Just signed my Military contract


I joined up and on Nov 18 will head out to boot camp. My MOS is 'Scout Calvary' for the Army.

I read the job description and it seemed cool as shit. Required a high QT score, and is one of the most sought after MOS's for Ranger recruiting.

To start out I get trained in scouting on foot. Camoflauge, sniping, recon, long range anti-tank rocketry, and the preliminaries of laser spotting (for air/artillery strikes). I also get trained in light armor as a gunner for a bradley vehicle in a calvary unit. Most of my training will be joint-training with the Marine Corps (Hoo Rah!)

As I get promotions I move more towards command of light armor devisions.

Does anyone have any information on being scout calvary? Im talking to my recruiter next friday about it and im burning up with questions.

Also does anyone know how the stationing works for the Army? My job had the benifit of getting "station of choice" and I picked Europe. Once im done MOS training they send me to the 21st (i believe) in Germany. Once im there how does stationing work? Can I request a station? Are they assigned automatically? Is there any way to insure you get where you want to go?

Thanks

Should be rewritten as such:

Me: SIR! I'm dissapointed by the lack of content SIR! I've been here for 3 weeks and all I've fired is this M16 SIR! When the hell do I get to play with the Prowler or Lightning SIR?!

Excellent! Thank you for joining!

One of my best friends is an Abrams commander stationed out of Germany. He's in Iraq still, but if he get's back before you leave, I'll give him your email addy and you guys can chat about it, and I'm sure he'd give you a ton of tips.

Good luck!

That would be sweet man. Id love to have his email adress. Not only to ask him about base life in Germany (specifically the girls ) but also to ask him about tank command cause thats one of my job specifications once i hit NCO or take OCS.

Canada does have one. Being a Navy vet stationed with VP-93 we often did torp exercises with the canadian version of our P-3 Orion aircraft. Their AirCrews were given a pint of beer if they were out on station for more than 12 hours. We were very jealous of them.
