I enlisted into the Army Reserve this weekend. I have been planning on it for awhile and now that it's happened I'm pretty excited. I am shipping off to Basic January 9th.

Anyone on the Shroomery ever been in or is in the military?

You are about to get inundated with anti-war dreck from the legions of pitiful Lefties on this board.

Actually the mix between left and right is pretty even on this board.

I actually wouldn't mind getting deployed and seeing some combat. I'm not infantry so it doesn't really seem likely that I'd be on the front lines, but you never know.

My friends who actually saw action and came back are a bit fucked in the head. Not necessarily on a daily basis, but certain things trigger actions and ideas from the military that they instilled in them.

Like saying the word "kill" more than 10 times a day, everyday.

In the end, you are just going to be a peon for the governments plans. Weather or not you ed up risking your life.

On the other hand, its what you want to do, you feel it is your purpose, so I guess embrace away.

Yeah I understand that I'll be a slave to the man. But joining up is something I've wanted to do for awhile.

My ex actually just signed for the navy. she just wants the money, and they promise to pull her out of debt.

I'm going to be heavy construction equipment operator. I'm not even totally sure what I will be doing but I'm going to be trained pretty well and hopefully get a sweet civilian job when get back from training.

You gotta have super good eyes to be a sniper though.

Yeah the money is nice. I'm getting 20k just for enlisting. And I've already been promoted because I got my step-brother to sign his life away. I'm interested in the character building and if I get deployed somewhere that traveling would be nice.

don't let them brainwash you with sleep deprivation, constant regimen of routine, and drugged food.

the military operates just like a militant cult.

"America touts itself as the land of the free, but the number one freedom that you and I have is the freedom to enter into a subservient role in the workplace. Once you exercise this freedom you've lost all control over what you do, what is produced, and how it is produced. And in the end, the product doesn't belong to you. The only way you can avoid bosses and jobs is if you don't care about making a living. Which leads to the second freedom: the freedom to starve."

A part of me doesn't mind but then the other part says I might feel differently after it happened.

oh ok, kind of like the seabees?

i have excellent vision and i am already an excellent shot at 500 yeards with just a crappy rem. 7mm mag. i could do great things with the rifles the military has.

well i say i would if they could promise me sniper, but honestly i dont think i could spend the extended periods away from my woman. we both have friends that are in active duty and it is so stressful on them and their significant others. especially the ones with kids.

Wise statement. There is nothing you can do to prepare yourself for such a thing.

I'm the type of person that needs to be in control of his life at ALL times, so i respect your ability to just sign away your rights. takes guts.

Man is timid and apologetic; he is no longer upright; he dares not say "I think," "I am," but quotes some saint or sage. He is ashamed before the blade of grass or the blowing rose.Man postpones or remembers; he does not live in the present, but with reverted eye laments the past, or, heedless of the riches that surround him, stands on tiptoe to foresee the future. He cannot be happy and strong until he too lives with nature in the present, above time
