Anyone here in or was in the Army?

I'm just wondering.

Did you like? Did you get to choose where you were stationed? After you took the entrance exam did you qualify to get the job(mos?) you originally wanted and what was your mos? How long did you serve?

Just a hunch, but I don't think you'd be able to make it in the Marines.

Who wants to join the Marines? =P

Anyway, they gotta have some desk jockey positions in there some where...

I don't see you joining the Marines, let alone trying to zing one! =P

"Zing" one? :lol Yes, you sure proved your bravery with that incident.

I would have been the one choking the Marine out.

What a pansy.
A grown man that can't even get a girl has NO PLACE calling another man a "pansy." I don't care if you could karate chop someone to death. As previously stated, a boy with a gun could get the job done with ease.

That being said, only a fool, or a very desperate person would willingly join the Marines. The few, the proud, the expendable. People with brains join the Air Force, or the Navy.

BUT, I do know of one of my former class mates that joined the Army. He's being stationed in Germany where he will try out for the Army Choior. He claims to make $5000 plus health benifits and lving expenses. I call bullshit. They probably told him to say that he makes $60,000 a year so they can attract more recruits.

Do we need to remind you of your own incident of being made someone's bitch?

I'll be joining the Army after highschool. I don't have a big enough pair to join the marines, admittably. As I've said once before on this forum, Army only stands for "Ain't Ready to be a Marine, Yet."

You mean that time when I told off this violent Irishman's GIRLFRIEND and then he made me apologize to him and his GIRLFRIEND or else he would beat me up? Man, that story sucked. Maybe you should get a GIRLFRIEND so you can use your ninja-shit moves to defend her honor from whomever. I bet there's a lot more glory in that than using it as an excuse to get close to, and rub up against other grown, sweaty men. *shruggs*

Peace.

Unless you want to go to Iraq join the air force or navy and avoid anything in aircraft maintenance.

I still plan on joining the service and I expect to go to Iraq, but out of curiousity, why avoid aircraft maintenance?

Because I did it for 4 years in the air force and it sucks. Of course I have less reason to bitch than most because I didnt have to help with any crew chief duties like almost everyone else who worked on the flightline. Still the job description I was given for the job I chose was completely different than what I ended up doing.

If you want to join the service and not have to really worry about being deployed and/or being "High and Tight!" all the time. JOIN THE AIR FORCE!!! I did and its great. I'm a Medical laboratory technician and its good fun. Just be smart about it. Get your self a GUARANTEED JOB! Never go in open general. If your recruiter says that you can't get a guaranteed job tell him that another services recruiter said that you could get a guaranteed job but you liked the air force better but if he can't help you then service x willl. He will change his tune.
