everyone signing up or thinking about signing up please pick something you can do as a civilian job. So many people make this mistake and have trouble when they get out.

^ I honestly dont know. But you should approach it from the perspective of: what do you want to do with your life and then what branch will help you achieve that. Thats how i chose the branch im going after. Certain branches may not be for you. And if neither branch will help you get there...then maybe the military isnt for you. I personally want to get in and stay. Whereas I think a lot of people are looking at it as a fix to their temporary short comings in life right now. So just before you sign up just see if it really fits your lifestyle.

air force heads, is it true they hold try outs for spec ops during BMT if someone wants to change their minds or they force someone if they are "showing off" in PT? I was seriously thinking bout TACP but the only thing that made me back off is living with the army but its still in the back of my mind.

I was an 11C in my first 2 years. Getting in shouldn't be too hard, but being able to stay in and being to stand out amongst your peers is what you should focus on.
People trying to come in now need to realized that the cakewalk into the military (including Army infantry) is over. The standards are going up and they aren't coming down anytime soon.
I loved the lifestyle, but looking back it a lot of stuff was truly crazy. Infantry like any other job has it's pros and cons just keep it all in the perspective of what your trying to get out of it.
To answer your question about injuries, Hell Yes. Being Infantry, you will age at lightspeed.
It will be your job to hump (walk with your rucksack) on a regular basis for miles upon miles, and if your not humping you will be running. Your knees and back will hate you.
