I've had 7 friends join the army, one join the navy, and one join the air force.

Seems they all have one thing in common, they aren't who they used to be.

I guess that after having all your rights taken away and being swore at the first 2 weeks, having your will broken, and being forced to ask to wipe your own ass will do shit to you mentally.

US Military = :thumbdown:

I remember someone saying in another post that the current day US is looking a lot like the pre-world war II germany.  I agree.

hahah, no shit? You mean they actually went out and experienced life and they aren't the same old drunk potheads you used to hang out with in high school? I wonder what they say about you? "That ol' Silven, what a wonderful towny, he'll be smoking pot and chasing HS chicks well into his 30's. Poor kid will never get anywhere"

Nice way to judge my friends and me you fucking piece of shit. :smile:

Obviously you're either a politician, a failure in life who is drowning in his own misery, or have already been through mind numbing bootcamp :smile:

You don't know me, I have attended college until I landed a graphic design position, and have went for training for multiple classes on Access Database creation and most recently SQL database programming, and soon I will be heading to corporate for training in ISO certification as I will be heading that up at my location.  Jesus.. I'm such a fucking failure, I should shoot myself.

Have a nice day, go FUCK YOURSELF. :thumbup:

Sorry to anyone other than looner that I offended with this post, as it's not my norm.

My dreams, as unrealistic as they seem to you and me as well, would involve me constantly travelling. I want to see so much of the world, but to do so you have to have income, and to have a high enough income you have to sacrifice your youth to get that much money..

I'm still looking for ways to do this. Many times the idea of just dropping everything, getting in my car, cashing out my bank account, and heading out has crossed my mind.. I just don't know how realistic this is. I guess half of the excitement of it all would be surviving day to day.. living each as an adventure.

Most people dream of having a family, getting a nice house, nice car, nice clothes, all that nice shit makes me sick though.

I'm just as happy with ragged cloth draped around my body with a six string acoustic guitar on my back walking down a dirt road toward the next town in Mexico.. but then again that's just what I envision, the reality would be me holding my stomach, mouth dry on the verge of dehydration or starvation with no where to sleep but under the trees (which isn't bad, I've done it before and like it). My only real fear is being stuck somewhere with no chance of leaving...

Anyone share my dream?

my older bro has had 2 tours in Iraq. He's back home and living with me now.

I guess in war-time, they can have you for up to 8 years if they want. That's a long time to have your life on contract.

I'm sure you have other options. If you arent raising a family, youre basically free to try and do anything right? And there are many financial aid options out there for going to school if you dont have the cash. I'm a junior now, got my Associates degree, and I've been living off loans and financial aid for over 2 years.

think about it

peace
