Ask a soldier...

[W. Myers]

Well, sitting on a base all day can be incredibly boring, so as a time killer, and potential learning experience for some, throw some questions my way about the military. Ask about whatever you want, the food, the living, the day to day crap, whatever. As long as its not some shit that could get me in trouble, I have no problem answering questions.

Have you ever walked in on your Sergeant jerking off?

[Parker 1st MRB]

What kind of food they serving you?

[GMoney BAR]

What's the maximum effective range of an area target of the M16A2 gas powered rifle? And the Point target? lol I'll give you hard ones since I'm prior service and want to test your knowledge.

If I could reach through the internet and punch you in the head, I would.

What kind of food they serving you?

Surprisingly, the food is rather good. Its a mix of everything, but generally there's the staples of some sort of chicken or fish, they have steak from time to time, and there was some bomb ass salmon for lunch the other day. Theres a full salad bar, soda and juice and whatnot, and usually theres some kind of ice cream or something.

What's the maximum effective range of an area target of the M16A2 gas powered rifle? And the Point target?

The area range is 800 meters, and the point target range is 550, but if you can hit anything with great accuracy using the iron sights at that range, you're a better shot than I. Also, I see you're from Pittsburgh. Where at, we might have been neighbors.

What's the most difficult thing you did so far?

[W. Myers]

What's the most difficult thing you did so far?

In all honesty, nothing has been too terribly difficult, but if I were to pick any one thing, I'd have to say night time live fire at basic, where they shot over our heads and we low crawled in sand and shit. It wasn't scary or anything, it was just a long ass way to crawl in wet fucking sand. I guess if you want a humorous answer, I'd say its holding my sanity in this terrible high school like training base.

How many Soldier's is there at ur Base (camp)?

[W. Myers]

How many Soldier's is there at ur Base (camp)?

It's a Fort, and it's large enough to have its own zip code and area code. If I had to guess, I'd say it has the average population of a small city.

[Yamagata 1st MRB]

Any regrets?

[St-Denis]

Wow that's alot.

How many Tank, APC, Etc, is there?

[W. Myers]

Any regrets?

None, this has been great for me.

How many Tank, APC, Etc, is there?

I have no idea, and this is what I meant by the kinds of questions that could be in trouble. Don't ask about military strength and whatnot, because I will not put out that sort of information.

[Parker 1st MRB]

so whats the military strength of the Fort? LOL jk don't answer!

Serious question - favorite weapon to use?

[W. Myers]

Serious question - favorite weapon to use?

By far the M240B. Its a belt-fed machine gun that fires 7.62mm rounds at a speed of around 800 rounds a minute. It turns anything you point it at into swiss cheese.

Are there any hot chicks that you haven't banged yet? As in hot enlisted chicks that you see marching by and suddenly you trip out of formation because you can't stop thinking about banging them.... that kind of hot.

[Spear 1st MRB]

You are on Ft. Benning?

[W. Myers]

Are there any hot chicks that you haven't banged yet? As in hot enlisted...

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA... HAHAHAHA...

Oh, you're serious?

Army chicks are the most repugnant, scum of the earth creatures to ever roam the planet. Just so you know.

You are on Ft. Benning?

Fort Gordon, its next to Augusta.

How are the living spaces or barracks or w/e?

[W. Myers]

How are the living spaces or barracks or w/e?

Not amazing, but not awful either. Most people are in eight man rooms, but due to a bit of luck, I'm in a four man room with a private bathroom. Don't take this for regular army though. Training bases barracks's pretty much blow compared to regular army barracks's.

[Ford 1st MRB]

No need to quote this one. I'm a 25F, which is a Switching System Operator and Maintainer. Basically, I'm a one man phone and internet company. I sit in a box all day and keep the phones and data transfers working. Not exactly a Rambo job, but it's alright.

[J. Clark]

my brother tolled me about people who are just fuck ups how many do you have on your base that you just wanna punch in the face?

[W. Myers]

Ha, I guess the simplest answer to that is a lot. There's a hell of a lot of people like that. Just utter fucking retards.

[Jasko]

did anyone fuck up the grenade throwing part of training?
