Are you guys allowed to have sex with prostitutes? Do you guys have free time during the day and what do you if yes? | ||

To expect, hmm I guess just be prepared to get insulted (just don't take it personally) and get ready to exercise a lot. Also everyday is like a day in Gym in highschool but everyday is something new. If you liked gym you'll like the training.

He's actually a really nice guy, they become more friendly towards the end of basic, the tough guy act is just for show to break you and put fear into you. Hand grenade, I sent it flying a good 80-100 yards On January 08 2011 18:49 Licmyobelisk wrote: was thinking the same, well does size matter? I'm only 5'4 and around 130 pounds. Also are you mentality prepared to kill to defend yourself? I ve seen someone who was 4 foot something and I don't know his weight but I'm assuming it wasn't very heavy. And being mentally prepared to defend myself, I guess would be one of those things you wouldn't know till it came to be upon myself and had to take action.

BAMF ive seen in the army so far would of had to been my drill sergeant, If you could name anything as in air assault, ranger, sapper, etc he was it or been it. Hmm to get in shape for basic i recommend a low number of push ups, sit ups, and a slow 2 mile run maybe not even 2 miles. Do them in the correct form/pace! That would be to begin with, then gradually work your way up. If you can start high go for it but you need to be able to do 42 push ups if you're in the age category that I am in (18-21), 53 sit ups and a 2 mile run in 15:52 or :56 one of those two.

Food is actually not that bad, it's a lot better then I would make for myself back home for sure. But nothing beats the food at basic training, for some reason its the best food but you never have the time to enjoy it. Sex, only if you don't get caught  .This is what I do in my free time, I stay updated with SC/SC2, talk with friends and family back home, watch a movie here and there, and play against the computer here and there on insane to keep my skills somewhat alive.

I'm interested in as to why people would enlist. What is the demographics of your peers in the army? (income/education level, race, etc) If someone has joined the National Guard its a good reason that they joined for money for college or they want to serve but not fully commit. I'm both. I didn't want to fully commit because then SC would of been gone out of my life for a long time. Along with family/friends as well as my current GF. Some people want to join because they have no other career choice to go to, they didn't plan their futures out enough. You sleep all they way through high school and you get out and you have no plans. For others they planned to do it for the experience, to get away from home, from life, or to say you've done something. Hmm most my fellow buddies are college graduates, or just out of high school, Being from NH, i think we have only 1-2 African Americans, and the rest are white. I have no asians  .As for their income level I couldn't really tell you because most of us are really old where i don't bother to ask or really young with no income level really.

Probably a good idea, military likes to teach things at a 3rd grade level (thanks to the infantry) so you'll probably learn stuff you already know. | ||

Sorry for missing this one t.t. hmm I have to see a lot more military movies I actually haven't seen to many, but the ones that i've seen, hmmm... sometimes they are somewhat close, others are wayyy off. But never one that resembles the real deal.

Sergeant Major has the most influence, a 2nd LT just kind gives his opinion on the matter at hand. The LT can try to influence it more his way though if he's a stubborn ass. | ||

Does being in the army make you better at Call Of Duty games? Because your probably more familiar with tactics and you were probably taught how to communicate very effectively while in combat. | ||
