Is there a way to re-enlist? I don't care if I have to go through BCT again.
I seriously regret leaving just because of what pussy hipsters said to me.

Fuckin' random ass Specialist, here.
Prior enlisted recruiters are a thing. Go to your local recruitment office and ask about it. Be professional and respectful. You dun goofed, you were young and listened to the jackasses that hate the military and have no understanding of it.
Come back to the fold, Private. Don't quit this time. Use this experience to teach others when you get higher up.

Oh,and one more thing. Go Active.
I've spoken with Guard and Reserve. Yes they're Soldiers. But they're not quite the same. Living a nice civilian life and doing drill a weekend or so every month is definitely not the same as living it 24/7.

Recruiters will suck your dick.
How's Basic by the way?
I'm going in a few months.
>>17850968
I'm Canadian so it's going to be Kingston or some shit
Sorry, mate, for misleading you
I'm going in as an Officer
They told me that all fags go in basic at the same level
Is that true in America?

Depends on where you go.
Benning is simpler, with less bullshit, because it's all male.
You'll be stressed out, life will suck, jackasses will become bullies and fuck with people for fun, cliques will form.
Weird version of high school, but with rifles.

Deleted cause I realized I went on a rant. >>17850981 is me as well.
Never heard of gay basic training. Sounds like bullshit.
>>17850986
I'm being 4chanesque with the term "fags"
I don't literally mean "homosexuals"
When I say "fags'" I just mean people
You must be new
>>17850997
Nope, been here a while. Usually hang around /k/. Text is difficult to interpret at times, roodypoo.
>>17851018
Even /k/ must know how "fag" is just another word for "anon"
Whatever
Hey /k/fag
>>17851036
Like I said, difficult to interpret.
The way it was phrased suggested the general use of the term. Also, im tired.
Anyway, to try and answer your question, enlisted US Army trainees go to Forts Benning, Jackson, and Sill. Aside from people doing One Site Unit Training such as Infantry on Benning in specific, I've got no clue how they decide where everyone trains. You get stuck in whichevery one you get.
There is an MOS that is Officer Candidate. They go through BCT as enlisted, then become officer cadets before eventually becoming officers. Some officers just go to a military school and come in that way. West point, etc.
Night, anon. I gotta walk about a mile to get to PT in the morning.
