Thread: From a future soldier... what is it like?

Hello, new member here. I'm only 15, I'm only in the 10th grade, but I am determined to join the US Army Infantry after school. But I want to know, what is it like?

Thanks to the wonderfull magic of the internet, I can kind of get a glimpse of what I will experience when I join from videos and such, but nothing beats talking to actual people. I know the stages of BCT, then AIT, then deployment. But what was it like for some of you to have experienced this? Getting to basic, meeting drill sergeants, becoming a soldier, and getting deployed. I'm an Army freak, and can not wait until after school, and until that time I'm trying to learn as much about my future as possible. I'm working out, eating everything in sight, drowning myself in milk to hopefully grow more than 5'6" and 112lbs, I have had trainging with an M4-style AR-15(though weapons training isn't my biggest concern at the moment.), running, doing situps and pushups, and doing everything possible to strenthen my mind mostly.

I would just like to know what the Army experiance is like, thanks.
