You're in the army now. WOOOOOOOOW .

Ok, so are you going to the army when you grow up, or perhaps you've already been there? Let me know of your expectations or experiences of the army.

me? Oh, I was a first class soldier. I learned lots of neat stuff and got to fight with strong feminine guys with long hair. Actually this one time when we had to go up in the mountains and check out this old reactor we met huge [img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img]ing monsters and we slayed them, or at least that feminine guy did. But me and me pre-emptive materia helped an awful lot. awful lot.

discuss.

I'm much too wimpy for the army. I'd start crying the second I got there. xD

Did you have high yellow hair when you were a Soldier?

I've been in the army. But when I started thinking that I'd been created, I kinda went insane and tried to take over the world.

I'm in the army now, and I can't say much of it, for reasons I can speak nothing of, either. It's hard, very hard at times... but it's my contribution for the nation's survival.

I went to kill Vietcongs and save the life of my lieutenant. Didn't find his legs though, which is a shame.

I actually enjoy being a Soldier. Sure, Iraq sucks, but there's much more honor and pride in the military than in any civilian profession. I have barely more than three years left until I can re-enlist (which means I'm halfway through my contract!), but I probably will. I always figure it's better for me to go off and fight than for some guy with a wife and kids back home.

Officers are wussies. Usually no better qualified for their positions than any of the Enlisted men, but get paid a hell of a lot more, and get more authority to abuse and misuse. Our branches always make fun of each other, but a lot of it is true--Marines are dumb and Air Force are spoiled wimps, mainly. But it's like a brotherhood--yeah, we pick on each other, we may even fight, but we're still brothers, and we're still American military, the most honorable profession in the world.

I don't believe in military service. I'm a pacifist.

In my opinion violence should only be used in defence as a very last resort. And even in that case, there should be no killing. I'd sooner die myself, than kill someone else, even if they're trying to kill me.

Killing someone is murder, no matter the reason.

I've considered the military before in the past but, nah,I don't relish the idea really given today's circumstances ie. becoming cannonfodder " peacekeeping " in the Middle East.My personal convictions are too strong to serve my country for something I don't believe in.

Anyway,I've got other things to pursue.

I've found that most people who resent the military usually don't have the courage themselves it takes. There's a certain sense of honor and duty that's required to enlist, and with quite a few people, I'm glad they will never be behind me in a firefight, because I don't have confidence/trust that they'd cover me.

And there's a big difference in killing and murdering, by the way. Defending yourself, or others, is nowhere near murder.

Actually, it's the Coast Guard Academy, but only because they only accept 275 whereas all the other Academies accept 1200. the Air Force Academy is allright...if you like getting your asses kicked by Navy Football, that is.

Me, I love the U.S. Naval Academy. Not only is it a great education, a great training program, and a beautiful campus; but we've also got the movie Top Gun and Tom Cruise on our side. I get to travel the seven seas and expand my culture, and I get to do it going twice the speed of sound (maybe three times pending advances in technology). Plus chicks totally dig the uniform :cool:

DCUs are better than all the Navy uniforms...except y'all's Dress Whites, we gotta give you that. The Dress Whites are awesome, much better than the "pickle suit" we get (Army Dress Greens). But the Army's got much better movies, without having Tom Cruise in 'em, and that's a bonus for us.

As I've said before, most Enlisted men don't like Officers too much, but at least the Officers that go through a Military Academy are better qualified than just any ROTC program. Most of the time, the only difference between an O1 and an E-3 is that the butterbar gets paid a hellovalot more...they don't know any different, don't get (or deserve) any more or less respect, and both usually have attitudes because they outrank some people.

I have a sense of honor, as a matter of fact, I have a stronger sense of honor than most people, and I personally believe that killing, even in self defense, is murder.

While I will fight to save someone else, I will do it only as a last resort. If the choice is kill or be killed, I chose to die.

Oh you can just STFU right now. We had the Commander in Chief's cup like the five years before this one. Besides, you didn't kick our asses, you won by a last minute field goal. Trust me, I was there in the sea of blue! (Actually it was the sea of green that night because for some reason they had us in BDUs for the game). Next year, though, mark my words, we're getting that dang goat! Besides, Tom Cruise sucks.

If you couldn't already guess, I'm a cadet at the Air Force Academy right now. I like it, it's what I've always wanted to do, but it's not for everyone. I hope not all enlisted disrespect officers like someone here said. I know brand new butterbars can act like they know everything and that's a shame, because hopefully that isn't representative of the officer corps.

It's been said that for every cadet at USAFA, there are 12 others that applied to be there, so I don't know how that goes for competitiveness. Oh, and somebody was mistaken, once you graduate, you are commissioned as an O-1 no matter what, nobody gets O-2 no matter what your class standing was.

The rumor is that in the Army if you graduate from Westpoint instead of anywhere else you start off as an O-2.
