My Introduction

Post by r3b0rn »

Currently a SPC 2 years 9 months in the Active Army
Joined the Army 1JAN08 as a 25U Signal Support System Specialist at the age of 19.
Attended BCT at Ft Benning, GA E 2/47 Patriots, Attended AIT at Ft Gordon, GA B 3/69 graduated in July

i was then assigned to HHC 1BSTB 1BCT 1CD Fort Hood, TX shortly after i was deployed 3FEB09 to OIF 09-10 serving as a gunner/driver/dismount for civil affairs missions with the MP's of my battallion. At the end of my deployment i decided i was tired of the regular army it seems like it is all lazy people who dont want to be in the army? yet they stay in for years it really makes no sense to me. So i re-enlisted to attain enough time to go to RASP which i then received ATTRS reservations for 08OCT10 class of airborne and 05NOV10 class for RASP.

I am honestly ready to go a little nervous but im sure its going to be a hell of a time i am pretty decent at pt and rucking, of course ive been training hard trying to prepare myself i've always wanted to be a ranger i really didnt know much about the army nor did i do much research before i joined so its long awaited chance.

Welcome aboard stud and welcome home.

It will only serve to help you in the future, so please pay more attention to detail when posting. Caps where appropriate etc.

At first glance, it's akin to showing up at a job interview with your shirt untucked.

Again, welcome and thank you.
