yeah, if I just move out of the DC area, rent would drop by at least half. There's towns I could move to 30 miles south where rent would be like 700 a month for a townhouse I could split with roommates. This paying all my money for rent and shit is getting rediculous. heh, maybe I'll just go live with my friends in their dirty old house, since they are only paying like 150 each per month to live there.

Anyway, I've got a lot to think about. But right now I have to go back to work and finish this job. Thank you all for your helpful advice and may love and light shine on ye all :smile: :heart: :sun:




yo i hear ya man. i'm up here too and its insanely expensive. the prices have skyrocketed here, my parents bought theyre house here in nova about 17 years ago at 270,000 and its now worth easily over 500,000. im living back with my parents, making around what you make. its nearly impossible to rent around here making what we make.

i'd move further south in VA or out towards west va but theres hardly any jobs there. in my case i'm just saving up enough money to move south also, but to florida probably. a lot cheaper places to live but of typically you dont make as much money there. i've lived in nova almost all my life and need to get outta this place

I know this may sound crazy... but lots of people are making good money with jobs like - http://jobsearch.monster.com/jobsearch.asp?q=kuwait&re=0&sort=rv&tm=&vw=b&cy=US&brd=1%2C1862%2C1863

Many people who are work one year contracts in Kuwait are doing very well.  Do a little homework and you will find that Kuwait is a REALLY nice place.  Its not Iraq, Israel, etc...  Kuwait has a very strong economy and has little/no violence.  So many people make the assumption that Kuwait is as violent as Iraq and other Middle Eastern countries that  they see on TV.  When in Reality, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Jordan and many other Middle Eastern Countries aren't bad place. 

"US-GA-Kuwait-Wheel Vehicle Mechanic - Kuwait - $52k++, Tax-Free"

Can you change tires :smile: 

"US-CA-Kuwait-Firefighter - Kuwait - $56k++, Tax-Free"

If you did this, you could come back here and probably get a job with any Fire Station in the US :smile:

All this for one years work.  Get all of your medical work done.  Make some money TAX FREE and one year is definitely better than 4

Its just another option.

Jesus christ man...  you're saying HE'LL be brainwashed...  you've brainwashed yourself.

Quote:

you have a beutifull mind! potentials, possibilities! all that will be gone when you put on that uniform and pick up that gun. You will have traded your divine god given human potentials for the chance to be a machine of death, one of billions of soldiers throughout history, killing and being killed for reasons they dont understand, with the spoils of their work going to the rich who never had to see or spill a drop of blood. 




Is he going to immediatly cease being shroomism?  He's not inhabited by satan, hes probably repairing broken devices in the comfort of a base. God'll never forgive that will he?  :tongue2:


My dad enlisted durring vietnam....  he ended up repairing things in germany, like he asked...  they didnt trick him, they put him right where he signed up for...  thats one advantage the army has over all the others.  You sign up for a job, and a place, and its guaranteed to you.  The airforce and navy?  You sign up for a field, like electrical, and they put you somewhere they need someone.

i mean if you can get a job in a reasonably safe area doing non combative work, ok , maybe thats a good option.

Im just saying, dont kill for money, dont die for money,

and ive heard from many people what combat service is like, and almost universally they say 'when you join the army you stop being a person, and when you get out its hard to get it back' ya know, to that effect.

the only branch he may have a chance of really being completely brainwashed is marines. army is almost as bad. the marines go through the toughest bootcamp, when they really just want to strip you of your personality and you become just a number, a killing machine property of uncle sam.
the air force's is cake compared to marines bootcamp.

I want to sincerly thank everyone for their advce in this thread, and the support I have been receiving through PMs. I've made my decision.. and I am NOT going to join the military. You all make very good points, and it is just not worth it to me. Just today, we got a ton of new work that will keep our schedule busy for the next two months, and I should get a good amount of overtime and extra pay in...

I'm going to be looking into electrical training to get a journeymans license, as I've been doing electrical work for almost a year with a master electrician, so I think I would just have to brush up on a few things, maybe do it a little longer, and take the test.

Goobler - hurricane relief in florida sounds pretty good.. but isn't hurricane season almost over? I thought it was only like 3 months of the year. Anyway, that's still a possibility, my band wants to get out of the area, and perhaps I could convince them to move south and we could get a place down there.. I know it's like ten times cheaper to live down there. Plus, Tampa has the best metal scene in the US :wink:, at least it used to.

So to everyone that PMed me with your concerns, I'm not going to do it. Thank you all for your support it really means a lot to me :smile:

Me.. I'm just going to put the gear to the grindstone or whatever the fuck that term is, work my ass off, save & spend more wisely, and just see where the universe guides me.

Love, Light and Good Vibes to all of you :sun:

Annnnnnd I had a light saber and my friend was there and I said "you look like an indian" and he said "you look like satan" and he found a stick and a rock and he named the rock ooga booga and he named the stick Stick and we both thought that was pretty funny. We got eaten alive by mosquitos but didn't notice til the next day. I stepped on some glass while wading in the swamp and cut my foot open, didn't bother me til the next day either....yeah it was a good time, ended the night by buying some liquor for minors and drinking nips and going to he diner and eating chicken fingers, and then I went home and went to bed.

I just got out of the military after a 6 year contract.  Your title is asking for advice so here it is.  Don't join.

5 year necro.  Shroomism still posts here though, so I'm guessing he *didn't* join the military.

LOL at bringing back a 6 year old thread.

But yea, I'm sure shroomism is looking back, and glad he didn't join :smile: Things just went downhill.

Joining the military is a cop out if your heart isn't fully in it. I'd rather be who I am, live the way I want, and find a way to afford my bills and rent, which is what I am doing now :smile:

yea I know a guy who is doing that Army scholarship for college (covers tuition up to 100g's) in return for 4 years in the Army reserves + 4 more years of service after he gets out of college (he'll still get paid for the service).. Hes planning to get that over with then start a family once he gets out and use his college degree to get a job.
So by the time he gets out he will be like 26 and the fun part of his life would be pretty much over.
Thats a pretty big comitment at such a young age and a huge gamble in regards to banking on getting a job w/ his college degree once he gets out
It's def. a smart move to avoid the military at all costs IMO, because it will skew your views and leave you with a life long mind fuck of the entire experience...
