Re: Question about airborne units

I somehow had the fortune/misfortune of ending up at 1/509th JRTC. We had all walks of life in that unit; 173rd, 82nd, 101st, 75th RGR.. There was good times and bad, but looking back on it I would say more good times. 2 weeks a month was the biggest and most intense "laser tag" game you c...

Re: I'm in the Army now!

My best advice is read more than you talk. Check out some post from a user by the name of DUG. His entire enlistment/PT/pipeline journey is listed on this board.

Re: Introduction

Welcome to the site.

Re: Introduction- Matt

Matt, 5 years ago I was in some what of the same position you are now. These Rangers have given you great advise and I hope you take it, unlike some of the others that have come on here talking about joining. I, myself, had 2 years of college when I seriously started thinking about joining the milit...
