Army

O.K. - I just got the final word on West Point today in the mail, and I'm in. Can any of you old veterans give me some tips about the Point, or the Army in general?

What do you think of that type of career?

Congratulations!!!!

Keep your mouth shut, do your job, never volunteer for anything and learn how to eat really really fast!

I hear West Point turns out good Engineers. Go that way and you should be ok whether you make the Army a career or not.

Again, Congrats Mushimata.

Infantry is the only way to go. Faster rank. Everything else is just support

Yup, Infantry is the way to go!... if you like to mop floors, pick up everyone elses garbage, mow lawns, paint rocks, flip them over, and paint the other side a different color, and deal constantly with NCO's who scored a 37 on the ASVAB and would be the fry guy at McDonalds were they civilians. Not to mention the Officers who sit around the conference table dreaming about 2 click movements that travel 22 miles in a cocentric circle. Oh, and if you die, you better have the decency to do it in dress-right-dress with your boots in high gloss....

HUAH! Follow Me!

God bless the troops that have the intestinal fortitude to put up with all that garbage on a daily basis and still manage to maintian some form of Militiary Bearing and keep us a free nation. These are the true warriors.

Thank you gentlemen.
