Is any one else looking to join the millitary when they are older. I want to be a navy SEAL.

I hope to, probably AF, not sure though..

my brother wants to go into the Marine Corps. He's inspired by the "First to Fight" motto they have. Plus, I think him playing Halo has something to do with it as well. lol.

I'm planning on commissioning into the Army as an officer through ROTC.

I've been interested, but i don't think it's my calling (and i don't want to die), but i know a number of people who want to join the military, whether the Army Rangers (my brother and a classmate), and several friends who might join the AF

Don't join the military just yet if you know what's good for you. That's all I'm saying.

well, somebody has to, or we'll have no army!! i think that only people who really feel called to join the military should do so. it very serious, but there are those people

Actually, I have to agree with IMNC. Granted, I have a deep respect for the men and women in uniform. I dont want to get political here, but all of our servicemen are being sent to fight a groundless war in a country that we didn't have any business in. Please don't get mad at me, I'm just expressing my opinion and I don't want to start a huge debate.

DE-BATE!!! DE-BATE!!! *chanting* DE-BATE!!! DE-BATE!!!

*pre-post note*-this is not political, but about current events.

it wasn't pointless. it was to topple a corrupt and cruel regime that had, at sadam's command, killed many, many innocent Kurds. it was to stop the threat of terrorism, protect innocents, both US and otherwise, from it, and the threat of chemical weapons. i realize we found none, but even w/o that, Sadam still deserved justice, and it was our duty, as some of the primary heads of democratic ideals, to stop such tyranny.

(this is where it might get a tad political) I support Bush, and beleive that he has done a far better job leading our country in highly difficult times than many others would have. its easy to critize in afterthought, to be a "backseat driver". Most americans agreed that we should go to war then, but now, in hindsight, you disagree. Hypocracy if i ever saw it!! while the war might not have gone as smoothly as it might, it still was the right thing to do (end of political rant).

It can't be any better than that I find army very pointless and I'm defintely not going to join it.

If there wasnt armies there will be no vulnerability to others That would be great but I'm afraid it's never going to happen, human is too dumb animal

when i'm older i want to be a US Army Rnager.

Siegemaster, if Bush is such a great president, then how come he's spying on our phones and websites? How come he vetoed a bill that would have nationalized CHILDREN'S HEALTH CARE when there are millions of Americans out there who can't afford health insurance? How come the threat of terrorist attack is higher than ever before? Why is the surplus that we had at the end of the Clinton administration completely gone and our economy is headed towards recession? Hate to break it to ya, buddy, but Bush is extremely unpopular right now. Even Republicans are starting to hate him. And yes, I do pay attention to politics. I watch MSNBC and the Senate/House sessions on a regular basis.

sorry, the war part wasn't, but....

i'm not saying war is right, not at all, but w/o an army, millions of americans will die. and ILS, think of it this way: being the President is one of the toughest jobs in the world, and someone will always disagree with what you say. i don't know what his reasons, but whatever they were, i'm sure he had them. just pointing out that he's done a better job than a lot fo people would have done....hilary clinton, for example.

no more politics, or someone will actually get mad at me, rather than just give me a very polite reprimandation

agreed. let's stop the political discussion now before this topic gets locked.

ok but wat is the point of the war going on now? you dont have anything to do there!

would never go in the army, but I might consider the secret services "canadian one's of course"

gotcha Firetongue. no more Iraq debates. *takes a mental note*

agreed. on the topic of secret services, i'm reading the new alex rider right now, and he's working for the ASIS, i think is the Australian Secret Inteligence service, but he usually works for MI6, though twice he works with the CIA. lots of services. idk what canada's is called

maybe, maybe. there are so many differnt services, even in each country. its funny how everyone has operatives in every country, even allies

Wikipedia is a good source for anything, the canadian secret services are called Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) and since canada is also a french speaking country they have a french name, Service canadien du renseignement de sécurité (SCRS)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian_S ... ce_Service

In the United Arab Emirates where I currently live they call it the C.I.D., but I don't know what it stands for.

OK, I hadn't known that. C.I.D. ......, maybe Central Intelligence something or other? department?

Never would I join the army. It's the #1 way to get seriously hurt or killed.

I dont feel like I was called with my personal duty to join army. My personal duty is to keep alive together with people important to me and it has nothing to do with my country.

yeah, that's pretty much my feelings on things. its interesting, but i'd prefer to stay alive

it would be fun to be in U.S.M.C for a day or two but if only i was fighting for a cause!

Army reps came to our school today. I had no plans on joining (me in the army?) and anyway had Drivers.

I'd love to join the military...Planning on joining the Air Force when I'm old enough. Better get in shape though

lol, I really need to get in shape, I need to be able to run a 15:50 two miles. It shouldn't be that hard, but i've never ran more than a mile and a half before.

Minus the victory run for encampment fronzz

Which one? 8th or 9th CTG? It didnt seem like 9th took that long...

8th CTG, the 9th CTG wasn't too bad at all.

Ah, yeah...the CTG ran SOOOO much slower than the SDS ran all week....I was so relieved haha

The second and third days, my flight rand soooo slow, and everyone of them but 2 cadets dropped out. Lt. Puckett and Lt. McGillick were so mad they decided to run with my flight the entire time...good time, good times.

After my SEAL training i run a 30 min 4 mile not bad. eh

NOt bad at all

Okay now I have to say that after I get out of college and get established in life I might join the millitary. Go for the Army or Air Force. Probably the Air Force.

Air Force baby! High Flyin' Air Force

Your avatar really adds to your enthusiasm

If you are looking into the Air Force or the Army I would base it off of your interests. If you are a more hardcore military person the Army, if you are interested in a more civilian style life with some military characteristics the Air Force is more up your ally.

Every one has to watch this http://www.axpdf.com/wake/index.htm good stuff.


Yeah Im going into the the Navy, then SEALs Hooyah. Can't wait only one more year.

I would like both though thats the problem....well if I go in it wont be for like 4 or 5 years at the earliest so i can wait to decide

That was a pretty sweet vid...btw isn't it "Hoorah in the Navy.

Nope thats the marines. SEALs say Hooyah

Hm...you learn something new everyday I guess.

Yeh...I just contracted with the Active Duty Army for four years after College and ROTC.

Are you gonna be goin to MSU, or SMSU for that? I cant remember, lol.

and isnt the army handing out scholarships left and right these days?

I am going to MSU, that's not totally correct. 8 people were rejected from getting scholarships. They only had 6 to hand out.

My bro got a Army ROTC scholarship, he is going to SVSU

lol, i wouldn't really want to join the military, but if i did, i would want to be a SOCOM/Sniper roflmao...sniping is just...awesome, ive done it on a shooting range.

Sniping real people I imagine is a bit harder, both with skill and on the mind...

ya, i know, but usually, i heard from a guy at the army, if someone did something extremely horrible, u dont really mind putting a bullet in them but i dont think that way, so i guess it depends on a persons point of view.

But as a sniper, it is possible for you to be required to shoot someone without giving them a chance.

Yeah, it depends on your point of view. I know I could not snipe people, I could not do it in cold blood. I do not want to join the army, because I don't want to get shot somewhere half way around the world. Maybe the surface navy, or something.

Yeah, I can see what the army guy was getting at: if someone hurt someone I cared about, I might want to put a bullet into them.

WEll, usually when ur a sniper, and u give them a chance, you will either a)get shot and fail ur mission or b)die... so i guess being a sniper would be like saying "kill to live".

I meant assassinations.
In wartime, it happens.
That's why I couldn't be a sniper.

to be a good sniper you have to have a really strong mind. Imagine it , you see the way the person dies, and you know for sure it's your bullet that put an end to that persons life.

Infantrymen at least have the choice of saying, "who says it's my bullet that killed them?"

My sister's joinin the national gaurd and my cuzin wants to be a navy seal

I recieved an Army Reserve Officer Training Corps Scholarship. I absolutely love the Army, probably the best thing i've ever done with myself!!!

Right now i'm a lowly private, but in only four years, I will be a Lieutenant. Hopefully this summer i'll get an Airborne school slot.
