Joining the Military?

[Dwood]

As most of us here are ~17-24 years of age, so I have a question for you. Do you plan on joining the military? If so, what branches (of your respective military) would you wish to join?

If you don't want to join the military, what keeps you from wanting to/actually joining?

i dont think im going to, but if i had to choose, id be a marine. i dont really want to get shot and die or have to run a few miles every morning just to warm up, so yeah

I've been contemplating it. I would join the Air Force. So far the only thing that is stopping me is not knowing what I want to do with my life.

I'm in line to get into csis!

[=sw=warlord]

No i wouldn't join under any circumstances volintarily or other wise.

I'm prob not going to join. If I were, I would join air force and be a fighter pilot. Unfortunately I can't be a fighter pilot because you need 20/20 vision to be one, unless it changed.

Wait, you don't want to get shot at or do PT to wake up, but you'd join the marines? That's backwards mate.

I am absolutely going to join an armed force. I'm going into my senior year of NJROTC, and am set to get into A&M through the ROTC scholarship program. I want to go marines...but my parents aren't fond of frontline combat which they do a lot of. So, I'm probably going to end up doing either Navy or Coast Guard.

Honestly, I might join the reserves at some point in the future (like 5 years) as a part-time but probably not.
It's not an impossibility though.

Not likely, but if I were to, I'd join the airforce and go to engineering school, then just work on the planes. I wouldn't be allowed to fly because of my eye-sight, but I'd much prefer that over being on the ground getting shot.
