Thinking about joining the military
    #14553945 - 06/03/11 01:22 AM (12 years, 7 months ago)

So I'm a 28 year old female who wants to do something worth while with my life, and also travel.  Can any pubbers give me some advice on which branch of the military to consider?

Do you find the reasons our armies fight to be worthwhile?  If you do we are on two different levels, and I couldn't offer advice other than heed the wise words of Bill Hicks.

Maybe look into the Peace Corps or some other humanitarian group.  I think they should bring back the Civilian Conservation Corps so there would be an alternative for those who lack direction but don't want to be part of the problem.

I feel the war is not over sees but in our own territory. The problems are in our own land. There are far more corrupt issues to work on.Adding which is unnecessary is not something I would condone. Here's a neat speech

Navy.

Air Force is great if you are an officer, but otherwise you're nobody.
In the Navy, you really get to do thangs. Even females, which is less true in other branches.

Plus, let's face it- women's dress whites are are cute as can be.

do it girl.

are you fit? I am joining the navy and trying out for aviation rescue swimmer. Women can be rescue swimmers too. If you wanted something exciting you could do that.

I think the coast guard would be great too. Alot of their jobs look fun. They also have rescue swimmers.

sign up for the right job and you can get a bonus. Rescue swimmer is 15,000.

the military is a wonderful vocation - but people do it because they need to, otherwise they wash out.  there is a lot more to it than being a trigger puller.  most people not combat arms serve their entire 20 without ever pulling a trigger or lining up on someone.  as far as people who discredit the service, the military gets paid to give ignorant bastards a chance to say whatever they want without ending up castrated and dead or raped, as two recent high profile cases in the middle east have shown. 

  The time line that you have to do so is, however, limited.  if you want to know more, just drop me a PM.

If you want to travel, join the navy and get a ship-based MOS (job). If you like the idea of being a brainwashed asstard, join the army or the Marines. If you want a highly technical job and not much exercise, join the Air Force. If you want to put out forest fires and help with natural disasters, join the Army National Guard.

This being said, I was in the Marines. I hated it and got out "Terminal Lance" and glad I did.

i did 4 years in the coast guard and they really take care of you. but whatever branch you choose go into aviation it's laid back fun and you can actually get a good job when you get out like a flight mechanic

So much hate for the people who defend your freedom to spew your hippie bullshit :picard:

Navy for females for sure do you have any kids or married? Any college? Talk to a recruiter. As long as you realize your ass is there for 5 years it aint to bad.

Air force and coast guard have long waiting list and well there for pussy any way

if you don't believe in murder or slavery or rape, but your neighbor does, build a strong fence.  then, as teddy said, hire rough men to stand on it while you sleep comfortably - or don't.  but don't cry about the fence that keeps you safe.  your desire to believe in a better world comes from your better world.  go to the middle east.  it is a damn sight far away from this better world which we call america and all others call empire.  they don't believe in your better world, and are jealous that you can.

There is NO difference between fundamentalist in the US and in the Muslim countries.
Both are fighting the infidels, the good fight, cause their god is right.

coast guard and navy are for pussy's ? obviously you have know idea how any branch of the military works i know the cg has the second hardest boot camp next to the marines if anything the army is the easy way out it takes no brains and boot camp is like summer camp and navy boot camp is easy also. the physical part of military life and boot camp is the easy part. the mental part is what makes it tough and the cg is right at the top along with the marines

Damn right if they are doin things like slaughtering women and children for petty shit and stoning victims of rape while living under strict religious backwater laws.

That go agaist basic human rights and principles you hippes so love to accuse the arm forces of breaking.

Fact is IED Taliban ect killed far more then any amount of air strikes  motors ect on our side.

If they are willing to kill there own people on such a massive scale what does that say about them?

  Not the freedoms themselves, but what we do with them.  and it isn't the same as here.  television, free press, education - these are not the birthright of the masses.  If you haven't been there, if you haven't dealt with it, it would be very difficult for people to understand the mentality.  The need.  The desperation.  The propoganda.  The futility.  In america, there is always an option, always a person who will help you.  you may have to pay for it, but there ya go - capitalist society at it's finest.  in the middle east, you have your place. that is it.  Anybody else gets killed, or if you are a woman - burned with kerosene.

Most of us peace loving hippies do NOT hate the military, as in the individuals doing their jobs, we hate what they are being ordered to do (ie: invading foreign countries for questionable reasons) I have plenty of friends in various branches, and all I wish is that they come home safely.

Secondly, the fact that you bring religion into this is a major :facepalm: This is not the crusades jackass, we went to fight terrerizm, making this a religious fight is disgusting on a whole 'nother level.

Then send those rough men into your neighbor's yard at night to antagonize the fuck out of him. If he starts to hate you for it, then antagonize his ass to the point where your neighbor starts throwing rocks at your house. Then you'll have a good reason to send the rough men out once more, and this time to take your neighbor down. Shift the fence to the next house, and redo the whole thing from the top.

Look, I see the use of an army, I really do. But sooner or later we'll have to face that we need our armies because of our insanely superior position (in terms of economic returns and prosperity), which we acquired by systematically extorting the living daylights out of natural resources and, most of all, other people. That's what we need armies for: to keep it that way. To keep ourselves rich and the others poor. As long as you subscribe to that idea, then the idea of a strong army such as the US Army is valid. But if you don't buy into that, IMO you have all the right to criticize any army. Note that I'm not a US citizen; I'm from Europe. But we're all in the same boat.

don't buy into that, IMO you have all the right to criticize any army.




  You aren't wrong.  I am american, and unlike the majority of people, I believe that america stopped being a democracy about 180 years ago, right about when they started involving themselves clandestinely in african politics.  America is an Empire, and Empire must grow.  I love my country, but believe it needs work.  I don't really see the point of dictating the flaws of any on nation - each has their own in largesse. But I will not choose a point and blindly defend it with cries of 'MERICA! HOOOAH!. 

  However.  I am. an. american.

Oh yeah, I'm not contesting the validity of your argument. Nor am I pointing out the flaws in your country in particular; as I said, we're all in the same boat here in the West. And we thrive off the unbalanced wealth.

None.

Though I hear from outside sources that the Coast Guard is pretty cushy, travel around the world to exotic locations (sometimes), best food in the armed forces, good pay, low chance of seeing crazy action or killing people, you are mostly saving people. This was from a guy in the air force though.

BAD CHOICE.

15,000 bonus is just not worth it.  it should only be used as a LAST option.

youll make about $9 an hour and work for the military complex.  minus the fact that youre helping people kill others, you will just have a bad job and no source of getting things done.  i can make it making $9 an hour but ie i sell things on craigslist and ebay and can do small jobs like paint or roof.

15 years ago they gave out 30,000-40,000 sign up bonuses.

this speaks a lot about what theyre doing here.. gas was under a buck a gallon of milk was $1.25


$9 an hour is :thumbdown: x 1000

lmao... all these hippies giving advice about joining the military is like... vegans telling me what cut of steak to eat

military isnt a bad life choice.. if u can stick it out for a decade atleast youll get a pension and lots of benefits.... 20 years mean ur set for life.... go coast guard or navy if u like seeing the world and dont want to do to much manual labor.

:awethumb: do what makes you happy, fuck these hippies

Hippies, LOL. I'd be surprised if 10% of the people in this thread are 'hippies'.
I've got mixed feelings about the military. I know a few people who served and enjoyed it, got something out of it. I know one who was a sniper and killed like 300+ people and now he's all fucked up in the head. The rest either despise it or are dead so I can't really get their opinion on the situation.

Military defending our freedoms? That's a big fucking joke. When's the last time America was attacked and the military defended us? Oh Vietnam right, or was it Korea, or Panama, or Iraq, or Afghanistan?
When is the last time our military defended our constitution? Last I checked they are paid goons to protect opium fields and oil.

We're the ones jetting around the world murdering other weaker countries with our superior firepower, they need militaries to defend from us. Get it right.

I have two friends, a guy and a gal that joined the Air force. Both have made careers out if it and have traveled to many counties. I haven't talked to either of them in a couple years but they both seemed happy last time I caught up with them.

Also joining the military was the last thing I ever thought they would do when I knew em prior. Can't be that bad retirement from the service sounds pretty good later in life.

i like hippies just as much as i like cops

if the military still gave huge bonuses i would join..

15,000 is a lot when you think about it.. but you can get a better job from doing 6 month course for a trade easily :smirk:

i dont see the appeal

america has all of the worlds wonders pretty much

and the WWW has many cool vids/pics of wonders..

"Hippies", being stereotypically pacifist, generally show more respect for human life than the group they are set apart from.  To take that and say that they are assholes because they disagree with those who choose to perpetuate war is to say that they are assholes for dreaming of a better world, even if their dreams may seem unrealistic to you.

I just don't like it when people basically say, 'Fuck you and your beliefs, they're over there killing to defend your right to say that they should not kill'  That just makes no sense to me; defeats the purpose of saying it in the first place.  I know that the military will not go away soon and realize that some of the things that they do are good, even humanitarian.  At the core however, if you truly see all people as equals, is a destructive mentality which places politics over a basic respect for life.  It could easily be the end of us all if we do not manage to rein it in. 

Maybe I wouldn't be saying this if I were brought up in the middle east, or even 1950s America.  I am not totally naieve; at different points in my life have considered joining the military myself, and I have friends that I respect very much who are in active service.  I do feel that there is a better way and I would rather be killed by a terrorist than accept the fact that things could not be better for us all, if we were only to learn to accept one another.

Personally, I don't think that the military would be the worst thing for me, or many others, but in the big picture I would be feeding into a system that I fundamentally disagree with.  This is why I say that it would not be worthwhile to join, not because I have any hatred in my heart for those that do.

Thinking about joining the military because you'd like to travel may be a bit deluded. You'll of course travel but in a commanded environment, military isn't about wandering through new countries and there are other ways of doing it without killing that country's civilians for example. As to doing something worthy with your life, if you do believe in perpetuating war then you're definitely on the right track.

Maybe being a flight attendant could be a better option, and there's no murder involved, unless you're into that sort of thing OP.
