Finally home.
« on: May 16, 2009, 10:18:29 PM »
after 14 weeks of training, Basic and AIT in one straight shot, I'm finally home. It was awesome, I loved the training, and I picked the best MOS in the Army. 21B, Combat Engineer. I'm a sapper, and I wouldn't want anything else...I just don't know how I agreed to enlist for 6 years with no bonus haha! it was worth it. Soon, after some serious PT and a couple promotions, I'll go get my Sapper tab from the Leadership course.

it's good to be home. All i have to do is get a new AEG (because I sold mine before I left) and get onto the fields...

Good to hear you're back, Grayson.  

Where'd you do Basic?

thanks for the warm welcome!

and about training, basic was packed into 8 weeks, and the other 4 was 21B AIT, the last week was cleaning weapons, TA50 and the barracks. I still feel like I have a lot to learn even though I already learned a lot. Im excited to get to my unit.

9 month IET? that sucks. whats your MOS?

I had to go through OSUT as well, but mine was a total of 17 weeks. I know you 21 Bravos get to have a bunch of fun in AIT, I got two in my platoon. Yall are no good when it comes to building stuff though...
