Weight Loss Kentucky

What do you do in the army? ?

There’s one thing that’s always just made my heart race with excitment and that’s horseracing. I’m planning on going to kentucky to become a racehorse trainer…but I’ve always had this little thought in my head about joining the army. Well the other day I was watching Extreme Makeover: Weight loss edition or whatever. And the trainer guy enlisted the overweigt guy into the army for a day. When I watched this…wow I just get this feeling….and that thought turned into and idea. So I kinda maybe really wanna join the army :J and I’ve got lots of reasons it not just because I think its cool or whatever. But I’m not 100 percent certain what the army does. I’ve got an idea but I have one important question…does being a girl effect anything? Because I wouldn’t want to be treated different or not be allowed to do something ya know? And what do you do during training? What’s a normal day? Thanks a lot

Hey we all get the inspiration to join from different places. I first started thinking about it as a kid from watching a cartoon about pilots and thinking that I liked the way the military people were portrayed in it. Sounds like whatever you were watching was at least more realistic than what I started with!

What the Army does: You can look at the Army as a giant corporation almost. The purpose of the Army is to defend America and fight and win wars. Each soldier is a part of that effort, but the jobs within the Army are incredibly diverse.

The job you do in the Army is called an MOS – Military Occupational Specialty. This can be anything from Military Police to Military Intelligence, Medic, Cook, Human Resources, Journalist, even members of the Army Band.

Regardless of your MOS, everyone starts in the same place – Basic Combat Training. There you learn your basic soldier skills, like marching, keeping your area clean, firing an M-16 or M-4 rifle, etc. It isn’t an easy thing to do. It is physically and emotionally demanding and for most people involves some serious culture shock. Here’s the deal with BCT though: If you wake up and do your best every day you WILL pass. There is over a 90% pass rate and most of the 10% who don’t pass just give up and quit because they get homesick or regret the decision to join.

Here is a decent video on what BCT is like: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iBJ4IlyH3RA

After BCT (which is ten weeks long) you go directly to AIT, where you learn your MOS. From there on, each soldier’s life is very different depending on his or her job. If you’re an office admin person, there won’t be much emphasis on combat because you’ll probably never be in it. Instead, you will learn things like how to process payroll issues, fill out various forms, and keep everything organized and entered into the computer correctly. If you’re a medic, you’ll learn medical stuff. If you decide to work with animals and you’re a vet tech, you’ll learn that stuff.

If you’re wondering what MOS you’d like to do, head over to www.goarmy.com and use the career tab to try out this ap where you can match your interests to a list of MOS for you to consider. You pick your MOS before you enlist. It’s actually guaranteed in your contract that you’ll get a chance to train for the job you want. The only way it changes is if you fail out of training. Again though, as long as you’re determined you’ll do fine.

Okay wrapping up cause it’s getting late: Being a girl: Being a girl effects some things. You aren’t allowed to take MOS that have front line combat as their primary responsibility. This means you can’t be in the Infantry, drive a tank or join Special Forces. However, if action is your thing you can try jobs like Military Police, Combat Medic, Counter Intelligence, Civil Affairs and Psyops. All of these jobs are right in the thick of things during a deployment.

Women make up about 19% of the Army. They get the same pay as men and can promote as high as their drive and intelligence will take them.

I hope that gives you enough information to start really considering your options. The Army can be a great career move, but you have to be determined and you have to make it work for you. I’ve never regretted my decision to join and its opened a lot of doors for me and continues to open doors for me. I know other people though who just signed up and kind of coasted and did the minimum they needed to and they don’t like it as much. Just like anything else, it’s what you make of it.

Good luck and thanks for considering service.
