The Army and BMX

i forgot who but someone here was part of the army , yeah you still got time to decide i know a few people my age thinking of joining too

I think chuck was in the army. Dude, i thought you were like 17 or something.

I think SBC was in some kind of military. not sure which though.

Nah, I was a helicopter mechanic in the Navy. The Navy travels to the most places. The Army will send you overseas to Germany, unless you go into the combat areas. I hear they frown upon guys riding freestyle during combat, haha.

you'd have more off time than just basic training.... if you arent married or anything while going through MOS school and all that shizz you'd be in a dorm with other guys without being able to really leave much, let alone having free time to ride.

No, there isnt a whole lot of BMXing going on in the Army. There are a lot of things you can do for the Army tho, some only require a little work here and there after boot camp. Some need you all the time. Im sure that if you figure out something that works into it you will be fine. You could join the National Guard and still be in America too. It is a big choice in your life and the best person to ask this question is your recruiter for your school or area.

I'd go navy, you don't usually go to a combat area, and you get lots o free time compared to other military branches, plus if you can get a new riding scene every three years. I live in a navy town, so this is basic knowledge where I live.

Hate to break your heart but, you can't smoke weed in the Military

You get time off in the military just like any other job. I was in the Navy on active duty for 8 years, and am still in the reserves. If you want to ride on your off time, then just go riding. This may blow some people's minds, but many bases have skateparks. Fort McCoy, an Army base here has one. There's even a park in Guantanamo Bay Cuba that I've posted pics on in other threads. Good luck!

Sbc was in the army i believe, there was a thread about military in the non-bmx section. I was at Camp Pendleton in san diego a week ago for a trip, got to go on the USS Gary, saw the USS Mercy too, drilled with instructors in MCRD, watched foxtrot company of the marine corp graduate etc. Good stuff. If your (high) school has an JROTC program, join it. For my school if you complete at least 3 years of the program, you can enlist at an E-3 in any of the branches, except Marine Corp; E2. Well that's what my instructors said.

You don't have to join the Army to not fuck up, just don't fuck up. If you can recognise a fault, fix it. If it requires joining the Army than so be it but there are other ways to not screw up.

dude, youre 14, stop wrrying about the future and go have some fun! Im 19 and still not sure what I'm gunna do, and I've gotta be sorted by next sept...

I'm thinking the same thing. I'm pretty set on the Army or Navy. I feel its what I should do. But I don't what to do about my bike and shit. I'm 16 though.

Fort Bragg

There's a skatepark at Fort Irwin also. Ask a recruiter which ones have skateparks, just understand that a recruiter will tell you anything you want to hear and promise the world.
