For those not in the know, BCT is Basic Combat Training.
Our beloved 222304 is going to Basic Training in Fort Benning, Georgia. The hardest BCT out of them all, for combat jobs.
222304 is infantry.
I will not be back until December, so if you see 222304 logged on any time between now and then, it isn't me.

National Guard, but since it's a localized version of the USArmy, it's easier to explain as "I'm in the army." |

"Hopefully you're not Enlisted."
Signed a contract for 6 years, been training for 7 months.
I'm going to the real deal. My flight leaves at 3:20 my time. |

| At least you got a contract for 6, I know a lot of people who are getting axed from their military jobs in the next few years due to major military cuts. |

That's the beauty of the Natl. Guard.
The army is downsizing, whereas the Natl. Guard is trying to increase their numbers.
Besides, the army wouldn't let me be a Tank Crewman due to my colorblindness, but at least the Guard will let me be infantry. :( |

that colorblindness rule has to be annoying
i plan on going into the marines but to pass the tests and w/e you can't take adhd meds a year before you get tested (and that's bad obviously because i have adhd) |

| I'm planning to do ROTC at a college, going to apply for West Point, but that's ridiculously hard to get into, so back up is RPI on a ROTC scholarship and to become an engineer. |

Wouldn't let me do a combat MOS due to colorblindness
The only way I can actually shoot a gun is by going Guard. |

| Ya I know, 2nd Lt., I want to go to WP if possible though much more prestigious, but RPI has much better engineer degrees, WP engineer degrees aren't as widely accepted due to it being a federal college. |
