You would be surprised. Several of us that post here at the Org are veterns of their respective country's military.I've gone off and joined the army.

Only advice I have is always listen and pay attention to the Drill Sergeant, and most important listen to the Jump Master on the airplane.

Re: Last weeks at the org.
All our best Telys The Conqueror. My son is at Fort Benning now graduating OSUT in 3 weeks, then Airborne.
We'll keep your place here at the Org warm - after training, you may actually have a minute or three to stop by again, and we'll be glad to hear from you.
"All The Way, Sir!"
Be well. Do good. Keep in touch.

Re: Last weeks at the org.
Fix your attitude and you'll do fine. This "nobody cares" attitude will land you in a world of hurt. Just remember that graduating airborne school is quite an accomplishment and that many people (who never got the chance to even go), consider it a very special thing.
Reinvent the British and you get a global finance center, edible food and better service. Reinvent the French and you may just get more Germans.

Re: Last weeks at the org.
Nah, I'm going into transportation, but luckily I had the option to go airbourne on top of that. First Ill go to fort lwood in missouri for basic and ait then I'll go to fort benning georgia. I believe I'm gonna be stationed in fort sill but hopefully I can go regimental and get overseas.And to be honest I still know very little about all of this, I can only tell you whats on the paper in front of me. First unit of assignment: UNAB
Yesdachi- Since I haven't ran in a few years I'm gonna make sure I can atleast run a mile in 8 minutes before I do pt.

Good luck.
Re: Last weeks at the org.
Ah fort lost in the woods. Not a bad basic training post. Hot and humid in the summer but not near as bad as Georgia.
The Army is pretty much based on the regiment system as is, however in my time it did not have much impact upon your duty assignment.
One way to insure you get transfered overseas is to re-enlist for that type of assignment. (only if your interested in staying in.) Depending on your enlistment contract - chances are you will get orders after 2 years to 3 years at Fort Sill for another duty station. (If your contract is 4 years - you will most likely come down on levy for assignment at your 3 year mark. And the Army will ask you to re-enlist for the new duty station.) Pay close attention to what the papers state. Only re-enlist if that is what you want to do.
Fort Sill is not a bad duty station either, if your after deployments to overseas locations. Try to get assigned to one of the Field Artillery Battalions that are part of 3rd Corps Artillery, some deployments to overseas will definitly happen then, plus the Artillery Units often deploy to the NTC and JRTC to support divisional units training at the Training Centers.
If your MOS is going to be what I think it is (can't remember the MOS but I believe 88M) then most likely will will be assigned to one of the Artillery Battalions driving Ammunition vehicles. But if I remember correctly there are several Corps level Combat Service Support units assigned at Fort Sill. All of those units are most likely active in the deployment schedules also.
If you do not want to be deployed - try to get assigned to the Artillery School. (Not that you will have much of a choice.)

Goodbye and Godspeed my friend, if your feeling up to it, read Psalm 23 "As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I shall fear no Evil, for thou art with me, Your rod and your staff they comfort me"
I hope i got that right
Good luck my friend!
When I was a child
I caught a fleeting glimpse
Out of the corner of my eye.
I turned to look but it was gone
I cannot put my finger on it now
The child is grown,
The dream is gone.
I have become comfortably numb...
