>>...entering into the U.S. Army Airborne next year...

Well, good for you.<<

Questions/Observations:

1) What does "U.S. Army Airborne" mean? Which division? Corps? What?

2) How does he know he will be entering "the U.S. Army Airborne?" I mean, when you enlist do they tell you what corps you will be assigned? And if this cheese-eater is entering through ROTC/OCS or an Academy, or enlisting in the service, he would NOT refer to ANY army unit as "U.S. Army Airborne." That's just plain awkward and wrong syntax.

This yahoo may be enlisting (doubful), but if he is, he is dreaming if he thinks he KNOWS what unit he will be assigned. He may have a desired MOS, and may be pre-selected for some sort of training, but no guarantees. And if he knew beforehand what unit he was being assigned, he would say so and NOT refer to it as some namless "U.S. Army Airborne."

I have my doubts about this "man's" allegation.

Well, though he IS an ignorant rube, it is possible- for special programs- to know what program you'll be in, before you actually go to "boot."

I, for example, was automatically accepted to the Naval Nuclear Power school, prior to actually hitting boot-camp. Of course, there were no guarantees that I'd graduate (which I did), just that I would get to the school... So yeah, it's possible.

But considering how stupid and stubborn he is, I highly doubt he'll make it to the Rangers- they want people who can think on their feet, not be simple cannon-fodder, like this clown is....
