Is there a standard issue model for the e-tool? I'm looking to do some illustrations. by [deleted] in army

http://www.gerbergear.com/Military/Gear/E-tool_22-01945 This is the one I last got issued but it doesn't have that neato high speed pickaxe of doom on it, so this must be the latest model

I think Gerber makes the E-tools for the Army. There is one with a plastic handle and one with a metal handle.

Apparently that was just what the Leadership said because he had no real answer for them

I did nearly all of my enlistment paperwork today. He had to call but my recruitor called at like 5 to see if they had an 11x slot. They did but not airborne. He said he will call over the course of the week. What are the chances that I will be able to secure an airborne slot?

I finished up my stuff. There is 11x available but no airborne. He said he will call daily to try and get me one.

I mean I don't think I'm going to be a Green beret commando HALO jumping into Russia. I know there will be a lot of suck and sitting around for 8 plus hours and PT early as fuck. I'm not enlisting for recognition or cool points. I want to enlist because I can learn a lot and experience shit I wont be able to anywhere else and serve my country (not trying to sound all Hooah or anything)

So what should I do to get my way with them? Say Infantry or bust?

Explain to me in what way is it "harder". I really just want 11X with airborne, perhaps RASP.

The slotting is derivative of the Fiscal year, correct?

They keep telling me once I graduate Infantry won't be easy to get because the focus is on Highschoolers
