hey Sup Forums im thinking about deploying in the US Army as an infantryman. im 19 and im physically weak as shit. any advice or tips that i should know going in?

The army has been getting worse and worse since they've allowed faggots like OP to join

Prepare your body and mind to die for Israel, goy.

You made a serious mistake, and will more than likely not do anything except stand around and do menial tasks like literally shoveling shit.

What the fuck did you score on the ASVAB to choose that, of all jobs?

You'll never pass PT. Work on your stamina and strength for a year. Then join if you're not a faggot.

Don't join just to be infantry, that's a good way to throw your life away. Make the Army teach you a skill you can use once discharged. If you're going to be pissing away 4+ years of your life you might as well get something out of it.

what would you suggest i enlist as?

Germans that died for their own country >>>>>>>>> every other soldier of a onu member country dying for the jews

0811 here (field artillery cannoneer) (marines) got back from Iraq last summer took rpg fire that blew up our howitzer and had one of my staff sergeants die. I'll tell you this combat mos's are not for the feint of heart, hazing assault booze and some of the craziest people you've ever met. But if you're a weak fuck physically you won't make it in the infantry, I deployed to afghan as provisional infantry is 2012 and I'll tell you first hand if you're weak physically you're mentally weak too and that shit will not fly in country, if you do join it'll fucking suck more than anything you've ever done but that just means you should improve to meet your goals

Literally anything that requires something greater than a 3rd grader's education! Become an engineer, Mech, or better yet, an armor crewman. If you're smart, get into the AF or the Navy, I swear you'll have a better time becoming a Nuke than anything the Army will have you doing

>deploying
Yeah as vet, i can only say dont say dumb shit like that ever again.
Also
>pushups
>situps
>and plenty of juice

dont you mean enlisting

Were you doing counterbattery with a CROWS, or actually shooting at on call targets?

Fuck I mean boomerang, not a CROWS, sometimes forget ground forces tech

Can confirm. Everything revolves around them

We were shooting for the Iraqi army in fire base bell we set the fob up and shot Xcal's we took several small arms fire from Isis and 2/6 was there with us for security while we shot, only people who knew we were there were the pentagon but somehow we took rpg Fire. We got replaced by some army battery who couldn't even lay their battery and moves slow as fuck. I remember my CO chewing their CO's ass drill instructor style because he took off his Kevlar outside the wire. Good times but rest in peace ssgt Louis Cardin

big army is full of cucks

only army special operations accomplishes anything

i was told join the army if you want to walk around and wait to get shot at

Get stronger and run

Well, whoever told you that aren't entirely wrong, since the army is generally utilized, on a macro scale, as an occupational force while the Marines kick ass on the front lines

I didn't have such a bad expirence with the army in afghan, some army units are fucking on their shit, some are god awful. In no way am I trying to brag but that's the difference in marine corps COMBAT mos's and army COMBAT mos's, Every grunt, tracker, artillery men, and tanker are fucking out of their minds (me included) if we didn't have ROE's Afghanistan would be a field of grass from all the blood making the grass grow. Thai ain't me knocking the army, like I said I met some really good army units and I've met some incredibly bad ones it just depends with the army. But the marine corps isn't like that they treat us like shit too much that we want to kill everything

With that being said I'll still take the BOOTEST army soldier over a fucking sailor (excluding green side corpsmen and seals) or airmen. The faggotry in the navy and Air Force makes me cringe.

If you score high enough join the Air Force and go into a job that can transfer well into a civilian career. AF computer programmer here. Everyone in my field leaves after their first enlistment and get contracting jobs starting at around $80k because they got their BA while in, 4-6 years OJT, and had TS clearance.

He wants to be a grunt not a fucking coder, don't encourage him to be a giant pussyy

Don't join the military you retard. Unless you want to die for stupid reasons

Maybe he's cut out to be something more than disposable trash which is all grunts are. I'd hate to see someone throw their lives away to be infantry when they can be something better.

i want to die for stupid reasons. let me join the fucking military

ive changeed my mind on the infantry thing. everyone says it sucks. would the marines be more my route?

Hey, don't forget the crazy fuckers like me that make the amazing decision to spend 4-6 months under the sea doing nothing but maintaining a nuclear power plant hoping to god that one of these days I don't get crushed like a can of spaghetti-o's

Don't

>would marines be more my route
Motherfucker the marines are generally worse.

You will be, as a corpsman, ON THE FRONT LINES of everything. It WILL be more demanding.

"Lol look at that giant pussy learning and making the same pay as me even though he's not getting shot at and will make way more than me as soon as he gets out"

If you're looking to bulk up I suggest to look up Navathebeast on YouTube he's a marine and he posts a lot of his lifts and schedules you could use for example

I'll tell you what, you will never be as close and have a bond that I have with the marines I've deployed with as a fucking coder, I've seen their girlfriends wives cheat on them, I've put tourniquets on legs and arms I've been covered in my friends blood I've smoked one cigarette between five guys after a fire fight, I've seen grown ass men who can't hack it on country, at night I sleep fine because I know I made a difference I didn't sit behind a computer doing a bunch of bullshit, you'll never understand this bond because you decided you wanted to be a fucking pussy

No that would be the worst choice. Study hard for the ASVAB and try to get into the Air Force or Navy.

I don't give a fuck about having a fucking bond with a bunch of uneducated trash good for nothing more than shooting people. I give a fuck about learning a useful skill so that when I get out I can make good money. Keep your bond it's of no value to me.

You say that until you're sitting far away from mommy and daddy with no one for support but the people around you that's when the bonds are made

Well you'll defiantly see combat, and hazing and assault and all that good trash. You'll be one cocky son of a bitch, a fucking alpha not some beta programmer fucking boot. And it will suck major cock but at the end of the day you can go look some anti war faggots girlfriend in the face and steal his bitch

>studying for the ASVAB

Dude you can score a 90+ with a middle schooler's education. You shouldn't need to study for any tests like the ASVAB

I see the confusion. You're under the impression that I am so emotionally stunted that I need to rely on others for support. Not everyone is like you.

I'm more or less in the same boat as OP. I just want to have an experience i cant get in civilian life. I got a 96 on the ASVAB so I can pretty much do anything.

Assuming infantry is too bad of an idea to do (I'd still like to do it, idgaf about politics), I would want to do some IT stuff. What MOS would you suggest doing that also does well once i finish my contract. Assume all MOS's are available, bc they are to me.

Nuke for the Navy is a pretty needed job ATM. Might want to check that out

At night I also sleep fine because in the military I work 5 days a week and have off on holidays because I'm a coder. I regularly get a full 8 hours. Enjoy those bonds though pal.

Unless you're some tard with no brain between his ears you're gonna feel it when you watch the only people you know in a godforsaken desert dying you're gonna wish you had it or those 4 years are gonna be slower than grandpa on Valentine's Day

I chose the army bc my bachelor's gets me an E4 and that's the highest of all the branches, positionwise. How's 25B (IT specialist) in the army? It seems pretty transferable, being as you seem to just maintain IT systems.

Have fun in Syria, faggot.

>Unless you're some tard with no brain between his ears
I have a brain between my ears, that's why I didn't go infantry.

If you have a degree be an officer.

I have a brain and am not retarded. That's why I'm a programmer.

I looked at the process to do that, but my college GPA sucked dick, and I don't really have that many reference. I'd like to just do one contract then become an officer if possible, so I don't go straight into pen pushing.

OP if you're not physically fit then you'll struggle during PT.

Can you do 44 push ups in a minute?
Can you do 46 sit ups in a minute?
Can you run 1.5 miles in 13 minutes?

These are the minimum physical requirements for Air Force PT test. I'm showing the Air Force example because this branch is the least concerned on physical strength; they focus more on how intellectual you are.

I'm in the process of joining the Air Force. Haven't gone to MEPS yet, need to clear up a bunch of other bull shit with my military recruiter. I've been physically training myself for about 3 months now but can only do 31 push ups per minute, 42 sit ups per minute and run 1.2 mile per 13 minutes.

TL;DR Get yourself physically and mentally prepared, it's not going to be easy in any branch. Although Air Force is the most civilized branch.

Why do you need people to support you? Aren't you man enough to stand on your own?

Physically weak=mentally weak. Work out or you'll be fucked in basic, you already have enough on your plate, physical agility is the last thing you need to worry about, especially in infantry.

If you want to serve your country pick an MOS that you can excel at

Army infantry doesn't help you once your out. The only real jobs you'll get afterwards is working for the government, doing contract jobs, or private security, depending how fucked up you are afterwards.

Local police departments aren't even looking for combat specific resumes because they pose too much of a liability for the city now.


There's currently a huge influx of recruiting to fill the spaces, so I'd definitely check out other jobs that interest you.

Don't be that dude that says his only accomplishment is joining the infantry.

>t. Military Police 31B

>Military Police 31B
How much do you hate your life?

Expect a lot of drugs. I was out of my mind on coke for the whole 5 months I was in Iraq. Spent half of my time chainsmoking with columbine-tier teenagers and the other half patrolling sand. Only got in a couple engagements, nothing major except a buddy got half his nose blown off by nade shrapnel

Yeah: Don't. FUCKING DON'T.

If you want to serve corporate interests for college money that badly, join the Air Force or Navy.

That's a great idea what a good goy, yes yes enlist goyim

He secretly wants to shoot people so he went infantry because it looks fun and exciting in the movies and vidya

Enough to not respond to domestics on base because I only have another month left at this shithole and I don't want to get stabbed to death by a roided staff sergeant with a severe case of ptsd

I count down my days by drinking a beer each morning after duty and collecting beer bottles, after I transition out I'm going to dump all the glass bottles on the NCOs shitty cummins dodge.

t. fat retard that jerks to loli and considers stepping into daylight to buy more doritos a hostile environment

>join the army
>do PT everyday
>get strong

Always capitalize SEAL.

Join a gym and USE IT for a year then go to a recruiter and get the ball rolling...you're time in boot will be that much easier.

if you want to go infantry join the marines. same shit but better toys (ish)
if you don't care about mos then join and try to do anything but infantry. that way you can get a job after getting out.

>Deploying

BITCH YOU WONT BE DEPLOYING JUST BY JOINING.

Anyways im in the marines, ask away

Nah Army has much better toys. Im in the Marines and we get all their hand me downs. Army=much better funding. America doesnt need Marines, the only reason we exist is because America wants them.

Doing a physically demanding job without being in good shape will suck for you and hinder others. Fortunately those got kicked out fast, when I served.

Join the fucking Air Force.
All of the benefits of being in the military without any of the hard work.

Navy is by far the bigger joke. Basic grease monkey knowledge and being able to swim is about all it takes to do the menial tasks, stationed in a sub for 6 month periods, or staring at a screen half the day.

But suppose most of the air force is just mechanic work also..

Fucking gotta be nice to the troops now. No more "why are we punching you? oh you didn't listen to the first, he wanted to say hi" here's an ass beat'n an art15 and learn to listen when he stomps his foot fucktard.

19kilo detected

Air traffic control chair force get out and make 6figures starting wage civilian market.

Rofl fucking magical getm

You're a total rube to give years of your live away, possibly dying, to make this asshole's net worth improve.

can i take that test and see what I get and if I get a good score do some cool job?

Don't rape
Don't get raped
Praise kek

How much will they pay you as an infantryman?

Me? If I was told I might have to kill people and people might try to kill me, I would settle for nothing less than a salary of 50 million dollars. And even then I'd be very fucking reluctant to go. They'd have to force me. I wouldn't VOLUNTEER to do it. There are other jobs out there for you that will probably pay just as well if not better, and are less likely to kill you.

Just my opinion.

You get paid based on rank, not job.

Does the salary start out at $50 million?

Know that your an insufferable faggot, Godspeed

fucking jew kebabs, and their mindless, soulles goy servants, kys.

>know how to swim

Do you have any idea how many niggers the Navy let's in who can swim? They drop to the bottom of the pools like cinder blocks, I've seen it.

Whatever branch you join, get a skill that's is in high demand in the civilian world. Air force Mq-9 reaper (drone) mechanic here. I also get to deploy, (4 months)which is awesome.
