Great video!! Love the song!! Ohh and 4:01 I'm famous

Nice Video!

pretty sure its fake but if it is i am armed to the teeth!

Well the movie is based on a sniper named Chris Kyle and not to long ago he was murdered by a soldier that had ptsd at a gun range.

I really wanna see this but i read the actual article... Cooper says this movie is important because of "Gun control". i swear to god if this becomes anti-gun propaganda, i will piss on Bradley Coopers face!! Thoughts on the trailer?

Yes that's what my recruite told me so I have done a lot of digging into these MOS. I'll also go in as a higher rank because of my time spent in ROTC so that's a few hundred bucks in my pocket.

So today I took my ASVAB the only parts i found a little challenging was the Arithmetic reasoning and the auto and shop. I dont know shit about cars and tools :'(. Other than that I feel I did well. I have to wait two weeks for the results since I did not take the test at MEPS. Here goes the longest two weeks of my life!

LOL now i see it... I was in Navy rotc for 3 years i finished off as a chief petty officer (E-7) but ehh im not down for the whole boat thing

What did i just watch....

What was your mos?

I also considered the marines but I think the army has more entry level jobs to offer me

He actually did mention infantry and I will have to admit I was quite interested but im still unsure. Im gonna take my AVAB tomorrow and we will see what happens!

So today I talked to a recruiter and it went very well im going to take the ASVAB Wednesday or Thursday

You know why you hear negative things? its because they are a bunch of P.O.Gs. I'll admit it. Us infantrymen have a pride that others simply don't have, and cannot understand. In turn we are assholes(mostly) and flaunt that pride.(Proud of it too) Point system. IS F***ING stupid. While it does show the the soldier is showing initiative by getting as many points as possible. It DOES NOT reflect the leadership skills that he has. For example: We have (had) a Sgt. in my company who had a sh*tstorm of points (college gives a lot of points) but was an absolute terrible leader he got promoted over a guy that was MUCH MUCH more deserving. but didn't have the points to get it before the other. That was 4 years ago. Now that same Sgt. is in jail. For murder. Hacked up his sugar momma (she was in her 40s while he was in his mid 20s) with a machete. Oh and fyi its only harder to get promoted because there aren't as many spots. NOT because it takes more points. Thanks for the info!! That's why I started this topic to get people's insights. I still have a lot of thinking to do before I make my final decision. I am going to talk to a recruiter tomorrow!

Thanks for the advice!! That's why I've been on an ELOA I've been studying and stuff.

I was considering infantry but I heard a lot of negative things about it. It does meet the criteria of things I want to do. If I get deployed I want to be out on the field not stuck at the base all day which is what infantry can offer me. I heard there is a point system in the army to get promoted and the infantry requires more points than any other mos. Can you shed some light on this?

Hey all I know I'm on an ELOA but this topic pertains to the reason I took an ELOA. As some of you know today is my birthday and I finally am turning17!!!!! I am now old enough to enlist in the army(with a parental signature of course) it is something I have been wanting to do for a really long time. I have thought about it for a while now and I have considered the risk and I really want to do this. I have done some research on some mos that the army offers and I have narrowed it down to four that I am very interested in. 1. EOD ( Explosive Ordinance Disposal) basically the bomb squad of the army. 2. Combat medic/ Healthcare Specialist 3. Military Police 4. Calvary Scout I wanted to know if anybody in this unit has any experience with these jobs and if so can you share your experience with me! PS: I'm also going to go into the airborne! Hopefully 101st screaming eagles!!!!!

I actually shared this with a few unit members who were had served in th military to gather their thoughts on the video. I think they should have reported this dude or called the cops

Amen to that

Today I am sad to inform you guys that the war in Afghanistan has claimed yet another American life. Today Major General Harold Greene was killed by small arms fire in an attack. I'm not sure where to put this but I don't want this topic to turn into a political debate. I just wanted to show some respect and I know other members would like to pay respect to the fallen. Gone but not forgotten may he rest in peace. *Salute* Here is a link to the full story: http://www.cnn.com/2014/08/05/us/afghanistan-general-greene/

Happy Birthday buddy!!

Yes their location could also be a big issue. Another thing that you can try is if you are using wireless internet try switching to a wired connection. You could also try contacting your ISP to see if there is anything they can do on their part

1.5 mbps is not very fast internet for starters so this most likely the cause of the problem. If anyone else in his household is using the internet at the same time he is this can cause a high ping jump. If his computer is running any background programs such as ventrilo or utorrent this will also slow down his speed or increase ping. I know Sgt. Downs sometimes had to leave ventrilo when he is playing on the pub because his ping rises because he has slow internet (no offense buddy . Is he running any background programs? If so which ones? Are there multiple people using his connection when he is playing? His best bet is to get a better internet package through his ISP I'd that is an option. If not there are other steps we can take. Also about the over heating of his modem here are a few things you can do about that. 1. If the modem is on the floor put it on top of something like a book especially if you have carpet!!! 2. If possible move your modem into a cooler area. 3. Try leaving the modem unplugged when not in use like when you are at work or school.
