Armed Forces thread...

[civic209]

well thought id make this thread nd see where it goes...
two of my brothers are in the army...oldest...then second oldest...im the third oldest so i guess its my turn to go...
both of my brothers have a family already. One is going to afghanistan soon...he has a son about 6 months old. hopefully my other brother doesnt have to go either(two daughters, one about 3 and other almost 2)...
keep him nd everybody over there in your prayers for me will you...

My father was an Engineer in the Army, my uncle was a helicopter pilot for the Marines. My oldest brother is unable to join due to medical reasons, but I doubt he would anyways. I'll be joining the Coast Guard within this year.

I thought about Army, follow in my dad's steps, but Army wouldn't really benefit me after I got out of it. Plus, I work on Fort Lewis and a lot of the MP's I talk too say USCG would be my better bet with doing law enforcement.

Maybe a suggestion, instead of this being just an Army thread, why not make it a Armed Forces thread?

I'm seriously considering the Air Force.. I just need to make sure it's right for me.

yes i agree mods plz change when you can.
nd i keep thinking that well if i didnt join in then id be leaving my brothers behind...i feel like cuz they did i have to but i dont want to do that to my parents either...3 sons in the army and if i do join most likely i will go to afghanistan...i doubt ill even make it in the army...
nd yea ive thought about the airforce too ive always been intrigued by fighter planes and what not..b20 spirit bomber nd yea...but bad eye sight could be a prob there...

Being a pilot would be cool too, but you also have to be pretty smart. Only thing I dislike with the Air Force is their attitudes. They seem to have a, "I'm better than you," attitude. At least, the ones I've dealt with. Nonetheless, they do some crazy stuff.

Whichever you choose, make sure it benefits you after you get out of the service though. A lot of people don't do that.

I'm 16, at the current time I plan on joining the Marines right out of highschool.

 

[1Lowcoupe]

I like being in college, but it's not for me. The school I'm going to is $20,000 a semester and I just can't see myself staying here for 4 years.

 

[civic209]

yea theres a huge amount of people going in the army now(or armed forces i guess) cuz of the money and for a financially peaceful future or something like that. it was on the news now....but idk...
my brother tried to convince my other bro not to join...but he did anyways...nd now hes in germany getting ready to head out for afghanistan

 

[253eg]

I told my Coast Guard recruiter I wanted to be in the DOG and be sent to Iraq's gulf. He smiled. Made me feel all warm inside, no homo.

 

[civic209]

Some people can caught it, some can't. If you don't think you can handle it, look into a different job for the Army or a entirely different branch. Don't worry if your family was all in the Army. Its your life, you choice. They'll accept and respect your choice. In the end, all branches share one goal, to defend this country.

Shoot, finish up college and go in as a Officer.

 

[EXSpeedAddict]

Grandfather, was in the Navy in WWII. I am in the Navy as a Seabee, heading to Afghanistan Dec. 4th actually. And definitely, if you're close to finishing college, do that first then go officer.

 

[squiblycivic]

I'm an Army Engineer and I love it. I had been thinking about all the services before I ended up joining last year. I'll be heading over to Afganistan around this time next year. Its definitely good to be in the Army.
