Message: [QUOTE="Swill, post: 69051, member: 140"] There is no "you get booted after X number of years" rule. Lots of factors go in to that equation. A very large one is your personal performance. Not too long ago, there was a Soldier who spent about three weeks in the unit before he was shown the door because he wasn't maintaining the standard. And I'm quite sure that's not the record. But I really wouldn't wouldn't worry about that right now. You have a long road before you even get a shot. Recommend you prepare yourself physically and mentally as best you can in the mean time. Understand that you're going to be expected to lead a professional's life even as a junior enlisted Soldier. Don't be surprised when you spend most of your time away from home. But if you make it into Regiment, I promise you'll be glad you did. [/QUOTE]
