Go for it!
I'm a Gulf war veteran myself. It paid for my college education. I had a great time while I was in. There were good and bad times. I learned alot about myself. I would recommend it to those who are in good physical condition too.
As far as the nay-sayers, I killed no one. I would have if I had too. Big fucking deal.
Peace to the tree huggers. Only 13B infantry will have the opportunity to kill anyone. I was a radio operator. I may have killed a few worms hammering a ground rod into the soil.  :smirk:

its not a big scam, my brothers in the reserves, 2 days a month (paid as 4 days) , and 2 weeks in the summer, and they pay like 90% of his college tuition and shit... so he gets like 2k in the summer for that 2 week thing, and 200 and somethin bucks a month, plus most of college paid for...

pros
GI Bill (college fund), travel, discipline , stay in shape, techinical education, medical coverage, benifits

cons
isolation, lack of freedom, haircuts, drug tests, laziness, red tape/bullshit, being a mechanical puppet

your choice but definetly talk to alot of people who have been in the military or currently in the military, listen to their reasons on why they joined..

is the military right for you?

and they make up for the lack of women with free porn ^_^

the people fighting in them don't do so because "Hey! I want to kill people!" its because they want to defend their country.

I can't see that killing people for a political motive is defensible. I couldn't even contemplate joining the military. My sanity is also important to me. Fuck a life of post traumatic stress disorder IF you survived. Reliving events, lability, hyperarousal, anger, depression, insomnia, nightmares.........fun.

Their are SOOOoooo many good Pros, I have only one Con..

You dont get to chose what you want for work.

No matter what you go in as and want to be trained in, your job may have nothing to do with it at all.. Wana learn satellites and communications? Good but your gona be a cashier at the BX, report their then go to class. Wana be a Mechanic? Thats great but your job is passing out equipment at the rec hall and picking up towels in the locker room...

The majority of people who sign up for a short time get stuck with some lame civilian type job which they have to do 40 + hours a week on top of all their training in whatever it is that they chose.

Still the benefits outweigh everything...

Bullshit Gabba,
Don't know where you heard that. I served with thousands, not hundreds, of people who ALL worked in the field they were trained in. As far as I go, I trained as a radio operator but now I'm a network engineer as a civilian. I trained on 30 year old equipment but operated the latest tactical satellite equipment.
You don't know what you're talking about. :wink: Let some of the people who are going nowhere, go somewhere. We're not all rich people who can afford college or who want to pay back college grantsfor the REST of their lives as opposed to serving 2-4 years maybe doing something that they enjoy. Time goes pretty quick in the military. I regret ever getting out, especially with the state of the economy being what it is.

There are no "pros" to the military.  Although there is a very real benifit to you, think about what you are contributing to.....
:"Defense of your country?" join once the arabs attack the USA, otherwise call it what you will, justify as you will, just dont think too deeply ......and you will finish your service, get your free schooling, and work your high paying job, until you have a new car, family, and false sense of ego materialstic happiness. 

It saddens me how we can be so blind..... :frown:

I enlisted straight out of high school. It was what I wanted to do all my life, I went in 11b (infantry) and figured i would re-up and get some college when i figured out what i wanted to do with my life.

diabetes changed that and i got out after 2 years on a medical discharge.

Basically the questions you need to ask yourself are -

are you willing to give up your constitutional rights to protect them for all other americans?

are you willing to kill/die for someone else's policy?

If you can say yes to both with no reservation, go for it... if you are arguing about haircuts and college benefits, please stay out, you may get someone killed.

This is a voluntary thing to submit yourself to the armed forces. It is not a huge mistake, nor are the people who join the armed forces stupid people. It is a great accomplishment to show such selflesness for your country.

Personally, if I have difficulty getting in to University (due to this damn double cohort year) I'll probably take the SEAL challenge. Why? Because for once, I want to do something important, rather than sit around getting high all the time, making conspiracy theories about the government, police, etc, are all out to get me.

PS. Yes, I'm an american citizen, despite living in Canada.

You seriously think that joining the military is something important?!

What are the wars and conflicts of humanity in the grand scheme of things? in the end nothing you do will change anything, if only people would think peace as important and move towards a higher goal.

Azmodeus,
Think about it. If all other countries are armed and we're not. Our military helps protect our way of life from people like Hitler, or Stalin. Ever heard of them?

Here's a quote, by whom, i'm not sure:
'You sleep well in your beds at night because a few men are willing to commit unspeakable acts on your behalf'

I just love all of these peacenicks with their heads buried in the sand. Sorry that the rest of the world doesn't abide by YOUR love thy neighbor attitude.

Why can't we all just "get a;long? Get real!
