Do you still have your 11B SMART book?
The 158th is still full! when are some of you guys getting out so I can put people in there?
And nobody got the green weenie like the FA, we show up to drill and they say well its offical your all either 88M's or 31B's pick a line and hope you get the MOS you want. :shock: =D>
Yea I have two 7-8s I think. Though, I've never heard it called the smart book, I always called it the infantry bible.
I wish I knew when I was getting out. I know a few people trying to get out. My contract ended on the 27th of January. They won't let me out. FA used to not get the green weenie. I heard they used to bring a case of beer into the field with them, in a big cooler, with ice(this came from a FA guy, but I'm sure this was a while back, probably early to late 90's). You know what I take out into the field? A water buffalo, with hose water, and it takes like the water buffalo. I also get MREs. You know what kind of shit I take after 3 days of nothing but MREs? A big painful one(even though they are the best shits i've ever taken). You haven't seen a good shit until you've had one with traction.
The 158 isn't fun. Doing battle drill 1A 100 times in the summer sucks. How about the one time that we were out Florence, and it decided to snow(though I was in CLS, I still would have rather been with my buddies)? What about the gay mission I just got back from? What about that time, despite being told that the Bragg shuts down in bad weather, we went out and did the squad assault range, and guess what, in the morning it snowed, and then guess what...thats right, we had no ride back to the barracks. You're very disillusioned about what is fun, and what is just sucking it up, and laughing it off with your friends. :lol: I think you need some more time in the 1/158.
