Basic Training

[Quiksilver]

Hey

In a month or so, I'll be out of school and have 7 months(28 weeks) off before I go to university.

I'm currently looking for useful ways to spend that time and had a thought to spend 9 weeks taking the Army's Basic Training course.

Have any of you taken it, and what are your opinions on it?

I have several e-friends that done that, and several more in combat. It's a great thing. Go for it. Know that sacrifice in the name of your country is uncalled for right now. But get the training, it must be good as according to my e-friends.


Motivation + Great training you just can't give yourself by alone.

Boot camp is generally too short to really get all that rudementary discipline down.
But go for it, it can only do you good, kiddo!
Good luck!

I seem to recall that they let Tiger Woods do the basic training without enlisting, but Joe Average I"m not sure if they'd let do that. And even if they did they'd probably recruit you the wholetime.

It is a great thing to serve ones country though.

Alright, well that 7 months is over now, and I'm on my way to university soon.

I've had a long long time to think about it.

When I'm done university in 4-6 years, my plan is to join the air force or navy for a couple of years. Completing college/university before joining means I can join as an officer.

My mind might change in the future, or the state of the world might change by then, but as of now I feel that would be an interesting experience to add to my life.

I've always been drawn towards it, i think i know why... Both my grandfathers were in the army in world war two. One was an artillery sargeant fighting in the phillipeans(sp?) and one was a b17 pilot, thankfully he never got to open the bomb hatch . My great great great grandfather was an irish born austrian field marshal who commanded 18 000 soldiers against Napoleon.

i guess it's in my blood

Any soldiers here who have any tips?
