Basic Training
Posted
Greetings,

I've wanted to be Army infantry ever since I was a kid and now that I am coming up on military age I've got a few worries.

Lately I have been hearing this liberal bullschit about "being nice to the troops" and all this other pu$$y French-like garbage.

If I go infantry, I fully expect the Full Metal Jacket treatment in basic/AIT. I don't want to go to war with a bunch of fat undisciplined ****heads. I want tough hell-like training like Grunts got in the Vietnam era. It's not real basic training if you're not getting screamed at, doing endless pushups and running, lugging around heavy-a$$ packs, and getting wall-to-wall counseling when you screw up. The more we sweat in peace the less we bleed in war.

I hope infantry is not going the tree-hugger pansy way like much of the rest of the military.

Sorry for the wannabe intrusion.

Get your cord and then you can make your comments on what Infantry training should be.

You should stay a wannabe civilian so you can run your mouth all day long, because it looks like you do that well.

Do you get your choice of MOS guaranteed in the Marines?

I'd laugh my turds out if this rambo movie watcher ended up slinging hash or fixing broken trucks.

My advice for this kid would to be stop watching rambo movies and work on his PT and discipline.

Troll, how do you know what training 'Nam era Grunts went through?

You ain't a kid looking to enlist, you're some troll looking to stir s.h.i.t up.

Nah the Infantry is real easy; you wake up everyday to the sounds of birds chirping as your personal trainer helps you warm up with few stretches before you do a few exercises so that you are hungry for your continental breakfast and starbucks coffee. You then shower and shave while reading the Wall Street times making sure your stock portfolio is up to snuff then you saunter on down to first formation at around 9-ish where you are told what you will be doing for the day usually a few classes on how to be considerate to others and maybe a class on how to wear your uniform. Then you are off to lunch that is prepared by the finest cooks the US Govt can hire while chatting it up with your buds at those comfortable tables with the waiter that fills your juice/soda glass before its empty.
Around 1-ish you have another pesky formation to make sure that you digested you meal correctly and to insure that you didn't fall asleep from that rich food and slobber on your bedspread, from there you go to the PX to look a the latest X-box or game cube games while strolling around with your hands in your pocket. Around 5-ish you have your final formation so that you know that your kindly 1SG loves you. Then it’s a night of hitting the Bars and beautiful women. Around 11pm your squad leader check in on you to make sure that you have brushed your teeth and reads you a Bed time story from FM 7-8 (Infantryman’s Bible) once you fall asleep he tucks you in and gives you a kiss on your forehead as he turns off your light and whispers sleep tight and don’t let the bed bugs bite!

Go in with that attitude and you'll get your wish. The NCOs will smoke your balls off and we'll all laugh at you everyday.

That's pretty funny. You do know the movie is fiction. The book the movie Full Metal Jacket was based on, was written by a guy who didn't complete Marine Boot Camp.
