Who on the shroomery is or has been in the military?
    #22349290 - 10/08/15 09:34 AM (8 years, 3 months ago)

I am really curious about how many / who on the shroomery are or have been in any branch or aspect of the military.

Please post what branch or part of the military you are or were in and as much detail as you can share about what you do, how long you have done it, why you got into it, how you like it, and any experiences you have had.

I am watching this documentary today and using it as motivation while I work out:

I almost went into the Airforce, I was on the waiting list to get shipped to boot camp. I got fucked over because some guy cut me off on the freeway one morning and I love tapped his car, claimed his back was hurting and I had to wait until the case was over before they could ship me out... It took almost 5 months before the case was over and by that time I landed a slightly better then average job so I ended up not leaving.

I kinda wish I did get shipped out but now I have a fiancée :laugh:.. I was so pissed when I hit that guy :/ I fucked up my candy apple red iroc-z

I almost never considered the army, then I did, and dismissed the idea immediately. I'm not gonna die for a country that isn't mine under pretenses of democracy or anti-terrorism or whatever else they come up with. I'll fight if the fight comes here. Do you seriously expect me to care enough about completely strangers whose values I completely disagree with and a religion I disagree with even more? Fuck that shit. I'm not gonna sweat all day and freeze all night in a god damn desert wasteland...

Just because you're in the military doesn't mean you have to be in an active combat position

I've considered joining up with the Air Force but still kinda on the fence about it, I don't want to spend years of my life in there and have it not pay off in the end

There's too many veterans who end up screwed over unable to find a job

My dad was in the AF and said they call in the chair force for a reason. He got to travel around the world and they paid for college. All in all he makes it sound like a pretty god gig.

Yea some people say it's a good way to go and others say it's not

Guess it depends on what you go in for

I'd like to be an airplane mechanic that would be a cool job to me

Aircraft maintenance is big $$$

That is a solid goal. The worst you could expect is to sit around on an aircraft carrier, the best is a paid education and possibly a well paying job at an international airport or even working for Boeing. I'd say go for it.

I wanted to join the Air Force to be an aviation tech or maybe to be a pilot but I never got around to it.

I've been a military brat my whole life. Dad is retired navy and worked on computers. I have all my uncles in air force as well. Two work on mechanics and fly the jets. They absolutely love it. Was considering air force or navy. But decided not to pursue, now I kind of regret it.

I had step dad's in the Marines and I work on a military base. There's good parts and bad parts. I respect alot of em. Met a bunch of cool men and women of the military. Met alot of jerks as well.

Have taken the ASVAB every goddamn year of high school as well. Haha Was qualified for engineering in the air force.... now I regret it more. Aw well. It's not too late yet. But I've decided to become a teacher so that's already my path now.

If you're really considering it, it's really not that bad. Especially if you pursue college and decided to go for being an officer or enlisted to officer path. Good benefits honestly. Just be smart with your money, bc depending on where you are it won't be that much in the beginning. Or so I'm told.

I was in the army till I lost my shit.  I know many of the older posters were in at some point.

Lots of them come back and disappear and most dont talk about it. Mostly due to the fact everyone gets all butthurt and calls you murders and shit. :picard:

Sounds like you've heard this before Trek.

I was active duty Combat Engineer during OIF 1. While the majority of you were wetting diapers and doing homework, I was clearing roads of IEDs by hand. I thought I was doing good work until I got home and realized my countrymen could give a fuck less. American Idol and reality TV was more important than the War where the real heroes were dying.

My town waved the flag proclaiming we support our troops, til I get home and see they misspelled my name on the hometown hero memorial. Made me wish I was dead.


Long story short, I and my brothers are disappointed in the rest of you.

You are all pussy crybaby wieners.

When the next war pops off we will sit on the sidelines sipping lemonade while your pathetic generation gets drafted into the meat grinder of armed conflict.

Americans, and I use the term loosely, I hate you.

myc check - Yes there are disgusting people in America. Doesn't mean everyone is. There are plenty of TV reality obsessors who happen to be loyal veteran spouses, who have served multiple tours, and they can't even pretend to know what their husbands/wives have gone through. They give a shit. I give a shit. And there are veterans who know I do. I'm sorry you hate me.

There are still civilians who know where our freedom's protection comes from and are grateful for our cushy lives.

Trekie -  F*ck them.

:shitdude:
You don't get it do you?

You and every other citizen is equally responsible for everything our country does.
We have done NOTHING to stop it. All the average citizen does it bitch and moan.
And then when the troops return they shift the blame onto them instead of the realizing they are just as guilty as the troops and the elite.




:lol: So unless I participate in open revolution I'm as much to blame as the people who started the war? I sure as fuck didn't vote for any of them. And I'm not blaming the soldiers. A lot of people have the sense not to.

Sounds like a similar shpeel that the white guilt people have
