    Verification of Former Service (VFS) [Merged]

    Howdy folks. I did two years as LCIS, which is now a new trade as I understand. Reason for Leaving Personal issues mainly, I joined up right after college, and I intended to be a medic. They convinced me to join LCIS, because I was a nerd. I had a college education in Health and Wellness, and...

    Trade Transfer OUT of LCIS?

    Why is every one here so rude? When I was joining the army, I wanted to be a medic. I lacked the chem11/12, they told me I couldnt be one. So, they told me to come in and write the test regardless. By the end of it, they said I was really good at math (like every one else, they said I scored in...

    Trade Transfer OUT of LCIS?

    Happy new years all, sorry if this is a redundant question, I've searched for a while on the forums now. I've also asked some of my instructors in my POET course (kingston), no body really knows. I'm currently an LCIS tech student, just a month in POET, fresh outa basic. Honestly, I don't like...

    BMOQ failure rate?

    I agree. The reason of "Not the right stuff" is not really there. I would say, those guys mostly VR. There are some guys, when you get to CFLRS.. that you look at and say "WHY the hell are you even here". But right now, the Army wants 100% of the people going in to CFLRS, to get out and...

    I just graduated this week. We had 49 make it. When we started, there were 70. Now, that is NOT all faliure. Some guys went strait to RFT, I think around 11 guys went the first week.

    Gas Chamber

    Gas chamber isn't bad. I got a runny nose. You DO get exposed a little bit to it, but its kinda just like eating a spicy food. All and all. Naw, it's not bad. We had some guys screw up and have to run through it like 4 times and they werent throwing up. 61/61 didn't throw up.
