Ok, probable long shot here, but why not.

I've been in the Navy for almost six months now, and I'm just about halfway through finishing my 'A' School to be a Hospital Corpsman. The Career Counselor there came in to my class and was discussing where we would like to go once we finish the school, and she mentioned something about going as an Individual Augmentee to Afghanistan with the Army. I volunteered to go, really not wanting anything else but to get a guarantee to get to go with the Marines in the future.

My question, or rather questions, are have any of you fellow BF2S people done the IA program, and if you have, what was it like?

Augmentation?

Make sure you sign up for the nanotech stuff. Mechanical augmentations are stronger and tougher, but you end up looking hideous and clump around like godzilla.
And, frankly, with metal legs, you ain't gonna do much infiltrating.

It's also called "in lieu of" (ILO) tasking. Basically, taking someone from another service to do a soldier's function in Iraq of Afghanistan. People do it all the time. I'm in the AF, and we're always sending Airmen over on ILO taskings.
