I am attempting to join the ARMY.

I think the thing I find most disturbing about this thread, is that when someone decides they want to go out and kill people for a living we should all pat them on the back and say how brave they are.

But the person who says 'that's not a good idea, you can do a lot better with your life' is the one that is 'rude' and 'trolling' and an 'asshole'

From where I'm sat, I'm not the one thats brainwashed. I'm glad that miles and boozeboxer are also talking some sence here.

I guess I do not see joining the military service and wanting to go kill people as being one and the same. As I've stated before very few service members have actually used lethal force. No Contest could just as easy be a clerk and only pick up his rifle 3-4 times a year to qualify.

So go and be clerk somewhere else.

Look correct me if I'm wrong but on an american football team it's rare that the quarter back scores the touchdown or kicks the field goal. He's still instrumental in scoring the points though right?

Get what I'm saying?

Of course you don't look at joining the military in that way. If the majority of the population did there would be much fewer people willing to sign up, fewer wars would happen. That wouldn't be good for the arms manufacturers or the military industrial complex.

There are only two people who touch the football everyplay. The center and the QB. The QB is instrumental on just about everying scoring play/drive so the analogy doesn't really work. Handling a battalion's finance paper work does not really equate to being the one indespensable cog in the nation's war machine.

I got a good friend in the Navy who has not spent a day in Iraq or Afghanistan but worked in Pakistan doing the flood relief, Haiti doing medical evacs and is now in Japan doing god knows what. My point is there is a huge amount of good being done by service members yet you seem totally fixated on the "every Soldier is a blood thirst killer"

You can do aid work in all thses countries without being in the military.

With job security and bodily protection?




Sorry, Im actually with you on this, only because I know exactly whos bidding i would be forced into doing if in there myself.

I can still see both sides of the issue though.

We cant just tar everyone with the same brush in or out of the forces.

If it stands still paint it, if it moves salute it

Update: Took the ASVAB, got an 89. Passed my MEPS physical, and got my job. 35w (Electronic Warfare Signal Intellegence Recruit,...I know it's a mouthful)Just have to pass a DLAB test and I'm off to boot camp April 20th. Then I have AIT for 56 weeks . If I told you anymore I'd have to shoot you. Gotta study this weekend, but I'm taking tonight off to have a few beers and a steak.

It is not a line of work I would ever want to pursue, but you have made your choice and I can only wish you well. Good luck!

Steak and beer is much more my thing though and I think I might indulge in much the same later one! Enjoy!

So you're entering as an enlisted man? For some reason I thought you were going the officer route. Dunno why...

Good luck.
