In 2002 I was suppose to ship out on the fact that I would br graduated on time... which I didn't and I never showed up for my ship date. Plus I really didnt want to go because I picked a crap bastard job. 3 years later, I reenlisted and tomarrow I take the ASVAB (In which I will be studing for to get a good ass job) and do all that homo shit at the MEPS building (Duck walking with nothing but your skivvies on with other dudes who have nothing but their skivvies on... and holding out your penis while two people (the guy peeing right beside you and the recruiter watching) pee. Im sure as am wearing breifs. My family is upset ("Now is not the time to join the military!") But its my decision. I think that this will beneficial to me having a successful future. Plus, I could finally go to Japan and sex up hot Japanese chicks! Compared to the guys there, I have a dick the size of 2 Godzillas, lmao.

I think your family is right...:(

Active/Guard/Reserve?

Active/Guard/Reserve?

....Yup....

Reserve = Active. Lol.

I think your family is right...:(

Yeah Me Too.....

Well, I really wanted to do this. If I do go to war, I just hope that it is God's will that I live through it.

Either Way... Good Luck

And remember, when your squad member gets shot and is gasping for air, don't too excited with the CPR. It is STRICTLY FOR MEDICAL PURPOSES!

Umm....
It's not God's will that anyone does anything for the government, actually...
:(
I hope you come back okay hun.....

^ Yet you live in this country and take advantage of the freedom of speech that it gives you? Would you like China instead?

Good luck Mizz, don't let basic training (or whatever the Navy's version is called) get too you. It starts off as a mind game to scare you into being a hard working dicisplined individual. If you do everything that you've been lawfully ordered to, then you are in the right. And yes, they can do a lot to mess with you but its never worse than some physical work, labor, sleep depravation, being hurried around, and being yelled at. Other than that, doing as your told will get you through it easy. Do not be the one who questions everything. Not everything will make sense (infact a lot of it doesn't) and often the point is just to get things done and follow regulations. Do not be the one who stands out unless its for excelling at something. Maintain a positive attitude, and remember that "cool" in the military world is completely different from "cool" in the civilian world. Also, people who started off nice may later become jerks since stress tends to expose cowards. Its not about getting along with anyone (although it helps to have friends), its about getting the work done right. One more thing, being told to do push ups (or other exercises) is not always a punishment. Its important to remember that your trainers have to make you physical and mentally fit to be a soldier, and they have to motivate you to push yourself. Motivation is key. When you do their work outs its about improving yourself, not suffering a punishment.

Good luck.

well u take ur ass to the army or navy then.
shit...at least chinas leader isnt killing innocent people because of oil and his pride.

?? I am in the Army. I even dropped pics of it, plenty pics actually. And I definately choose serving my country over living in China.

^Fuck You Nigga I Love General Tso's Chicken. Good Luck Mizzle...Don't Turn Gay.

at least chinas leader isnt killing innocent people because of oil and his pride.



oh boy

china executes more people for no reason then any place on earth

all im sayin is fuck the navy, army, military, airforce, special forces, and everything else like that....al they do is support killing innocent lives. so fuck um

^ WTF? You don't anything about the Armed Forces. America's Armed Forces do far more to prevent the loss of innocent life than any other nations Armed Forces. We also spend far more time serving as international police and distributing aid then we do actual war fighting. Ending innocent lives is no way, shape, or form a part of our mission. America has been supporting a reduction in violence. We support educating the people on how to avoid explosives and the need to report terrorist activity to put an end to it. We tell kids not to play with bombs, we capture the people who coerce and terrorize the communities in Iraq. Those suicide bombers kill innocent lives, America's Armed forces tries to stop them. The US Armed Forces has done everything in its power to reduce casualties and bring peace to the communities in Iraq.
oh boy

china executes more people for no reason then any place on earth
Thank you.

Yes I do take advantage of it...if it's here then I'll use it and try to be a good citizen, but I do not support any of the government anywhere in the world. We won't have these "freedoms" before the time comes anyways...It's like picking between a gunshot to the stomach or a long horrible torture to the death...Either way this world as we know it is screwed and going to war is just making the inevitable easier...that is the only reason why I have respect for those who choose to go to war...
That's my opinion, of course..

Yes, its all one great living hell. I on the other hand enjoy living and have no plans on making my military career a suicide route. In fact, most military people I know have no plans on making their careers a suicide route. Life is beautiful and living to uplift the rest of the lives on this world is what makes it that way. There are other lives out there fighting the same battles making good of what they have been given. Not every moment is despair, and very few of us live only to destroy what we see around us. As much as humans destroy our urge to build and make things better is still far greater. Life on earth has gone through worse times than we have now and the fact of our continued existence is proof of the overall good that exists in the hearts of people. Those governments that you see as being so bad are the products of people. Futhermore the world has been at the mercy of government for most of the time that humans have existed on this planet. Governments have their flaws, and power leads many to corruption, however those governments are still people. The world is much better off now than it has been in its darkest times. Iraq for one is no WWI much less WWII and it certaintly is not the Dark Ages (which was the result of the absence of government), it doesn't even compare with the Cold War (which was only a psychological battle). Armageddon is not around the corner, and the US Armed Forces is not a death sentence nor is it a path to murder.

if u join the navy..u dont have anything to worry about as in war shit...u wont be involved in it..depending on ur job...so ur family needs to use common sense with that, b.c u wont be a grunt...and if u want a really good bonus, free college while ur in and when u get out, easy living lifestyle..go to the air force...if u've ever played a sport...fuck if u've ever playedping pong u can handle the air force...

I aggree with what most people say in this...
Although I disaggree with most government's, because of their policy...
I disaggree with alot of foriegn policies that concern the middle east....
However, apart from a few exetremist's, most military personal, from the British, American to Iran's or China's are a credit to their countries people, for fighting for their peopel, which I think is one of the most honourable things to do in existance...
I will problery be involved in some sort of military profession after University...

[CENTER]I just wanted to say that China kills children for being 2 born in the family. Especially if you are a girl. As for what I job I would like, something in computers or military police. The MEPS builing was shutdown yesterday so I stay in a hotel today and do all the crap tomarrow.[/CENTER

Thats called "Propaganda"....

Yah, I respect the military and shit, and no I never said it was a suicide mission, but I don't agree with it no matter how trivial it seems compared to the other wars (which doesn't make it much better just because there was something worse)...the government's plans are the LEAST of my concerns, and I do not plan on ever supporting them through any means....

And I think it would be wise of you to state things as an opinion when it IS an opinion:
Armageddon is not around the corner,
It will save further arguements from starting if people decide to pick them out when you argue...

^ While your intent may be noble, the proper way to state an opinion in formal writting (which is what I aim for in debates) is to state it. My "opinion" was backed up by facts, that makes it a conclusion. To say "it is my opinion" or "I believe" would undermine the expressed confidence in my argument. Now if you have formed a solid case for how "armageddon" is around the corner then I would gladly read it. If anything, armageddon should have hit us "corners" ago. <-- Another conclusion based on facts from my previous post.
Thats called "Propaganda"....
No that is called killing babies to keep down the population count. Propaganda is used to sway the thinking of people.

Religion in itself is an opinion. No facts prove that Armageddon will or will not happen soon, which makes it an opinion. However I'll accept this:

To sway the US people against the Chinese.....
I'm sure the Chinese government say's that America is fulll of overweight pricks who rape iraqi women...

They kill their own babies because of us??? It's population control.

BOOYAH!

I FINALLY got my X-rays back and was accepted to into the Navy. Today, I spent over 12 hours in MEPS, waiting, signing shit, waiting, signing shit, waiting and siging shit. Come around 3:30 PM, I was FINALLY getting around to select my job. The occupational guy (I forgot his real title... Im so tired) asked me what jobs were I interested in. I told him Law Enforcement or something in computers. Well, he made a quick phone called and found out that Navy Military Police and NCIS were no longer availible as jobs and the only way I could get into one was to be a Navy SEAL. (erm...no) And computers? Well, he told me that I had good test (ASVAB) scores but not good enough to score any computer related jobs. (He told me I need a 227.... I had 214...) Then I remember Eight One's job as an IT. Dude told me that was the cream of the crop.... THE Navy computer field to be in... and as you know, I didnt have enough points to get any PC related jobs. Things were started to look bad but then he show me a job (he told me it was as close as he could get me to a PC related field)...

IT- Intelligence Specialist
Military intelligence is information needed to plan for our national defense. Knowledge of the number, location, and tactics of enemy forces and potential battle areas is needed to develop military plans. To gather information, the services rely on aerial photographs, electronic monitoring using radar and sensitive radios, and human observation. Intelligence specialists gather and study the information required to design defense plans and tactics.

What They Do
Intelligence specialists in the military perform some or all of the following duties...

* Study aerial photographs of foreign ships, bases, and missile sites
* Study foreign troop movements
* Operate sensitive radios to intercept foreign military communications
* Study land and sea areas that could become battlegrounds in time of war
* Store and retrieve intelligence data using computers
* Study foreign military codes
* Prepare intelligence reports, maps, and charts


Basically, I observe enemy tatics and create strategies to overcome them. So what jobs can I get into after I leave the Navy?

Can you say C-I-A? How about N-S-A?

BOOYAH!
BOOYAH!
BOOYAH!

Anyway, I ship out Great Lakes, IL for Basic Training on May 4th, 2006. So bascially I have 9 months of chill time before I haed plus. Plus the school I'll have to go to for IT (which is in VA) is 2 years long. I'll be in the Navy for 10 years (4 active duty + 2 school years + 4 reserve (which have the option to do or not do... Ima do it) but yeah, Im so ready happy and ready to begin this new phase of my life. Thank you all for your words of support.

Congradulations, I hope its not too close to forward observers though. Anyway, it sound very interesting and I'm sure they will keep you busy with it once you finish the training for it.
