You may choose to go back to 2003 (in the scenario, your age would be warped to an age appropriate for service) and serve and fight as part of a US tank crew going into the Iraq War. The challenge is that you have to stay in Iraq for 3 years (this would extend into the counter-insurgency). If you are sent back, severely wounded, or discharged in any way, you fail the challenge. To succeed the challenge, you must remain in the tank division throughout.
Please assume that the US military would let you stay and fight for 5 years as a tank crew member (unless you are severely injured, seriously misbehave, or start to show signs of being unfit for active duty).
The challenge would start months before the actual war so you would receive proper combat training and know how to operate the tank.
What’s the reward?
The reward is that you get to bless up to 10 selected individuals (including yourself) and they will receive unlimited and legal free tuition credits for all education levels unrestricted. The blessed parties would still have to apply and be accepted to those institutions. However, as a bonus, the probability of acceptance for all applications would be raised by 10 percent points (so if your chance of being accepted to Stanford was 0.01 percent, it would be 10.01 percent now).
Also, let’s add the stipulation that you can choose a permanent assigned role for the whole tour:
1. Loader
2. Gunner
3. Driver
4. Commander
After the challenge (of if you fail), you’ll be teleported back to this timeline (and be restored to current age). However, any injuries sustained would remain.
Do you accept this? Yes? No? Why? If you say yes, which tank role would you choose and why?
Go.
