You are right about UNC/Ga. Tech...turnabout is fair play. It's all good!!

I live in Nash County (Rocky Mount).

You didn't think someone of my wisdom and maturity could be so young?

I dunno, some people get upset about anything. Hell, some people get upset without me addressing a single comment at them. About every six months I get a random rant from someone because... actually, the last one was because Spoon and Sage like me.

I know, it shocks me too. Come back from shops, open new TF, play with it for five minutes... HOLY FUCK, I'M 31! WHAT THE HELL AM I DOING? Then I think "Hey, at least it's not heroin" and turn back into a 5 year old.

I dunno, I'd feel a bit awkward PMing people with a "by the way, you do realise there's a rule against what you're doing?" I suppose phrased right it would be OK. More of a "I don't want you to get into trouble, so I thought I'd remind you..." than a "HEY ASSHAT! Stop breaking the fucking rules, dipshit!"

I'm sure there are Scout/Snipers elsewhere, but yeah, the majority of them are in line battalions. In fact, most of the time, people try out for them, get trained, and stay with their original battalions. At least in the case of the infantry. The school is hard as hell though. Most dudes don't qualify. I knew some dudes that went to the school 3-4 times before they passed.

Yeah, about the BAS and RAS.

To be honest, going balls to the wall as a Navy doctor might not happen. I mean, if he goes special ops like he says, maybe, but that's going to take a while. In a regular unit, even infantry, the doctors don't do crap (physically) except to do sick call in the mornings, and in the rare case of a Battalion-level op, hump. But doctors are important, and they have to be there in case anyone gets hurt, so they'll probably be in the back of a Humvee even then.

I'm sure that Force Recon has doctors, but what type of training they actually participate in, I have no idea. Scout Snipers are attached to regular infantry Battalions. I was a regular rifleman, and we had them in our Weapons Company, Weapons Platoon. They don't have their own medical staff outside of BAS except for possibly an enlisted Navy Corpsman.

If he wanted to go balls to the walls, he should have gone enlisted.

He should be ok. If he's a Doctor, chances are he'll just get stationed at a BAS or RAS. RAS, he won't have to do crap I'm thinking at the most, he'll have to do a couple humps. He'll be a Navy officer, so I doubt anyone will say crap to him. He'll have a bunch of young Marines saluting him, and he'll probably not know what to do. I doubt any one the Marines will mess with him.

A Navy doctor, huh? Is he going Green Side, or is he just there for training? What type of unit is he going to be with? Do you know the unit's name? Is he going to be at the Naval Hospital?
