Got anything questions, myths, or thoughts you wanted to know about the army? Or maybe just me in general? Well here's another one of those "Ask me anything" type deals but being apart of the U.S. military I can answer hopefully any questions for people about to join the army or people curious about the army.

Note* I know nothing of the Navy, US. Marines, Coastguard, or Air force. I know basically of the U.S. Army/ (U.S. Army National Guard mainly (as that is what i am.)

So hack away with your questions!

Were you issued an M4? If so, what optic were you issued? Do you like it? If you were issued an ACOG, what reticle do you have?

How do they decide what you are assigned to(regiments/brigades etc.)?
What is the maxiumum time you can be deployed?
For how long have you been deployed so far?
How hostile are commanding officers?
What do you fear the most?
How much of your training is physical? how much of it is mental?
Where are you currently deployed/have been deployed?

What kind of hand to hand combat skills are you taught?
How intense is the training and what were the exercises you had to perform?

EDIT: do you think you're the baddest man on TL.net?

What you meant was, "lol you're building an AR15 and you want opinions on optics from people that use them?"

Also, the M68 CCO is the Comp M2? I think it is.

If I go with Aimpoint I'm either going to get a Comp M2/4 or go for the T1.

How was basic? A friend of mine joined the Navy last year and assured me that it was a breeze; I was curious as how they compare between branches.

How long have you been in? deployed?


What are (in your opinion) the pros and cons of Army service?

Was It a good decison?
In Hungry Hungry Hippos there are no such constraints—one can constantly attempt to collect marbles with one’s hippo, limited only by one’s hippo-levering capabilities.

My question is, was that letter still the best letter you've gotten to date or has there been something more epic, if so what?

Do you really have to strip off all your clothes and stand in 2 rows facing each other while a Sergeant inspects you and tries to make you cry?

why would you join the army and fight for the interests of a select elite that has nothing to do with you?

What role are you in the U.S. Army?
How are your superiors in Basic, and coming out of Basic?
Are there group punishments in Basic, and how would you deal with someone else that made the error instead of you?
Venture Capital is better off spent on lottery tickets rather than investing in E-Sports; you'll get a far better return. The difference is simple: Koreans are tryharding at the game, foreigners are tryharding in real-life.
