Army National Guard Reserves[views:7337][posts:102]_________________________________________ [Jun 3,2009 10:27pm - BobNOMAAMRooney ""] Go to school around your full time work schedule. I don't know what school you were accepted to but a number of colleges offer accelerated programs specifically designed for working adults. It sucks going from work to class for 4 hours or whatever two nights out of the week for 18 months but it beats the fuck out of getting sent to Afghanistan and if you come home going to the same classes anyway. |
| ____________________________________ [Jun 3,2009 10:31pm - xgodzillax ""] i tried enlisting in the army when i was 23 or 24, and they told me i was too insane for the military. plus, i cant legally be around firearms since i am, clinically psychotic. its documented |

I got accepted to Great Bay Community College (http://www.greatbay.edu/index.html ) and I'd be going there for Liberal Arts - Business. If I went through the military, they would help me pay off my old school debt and pay for my future college costs. If they did that, I could just start at UNH instead of doing CC and transferring after. |

Wars will always need to be fought, just like there's always going to be conflict between people. People aren't equal. Some are less capable than others, and they hate the capable. Even more, combat can be a rush and many people love it. It might be healthy to feel this, more healthy than running away from it for personal convenience. Every single one of us would be in deep shit if it weren't for our military, law enforcement, even CIA, etc. I know it sounds good socially to say "war is unnecessary, I'm against war, just give everyone what they want" but that's not reality. It's politeness. Learn the difference or you may end up in a Twilight movie taking a prehensile cock up the ass. |

There is no greater pride than service to the country, but you honestly have to think about your kid first and foremost. Sounds ghey and lame, but it's part of the responsibility of being a young(er) parent. Been there before, so that's about all I can say. |

Hahaha...MK has a chance at an education and is a young parent. That's the reason we're suggesting to him not to join the military. My friends joined because they had nowhere else to go. One ended up dead and the rest regretted it. I had to share that. While I might be called a 'liberal' by Hoser and Conversationist, I have no idea why they think we are "hippy fags who piss on the flag". Both of my grandfathers are distinguished WWII veterans.

Just had to weigh in, no more politics today for me. |
| ______________________________________ [Jun 4,2009 11:10am - the_reverend ""] weird... hoser calls me an uninformed liar... I'm sorry that I take my information from 1) one of my best friends from childhood that served and came back, but couldn't cut it as a recruiter. 2) the fact that I live next to a recruiter's office and watch them all the time 3) All of the news reports in the jew media about recruiters. and looking up info on the jew media site http://www.ngb.army.mil there are 14,000 Army Nation Guard swapping into Afghanistan this spring and 9,000 ANG troops in iraq. Sorry that I lied and said there were 10K in Iraq. |

| ___________________________________ [Jun 4,2009 7:02pm - immortal13 ""] DON'T go to a recruiter and expect to hear the truth out of them. After I quit The Summoned, I was very, very close to joining the Marines, so I figured I'd have my friend who's a Marine come with me to meet with my recruiter just to see what's real and what's not. They're so full of shit you can smell it in their breath she said. There's NO guarantee you will get the job you want, you will end up in Iraq sooner or later with a gun in your hand, and it will not be what they told you it is. I also know one guy that was supposed to be joining the national guard as a telephone worker, thinking he was gonna be the guy up on the telephone polls making repairs and stuff. What they failed to tell him is that he was actually gonna be in the infantry, and by telephone worker they meant the guy who controls the radio. Luckily he was able to get out of that fast. Plus, reservists don't get shit. Every reservist I know is a completely arrogant, lazy, unmotivated piece of shit that only thinks of themselves, yet still thinks they're the toughest thing ever. I lost a lot of respect for my best friend just because of that. Consider your options man, and make the right choice. Do what you think is best for the daughter. |

Similar thing happened to a kid I know: Recruiter: HAY MAN I SEE YOU WANT TO WORK WITH COMPUTERS Kid: Yes, sir I'm really good at programming and shit. R: OKAY, YOU CAN DO THAT IN THE NATIONAL GUARD! WE GOT PREDATOR DRONES AND SHIT LIKE THAT, IT FUCKING RULES! K: Awesome! (signs up) R:LOL,ENJOY 68W FAGGOT! K:Noooooooooooooo! |

I'm only saying this because if you want in, but DON'T want to see combat, you need to get that in writing. I'm just assuming you don't want combat because you have a child, but i could be wrong. I know someone who agreed to serve for 4years in THIS country being a cryptic-translingualist. Basically they(navy) agreed (in a contract) that they would pay for his entire schooling before he goes in (for the job) then serve the 4years, then get out with placement in a job on a military base of his choice with very high salary/benefits/pension. He did extremely well on his ASVABs, but i took them too and thought they were a breeze. So as long as you scored high enough on them, and your REALLY set on going in, you should try negotiating to make it really worth that much of your/your child's life. |
| ______________________________ [Jun 18,2009 6:01pm - BSV ""] I say DO IT. I really wanted to join up when I was younger but didn't have the balls cause I wanted to be young and stupid and follow my Death Metal dreams.

Keith Mutiny signed for delayed enlistment to become a special forces medic after he finishes paramedic training and plans to follow up after he gets out, with medical school paid by the goverment to be a neurosurgeon. Sounds like a plan to me from a person I'd consider to be one of the most intelligent people I know. |

I talked about schooling and apparently they stopped doing the college-first option so I would probably have to do a tour in the Middle East. I just hope I qualify for a job that would keep me off the front lines. |
| __________________________________________ [Jun 18,2009 11:43pm - BoarcorpseJimbo ""] I am pretty sure you can see if you qualify before you actually enlist. |
| ___________________________________________ [Jun 18,2009 11:59pm - MillenialKingdom ""] Well, I know that. I'm taking the ASVAB and seeing how I do before I even make a decision on this. If I get a high enough score, I can probably get any job I want. My friend Taylor is in Communications and is deploying to Kuwait next year. He got like a high 70 on the test. The minimum score you can get is 50. |
