Airborne. Why because of the pay and the excitement of being Airborne. Otherwise, once we are delivered, we are really not much different than Light or Air Assault. Airborne Paratroopers have one thing going for them than most and that is our ego, pride, and moral that is very rarely equaled, and that is what sets us apart from any other type of soldier on the battlefield. Whether the soldier is male or female, I will take an Airborne Paratrooper to cover my back over any other type of soldier, next would be a Marine. (Got to stick my two Jarhead uncles in there somewhere.)

Out of all the infantry units I have been in I enjoy serving in a Long Range Surveillance Company. There are only three in the Regular Army. It was an awesome place. I would go back as an officer if I could. I have never been anything but LRS and Mech. I like the Bradleys for the firepower but not for the maintenance that goes with it. One track goes down and you training is just about screwed. If you throw a track you might as well bust out a snickers because you are going to be there a while.
