How many recruits were dropped from your Division? What are some of the reasons they may be dropped?

My division dropped 8. Most were medical or PFA/Swimbut one was she popped on a drug test and another lied about depression to be sent home. My brother div ASMO'd 20, though. Their RDCs would find any reason to ASMO people out. Especially the people that were on the "ice cream social" list.

0, I got the feeling that everyone was forced to graduate. Don't worry about this stuff, you won't get dropped unless you do something stupid like stand up during the moment of truth.

Wow your RDCs were forgiving. We ASMOed/Sepped around 20+

Tons in brother div got ASMO'd. They were ASMO'ing left and right. Our RDCs found WAY too much joy in ASMO days.

800 Div so 100% swim and pfa pass, I think the only way you can get ASMO is if you fail swim or pfa. Someone in my division got 4 hardcard entries and he didn't even get asmo

You can get ASMO'd for stupid reasons if the RDCs don't see potential in you. We ASMO'd a guy back 2 weeks because he hid from a collar-device beat down lol

Can you tell me what brand of shoes you are issued? I would like to get my son a pair before he leaves so he can get used to them, I know he won't wear his but at least he will know the shoes ahead of time... He usually only wear his high tops so I want him to wear running shoes for the next 2 weeks, he ships out June 25th

New balance shoes. Don't know the specific brand.

He will be issued New Balance tennis shoes. He will wear those for a few days during P-days with his sweats. After that he will be issued Bates steel toed boots. (At least I think they're still issuing Bates. They might have switched companies). After he is issued his boots, he will only wear his tennis shoes for PT. Most people tend to struggle with the boots. They are either too scared to say that they're too big/small or they just aren't used to wearing boots. Considering they're going to be new boots, he's more than likely going to get blisters no matter what. Thankfully medical issues every recruit a small bag containing Moleskin. It's like a bandage for the blisters.

New Balance! (Worst shoes ever) you step onto a thing that looks at the arch and stuff of your feet and they'll give you shoes best fit to that arch but seriously worst shoes ever. The boots are bates. Just make sure he understands that when you get fitted for boots MAKE SURE THEY FIT or you will be miserable. I made sure mine fitted and I tied them tightly and I never had blisters. Granted my feet were sore from trying to break my boots in but I was good. He'll rarely ever wear tennis shoes, honestly. p-Days then for PT, if he's LLD and if he's in that training group that makes you wear them a week on them off. (I'm not sure of that) but hopefully he won't have to wear tennis shoes a whole awful lot because that's just awful! Haha
