29TH INFANTRY DIVISION | DARKEST HOUR: NORMANDY 1944

ENLISTMENT PROCESS

The Enlistment Process

Those wishing to enlist with the 29th Infantry Division must first understand the following:

1. We do not care about your in-game skill
Our Basic Training program will teach you all the skills you need to know to get by in a realism scrimmage. After Basic Training, our AIT program will teach you enough about your weapon to make you much better at the game. Some of the worst players in Darkest Hour have turned into some of the best riflemen after two or three weeks in the 29th.

2. You might get yelled at
This is just a game, but we provide a realistic experience for everyone that turns out quite enjoyable. If in Basic Training you are wondering why someone is yelling at you, don't take it personally - it's their job. Just turn on Full Metal Jacket and be thankful that Gunnery Sergeant Hartman isn't your Drill Sergeant.

3. Our schedule is easy
Some get overwhelmed when they find out the Basic Training schedule - realize that we understand if you cannot attend a day or two, but that we ask you to attend as many as possible. More importantly, after Basic, your schedule is roughly two hours per week -- and you can miss those if something comes up! There are so many different drill times that we can always work something out to fit your schedule.
