When I was trained for the auxiliary security forces in Afghan-land, I used the M4. It is a great weapon. the only issues I had were my fault. I put about 700 rounds through a well used gun (the bluing was rubbed down to the shinny metal in parts) and it didn't have any function issues.
I'd trust it with my life as I would an M16. M16 = way of the past. m4 is far better and what i have carried here this entire year. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Thanks for the interest guys. I am making a long list of questions to ask the recruiters.

Good for you GD. And don't let them sidetrack you. If they get off on a tangent just let them know the Q&A is over unless they get back on track.

1) What happens if I fail in anyway?
2) What happens if I get injured?
3) Will I get deployed? If yes, where?
4) Under what circumstances can you "breach contract"?
5) Under what circumstances can you change my MOS direction?

reconseed I am having a hard time finding anything about your job and the enlisted positions there. the only thing I have found is people talking about mechanic type jobs that have nothing to do with firearms. can I get a web link from you that would help me find out what you do.

I love guns but I really would like to keep the gun chat down on the thread.
THIS IS ABOUT ME TRYING TO GET INFO ABOUT A IMPORTANT DECISION.

I am assuming Reconseed's job is in the Ordnance Corps, Branch 91. The enlisted jobs he is talking about, I'm assuming, are in the Maintanance, Field 91. Here is a link on info there. http://usmilitary.about.com/od/enlistedjobs/a/91.htm

thanks Sorry for sidetracking your thread. We, gun nuts get carried away at times. Gun guns guns! It's out of my system now. Carry on with your decision making <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
