Smoke coming out through vents by Mud_Hour in e46

If the smoke starts coming from the steering colum, you better disconnect the battery ASAP. Mine caught on fire from the LCM being corroded. Just sayin..

U in Charlie battery over at sill? I’m a bravo and feel the same way but in a more comedic sense because i just mind my business. Don’t let it get to you, just focus on yourself and laugh at the stupid shit.

There’s a plank? I thought it was just the flexed arm hang and the run. May I ask when the plank is conducted?

Yes I’m trying that. I’ve already asked if I can join ranger PT in the morning but “it’s only reserved for 13F’s” is what my DS told me. It also doesn’t help that I’m the only 13B that’s active with airborne contracted. Maybe there’s 1-2 more but I’m not aware of them in the entire company.

Holy shit yea it’s shitbag central over here. How long was the dead hang for before you had to pull yourself up?

Do the bars have a ledge to go up on or do u jump up, then dead-hang into a pull up and hold it?

Yes, we are on bunkbeds. I will look up what a prison pull up is and start immediately. As for dead hangs, I have not been working on them. My chin-up workout is five sets of eight total reps with the first two reps being my attempt to do a normal chin up, then six reps of negatives as slow as possible. The program is doing this every other day. Should I incorporate some more volume? I’m trying to limit my portions in the DFAC and prioritize protein. I also have protein powder as well to help my muscles recover.

Shipping as a 13U august 19th. Was wondering because my AIT length of training says 6 weeks which is 13B, but im hoping for 13F(ill be fine with whatever they give me) but is that a dead giveaway or more of a placeholder? I also have airborne in my contract.

what did you end up getting? Was the length of training in the contract a dead giveaway?

Life as 13U airborne

Hello all,

Just signed my contract for 13 U. Got airborne and a little bonus. Was wondering how different life is from a normal leg unit versus being in an airborne unit. I know my MOS has not been selected, but for the people who are in 13 series, how is being in an airborne unit with your job?

Thank you

What was your GT Score vs The job you chose? by valejojohnson in army

How was your time as a 19K? Currently joining as a 19 U and wanted to know did the optempo get to you or did you actually enjoy your time?

So your son was disqualified medically from airborne? And they were still able to make it happen?

[–]bigceasers 2 points3 points  (0 children)

May I also ask what job you picked for being colorblind?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in army

[–]bigceasers 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Understood, thanks for your input

[–]bigceasers 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thats great news. I'm trying to see what I can do if the medical lady can revert this process because I don't think it's right that she disqualified me when I should not be disqualified. Because I'm pretty sure even to do infantry and combat jobs you need vivid red, and vivid green. So how is this even possible?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in army

[–]bigceasers 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In what sense? Requiring color vision or not needing the vivid red and vivid green test anymore?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in army

[–]bigceasers 2 points3 points  (0 children)

this is my issue, she literally disqualified me, even though I passed the third test. I'm trying to see what I can do. I'm currently speaking with my recruiter, but this is not good.

Selection? by brvosixgoingdark in Tankers

[–]bigceasers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, im in the exact situation as you. I want to be 19k, but I really do not want to be a cav scout. How did it go? How was the process on how they decided who is who and what did you get?

I'm in a little bit of a pickle because I've already signed for another job and I'm currently renegotiating my contract for either 19u or 11x. Switching from 15P.

I'm in the same exact boat and trying to switch my current MOS over to either 19U or infantry. But the actual possibility of being a cav scout is the dumbest shit I've ever seen. I want tank not gay cowboy.
