Re: I'm joining U.S. Army...

I've got to agree with her on this one. FFR doesn't seem like the best place to receive advice on joining the Army. I can only think of maybe a handful of people currently enrolled if even.

No I see where he's getting at. Any time you mention anything about expectations of the army you get people saying things like this;

Its not worth it. You could get the pensions and respect with Peace Core.

Have fun killing people.

Have fun being killed.

You don't get jack with the peace core. Its also a terrible post-college choice if you still have loans to pay.

This post is terrible. First off, it's peace corps. Secondly, there are a massive amount of jobs that don't require combat. Actually, the majority of jobs don't require combat. I'm a communications specialist. I have a few friends who are light-wheeled mechanics. I also have friends you work on night vision, some that are Bradley mechanics.

M.I. usually don't have to engage in combat. Except for special forces, interrogators, and psychological operations, most of M.I. sits behind a desk or something like that.

They will break you and re-assemble you to be an efficient soldier, remember that. It depends how strong you are mentally. It can be a simple process or it can be the worst days of your life. Just follow mr. texass soldier's tips and you'll be fine.

Ask yourself the right questions before going in such a career. It's not as simple to just say "meh I don't want to do this anymore" like any other career choice you may make.

I hate it when people expect you to do this.

Like...

Someone else: Why are you so stupid?!?!?

Me: Uhh...

Someone else: Well?!?!

This is how you answer this:

Drill sergeant: "Why are you so stupid, private?"

Private: "Drill Sergeant! I joined the military to cure my stupidity, Drill Sergeant!"

Sounds really stupid but trust me, this shit happens rofl.
