Under 40. Member off and on of the Legion and VFW since 1990. Renewed back in 2004 in order to see if some of them might be of some help for recruiting, but essentially the biggest help was we got to use their facilities for free when we needed someplace to train recruiters or future soldiers. Just ...

Ranger Draco: I've considered doing this, but I honestly don't want to break my contract. Becoming a Ranger is very important to me, but I'm also going to be proud about becoming an Infantryman. Even becoming a Soldier will be a great honor for me. So I don't want out of the Army just because I can...

Welcome. We probably walked the Kahukus and Makua and earlier, were probably using the MPRC at Ft Campbell at about the same time. I was 11H when I was enlisted in the late 80's, and got to be a PL and XO with Dco 2/327 in the late 90's. When I got to Hawaii in '01, I didn't get to work with the TOW...

I came across this vid, though it doesn't exactly resemble the vids in your links. This weapon is touted to fire 1 million rounds in a minute. http://www.amd.co.at/video/ms_36barrel.mpg To me the logistics of such a weapon lend to unfeasiblity. The weapon itself may be very light....but I'm just thi...

Split training in USAR and option 40
In the DEP intro's, I noticed where a DEP had enlisted in the Reserves as a 31b (obviously not 11b) as a junior, with good reason. The obvious benefits are that while he's a senior in HS, he can get a little extra cash, he'll have Basic Combat Training completed, and he'll have gained some considera...

Partner, you'd better give me a call. I'd like to ask you about what's in your contract. Everything sounds fine but I want to make sure you'll be fully capable of going active AND securing an option 40. And, aren't you a little young to be trying to control 230hp, 235 ft/lbs of torque? How'd you tal...
