Welcome & thanks for your desire to serve!

Damn straight 38 is old for the military! I was in the Navy for 6 years & was out for a WHOLE fuckin' number of years. Went in the Army in my mid-30s. I lasted for another 21 years. Even in my last years I aced the PT test BUT: it got harder each year. I doubt you'd be able to go into any SpecOp...

Sorry Tater Nuts I just ate some tater tots for lunch & it was a brain fart that did me in & disrespected your name!!

Listen to TaterTots. He has his shit together. Never quit & take it one day at a time. Don't worry about tomorrow. Sufficient are the troubles of today.
Good Luck & God Bless you!

I wore a cast at one time & I still qualified for the military. It eventually came off & I was fine. I wore a neck brace while in & didn't get kicked out. It eventually came off & I was fine. I had sutures many times before, during & after the military. They came out & I was ...

Most interesting thread I ever saw!! Almost 2 years old! Anyone know what happened to him?(her?) Was he/she discovered by in-the-know RIP instructors? I won't ever believe he went to Regiment let alone finished RIP! If he did then more power to him. It'd be funny if he was tabbed & came on here ...

Caleb, The highest priority for the counselors is to fill slots in MOSs that the Army is in short supply of regardless of the wants/desires of the recruit. my son had signed an original contract for Cav Scout as there were no Infantry slots available. Having just retired I still knew some people &am...

Good luck to your son. I hope he heals up OK. He'll have a bit of OSUT left to get in shape & at 19 he shouldn't have any trouble. My son broke his femur when he was 8 & as soon as the cast was off he did soccer for his grade school & started wrestling after that & when the season wa...

Just keep pushin' yourself physically & mentally. Don't take any shit from the recruiters. My son was "offered " a Cav Scout contract at first. They said no 11x slots available but it was "just like Inf." When he came home from MEPS I went on to explain to him exactly what Ca...

Welcome Recce. My Mom was born in Regina so I guess that makes me half Canuck, eh?
