These videos have been a huge help and I'm planning to do the same route to becoming an officer, going into the Army Reserves and doing Army ROTC in the university I'll be attending. I'm really excited for my MOS which is 25Q and doing a general mathematics major once I get to the university.

    The word "acronym" refers only to initials that are pronounced as a word. POG is an acronym; SOP is an initialism because it is pronounced as the letters used. Abbreviations include DFAC and HVAC. They are hybrids of initialisms and acronyms.

I worked for AAFES for awhile after High School. (Army and Air Force Exchange Service). Army loves the acronyms. ;) While watching AFN, the one and only English speaking TV channel (in the 80s and 90s), we'd learn a lot of the acronyms during the infomercials.

    • @solar3551
      @solar3551 6 лет назад +1

      Tony Savage I believe a 19D being a Cav Scout goes to fort benning for BCT and they have OSUT there so you will have BCT and AIT at the same base so you will go from BCT straight to AIT without any break, and you probably can attach a contract, airborne will be easier than ranger, because you need to have atleast a 50GT score on your ASVAB or PICAT, and you need to be 21 y/o and in good physical shape, I'm enlisted as a 25U (Combat Communications) with an airborne contract and a 5k bonus, I leave for BCT in july, I was going to go 19D but it wasn't available at the time, that's why I'm so educated on it, hope this helped and good luck

    • @ryanmeehan9733
      @ryanmeehan9733 6 лет назад

      Yes you do 17 weeks of osut at fort Benning! And the airborne contract is dependent on the needs of the army.. if they need 19d airborne it's kinda luck of the draw but definitely ask your recruiter when you talk to him to see if he can get you and schools on your contract.. if you do national guard the odds of you getting airborne on your contract is slim to none! You'll love it man I wasn't sure if 19d was what I wanted to do but after completing osut training I love it!

      Ek is nou in Matriek... ek kyk die videos want ek dink daaraan om die weermag te join... maar ek dink meer aan die navy... ek het nog net nie besluit of dit in SA gaan wees of iewers anders nie so ek kyk maar alles...
