I am attempting to join the ARMY.

[Master]

You are a brave man to do this, very brave, I could not do it ever. I could join the fire brigade however.

Yeah and save lives, educate kids in school. Yeah all fire fighters are pussys, never risk their health and don't do any good in the comunity. Well not as much good as a brainwashed troop whos only objective is kill or be killed. God I wish I could do that.

People forget. There is a fine line between bravery and stupidity. IMO you cross the line into stupidity as soon as you sign up for the army.

Whats the matter hit a raw nerve, wrong time of the month, not getting any, that was a joke.

No I was agreeing with you fire fighters do fuck all, and are complete pussies.

You forgot the other stereotype that they all have second jobs as well.

You could have just said:
I wouldn't personally join the Army, I think it's all about the control of others from the politicians right down through ranks then out onto the countries we move against, instead of for the protection of others at home or there.

Hey Hornfinger, if you dont have anything to add to this thread, why don't you fuck off?

Touching a nerve ay? Seems to me in trying to let another human being they have a lot more to live for than fighting pointless wars for greedy governments I'm adding a lot more to the thread than you. Mr blind sheep that does and believes anything his government says. If you had a mind of your own you might be dangerous.

No you haven't touch a nerve, this thread isn't about American's foreign policy or it's wars, it's about a guy wanting opportunities in life, and he's getting advice from people and well wishers. But you on the other hand came in and start going off about wars, innocent dead, etc. You managed or attempting to derail this thread.

All you have done is serious trolling. I think it's pretty pathetic that someone's highlight of the day is troll around. BTW, I thought you said you're done with trolling? http://www.saddoboxing.com/boxingfor...-my-chest.html

I'm not trolling at all. And the fact you resort to saying I am says alot. This is something I feel strongly about. And what I'm saying is very very very very very very simple. EVEN you might get it.

DON'T JOIN THE ARMY YOU HAVE MORE GOING FOR YOU AND MORE OPPOTUNITIES THAN RESORTING TO THIS.

MR NO CONTEST YOU ARE BETTER THAN THIS AND MORE DESERVING THERE ARE OTHER MUCH MORE WORTH WHILE THINGS YOU CAN DO.

No, you are trolling and it's what is allowed on this board for you and I seriously doubt you feel strongly about this subject. Whether it's some boxing thread to more serious issues like this thread, you come in and troll and derail the topic at hand. It's an obvious pattern.

Okay since you are saying you are not here to troll, then let's see you give some decent advice for this young man then? Besides just typing out, "Don't join army, there's lots of worthwhile things to do." Okay what are they? Let's hear the specifics? Go into the details of what they are.

Hornfinger, where do you hail from?

Why did you stop being a Fire fighter?

When topics like this come up, I think it's important to recognize that we all have different perspectives on contentious issues.

No Contest is a long-time member of the site and it's obvious that this is something he's thought about for a while prior to making his decision. Calling each other names and ridiculing each others beliefs/careers etc. doesn't do anything other than get people upset and it's sure as shit not going to change anyone's opinions, least of all the guy who's already decided to join the military. I think the best thing we can do is wish No Contest good luck and success in his new career.

HAha I just watched that Doug Stanhope and somehow ended up here.....





it also seems vaguely relevant.

I just want to add that, in the past, I have been guilty of saying some pretty assholish things on these sorts of topics as well, so I don't want anyone to think I'm trying to assume a position of moral superiority here because that is not my intention.

While my position on certain subjects has changed a bit over time, I still feel that we can all get together and share our opinions on whatever issues we're discussing, but I think we should try to do so in as respectful a manner as possible, especially when it's regarding the personal lives of our members. I've learned that that is the only real way any meaningful dialogue takes place.

I look at the quality of life for most Americans, and then I look at the quality of life in some of these other countries and I dont think America is that tyranical. Just look at the amount of illegal immigrants trying to get into our country from Mexico. Is that because they want to be oppressed? I have the freedom to say all kinds of bullshit(i.e. hornfinger) and thats my right as an American. Do you think people in countries with dictatorships can do that?

I just took the ASVAB, and answered a bunch of invasive background questions. Wish me luck, I'm for real, I'm trying to join the ARMY. This is my best option for a decent career, so wish me luck, serious assholes. No I will not disclose any personal info. I believe America is a good country, and alot of countries would like to be in the situation we are in. There are alot of opportunities and social programs that you just wont find in other countries. I'm ready to serve and protect what I believe to be one of the best (if not best) countries in the world.

That's nice. But before you leave tell your mom to buy herself a nice black dress and get ready for your funeral. I don't say this to be a prick, either. 22 year old half brother joined the Marines. 19 year old cousin joined the Army. Both came home in body bags. You might wanna reconsider. But Good luck anyway

Sorry to hear that buddy. Unfortunately my mother and father have already passed away. I will however be taking the 400,000 dollar life insurance, which would go to my sister. She can buy a nice black dress and handle the funeral if that were to happen. Sheesh I knew I was going to regret posting this thread. Watch with my luck I dont get accepted, and then the real funny shit is going happen.

And this is why my buddy joined the Navy instead. Don't have to be on the front lines, least likely to die, from what I've heard also lots of skills and trades to learn that gets you ready for real world, plus you also can get the GI bill too if you're thinking of education. My buddy that went to the art school didn't want to be on the front lines or have bullets fly over his head so he passed on joining the marines or army and went navy instead.

But anyways good luck to whatever branch of the armed forces you're joining Nocontest.

Regret nothing about asking and delving into different perspectives. Rather hash it out prior then jump in clueless....or turn around 20 yrs from now and say woulda, coulda, shoulda. Be honest with yourself and family and the only thing worse then failure is not trying to succeed in the first place, and if that means joining or means you decide not to, its you who will have to live with it. Best of luck bud.

Got to say its not totally the case to think Navy doesn't see frontlines as today your front line could be just driving down the road. My Father went in Navy way back rather then Marine or Reg Army and next thing he knew was flying dust off with both off the ship as a door gunner. Sometimes they grab the pieces where they fit then and now. Not to mention the EOD techs

Than you alright. Do what you gotta do. And good luck.


Side-note: And your sister stays where again?
