I was also curious, once I've completed basic, and the basic moc for infanteers, how does further trainning work? Will I get a choice to apply for various trainning and the order they come in? or do I get whatever they offer should they even offer it?
Also, if I'm given a choice what courses should I pick up first in order to best make myself more eligible for further trainning opportunities?
To be honest, my general interest is getting into a commando company in RCR, so I suppose I'll be aiming primarily for the jump courses. Should I choose instead to pick up some other courses first (should I get the choice) before going for jump trainning? I spoke with a retired airborne guy recently and he suggested I should pick up a gunny course first and some other things, in order to get a bit more respect while trying for the airborne - not that they will give me much before I complete the course anyways. I'd also be happy to go for Sniper trainning, but evenstill, I've put my cart before my horse since I haven't even started Basic yet. Evenstill, if anyone can help illuminate some things for me here I'd be greatly appreciative.
Thanks,
