The Military., Ever thought about it? Options

That's what I had... Ok, enough spamming before I get in trouble

[YourSuperior]

No, not really. I have like once or twice. But I don't think that will EVER happen.

When I get out of high school I am going to join the Army, when I am done with basic I am going to try and get into warrant officer school - if that happens (which the recruiter that comes to our school says I can make it), I’m off to Aviation School to learn how to fly a Black Hawk.

I would like to be a Marine but man, after watching some boot camp videos of what Marines have to go through - I don't think I have the strength and will to do it.

Here she is, that’s what I want to fly.


I did the deal on the US Army website where you answer questions and they tell you what your Strengths are and such. My #1 strength was leadership, and they recommended Warrant Officer School...... Wo0t

For a long time, I wanted to be an army aviator, too. Thought it would be great to fly helicopters. I think the military is a great path, and a great way to return a favor to your country. I've lately been thinking about it because I could use the nice bonuses the Army offers for college, and my brother is in the army, and I really respect what he's doing it. I've thought about flying, but I don't think my eyesight is good enough to be a pilot. I spoke to a recruiter that knows my brother not too long ago, and I took the test they give recruits, the results of which he said pretty much guaranteed me a spot in Officer Candidate School, which interested me. I would really like to fly--I'd like to join the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment--but my eyesight isn't good enough to be a pilot, I think (although I could qualify for some other member of the aircrew).

Of course, I still think service to the government is a noble goal, so I am considering a job with the Department of Defense or possibly some organization within the US intelligence community upon graduation.

[heyyfrankie]

yes. i've thought about it but i'm most likely never going to do it. it doesn't really interest me.

[5ayuri]

When I was younger I would look at the Army comercials and would say that I wanted to join.
But now not so much.
I don't want to join the Army, don't know why I just don't.

[jue]

nopeee.
but is being a part of the CiA part of the military? cause dudeee CiA's are HOT(:

[miss barnes]

i would consider it after the war is over so i wouldnt have to go to iraq. my stepdad was in the army for 20 years...but he retired last year

[Spirited Away]

How interesting that this topic is brought up now.

Actually, I've been thinking of working in the military, more specifically the Army Reserves, after graduating for some time now. I had a plan to join as an officer not a private because I would have a degree and work in clerical for two/three years. After that, I'll go back to school to get a graduate degree... Just a couple of months ago, I wanted to quit cB for an internship with a government agency. That didn't work out...

Anyway, just yesterday I've finanlized my decision and it won't be the Army Reserves. I'm planning to join the Peace Corps. I think it'll prove to be a more rewarding experience for me.

[lilkrunkgurl]

Well my step dad is in the army i mean its ok and i live on base and he gets paid good and we have no taxes on base plus. The only real bad partabout it iz moving around alot. then u have to make friens all over again

[yummy_delight]

I've thought about it.

But, I'm probably the biggest wuss alive. At the first sound of gunfire, I'd probably go run and hide.

[jr0h]

hm well call me stupid but i really dont know the difference between all of them. but knowing some of them... sometimes i did think it'd be rreally cool if i joined something like one of those.

[DisneyPrincessKa...]

im in the civil air patrol. USAF aux. freakin sweet. i considered the air force for a while, decided against it though

[Sumiaki]

I'm thinking about joining the Navy... Maybe become a NAVY SEAL.

[*RiC3xBoy*]

Yes, but only as a last resort. Was thinking about joining the Air Force or The Marines.

[Sumiaki]

Good luck with Marines. (Airforce is way safer than marines)

[yukichan]

I'm thinking about it..Maybe the airforce..

[J-DraGoNz]

All military branches talk shit on each other. Essentially, none are really better then the other. MArines will always say they are the best and army will say this and that and navy will say this and that. whatever. its all just hype and competition. I'm in the military, its good stuff. btw the guy who posted ranks....in the army there is no e-5 or e-6 spc.. i dont know where you got that from? I've never heard of that in my life. maybe in other branches? i wouldnt know then. but not in the army. generally, i know a thing or two about the military so if you realyl are considering and want some non-biased advice, come hit me up.

What kind of plane do you have? Some people think the CAP isn't so important, but it helped out in WWII and during 9/11.

[FilipinoFaShow]

yea, i thought of it cuz my uncle, step-brother and cousins are in the Air Force

[short_stop08]

Yea at one time the Air Force. But then I had a quick second thought and said no way because I will be subject to die at any moment.

[EddieV]

I used to want to go into the US Navy because of the classes and career training you can get there. Two months of bootcamp and I'm off on a Navy Aircraft Carrier doing what I want to do, but I figured college is much easier and quicker. Navy is good though, they pay for your college...

Not all military careers put you in harms way you know? There are non-combatant oppurtunities.

[berry_lickable]

im still thinking about it but ya know im still a freshhman. but i am considering it.

[Shahin]

A sub-note here. Is anyone considering a combatant role in the military? Because that is what I am aiming for.
