Yes and no. Drinking just water doesn't do much to keep you hydrated over time. Yes you need it to survive. But you also need the carbs and electrolytes to get put back in your body through sport drinks

30th AG reception battalion is my literal definition of hell.

Also fort benning is a god damned M.C. Escher painting. You will literally never walk down hill.

Pray to whatever God you want (I suggest all of them) that you don't get randomly selected as a mortar man (11c).

Go to airborne and rasp if you can.

Britbong here, going to my army interview this Wednesday. Anyone know how long the wait is between the interview and selection? I'm currently running 5.5 miles per day with three 30 minute strength sessions per day as well, though I'm still a bit out of shape.

>>675063467
Seeing as how most of Europe doesn't speak English I doubt they say boot, and I've never heard British troops use that word to refer to anything other than footwear.

You fucking army faggots are literally not allowed to talk about how hard you have it in boot camp. You have fucking stress cards to give your drill sergeants if you feel like you need some "me time," and you're allowed to call home like every weekend.

Marine Corps fag here. From what i hear about the Army and their boot camp, EASIEST SHIT YOU WILL EVER DO IN YOUR ENTIRE LIFE. Sad thing is..its probably 100% true.

First of all research so you don't sound like an idiot. Second the Navy is the only branch that has stress cards. I never had phone usage the entire time I went. And I went when they made basic easy

>>675064419
I know nothing about the American training, so what do you guys do in your boot camp and what kind is the rest of the training? For example how long and what type of training an average infantry man is given before he can be shipped to a conflict area?

>>675065164
In the Marine Corps, every single recruit learns to shoot no matter what MOS you have. After three months of the toughest basic training in the United States, you go to your job school, which for me was School of Infantry. That's where you learn how to do your specific job in the infantry like machine guns, mortar, assault, rifleman. Then you go to your unit and have to train with them until the unit is ready to deploy. You get the absolute shit kicked out of you every single day until you deploy and see combat.

There are numerous job titles that fall under "infantry." You can be a machine gunner, or a mortarman, or an assaultman that shoots rockets at shit, or a rifleman that kind of knows how to do a little bit of everything. Machine gunners learn about the 240 and the .50 cal for the most part.

>>
>>675065416
Eh, there are soldiers in the US, who don't know how to shoot?

What's the shit kicking like and do you have exercises away from the from the barracks? For example we were regularly dumped to a forest in the middle of nowhere and trained there for a week at a time. Then a week or two at barracks accommodation and back to the forest.

It sounds odd that the jobs are so specific.

>>
>>675067056
There was just a big article in the Army Times about how many fucking soldiers can't shoot. We don't have that problem in the Marine Corps. That's why the army sucks so much.

But yea, you train constantly when you're not deployed. You're always going out in the field and doing shit.

>>
>>675067246
Here in Finland everyone goes through more or less the same basic training, no matter if you are going to be special forces or a bicycle mechanic. While it may slow down the better rookies, at least everyone knows how to use a rifle. I'd imagine it would come in handy, if things are really starting to fall apart in the field. On the other hand your military is a few magnitudes bigger, so I guess there's no real need for everyone to receive basic combat training.
>>
>>675068175
It might be different in smaller countries, but honestly the military in America is just like any other job. At least where I'm stationed the average service member doesn't really give a shit and is just here to collect a pay check. To be honest I'm kind of the same way.

Here the mentality is a bit different. Military doesn't pay as well as normal civilian jobs and we also have conscription, so it's viewed as a way to survive in case shit hits the fan and Russia throws a tantrum. Morale is relatively high even though not everyone enjoys their service.

Since this is a general military thread, I'll share.

Pic is my old man on Treasure Island in early 1950, a few months after boot in San Diego and Pendleton training. Made it to Private, then Corporal rather quickly. Shipped off to Korea quickly made Sergeant just in time for Chosin.

This was all before I was born of course. He didn't like to talk about actual battle shit very much, but he has endless stories about the Marine Corp. Hard mother fucker (in my case literally).

No idea but you should see some of them on /k/. Some are like religious zealots.

Exactly. Our peacekeepers have similar problems. Less suicides but a lot of depression, alcoholism and sometimes violent behavior. The general opinion seems to be that these first world problems are so minor compared to what other people have to go through that they become angry. One of them made peace with himself by reasoning, that he did his work, so that people here could complain about non-problems and not about real problems.

You're exactly right, man. I'm dealing with it myself. More needs to be done by the military and the government to provide these guys with counseling when they're getting out.

Take care, Anon. I'm going to take a somewhat undeserved first world nap before going to my friends place to study.

I suggest reading "War" by Sebastian Junger. It's about guys from 173rd Airborne in the Korengal Valley and how combat made it almost impossible for them to re-adapt to life back home.

I think the whole thing is that problems back in the US seem so trivial and insignificant compared to problems during combat and deployment that guys' minds just get fucked up.

Thanks. I'll keep that in mind. There's actually a similar book written about Finnish WWII veterans called Murtuneet mielet (Broken minds). That's also on my reading list. The psychological problems weren't dealt with delicacy. From Wikipedia:
>The Finnish attitudes to "war neurosis" were especially tough. Psychiatrist Harry Federley, who was the head of the Military Medicine, considered shell shock as a sign of weak character and lack of moral fibre. His treatment for war neurosis was simple: the patients were to be bullied and harassed until they returned to front line service.

>Earlier, during the Winter War, several Finnish machine gun operators on the Karelian Isthmus theatre became mentally unstable after repelling several unsuccessful Soviet human wave assaults on fortified Finnish positions.
