Realistically, it depends a whole lot on who you're stationed with.  My battalion, 2/4, was a rotating Med unit, so about half the time, the grunt companies were training like crazy, the other half, there were classes, inspections, and weapons cleaning.  \n\nThe nice part about being a grunt is that when you're not knee deep in operations or work-ups (to operations), the first sergeants and company commanders are smart enough to let you decompress with the administrative stuff that you do mostly in your room at the barracks or in the company area at the barracks.  It's pretty laid back or it's full throttle, not a whole lot of in between.\n\nHope this helps.

Depends on the missions and what kind of war it is.  First of all Special "delta" forces are designed to infiltrate deep into enemy territory with one specific goal, and to go to friendlies in enemy territory and train them how to resist and fight our common enemy.\n\nArmy Rangers are more of an acctual wartime advanced assault team.  Highly trained infantry that can sustain themselves without backup for an extend amount of time\n\nMarine Recon are just that.  A small unit that recons forward enemy positions to relay information back to headquarters. \n\nNavy Seals are like Special forces to some degree. They have to train for water incursions more. Swimming, diving, underwater explosives.\n\nAir Force Special OPS usually retrieve downed crew in enemy territory.\n\nAll of these descriptions can be interchanged pretty much.  Just depends on which teams are available, and what the actual missions are.

Really depends on what you want to do in the army, a "textile specalist" has obvouisly different requirements than a combat MOS or somebody who works in inteligence. Could be anything from GED up to college. You really need to talk with a recruiter, they have you take a test so they can tell you more.

There are two versions.  The version immediately below is the one used by the US Army and has been provided to US soldiers attending Ranger School from the 1950's to present day. However, these are a simplified version, and it is unclear why the Army chose to modify them. One theory being that it would be easier to remember.\n\nDon't forget nothing. \nHave your musket clean as a whistle, hatchet scoured, sixty rounds powder and ball, and be ready to march at a minute's warning. \nWhen you're on the march, act the way you would if you was sneaking up on a deer. See the enemy first. \nTell the truth about what you see and what you do. There is an army depending on us for correct information. You can lie all you please when you tell other folks about the Rangers, but don't never lie to a Ranger or officer. \nDon't never take a chance you don't have to. \nWhen we're on the march we march single file, far enough apart so one shot can't go through two men. \nIf we strike swamps, or soft ground, we spread out abreast, so it's hard to track us. \nWhen we march, we keep moving till dark, so as to give the enemy the least possible chance at us. \nWhen we camp, half the party stays awake while the other half sleeps. \nIf we take prisoners, we keep'em separate till we have had time to examine them, so they can't cook up a story between 'em. \nDon't ever march home the same way. Take a different route so you won't be ambushed. \nNo matter whether we travel in big parties or little ones, each party has to keep a scout 20 yards ahead, 20 yards on each flank, and 20 yards in the rear so the main body can't be surprised and wiped out. \nEvery night you'll be told where to meet if surrounded by a superior force. \nDon't sit down to eat without posting sentries. \nDon't sleep beyond dawn. Dawn's when the French and Indians attack. \nDon't cross a river by a regular ford. \nIf somebody's trailing you, make a circle, come back onto your own tracks, and ambush the folks that aim to ambush you. \nDon't stand up when the enemy's coming against you. Kneel down, lie down, hide behind a tree. \nLet the enemy come till he's almost close enough to touch, then let him have it and jump out and finish him up with your hatchet.

i answered your other question too..... again, nothing.... you'll leave with what you joined with after how ever many years you do. and like i said, you dont need ANY quals to join, so thats what you'll leave with........... get a trade in the army, anything....\n\ninfantry, and sniper..... are not careers..... and you do those in ANY of your local infantry Battalions...... Tank Drivers dont exist in the infantry / para's, Tank drivers are only in Tank regiments... i see your always asking about the Para's, and that you dont isten to the comments, you just listen to what you wanna hear... but believe me... DONT DO IT....

I enlisted and then became an officer through ROTC.  I would say that is the best way to go.  On my first day as a young tank Platoon Leader in Germany, I got in and helped a bunch of very shocked soldiers change track.  Few had seen an officer ever do that.\n\nKnowing what it's like to do the jobs EMs do and having done them is a good way to earn, initial, respect.  Your actions everyday, even on your bad days, determine the long term respect.  Standing up for your soldiers when they are right and going through demanding training with them are just two ways of building this long term respect.

It depends on what you & the Army decide to do.\nBoot camp is 13 weeks & infantry school is 6 weeks.\nIf you go in to Officer Training (as college op),\nmy son has had everything from boot camp, BOLC, IOBC, Marksman, Jump School, Ranger School (he has 2 weeks left)\nhe will have been trained for 78 weeks. A long time.\nHe graduates from Ranger school in 2 weeks & leaves in 4 weeks for Afghanistan to lead his men who are already there under command of his Sgt. ( He is a Lt. - due to be Captain in Dec.) So training can vary alot in the Army.

The same as you run for active duty.  Basic training for the Army (active, NG, and Reserve) is the same.  \n\nDaily Physical Training (PT) involves increasing body strength and physical endurance.  You will start by doing a PT test (APFT) and this will show your Drills where you stand.  Then your PT will be adjusted to bring you slowly up to standard.\n\nYou will, initially, run at a slow pace for 2 miles.  As the time progresses and your endurance increases, this will also increase to where you can run, SLOWLY, for 5 miles.  The 2 mile run will be run at a quicker pace.

a lot of these answers are great just to stress on a few get some college first and you will have a higher rank when joining. If you can't. just be prepared to be broken and rebuilt they will break you down and rebuild you into a soldier.  Your life will revolve around the USMC you can't come and go as you please it is up to your ranking officer. I think the Army is a little slacker and not as tuff as the USMC both are standing for your country which is a great honor make sure you pick the job you want when you sign up because it is hard as hell to change once you sign those papers.  Basic training and  the schooling after sucks you do stupid jobs like kitchen duty and detail work.  Defiantly start running/  it is up and at um every morning for PT during your first 6 months to a year.  Lots of push ups and sit ups.  But you build great bonds and great friendships and you make it into what you want it can be the best experience or the worst it is all up to you!\n\nProud to be an American

Are you a Ranger fan?

There is no more money being a Ranger been there done that, we washed out three out of every four then the Army can place them where ever they want.  That is not good for you!  One gets Jump pay which used to be $155.00 a month then there is hazard pay when they are in harms way that was 150.00.  No way to get rich but I get a hundred and ten a month for no knees and half a hand, was it worth it?  HELL NO!\n\nGod Bless You and the Southern People.

Wow some of these answers are WAY off the mark.\n\nOk, in the Army it's called BCT. Basic Combat Training.\n\nIt should take about 2 months and change. The toughest part for some is learning to follow instructions and acting like a member of a team, for others and i think everyone is learning that in the military that failure is not an option. You can not quit.  \n\nAs far as daily life you can expect to work and train for about 12 to 16 hours a day. Lots to learn in those first few months in the army. How to march, how to shoot, how to climb and how to work as part of a team. You will spend about the first 6 weeks constantly sore and tired. But then your body will come around and you'll learn that you are stronger and faster than you ever thought possible.\n\nAbout the abuse.\n\nYour Drill Sergeants can't physically assault you. no punching or kicking. They may make you do a lot of push ups or yell at you but they will never hurt you. First and foremost is safety. Your Drill Sergeant is a highly trained and extremely professional soldier. Drill Sergeants are the best of the best that the army has to offer. They know how to shape young minds and bodies into the worlds most elite fighting machine and have over 200 years of history and method.\n\nIf you feel that the army is something you want to do then i say great. Sign up, swear in and join the ranks. \n\nAlways remember one thing that has kept me and others like me going in the toughest times. Don't give up on the Army and the Army will never give up on you.\n\nGood luck and god speed.
