Joining the Military?

[Roostervier]

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.

i know, but that doesnt mean i wouldnt do it. just that i wouldnt want to.

ah. ok. So I went on the CG website today and looked up all the possible jobs...the first one I really noticed was RH60 Turret Operator...Apparently using the M2 .50 Caliber MG on each side of the RH60 is a specific MOS.

I'm thinking Kyon is CNNUMBERS, pretty sure you just got trolled.

Yeh. But at these forums you never know. There are some people judging by the poll, and other past fun encounters (why my rep is still so low lol) that do believe something like that for real.

I wouldn't join the military. I've had thoughts but ultimately, no.

The fag?






And why not, I mean after a while all the smoke they blow up your ass starts to make you feel good about the decision.

Yes, and it's a decision that I didn't see myself coming across a few years back. However, I don't know if officership is considered joining the military, because I've applied to the Air Force and Army service academies, and if those fail, I've also applied to the AROTC and Army ROTC programs. If I don't get into any of those 4, then my last decision is to enlist directly through a recruiter. My cousins are on active duty in the navy right now, so I just felt an obligation. If I were asked what influenced me... I'd have to say either my AP US history teacher and the course itself, or my 2 cousins. Unfortunately, my parents are REALLY against all of my decisions, except for the two service academies, because what parent wouldn't be happy about a college like West Point...

Heck, I even saw several of the GoArmy commercials on TV and I'll admit it, for the dumbass that I am, I was quite moved. Sue me.
