The Army

[Chad716]

Sorry it's taken me so long to reply, schools been hectic and then hurricane katrina knocked out the power. Anyways, my diet...
morning - 3 egg whites and outmeal
lunch - peanut butter and jelly sandwhich and green beans
supper - grilled chicken salad
snacks - can of tuna or differents fruits
1 daily whey/soy protein shake

Another question for you army guys, the recruiters are beating around the bush, I want to fly blackhawk helicopters and I am undecided between the army national guard and the army reserves. I am wondering if I can even fly helicopters without being and active duty soldier. I may do active duty later, but for now I want to come home and go to LSU (GEAUX TIGERS!). If the helicopter pilot didnt work out i was gonna be a national guard mp. Since I want to be a state trooper later on in life i figured that that would be a good start.

They may not have aviation at your local national guard or reserve station. Plus to be a pilot you probably need good test scores and on top of that you eventually need to be an officer to fly anything in the Army. But you can fly as a warrant officer which doesn't take as long as being a normal officer. BURGER KING have it your way or don't join at all get everything you want mos, college money, bonus tell them what you want and that you won't sign until you get it. Air Force or no military is way better than the Army.

It all depends on whether your National Guard or Reserve unit has an opening for pilots. Your recruiter isn't going to help you on this because he needs people to sign their name and raise their right hand and he wants to do it the easiest way he can. So, look around and do your own research and go to him with what you want. I was in Warrant Officer Candidate School with several guys who were going to be pilots in the Guard and Reserve, but some of them had to wait a while for what they wanted. I think (but don't quote me on this) you can join, go to basic and drill with the unit while you are waiting to go to WOCS and Flight School. I'll research it and let you know.\

Also, don't listen to this bullshit about being a "regular" officer instead if a Warrant Officer. Warrant Officer is the best rank in the military.

you should start by adding more protein to your diet, 1 - 1.5 g per pound of bodyweight. Protein should be present in every meal, it is not either tuna or fruits. Other thing is that you need other sources of carbs like potatoes, rice, yams... and sure green veggies.

what are the fruits that you are consuming?

about your protein shake... is it whey with soy?

But warrant officers don't make as much money or get the same respect from what I've seen. I don't see how you figure its the best rank in the military.

Thanks for all the replies, the only fruits I eat on a regular basis are bananas, grapes, and apples.

I made a 74 on my asvab, but I dont know how good that is.

No, we get MORE respect because everyone knows that we know our shit and that the unit can't operate without us. The Commander will come to the Chief mand ask his opinion before he asks a cheesedick LT or Captain.

Well that your opinion, "we get more respect" says who, "everyone knows that we know our shit" whos everyone. I don't see any warrant officers leading any wars . If they got more respect like you say, wouldn't you see warrant officers on the news instead of officers. There not on cnn, fox or whatever cause they don't get more respect or have more power, prestige or lead any wars,or make more money. How many warrant officers have schools named after them? Probably none.

actually there are some in fort benning GA thats named after a warrent officer , but the recruiter will tyr to get you to do some crap job they want you to do and they get bonuses for them ,so best bet would be keep pressureing your recruiter it will take a while cuz they are stubborn
and normaly they wont give in, but if you talk to another one at a differnt location and tell each other what you want and pit them aginst each other
what they will do is cave in cuz they still have to make quota , and you going to someone else makes it harder so alot of time they will break
break them , break them , break them ,
