I'm enlisting in the U.S. Army as a 68-Whiskey, my dream has been to be a Combat Medic.
I have here a sort of "wishlist" of things I want to accomplish in the Army, and I was wondering if there was anyway to secure these things when I sign the papers.
1.) I was hoping to go to Fort Benning since they have the reputation as the hardest Army basic-training (or so rumor has it?), that or Fort Knox. Is there anyway to request a certain training location?
2.) I want to attend the special schools of: Infantry School, Airborne School, Air Assault School, Pathfinder, and Sniper School (<-Not completely sure on that one).
3.) I heard I get to make a list of Units I hope to get assigned to when I enlist. Would it be possible to put on the list the 101st Airborne, 82nd Airborne, and the 1st Cavalry Division?
4.) My other ultimate goals is to work my way up into a Ranger Regiment and into a Special Forces group after that. I heard that there was an option when your signing your enlistment papers to get a spot in Ranger School, does anyone have any specifics on that?
Thank you very much for any and all help anyone can provide!
