got the boot from the USAF

[AirBorne]

Fellas,

Went to Scott AFB to see a specialist and take another audiogram and it turns out I am uncommisionable through the USAF.

Ive decided im going the Amry enlisted route. I am leaving in September.

If there are any other bros out there who were/are Army Infantry, Airborne, Ranger, etc, fill me in on some info/experiences/opinions of your career.

With Army, as far as i have been told, the contracts are black and white. The LtCol here at my school is helping me with everything and I plan on doing Infantry BCT, then Airborne School, then Ranger School.

Things seem to be going smooth, but i am curious if anyone out there has gotten screwed on their contracts. I just need some input from the Army bros.

Peace

i was in army , in infantry to, heres what you gotta have happen, you need 11 B in your contract, this is for regular infantry, do not let them put 11 X , the x means they will decide for you, you could be a motorman carryin a ton o shit, or stuck on a bradley fighting vehicle, 11 C or 11 M, anyway dont let there be anything but 11 B

if they saw no slots right now, say thx ill fucking see you later, they will try and screw you, not the recuiter, he just gets you to meps then his job done, the fuck wads that take over screw u, k so make sure it says 11B on contract or you wont sign, these guys are not your fuckin friends, think of meps as Oz, dont get played, then make sure airborne and rip is in there, after basic you will leave and do airborne, then after that you will do rip for rangers, once you pass they will put you in a ranger platoon for awhile where you train and good old army stuff, when they ready for you, you will be sent to ranger school from your platoon, so again, 11B Airborne, and Rip, in the contract,

also you need to know this, when you first sign up, you can choose wherever the fuck you wana go, this will only happen once more in your carrer, that will be your first reup, and even then sometimes they say no way, you can choose from different ranger points, geogia, ft benning , wahsington, lewis, anyway, pick one, dont let army send you whever, your first sign up you get what you want, never happen again, make the most of it,

you can go special forces once you hit e-4, you should be about ready 2 years in, if you can handle it. you pass thier selection process you will have to re up for 5 more years? mabey 6, then spend about one year training, depending on what are assigned, medic / engineer/ weapons / comm whatever good luck bro

just about everyone i knew in basic got screwed, and the fact that this ahole is telling you that contracts are black and white is a lie, be wary of this guy, the first thing they tell you in basic is "we are not your recuiter, we dont care how he screwed you" i personal got screwed, i wanted airborne ft bragg, they put a conus in my contract saying airborne, thought i had it, lie, conus means prefence, didnt mean i got it, well i fuckin didint get it, i was lied to, i was oging to reenilist only if they gave me airborne italy, they said no on italy i went to college, i coulda got airbone italy one my first sign up if i had know better

lemme tell you another that shows how evil recuiters are, they told a firend i had in the army that he could play football for the army, he wasnt bright, but army football is westpoint, we all know this, but he didnt, the took advantage, this kid could been good to, big fullback, screwed him, he wanted to murder his recuriter, he was ruined, ok yea he was stuipid, but thats how evil they will be with you, they dont care about you, they are greasin your ass for a fucking, take care of yourself, get it all in the contract or it wont happen

I am in the Army but I have no experience with the Infantry. But it is pretty much like everyone else says here make sure that it is all in your contract including the Airborne School and Ranger School. I wish you the best of luck.

[Nico Cujo]

Good luck with whatever you decide. My son just came home after a 3 year hitch. His last year was in Korea. He couldn't stand being in the army. They lied to him every chance they got.

I might be wrong but i thought that you wanted to be an officer? if so why the hell would you go enlisted now? well if you still want to go AF but you want a job where you can kill people be a gunner, hellicopter or AC-130. have you thought about pararescute. thats areal neat job if you want reall action to in the AF. iam not trying to sell the AF but you can still go in an get a cool job if you really want the AF. thats just a thought have a good time in what every you do man and dont forget about you contract and save all your papers you sing you might need them down the road.
later.

I know what it is you are scared to go into the Marines, not many people can handle, its ok bro go ahead into the Army. we wont hold nothing againest you.

i was in army , in infantry to, heres what you gotta have happen, you need 11 B in your contract, this is for regular infantry, do not let them put 11 X , the x means they will decide for you, you could be a motorman carryin a ton o shit, or stuck on a bradley fighting vehicle, 11 C or 11 M, anyway dont let there be anything but 11 B

Not to nitpick this good advice, but if you have a RIP contract its going to be 11x, because they decide in Regiment whether you are going to be a 11B or C, etc. etc. , and the potential for failure is higher so they have the most latitude with reassigning people who fail.

 

[Massive690]

in the regular you can only get 11X in the contract, then you will be nassigned either B or C in basic, depending on the needs of the army. if you have RIP in your contract im guessing you will get assigned 11B. the National Guard is the only service that allows you to choose if you want 11B or C

really? wasnt that way in basic for me, people were assinged before basic was over, you dont get trained in B or C at ranger bat, its beofre you leave basic, dunno whats up now, i would try to have it not be x ray anyway

it has been changed in the last few years. A RIP contract is known as 11x option 40. I dont think they have 11m as an mos anymore either. IDK.You can become a 11c at battalion if they feel like it. Shit there used to be 11f(fo) before they went to artillery.

 

[jayce]

I thought you were going in as an officer. Was I mistaken?

Hey Fellas,

Just got back into town. Thanks for all of the replies.

Yes I planned on being an officer and as of right now, my hearing in my left ear has deemed me uncommisionable. Army and Marine Corps standards for officers are the same. I do have the option of the enlisted route and that is what I am taking.

I appreciate all the advice. I will be making sure my contract is set up right.
