granted it is a car forum but not every thread in the baic is something about cars. I wasn't trying to spam baic with some pro army agenda, I was just asking if anyone had any thoughts about joining. I respect everyones opinion about the armed forces no matter what it may be.

 

Naw.. I'm too old, too fat, too short, and balding..

 

If I joined the armed forces, it's be the airforce and I'd be a linguist or cryptologist... I specialize in Croatian, and German.

Besides, the Air Force is bad ***.

 

I'll consider fighting as soon as my government rejoins my country and starts fighting for what I believe in.

 

what do you believe in? terrorism?

 

Ironic. I have no problem with Marines, only the typical condescending rhetoric they seem to be brain-washed with. If Marines are so hard core why are all the Special Operations currently being used Navy and Army? Why is Baghdad held by mostly Army? Was the largest amphibious invasion in the history of the world (supposed Marine's expertise) conducted by only Army troops? Let's be real, when it gets down to it, they're all about the same. And if you want to pick a "best branch", it has to be the Navy hands down. Better travel, the most powerful weapons, less stress on families, etc...

 

heres how i see the 4 branches of the military, and no i'm not counting the coast guard.

Marines=jocks
Air Force= snooby kids
Navy=nerds
Army= the "C average" students

 

Lol, you gotta give ARMY more credit than that...after all they do have Rangers, Special Forces, and Delta Force.

Anyway, to everyone reading these posts...
I loved serving my country. I had some real good times and was really put to the test on many occasions. Made a lot of good friends too. Seriously though, if you're not a man and expect the military to turn you into a man, you're going to ***** out real fast. Then we're going to have yet another loser bad mouthing the military.

 

If it wasn't a pay cut, I'd get on CHP or OPD.

 

that be a pay raise for me and i've thought about it. but i don't want to be on the receiving end of some thread on the internet when I pull some ricer over with a coffee can exhaust

and to Chrisnonstop, the part about being a man isn't necessarily true i believe. I certainly joined as a boy and in the 3.5 years i've been in I've turned into something not quite boy but not full man yet, a half puberty if you will. And I don't hate the army. The people who hate the military after being in are usually lazy, unmotivated retards anyway.

 

I'm already joining the Air Force. Took my ASVAB last month and about to take my physical on the 15th, hopefully get loadmaster or boomer and wait until I go to BMT.

I'm actually joining because I really WANT to be in the military to serve, good benefits, great training/school, want to travel, actually want to make a career out of it. Looking back at all the stuff I did to get up to this moment waiting to select my job then DEP and I'm damn proud of myself (loosing so much weight, studying constantly for my ASVAB, etc.)

Honestly the military is all what you make of it. I know some people in and out that hate it and some that love it. Thanks to a few i-club members that have really been there for me both being my mentors through this whole process its made it easier and that much more appealing to myself

 

Marines are so cool...all you do is spin your rifles in the air and swing a sword 2 inches from your face all day...at least thats what the commercials show.
ok
ok
short=smaller target
Balding=more aerodynamic

 

you can always try the local elementary schools.

 

no thats too hard for them...its easier to tell which students are more retarded in highschool

 

Nope!
