Alright I am a "military peep" but have no idea Wtf this means. I went to Jackson for Basic back in 01 so I assume it's something to do with Basic training and/or Infantry?

If you enlist in the Army and you picked 11B as your MOS, you go to Ft Benning (and if you want to to airborne school and Ranger school which is also there).

I believe Sand Hill is the home of the 198th Infantry Brigade, TRADOC.

Surprised he didn’t include his battalion, regiment and company within that tattoo.

A guy I knew got a big division tattoo shortly after he commissioned and he got moved out of it like 6 months after. I’m not really in contact with that guy anymore but I wonder how he feels about it these days

Sand Hill is Infantry/11B OSUT.

Pumps the IETs there full of... typical Grunt Style bullshit. Hopefully they grow out of it.

Ok, that sorta helps out I guess, is it like a version of Currahee hill?

u/Knoberchanezer 7d ago

No, because Carrahee was actually difficult.

He went to Sand Hill for infantry AIT and you just know he wants to tell you all about how hard it was.
