Where are you going to serve? Infantry? Air? Navy?
This thread should in fact be in the GT forum, where more people will see it :hmm: I'm moving it there and leaving a direct link from here. Thanks

Sandbag-filling  It can be fun if you're the moto type. Your mental attitude is very important, though. If all you ever think about is how much everything sucks, it will. Learn to master the art of good-humored bit**ing about everything all the time.

Good luck antikristuseke!
Never been in the army myself, but I guess like a lot of things in life; you'll get out of it what you put in; keep positive and keep your sense of humour about things and like UnderseaLcpl says, if all you think about is the bad stuff then its probably going to suck, otherwise it should be a great adventure

11B MOS, Infantry 11C MOS, 120mm Mortar Artillery 11H Infantry, Anti-Armor 11M Infantry Mechanized Somewhere in all your enlistment papers is a MOS slot and assignment to a primary MOS producing school for your AIT (Advanced Individual Training.) You will go through this school after boot camp and before reo]porting to your first duty assignment and unit. Get used to doing ALLOT of walking. Good luck to you and when you become a leader, look after your troops. If it's not the USA, most countries Infantry Branch are arranged about the same.

Service life is what you make of it.
Be a mopey bastard and you will not only destroy your own happiness but most likely the morale of most around you. Be a positive guy, willing to laugh during the cold wet & exhausting ****e, and you will have a good time, even if you still want to get out ASAP. |

I've been in the Infantry. Joining the military is like trying to have sex in a bathtub, it looks like a great idea until you try it.

make the best of any situation, and remember it's only a small amount of time in your total life.......wished I would have enjoyed more and bitched less......when you're older you will only remember the good times you had, and forget the parts that sucked...................
