Do most Army soldiers want aviation?

[Tesla]

Valid point. I love how the troll just completely ignored that whole situation about being busted lol

Probably one of those poor souls who are holdovers at 120th.

I’m amazed at how far this thread has gone especially since it’s mostly gibberish. Since there’s some intrigue surrounding this kid’s posts, I’ll give a quick tidbit for what it's worth.

 

When he was seeking guidance last summer, he called me. He sounded like a late teen (give or take a few) who was genuinely interested in WOFT. He had a lot of questions about what it took to be a military pilot and a lot about different aircrafts. Do his posts reflect who he is? Don’t know. I do see how the video from 3 years ago matched the photo. That is a bit strange.

Oh wow he called you? I was also wondering why a troll would be sending private messages to some people because he was offended they were being mean to him. I feel so lost now....well I already was because I'm studying lol

I often wondered why someone trolling would send private messages as well.

 

You are more trusting then I would be giving someone your phone number, I guess it's one way for him to do his research. After reading that you actually talked with him, this has taken a far stranger turn, well past your average troll. What he posts seems even more disturbing now, it's pretty clear that anyone who matches what this person posts would never get close to being accepted, the fact that he posts that he couldn't even pass the APFT and his recruiter fudged the numbers is telling enough.

 

If by some chance he is someone who has actually applied and been accepted but is posting this way just for fun, well, that's disturbing in itself, considering the profanity filled messages and the blatant sexism to the female flight students that post here this person would have some serious issues. Either that or this is a very troubled teenager.

 

Now that email I received a couple days ago from this forum saying that someone tried to recover my password and get into my account is starting to make me wonder.

[napoleonpp]

And quite disturbing that he wasted a hard earned military discount on SANDLES. 70 pages and growing. The world may never know

[dondlhmn]

If he bought "SANDLES", he did, indeed, waste his money (I think....does anyone actually sell anything called "sandles"?). Now, if he bought sandals, he probably got something that is identifiable and he can say that he actually DID get something for his money that people could maybe identify. Sometimes reading this (WAAAYY TOO LONG and goofy) thread is like watching an old "Dumb and Dumber" movie stuck in a "loop mode".

Maybe he just REALLY wants to be you, Trade.

i think hes for real bc thatd be odd for a troll to do somthing like that and his posts seem too suggest he knows bout army lifestyle such as the big sacks that we have.

That sack is called a "DUFFLE BAG".

He messaged me asking "do u have to carry a lot of heavy backpacks in boot while running?"

 

I'd have to say, I would love to know the truth. Back in December he sent me a long message about being in the dumps. He sounded pretty distressed.

 

Strange

[Tradewinds]

 

Strange

 

That about sums it up.

[CO2WO]

Well I've finally made it all the way to the end of this topic and can come up for air. Gotta say, 10/10 would read again.

 

Now I understand why this is a 4 star rated topic. Either this kid is an idiot with JUST enough social skills to trick a couple Army recruiters or this is the most EPIC troll thread. Either way; bravo, Shindig.

 

Dude IF you make it to Rucker, I will buy you a PB&J and a chocolate milk. We can talk shop.

[MuffinMan]

 

Ok that makes sense. Do they start the process once you get selected or once you have your security interview?

From my understanding the security interview you do at MEPS is just a prequalifier for your packet to get accepted. Once selected and sign contract they begin the actual process of getting you secret clearance(or declining it).

 

I could be wrong here, if so please correct me.

[MuffinMan]

Reading through this thread I think there's two possibilities for Shindig's actual situation.

 

1. he's a very dedicated troll, one of the best, and one of the best there will ever be to take it so far as to call and speak to somebody regarding the WOFT program.

 

or......

 

2.he's real. If this is the case I believe he may have some definite social skills issues. Regardless, if he is real and does end up at BCT and WOCS (although I did PM him to ask him his ship date/report date without a response) he's going to be in for a world of hurt I imagine. At the same time if he is real and just has some "group communication problems", that would mean that he could also use some support and if having a really tough family situation as well while trying to serve his country.

 

Either way!!! this thread has provided an immense amount of entertainment for a ton of people, granted some frustration I'm sure.

 

p.s. I promise I'm not shindig just posting this!! just a guy whose looking at all this from the outside while he waits to go to BCT. and I would be will to prove that I'm not by providing my name to be found the civilian January Selection list hahaha.

Sorry, I have to ask - do you know the Muffin Man?

Can't say that I do haha....

 

but after this thread, don't we all know shindig in some way. it's like he's touched all of us in a way....

 

(touched....violated...kind of the same thing)

[Shindig]

And I started the woft process like a yr ago and worked my butt off and gotten to this point ...im proud to serve my country to be a part from the brotherhood and you guys are supposed to be like brothers to me now that im military but i just dont know anymore except a few on this site thank you

[Creep0321]

[Dmurray]

Greatest troll of all time. This guy is dedicated.

blah blah blah.... Dude, no one feels sorry for you. We have ALL gone through some crappy times, lost loved ones, been financially strained, etc. No one here had this career given to them and you won't either. We all worked extremely hard to get where we are.

 

I'm 100% sure the men and women on this forum and in the US Army would proudly call you a brother and respect you if you had A ) presented yourself in a professional manner, and B ) tried at least a LITTLE bit to act beyond your current maturity level. But you didn't and you can't.

 

Instead, you have shown us again and again that you can't respond to simple questions about your legitimacy without devolving to slurs and chauvinist remarks (got your back Lind-dawg lol).

 

If you are indeed a real kid you need to delete your account here, re-evaluate your life decisions/goals, and re-read this thread as an outsider and see that at least initially no one was trying to pick on you.

 

Army aviation is a pretty small community; You can't start burning bridges before they're even built...

lol guess I did my part to feed the troll...
