Good Luck to you Sir and wish you every success with your endeveour :up:

[Kptlt. Neuerburg]

Thanks, it has been great beening here and seeing so many improvements to SH3.

[-SWCowboy.]

Been there, done that, and had a blast! Just remember this, no matter how rough it might get (depending on your RDC's) it's all just a game to them. Tough it out and you'll be glad you did. :cool:

It's easy as hell, just keep yourself looking sharp and you'll do fine :up:

If I can leave you one last hint for success, I hope you pick a squadron, not a ship, cause it's so much better living on dry land and not in a berthing, especially as an airman - you get so much more personal liberty.

Good luck, beware of U-boats once you're out of basic :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

[nikbear]

[Canovaro]

Take care!

[Kptlt. Neuerburg]

Well with any luck I'll get sent to Europe first since I've never been there in person before. If not well my options are stay here in the US, or go to the Pacific.

Doh, im an idiot. Your talking about the real deal, not a game.

Good luck.

Best piece of advice ive heard, (and wish i heard before i went to baisc)

"Don't be first, don't be last, and don't volunteer for anything"

Good luck to you sir...March will be the 35th anniversary of when my old bones 1st graced Great Lakes Navel Base :huh: Damn that was a long time ago:rotfl:

[ronbrewer]

That advice is right on. Just keep a low profile. I remember a couple of guys coming into basic with their heads already shaved and that proved to be a very bad mistake. I figured they just had a bad recruiter that didn't spend any time with them before their departure date.

The advice I got was to remove any picture of a girlfriend or wife from the wallet. During shakedown it gives them one less thing to rag about. Also, don't take a lot of money with you. The ones that did had to write down the serial number of each bill so as to prevent stealing.

The first few days you may feel like you've made a mistake but like the other poster said, it's just a game. The one yelling at you all really wants everyone to graduate. It's a pressure game to make sure you can handle it.

After a few days when you hear the yelling you will no longer tense up. Instead, you'll just think "Looks like someone is getting chewed out."

[Hanomag]

Im sure it will only be a temporary break from us...

We will see you again soon Kaluen, take care and Good Luck..! :up:

"Don't be first, don't be last, and don't volunteer for anything"
Is that even valid these days? I went in back in the VietNam era, and when I pulled the "don't volunteer" line, my CC said "The Army has a draft; the Navy doesn't. When you signed on the dotted line you volunteered for everything!":rotfl:

Anyway, best of luck, Kptlt. Hellmut Neuerburg.:sunny:

[Kptlt. Neuerburg]

Thank you all for your wise words of wisdom. There is no experiance like experiance I guess. (I hope I get to take my computer with me after basic. I don't want to give up playing SH3!!)

[Madox58]

If they tell you Military Aircraft don't land?
Don't believe them!!
:lol:
I spent 4 years in the 82nd Airborne cause of that!!
:rotfl:
Just kidding!

Basic is what you make of it.
CYA!
And you'll be fine.
:up:

Once outta basic you'll be allowed more liberties.
:rock:

[Brer Rabbit]

Best of Luck to you. You've made a great choice. After over 30 years in the US Army, I don't regret a day. As someone said earlier basic and the military is what you make of it -- and my personal thanks to you for voluteering to serve your country.

[Reece]

Good luck! See you on your return.:yep:

[Kpt. Lehmann]

Good luck KptLt. Hellmut Neuerberg!

I salute you sir!

Not everyone has the courage to sign that dotted line and serve their country.

Thank you for what you are doing.

Hang in there.:up: :up: :up:

[Kptlt. Neuerburg]

Jawol Herr Kaptian!!!

[Graf Paper]

Good luck and hang tough, future admiral! :ahoy:

Going into submarines? ;)

Although I was never able to serve, my oldest brother was a marine grunt at the tail-end of Vietnam, my middle brother was an army dogface right after 'Nam, and my dad served as a Petty Officer 3rd Class in the Navy Air Force during Korea and worked as an aircraft structural mechanic.

Their stories were always humorous, interesting, sad, and terrifying. One that my dad told me highlights the hazards of basic training quite well...

The training instructor had the sailors lined up and giving them his daily rant when he finished by asking for two volunteers for a job. "Which of you is rated to drive a 6x6?"
Two sailors cautiously raised their hands and he replied, "Mops and buckets are in the utility shed. Go swab down the Officer's Galley!"

The U.S. armed services is one of the most political organizations of social Darwinism you'll ever find. Just do what you're told and never, EVER listen to any sailor who begins a sentence with, "I got a great idea...".:rotfl:

I'M GONNA MISS YOU, BUDDY!!!:cry:

I HAVE NO IDEA WHO THE HELL YOU ARE, BUT THE POINT IS I'M GONNA MISS YOU!!!:cry: :cry: :cry:


Ok, that's enough.:88)

[Kptlt. Neuerburg]

Well today is the day. At 13:00 hours I'm leaving for basic training. Thank you everyone for your advise. I will do my every best. Good Bye for now. I shall return.

[trongey]

I've always been confused by the military.
1st, they're the only group I know of that pays its volunteers.
2nd, they're expected to abuse their new employees in ways that would result in lawsuits and probably jail time anywhere else.

But what do I know? When I was a kid I wanted to join the marines, because I figured they must be the ones who got to ride in submarines. It made sense to me.:88)

Good luck.

[Ivan Putski]

Best of luck to you, I`m a 20yr. vet U.S.M.C. fair sailing, and may you get the ports you want. Puts:up: :up:

[Kptlt. Neuerburg]

Well this is my offical last post for this thread. Once again thanks for all the advise everyone. I should be back around march at the lastest. So Good Bye, Good Luck, and Good Hunting. Kptlt. Hellmut Neuerburg signing off.:cry:
