Hey Pappy what rank are you and when did you graduate AIT?

**Pappy** · 08-16-07, 01:49 PM

SPC, although I'm going to the board when I get back from leave

I'm hearing though that Benning is about to impose a rule that you can't ride on post for your first year of riding to curtail these emotion driven purchases.

As for me:
Active Army Infantry
A Co 1/15 INF, 3BCT 3ID

Neuthunder, I read that you're finishing AIT in December. What MOS are you going for? Also, did you attend Northeastern? That's where I went.

I'm gonna be reserves and as of right now I'm gonna be a 68W with the 399th CSH... hopefully get the M6 soon after, Yes I'm at NU i'll be graduating in May, when did you finish up here?

o ok yeah im a SPC too, combat boards are the shit only because I hate wearing my class As...I wont be going to the board till January though should be interesting. I made my SPC in 18 months coming in as a PVT so I need to get the time and grade before I will get reccomended oh well more time to sham haha.

Hey Neuthunder, I graduated May 06. Best of luck with the medical training.

DaSpence, going to the board as soon as you get back? Ha, that's some bad timing. Good luck though. So far all of our combat boards have been a walk in and walk out variety. One SGT, the only question he got was "How much do you bench?"

Your getting that because I quit the forum. Bunch of punk squids on there. you are warned.

Pappy, I hope you are doing what you can to mentor those guys so they won't make a poor decision .

Maybe start a MMP. I can help.

**DaSarge** · 08-16-07, 02:05 PM

My boots hit ground stateside on Halloween and I wont go to the board till January so I'll I have some time to chill and read up on the bullshit but yeah I wish I was doing a combat board too fucking easy...One of our SGTs only question was 'when is the armys birthday' and he said sometime in the spring and he still passed the fucking board....Couldnt believe it.

Heh, I've given up on most of them. Hell, half of them are NCOs anyway. Though I have gotten a couple in my platoon to look at SV650s or used 600s.

Hahaha. Our NBC Sergeant went a couple months ago and they asked him how long you have to don your pro-mask.... he said 40 seconds!

Yeah, he didn't get any points for the board but they still approved him for promotion! That one was one I didn't agree with but oh well.

Stay safe Tim Tim. How are things over there? Do you need anything?

Doc,

Things are going well around here, its not a bad place to be. Balad is the most accomodating base however we will be working at smaller FOBs and Combat Outposts in the next couple months. Weve actually just had the lowest number of IED explosions/month in the last 3 years. Our battalion has some excellent route clearance teams which do a heck of a job. The occasional tracer rounds fly overhead and kids throw rocks at the windows but other than that, so far so good. I have a very supportive network back home which keeps me fully stocked with goodies and magazines, but thanks for asking.

Tim
