I joined the Army

[NaShay]

Yeah it's exciting. I turn 18 in a few days and right now i'm training with my recruiter to get my mind and body ready for Basic Combat Training. Although I won't leave for boot camp for another 2-3 months. I'm excited/nervous.

 

[Balko]

That's cool. My friend is in advanced training to be able to use patriot missiles. Do you have an area of specialty you're thinking of?

 

[NaShay]

Not too sure. I do know that maybe I want to do something in computers. But I don't really have an idea.

Good luck and God bless NaShay...it is like nothing you have ever experienced...try not to take it too personally...just focus and keep going and pray at night it will help...Boot camp is hard for a reason...the training has a purpose...it is to keep you alive so always listen to your drill instructor and pay attention.

 

[NaShay]

Thanks! Yeah - i'm really scared about boot camp. I'm a back talker so I really need to work on that and other things. But I can't wait. Even though i'm scared I wonna hurry up and go - get it over with.

 

[mae300]

Just let them yell...it is their job to get you ready and remember...if you back talk it means that much more work for you and others...better to keep quiet...or they will break you down trust me.

Well, you're doing an honorable thing by serving our country, so that makes you a respectable person.

Welcome to the party. Make sure you bring some chips!!

btw, I'm in right now and over in Iraq. Its not too bad of a job. In fact, I work around computers quite a bit. Communications, so its different, but there are plenty of jobs you could do involving computers. Feel free to ask me and I can give you an actual account (no offense to recruiters!) Any advice will freely flow from this soldiers mouth!

 

[NaShay]

Bro, you can't just join the Army and not know your specialty is going to be, what is your MOS? that is in your contract if you know you are leaving for BCT. Welcome to the Army, you will get a lot of nonsense but at the end, it is good to be a part of the Army. I love it, sometimes I hate it.
