So I ship out to army basic training and will belong to them for the next 5 years. Going as an EOD specialist (bomb squad).

basically wanted this my whole life and the time has come. I know a lot of you guys dont support the war or us but please support the troops. Im a fireman in NY currently and even till this day the 9/11 attacks can be felt in my firehouse...we lost a few good men who served in the FDNY. I still feel like I need to do my part to serve this country since there are so many who served before me.

you guys are a great community and its been real Peace out for a while

Thank you for your service man! Good luck and I hope for a safe return. It would be seriously badass if you could slap some NS stickers on stuff over there.

You must be pretty gutsy to be on a bomb squad.

60 minutes did a segment on the mission to get Obama tonight, and i know youre probably not going to be a fkn Navy Seal, but i gained so much respect for soldiers in general from watching that.
The guy being interviewed just causally shrugged off the part where the pointman sacrificed himself to block a possible suicide bomber, real heroes.

Best of luck to ya man. Basic is not as bad as they make it out to seem. I made it through Air Force basic about a year and a half ago, and have spoken to several friends that went through army basic too. It's all roughly the same thing, just a huge mind fuck. Stay mentally strong, and have that one person/thing to keep your mind set on that will push you to do great. if you have a goal, then your DI's or anybody can't stop you. So again thanks man, and the best of luck.

I agree... Diffuse a bomb? Slap a NS sticker on it.

And thanks for your service! Hope you have a safe return.

I don't support it in terms of I think it's completely pointless and the same with the troops but I support them in terms of the fact that they're trying to do something good and that I hope everyone get's back home safely.

Good luck.
