Sorry I've been away for a while now I am now a member of the Army National Guard!

13F
Fire Support Specialist

Oh my gosh where do I even begin to explain drill weekend... Well when you get there on the second day everyone is in formation then you run half a mile full sprint to where there are multiple Sergeants that look over your hair, nails, shave and more importantly your uniform. If you screw up you better expect those Sergeants in your face screaming at you whole you do push ups and various exercises until you feel like you can't go anymore but somehow you find a way to do it. Then if one person screws up you have to do it aswell with them I did since someone didn't stand right when saluting the flag and we were smoked for 30 minutes as my Sergeant screamed at me along with the rest of my Platoon and said we are ---- ---- ------- don't respect the ----- flag while many people ------ died for it. But two whole days of that made me feel proud of my decision. I am very excited to start my soldier and specialist training.

The drill is meant to be harder and more strict than basic training since they are preparing you for the real deal. Being a Fire Support Specialist I have a high potential of being deployed I heard from some of the Gold Phase Soldiers. Quite a fun experience and it made me proud have the freedom I have and knowing that I will fight for it makes me feel great and gives me that sense of belonging. I had to score a 96 out of 99 on my Technical section of the AVAB to get the job I have in the military which is called your MOS. Thank you I-doser! Because I condition and listened to Brain+ I scored very high and I thank you very much.

So I won't be on the forums for 22 weeks starting on February 2th and that will last for over five months but when I get the chance to I will listen to mobile doses via my phone during AIT. That would be my special training for my job and I am very excited. Thank you again guys it has been very fun dosing with you and sharing experiences as well as awesome conversations. I won't be plating Battlefield on my PC but now on the Battlefield :D.

Sorry nobody replied. I really respect your decision to join the military. I do not say any branch is better that any other, because they all serve the same great country. Props to you
