When I got mine in 1984, you could definitely screw up more than once. I think it was 2 times. I am almost positive that I got two no gos and barely passed.

I was a real cherry at the time so I don't feel so bad about it and at least I got it. I know our LT did just as poorly too.

I was "True Blue," but its the same EIB either way. If you double no-goed a station you were gone, or more than 2 retests. Now im "that lucky ******* cherry that true blue'd it."

Sorry about the triple post, I can get my EIB but cant find the delete post button in "edit post."

pain is temporary, glory is forever and chicks dig scars, SO MOVE OUT AND DRAW FIRE!!!

Congratulations!  That is a great accomplishment for a young PFC.  First try, right?  I'm glad you hang out here, young trooper.

Just wish I had gotten a shot for it.  I am trying to get in on a test with the national guard infantry unit that is local.  Apparantly my unit (Army Reserve Drill Sergeants) won't send me OR help me.  We'll see.

When I went through in '87 you could fail 2 tasks and retest within a short period before you moved on to the next station.  If you No Goed a third you were automatically gone.  If you failed one of your 2 retests you were also gone.  On our sheet they marked our GOs with a blue marker and our NO GOs with red so you could not miss it.  In '88 and '89 I was an EIB grader for the 2/75.

I'm pretty sure I got all go's so I guess I'm 'True Blue'!... still don't remember being able to retest, but that doesn't mean it didn't happen. I was a grader also, in '84 for my mech BN in Germany
