I'm joining the US Army 1st Cavalry division when i immigrate to the United States.

I hope to do a bunch of Grunty shit like wearing Keffiyehs and decorating my helmet. I hope to get a lot of action and trigger time as well.

Immigrate soon, it's nice here.

And why does everyone wanna join the Army? There are other occupations to try, and if it's for the guns, their are more fun gun jobs out there too.

Just saying.

I wanted to join the US Military since i was ten. First i wanted to be a marine. Then didn't want to be a "special" soldier, just a regular grunt, so i wanted the Army. And yeah, the US is really nice. Gonna immigrate in two years.

Just hope you aren't doing it to see action and get in "the shit". Chances are you'll hold down a four year job doing something based on your class choice.

A friend of my dad's was an engineer and fixed vehicles for four years.

1 year tour overseas, you sign an 8 year enlistment. 4 years active duty, 4 years in the reserves.

Active Duty? Does that mean that when my tour is over i'm going to be sitting in my ass in some base in the States?

Also, when i wiki'ed Active Duty, this turned up:
