let down by the army

[Schmidty]

I tryed to go to SAPPER(not a typo) school and they dont want to pay for it till im a E4. Im only a fvckn E2 and wont get a permotion for 2-3months. And then i gota wait another 18months after im a E3 to get a permotion to E4... Im going to be so pissed if i get deployed before i get a chance to go to SAPPER school, because i want to kick n sum doors and kill sum mofos if i gota be there... And id get to blow up all kinds a kool shit. My unit told me next time im down there try to reclass as a 21Bravo so i can be a reg combat engineer and then im more likely to get accepted in to SAPPER school. SAPPER would be so tight, they get to go w/Rangers and blow shit up... How fvckn cool is that!!!

[Amorphic]

war is not cool

[Schmidty]

war is not cool

If i gota go i gota go. If im there i want to do somrhting instead of be a heavy equipment operator(My current MOS). I want to kill!!!

[gixxerboy1]

how much is it and how many people do you get the kill. See wha tthe dollar per head ration is

[goodcents]

The army lied? No way, don't believe it

[goodcents]

You do know they shoot back though?

[Hollywood080]

you could probably get a permotion quicker if you learned to spell it!!!! It's promotion!

[DSM4Life]

You want to kill ? Thats so lame.

Talk all you want now but when you @$$ is on the battlefield its a entirely different story.

[qualityclrk1]

i agree w/ya...if i'm there, i want to be doing something......after i get my nursing degree i'll seriously consider trying to become a pararescue jumper......possibly just in the coast guard- i figured i'd see more action there and not worry about bullets

[qualityclrk1]

i've never heard of a SAPPER though.....whats it abbreviated for?

[SMCengineer]

Haha, "the dollar to head ratio"

[Lexed]

sapper is knock off ranger tab

[tadpoleboyy]

just about every dude i know whose been in the army and has killed doesnt think highly of it. They never talk about it, never like to admit the killed, and have probably seen loads of their fellow soldiers die right next to them. Now, all the dudes who havent really been in real battle love to brag about killing. I dont suggest being infantry.

[rockinred]

Not even in the same league...

schmidty, if you want some action and actually think killing is cool join the Infantry... submit a 4187 to transfer and try for Ranger School... then maybe the Army won't disappoint you.

That was the first thing that stood out to me too.

[im83931]

If you want to see blood go be a medic. Youll have all the nightmares you need.

Lame? The MOS i have now is a 21E, a heavy equpiment operater or a sitting duck. I dont really feel like being a large 20ton target for 18months of my life. I would rather be purposefully put in a more hostile situation then have one happen out of the blue and not be as ready as i can...

Since you are in the military and obviously familiar with the internet, I am curious if among your peers, the movie "Loose Change" has been viewed. (Free on google video) And what your reaction is/was.

just looked in to it and it seems a lot like zeightgeist or however u spell it...

[kirk3624]

It changed my perspective on a few things. I think you would probably find it interesting. It has been one of the most viewed worldwide on google video for the past few months. Good luck.

Yeah it is very similar. How do people in the military view that? I mean is the fact that 9/11 was most likely used to "trick" a vast number of Americans into fighting innocent enemies ever discussed openly? I would love to hear your thought.

Time for a no-shitter.

Dude, you weren't let down by the Army, you were let down by yourself. Of course they don't want to pay for it. You're an E2 flunkee who can't even spell promotion correctly and you think they're gonna trust you with explosives?

If you really want to get in the shit, then activate and volunteer 2 more times - once for Airborne, once more for Rangers. Then you might get your desired dose of trigger time.

[wascaptain5214]

I want to kill!!!

its not what you think bro, you think you can do that and forget?............................it stays with you.

[wascaptain5214]

Youll have all the nightmares you need.

you can't possibly be this naive

if you are such a gung ho mo fo, why didn't you go infantry in the first place?

[Schmidty]

Im pretty sure im a E2 because i dont have enough time in to be a E3 yet... Buta yeah, im sure me not being 100% on my spelling all the time really does matter... I do know that in the real situations u gota be 100% all the time about everything u think, do and move, and im not all the time. But i sure as fvck try my fvckn hardest and push myself harder now then ever before. Ill wait on my time and ill be a E4, ill re-up and get my fvckn SAPPER tab before i get out. Yeah, trigger time is hard on people mentally but somebodys gota do it. So why not me???

[Schmidty]

if you are such a gung ho mo fo, why didn't you go infantry in the first place?

I just wanted to feel content w/myself and feel like i have some place to go in life. And its not that im gung ho by any means, i just feeel i can do more then my MOS allows me...

Dude, if you think that being used on the whim of some flavor-of-the-month grey haired ego tripped political "commander-in-chief" mofo to kill people (or be killed) is going places in life then you have a lot of growing still to do.

I was saying thats why i originally sigded up, and my current MOS is about as combat oriented as a dentist...
