One More Month To Go!!!!

I have one more month to go until I am off to Basic with the U.S Army. The 6 months of waiting is almost here... Just 29 days to go and I am off and Good Bye NYC.

Amazing Things With MAVNI & Airborne.

It is pretty amazing what the MANVI could do for you especially one of the MAVNI guy I met at MEPS back in July. He finished Basic and Advance Infantry training as 11B 4 weeks ago, originally from Nepal and speak Nepali and Hindi due to his Indian British education in India. I met a lot of MAVNI stuck with combat arms jobs which I see they got sucker into it but for him he doesn't mind. I spoke to him last Friday over the phone and he is currently station in Ft. Lewis, Washington serving/attach to the 1st Special Forces Group that in responsible Asia-Pacific Region. He was able to get in due to he volunteer for Airborne and his skill with these two Asian languages during AIT. He told me he had his U.S Citizenship test a week or two ago by December he sould be a full pledge U.S Citizen. By next year he should be attending Airborne School and SFAS (Special Forces Assessment and Selection). I guess his American dream is slowly coming true. I want to wish him good luck!

Another guy I know from back in the days when I was in ROTC and a NYU graduate is near completion of his SF training down in Bragg. By January he will be a going through Robin Sage and I am sure he will do fine and pass it with flying colors since he is very square away for being Ranger qualify and Pathfinder qualify etc with one tour under his belt in Iraq.

As for me, hope for the best, prepare for the worst during my Basic in January to March at Ft. Leonard Wood in Missouri. Hopefully I also can get an Airborne slot during AIT and hoping I will end up in Ft. Bragg or even Ft. Lewis.
