    A MILITARY QUESTION!! How does one become a doctor in the military branches...

    i think you can do ROTC during your time as a premed major, you'll need to takl to an AMEDD (for the army, not sure wht the other branches call it) recruiter for specifics. or you can talk to one after getting your MD about joining. as for which branch is best, it depends on what you want to do...

    Is there a Field Medic in the Army? (as oppose to the Navy, AF, and Marines)?

    68W its under the official title "health care specialist" but everyone refers to it as "medic". the army used to have 91A and 91B which were hospitol and field medic, however they combined the two into 91W (i honestly dont think it was that smart of a thing to do)which later got renumbered to...

    a sapper is someone who went through the sapper course, which is a combat engineer version of the ranger course (mentally harder, not sure about physically). the army equivalant of USMC infantry is...wait for it....army infantry. yes marines basic is 13 weeks and the army's is 9, but the first...

    How do I shoot expert in my Basic Rifle Marksmanship test?

    36 or more out of 40. you can qualify expert without hitting any of the 300M targets since there are only 4 of them. my advice is if you miss a target thats not a 300m one, take a second shot at it. also put some chalk or rub a soft white rock against your front sight, since the targets are dark...

    Army Ranger Training.?

    honestly the whole "infiltrate by sea, air, and land" is a widespread standard across USSOCOM. the two are somewhat similiar, small teams doing elite missions, but seals have more training in underwater demolitions and anything involving the sea.

    1st lt promotable is for special forces, not rangers. EVERY SINGLE officer (included prior enlistd ones) who wanst to go infantry is trying to get into the rangers, so honestly your chances are slim to none. regiment is an enlisted mans game anyway, if you want to be a ranger, then go enlisted...

    what does it mean when ur stationed and your unit is away in war?

    thats his station and his unit, he'll be there until the USMC sends him somewhere else or until he reenlists for somewhere else. he will either deploy and meet his unit over there, or he will stay on base and be Rear Detachment (aka "rear-d").

    How can we make the U.S. Military stronger?

    get rid of drill and ceremony, parades, ceremonies, division reviews, etc, and anything thats cosmetic only. get rid of the KBR cooks, cooks int he army dont do shit on deployment unless they're on a small base that doesnt have KBR, its time for spoons to start to earn their paychecks. get rid...

    army mos from 11c to 11b vs 19b?

    the army needs more Bravos than Charlies so i think you'd be safe switching over. 19D and 11Bs are doing pretty much the same job in iraq/afghan right now, since everyone drives everywhere and most combat is house to house.

    Army MOS 11X dont let them screw you?

    you cant jion as 11B, only 11X. its how the army works. btw you dont lose your bonus when you switch MOSs if you re-up. its just luck of the draw if you get 11B or 11C, just be glad for the good parts of 11C. you wont do as many dangerous missions as the Bravos do, that means you have a better...

    Military specialty pays?

    airborne pays an extra $150 a month, halo is $225. i believe special forces gives you hazerdous duty pay 24/7, but i could be wrong. i know they roll in bank from TDY pay though. diver is hazerdous duty pay only if you're actively doing it, just being qualified isnt more pay in and of itself...
