planning on crossing over to the SF make sure you're the best, or at least among the best in your PT and PT tests they'll take a look at your fitness report since you were already enlisted.
