don't join the infantry unless you plan on doing 20 years, and if you say your doing 20 years then think about this. All the things you'll miss, kids being born, seeing family, birthdays, graduations ETC. Also think about your knees after 20 years of running and your back 20 years after rucking. The army's a great place to be, but I would look into something that will set u up on the outside. Air traffic controllers, Intelligence, anything medical will guarantee you high paying jobs on the outside. I wanted to be a combat engineer and some unfortunate things happened to me that caused me to pick something else and im glad I did. My AIT time helps with credits in my degree and I have a very promising future in the civilian sector. Sadly being trained to kill the enemy doesn't translate very well to the civilian sector. Obviously do whatever your heart desires, but try your best to look at things from a realistic perspective. I know it can be hard when your young, patriotic and full of testosterone lol. Also don't get tricked into thinking only combat MOS deploy, I just left Korea 3 months ago after being there for a year and im currently being quartined in Kuwait awaiting transit to Afghanistan. Im only typing this out A) I literally have nothing to do in Kuwait and I may be going crazy B) I know a lot of infantry men who joined thinking they were going to do all the bad ass shit in the commercials but instead spent their entire contract stateside cleaning shit. Your job is to the fight the enemy, if theres no enemy to fight then....plus were pulling out of Afghanistan so there's really no one to fight. Regardless army is a great place to be. At least over here you wont be eating crayons, wearing eye pro at night and walking around with your invisible lats showing.

@@dalastmag1929 Not everybody joins the military to get a job, that will set them up for a good paycheck in the civillian world. Some people join the army infantry for the experience. I have been a mortarman for around 2 years now and I have no regrets. When I leave the army, I plan on becoming a police officer. Having military experience including combat arms is nice to put on your resumé if you want to be a cop. Besides I could still go to college, get an education and get a nice paying job if that's what I want.

Your absolutely correct, solely speaking off facts not many people do 20 and not many get into police work or security jobs after. I would agree infantrymen can have some experiences no other MOSs can have. I think a lot of people kinda get tricked into infantry based on the army commercials and the stigma around it. Obviously that doesnt apply to everyone, im just saying closely evaluate the reasons why you want to be infantry. If your reasoning is you want the title infantrymen because the ego that goes with it than yaaaa probably not the best choice. I initially wanted a combat MOSs because of the how badass military dudes are in movies,commercials and video games. When in reality im defiantly more beneficial to our country with my brain then my body. All im saying is deeply consider your reasons were all guilty of making decisions based of emotions.

Good seeing you guys taking fitness serious. And I know that there are plenty of Marines who only work out if there's scheduled PT. Other than that they can care less about physical fitness.

@stop736

Ай бұрын

You’re right about that! Some people don’t PT at all unless it’s mandatory. One thing I always appreciated was that being in the infantry with 1st Marines, you had to work out regularly or you’d never be able to keep up with everyone else in your platoon or company. The gym at Camp Horno wasn’t great or anything, but it was always packed. If one of the guys in your platoon or fire team sees you not putting out the effort you should, they’d call you out on it. Definitely. I was glad to see that almost everyone took their conditioning seriously in the infantry. Same with our PFT. Most units will accept a 225 PFT (minimum 1st class score). But for us, if you’re below 280 even, you’re going to be ordered to PT during chow to get that score up. Sure guys scored even lower sometimes. But their life had to hell from all the crap they’d get from the SNCO’s.

Cara, minha rotina foi semelhante aqui no Brasil... No ano de 2019 eu servi no centro de preparação de oficiais da reserva do exército brasileiro, aqui na cidade de Recife - Pernambuco - Brasil. Acordar cedo, ir de transporte coletivo, se apresentar ao comando, ir pro treino físico e depois receber aulas sobre assuntos do meu curso (Que era cavalaria). Muito bom o vídeo cara, meus parabéns!!!
