Graduated Army BCT 21 March 2002. Now at AIT, graduate 3 May 2002, then on to Jump School at Ft. Benning. That means the first chance I'll have to play will be 7 June.

Go Army!

They let you take breaks now in between Basic and AIT?

Sheesh!

:)

I went straight through in 89, 3+ months of pure fun (plus the 2 week school afterwards) at lovely Ft. Benning Georgia.

:D

Jon-boy! Great to hear you doing OK! I'm proud of you Soldier!

Be sure to tell us what your PDA will be(korea), and where(korea). Maybe you'll get your dreamsheet choice(korea) and wind up in (korea)Hawaii!

Remember, you only get out of the Army what you are willing to give to it. Do all you can do, do it well, make no excuses, remain honest.

HOOAH!

And, to add to Army's comment, do it while you're young. Dont wait till 30 to decide to be hardcore...the body doesnt heal well (if at all). Good luck to you! As far as the Korea jokes go, dont believe them. You will get what you want on your dreamsheet...psyche! Enjoy korea, and get the cheap nikes!

Just make sure that you at least get the "Soju Experience" one time; maybe for your green bean... :D

Thanks for the welcome back...
cphilip- I don't have a weekend pass until 20 April, and my wife is coming that weekend, but that next weekend i might be able to get away to play! Let me know.
whoever asked about break between basic & ait... nope, graduated 21 march started ait 25 march, then straight to benning for jump school.
Army... thanks for all your help 4-5 months ago.
In response to all of your comments about Korea- I have three words for you- GUARANTEED DUTY STATION! Ft. Bragg, NC is my destination after Jump School. Then who knows, Afghanistan, Kuwait, Saudi?
Thanks again, guys.

So where are you now? You in South Carolina?

Oh and "Guaranteed" does not mean the same thing in the Military. It means "this is the latest lie we will tell you". :D

I will keep you informed of our play dates. Pick you up some cheap paint too.

well, guaranteed means it's in my contract, so I'm there (Ft. Bragg) for at least a year...
I'm at Ft. Jackson, SC through May 9.
I'll have an off post pass April 27-28, so if you are going to play that weekend, let me know.
Obviously, no marker though:(

OK I will see if we can get a date together during that weekend. I'll have to look the calender up for the students and all and make sure its not Exam week or something. Plus we are weather dependedt to some degree. No problem about the marker. I will let you use my Emag Soldier! And we always have plenty of Markers around.
