Be at the right place at the right time and in the right uniform. Stay physically fit, motivated, and professional at all times. Remember your customs and courtesies, basic Soldier skills, and MOS skills. Get ready for Air Assault School. Most of all remember why you joined the Army in the first place and have a good time while serving honorably.

Be, or stay, open to learning new equipment, concepts, TTPs, and OpTempos. As a 25U, you should expect to come across new equipment in every unit. Meanwhile, read up on the unit history, square your uniforms (ACU & ASU) away before you arrive, and try to secure some networking connections before you leave your current unit. If you asked for Sponsorship, ask your sponsor more questions than he'll want to answer.

As a 25U you will be required to have a can do attitude even if it is not your job. Be honest and open and accepting of things that fall on your plate. That is all I got for you. Just remember you went through school and now you are at the bottom of the totem pole. Don't forget that there are reasons for the leaderships madness. Mostly to teach and sometimes the retardation is out of their control. that's all I got for you.

PFC Private RallyPoint Member - Congratulations on finally learning where you should be going in the 101st Abn (Air Assault) Div. Your new division has its roots in the Civil War and WWI. Learn the history of the 8th Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry Regiment and of "Old Abe". Also remember that the only part of the 101st Division that remains is HQs 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault). Next the nucleus of the 101st Airborne Division was the 327th Glider Infantry Regiment that had previously been a part of the 82nd Infantry Division. Remember this - the 327th Infantry Regiment is the oldest part of the 101st. Though "Old Abe" as a symbol is older, and was associated with HQs 101st Division (Organized Reserve) in 1921, just remember that the 327th Infantry was organized on 17 September 1917.
Other items to study upon - the history of the 187th Infantry and the 11th Airborne Division/11th Air Assault Division.

Make sure that you obtain copies of the following publications and start studying:
1. ATTP 3-18.12 / FM 90-4
2. FM 3-21.38 - Pathfinder Operations
3. SH 21-76 - Ranger Handbook
4. TM 4-48.09 (FM 4-20.197)
5. FM 4-20.198
6. FM 4-20.199
7. FM 10-450-4
8. FM 10-450-5

As a uniform AA wings are within your career path for promotion to Senior NCO. I have also had troopers that special to some time in the Pathfinder battalion and absolutely loved it. When you make E5 I would suggest the hat you apply the Hatoyama SOAR.

I'm in 1-327. It's a good BN. We have our good days and bad ones, but I'd say the good outweighs the bad. Just go "above the rest" in everything you do. Stand out. Make a name for yourself. Don't be lazy. Good luck
