It is like being a male. What you need to know is that there are few women, it is a growing field. It is a physically demanding job requiring great physical and strength insurance. In Garrison life is as with every other unit with vehicle, PT, chow, Motor pool, detail, and hopefully online college at night. In the field, you may or may not see a shower for days, weeks on end, other than expedient of course. Sleep is limited as the boom boom boom can go on all night. You have to lift projectiles and powder weighing up to 100lb. You have to perform security, roving and stationary, you will eat field rations or MRE’s. If you have a good section chief he or she will find a way to integrate fitness into your daily routine.

Their is more, but this should paint the picture.

Thank you so much! I'm shipping out in June and this is the MOS I picked. I'm currently working to build my upper body strength so Ill be able to pass AIT. Do you have advice to help me build my upper body before I ship out?

Sorry for the delay I have been unavailable. It’s best to work the whole body. Look up Carlin’s Girvan. She has multiple workout programs. I would recommend her because she is a bad ass (excuse the language). You can join her program for free. Look up her 21 day programs and play around from there. Don’t be afraid to push yourself.
