i heard that if your MOS involves combat you'll go to Fort Benning because its just for guys, and i also heard that because of that its considered the toughest and most extreme, also for that matter why cant women have a combat job in the army
Answer
All basic training installation have drill sergeants who are all trained to the same standard. You will receive all the same training on the important issues. But they get yelled at more at Benning than at Relaxin' Jackson.
Women can't have combat arms jobs because they are physically weaker, because they have more sensitive hygiene issues that preclude them from staying weeks and weeks in the field, and because of the emotional attachment men generally feel towards women, in which people think men would risk their own safety and their unit's safety by going to rescue a female comrade in danger.

Fort Jackson showers coed?
Q. I'm a girl. Do I have to take coed showers with a bunch of men and women in basic training? What about the toilets? Do I take a crapper in front of men as well? Is there no privacy? What's the real deal?
Answer
This is absolutely false. The US Government could never get away with allowing this at any military base even training facilites. Where did you hear that? Someone may be trying to scare you.
There is lots of fears associated with basic training and many are not true. Yes, it is touch and yes, you need to perform almost as well as the men but this is plain false.
My son in in the Army and I used to be a boot camp commander for the cadets (high School and college age) in the Civil Air Patrol and Air Force Auxillary. I know what goes on there and they are very careful to follow the strict guidelines. We used to have our boot camp at an Army Base and they had private facilites for the men and women (separate). And the baracks are separate in many cases.
If you are off to basic training, relax, it will be tough but you will come out a soldier.
