I made it - I'm an Engineer!

DerHeer, on Apr 21 2016 - 14:51, said: Well, here's a little backstory.   I posted about my upcoming departure to Basic Combat Training back in January. I enlisted as a Twelve-Bravo, Combat Engineer. Now, fifteen weeks later, I'm coming up on my graduation from AIT as a Twelve Bravo as of tomorrow, I'll then be stuck here in the glorious Fort LostInTheWoods, Misery (bad puns = win amirite) as an Airborne Holdover (meaning I have an Airborne contract but I'm waiting for my "turn" to ship to Fort Benning, Georgia for Airborne School. My unit of assignment as long as I pass Airborne School is the 173rd Airborne Division, and I'll be set to be stationed in Italy by June 21, as long as I pass Airborne School as stated.    Anyways, it's been a long journey, I've met many people that I would trust to watch my back anywhere, any time.   I'm going to cut this short, but I'm open to any and all questions relating to my training. Feel free to ask anything regarding my experiences or opinions on various things of BCT.   I look forward to truly beginning my career of Active Duty for this great country, and thanks to all who have supported my decisions in the past.
