Especially in the last few weeks when you're done with your training and hage.nothing else to do. Also the drill sergeants getting bugs in their butts and randomly smoking you and everyone else for no reason. Then look at operational infantry where they scrub toilets, mow lawns and sweep the motorpool (on top of monotonously doing connex layouts like so many other soldiers) because they have nothing else to do when they aren't sitting in the woods constantly with baby wipes for their butts because you can't wash your ass. All for a job that you never actually do unless we're at war (and even then modern day wars are so much more than foot soldiers infantry, especially the Vietnam jungle training we still do), and a job that has no civilian translation. Fuck infantry.

And stalking/harassing and poisoning!!!!! Please don't forget that one! Yes here in Orlando, via the dictation from their guy in st. Petersburg, Fl, we have a massive group of SHEEP ex army vets who choose to blindly follow their "master" in who resides in pinellas area in FL. They are ALL X army vets, and all take dictation/orders like true sheep. Why? With orders followed they have unity. Individually most are peons. Now using this unity against potential enemys as in other countrys: ✔️ its a formidable weapon. But using said unity on pne of your own citizens? Recon on one of your own? 👎 I call bullshit. Operation Par employees said leader of this out fit of outlier x army vets. I guess its EASIER, MORE REWARDING go do recon on a non military, untrained, 50 yr old homeless guy their abusing like a beaten horse, eh? Glad y'all got ur ass kicked in nam!

After being a Combat Medic from 1982-85, I went to Infantry School at Harmony Church in Fort Benning in 1985. It was physically tough, but being prior service the physiological stress was not a concern, just respond to orders, and use your head. Myself and another ex-medic would help the trainees with the basic first aid tasks section of training. I got out in 1991, I never regretted my time in service, and will always be proud of my experience and my comrades.

I held the same mentality until a female body builder/fitness guru in my company named Steiner was used by the drill sergeants to humiliate me one day. My arms were so tired I couldn't get the ruck up over my head with my arms extended when commanded to do so, so they got this absolute rock solid (regarding muscle) woman to stand directly in front of me and repeatedly state "I'm better than you. I'm better than you. I'm better than you. I'm better than you. I'm better than you" as she succeeded in doing the task. Throughout the entire cycle, at least the parts that I saw, she dominated. She was only like 5' 3", but consistently competed with the big dogs. She was the second fastest person in the company. Earned the nickname "Mighty Mouse" from the drills because they respected her so much. She *is* better than me. She made it to the end, and I didn't. I sprained my ankle on Gore Frost and when faced with being recycled almost two months in, I chose to go home with the intent to return another time. Finally got home after 16 weeks, and that was over a year ago. I'll respect her with every fiber of my being for as long as I live. Now I seek redemption, and part of me hopes that after I return to claim my blue cord, that someday I'll find a way to talk to her again to let her know how large of an inspiration she was to me.

It is okay to be scared and anxious and use it to finish the training, you will be tired, exhausted, hurting and feel like it is never ending and sometimes you might think that it doesn’t make sense anymore but just keep pushing and do what you’re told, the fastest way to finish the OSUT is to graduate, think like a leader and act like a leader but always remember good leaders doesn’t just give out orders and watch, you do it first proficiently and confidently.

Not everyone is your friend, it's all business, so therefore be careful, NOT EVERYONE IS YOUR FRIEND!!!!, everyone joins the military for different reasons. When in doubt, in regret for joining, remember that don't be suicidal, it's not worth it of being suicidal, it's still just another job because you are getting paid...money is involved, even if you don't like it and yes it's the military and not civilian world, it's still a job, you are still getting paid. You can still quit, just say that you refuse to train, and act upon and be ready for harassment and bullying but you can still get out of basic training if you regret the MOS and don't wanna continue, you will get general discharged.

Everything you need to know is in Forrest Gump. Do whatever the drill sergeant tells you to do and take care of your feet. Take extra socks to the field in ziploc baggies, keep your feet dry. Use Dr. Scholl's foot and body powders. Other than that, if its in summer, freeball it (no underwear) and don't be that guy.

And speaking of baby....you can't spell infantry without infant. People in the army in general (to a much greater degree than navy and air force) get treated like little retarded children and it will be even worse with 11b. So you got the baby right.

Question. I’m wanting to be a infantry solider after basic. Do you have to do airborne? I’m not the biggest fan of heights but can deal with them if needed I just wanna be a field Infantry

[@BlossomField91]

No, you definitely don't have to Airborne.

[@Legomaster0001]

No but If you are going infantry route i would get a school contract to airborne school its the easiest baby school the army has but airborne infantry is just a light unit they still practice jumps but i doubt it will be used in combat all infantry dedicates to train in the field too it dosent matter whether you are in a mech or light unit you will do the same shit

[@6706lefteye]

A ton of Airborne soldiers are afraid of heights. I'm deathly afraid of heights, but somehow helicopters weren't bad at all. If you get Fort Campbell in your contract, you can do Air Assault School. Beats jumping out of a plane. You just have to worry about all the crashes.

[@limbogt747]

​@6706lefteye I thought the marines had the shitty helicopters

[@djbenzo]

I don’t understand. Are infantries like Marines?

[@BlossomField91]

Infantry means ground troops who fight on foot. With rifles, machine guns, etc. Both the Army and Marine Corps have infantry, and no not every Marine is an infantryman. The difference is that, at least in doctrine, all Marine infantry is geared towards amphibious warfare, while the Army have Air Assault (helicopter), Airborne (paratrooper), mechanized, etc infantry. They also have slightly different unit structures. There are more men in a USMC infantry squad than an Army one. In practice they're about 95% the same and in most wars, they're doing the same shit. Just in a different uniform. Also in reality, the Army can absolutely do amphibious assaults (they did plenty of it in WW2, most notably Normandy), and the Marines can do air assaults.

Have to feel sad for the good kids who just wanted the real experience instead of this kindergarten experience. But that’s on senior leadership who sold them out to score political points. Our present day military is not ready for the reality of war.

Was in bravo 2-54 graduated December 16th 2016 that wasn’t too long ago and stuff looks way different. There were no women. And we didn’t have a 100 yard run or whatever that was we had a shark attack that was much more intense. Drill sergeant’s name was butcher and he was way scarier than these guys
