I'll give you my account of the military, first off I'm in the reserves now, I'm also a 03xx which they don't really give you a job title anymore I signed up in 04 to be a mortarman and when I went to Iraq I was humping a radio on foot patrols and manning machineguns... My vehicle was totaled 3 seperate times by IED's (improvised explosive devices) we were attacked by a makeshift chemical weapon (chlorine gas) and I about lost my head quite a few times ducking under RPG's so now when anyone makes a loud noise I duck for cover and everyone thinks I'm weird... I also have a left shoulder, left ankle injury from Iraq... a Traumatic brain injury, and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder... I have to have medication just to sleep so if your brother decides to join up tell him to pick the infantry for the Marine Corps! best friends I've ever made. And I might be compensated for my injuries for the rest of my life SWEET! anyway Iraq does suck and it is very dangerous, although I don't know it has been a year since I was there. Anyway some MOS's get to sit in some pretty sweet bases over there and there are some super sexy marine/ army chicks that gave me some pics of them mud wrestling and I have to say they had it made compared to how I had it. Anyway that's just my 2 cents! P.S. RECRUITERS WILL TELL YOU ANYTHING AND PROMISE ANYTHING TO YOU TO SIGN THE LINE!

not to rain on your parade esp if you are being honest (which i doubt), but you sound like a poser. first off i have never seen enlisted reserves 11 series that wasnt a DS. second off radios, heavy guns, and foot patrols....thats what most combat MOS's do aside from tankers, you should have know that (esp when it comes to modern combat). Third, if you are claiming disability you would know how the system works. I know several with either MTBI or PTSD, none of them think its great because of the money.
My guess is you are fairly new, never been deployed, and are simply regurgitating clips of what you have heard from others. If you are making this up you are a sad individual and a disgrace to fallen vets everywhere. if not, i think you have a very skewed personality and i apologize.
sorry to all for keep this topic going btw

no guy, I'm not posing... Reserves 0341 crosstrained as a 51 and radio man! My deployment to Iraq was with a weapons company I was a GIB(guy in the back) and that meant I was also on foot quite often. I've done everything that modern combat entails and I've seen a lot of freakin action. I've been in since 04. I am infantry 03, wanna see some friggin pictures? I went for a compensation and pension appointment last month...the V.A. system is jacked up and they don't tell me anything so no I don't know how the system works. I wait for them to send me a letter and then I goto the specified appointment. why do you think I'm posing anyway... wtf... and by the way I was in Fallujah with 1/24 from 06-07

They want to experiment with various species, substrates, and fruiting environments. They'll move on to isolate strains, attempt hybridization, and in general treat cultivation as an artform, rather than a chore that must be performed as a means to an end. They'll work twice as hard for a ten percent gain, just for the love of perfection. These are the ones who will isolate strains, not the dumb fucks who treat mushrooms as a drug, or even worse, a pathogen, as if mushrooms cause disease. RR [/quote]

i got dismissed from the military service for life for "mental issues".
depends how bad he wants to get out of it.
one of my friend flunked the psych test by having a dreamy look on his face and saying weird stuff, like when the psychiatrist asked him start up questions like what school does he go to or where he lives he'd look out the window and say "you can't see it from here..."
but he only got a year off for more tests, sucks to be him.

Tell him to join the Coast Guard! Full tuition payed, OCS right after graduation, basic training between sophmore and junior year. Even enlisting in the coast guard with no collee means a shorter service term than army/navy but with all the benefits

we have a mandatory recruiting system here so everyone that has their limbs and a head screwed on must go take the tests like bloodwork and whatever + psych test. my physical body is okay though i can't do push ups but yeah i have mental problems.
long story short what it boiled down to was i talked for an hour, she kept typing something and didn't say anything. she printed the page out, stapled it shut and told me to take it to the evaluation office. outside the office i kind of ripped the paper open and read the end where she had written something in the terms of "unability to work in a group or function with other people".
i kind of fly off the handle easy and want to do everything my way and if i can't do that i wanna blow the whole thing up and ruin it for everyone, i feel like my blood gets hot and fired up and i just want to yell at everyone and smash shit up, from babies to grunts double my size and yeah... i kind of knew i was out of place but i didn't want full on schizo papers because i can't get a driving license with that.
