I am in a big slump financially and emotionally atm. I cannot find a woman to love on me or a job I love to do. I hear military people have a sense of accomplishment and pride after serving their contry so I thought maybe I should join to boost my ego. I am scared though of dying or getting PTSD. Have you ever seriously thought about joining the military or other armed forces? I think I'll have better time with women if I go and build my confidence up. I am tired of being a slumbag.
I think it can be a great thing to serve in the armed forces but don't rely on the military to change you and tell you who you are. You can change yourself, you just have to make the effort. With that said, yes, I have taken seriously consideration into joining the Marines; got to MEPS and they DQ'd me because of my hearing.
I was thinking about it for a short while, but I remembered that my dad was a plane mechanic for a long time and I don't want to be a plane mechanic, so that made up my mind. Wouldn't want to be in the Marines or Army because they get deployed into dangerous areas. Navy is boring being stuck on a ship.
[QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"]Yeah. I served 4 years in the Army. Don't regret it.slowpokebro
That's impressive. Did you have better luck with women moreso than before you went in? so you only doing it to get girls? I knew a guy who did it for the same reason, after a year, he was gay. Now he is a full blown fairy

I personally never thought about joining the military primarily because I do not believe in the current wars and would not want to risk my life for such causes. I strongly respect those that do risk their lives everyday though. Huge sacrifice for both themselves and their loved ones.

Is your 4 years the cumulative of your playing time of COD 1, 2 & 3 or did you have to serve some of that time in SOCOM and Ghost Recon too? I don't play shooters stalker.....
[QUOTE="BranKetra"]I was very close to enlisting and starting down the special forces career path. 22Toothpicks
What specific unit were you looking into? Special forces was the unit. In the army, there's infantry, tank operators, rangers, etc, and then there's special forces.

Yea I came out of uni deciding that If I got a 3rd in my degree I would join the Army to gain more employable skills that way... luckily I got a 2:2 and im happy about that :)

[QUOTE="BranKetra"]Correct me if I'm wrong, but I haven't read a single post here saying someone is too scared to enlist until you brought it up.airshocker
Yes, I hope to join the Navy after finishing going to university. It is something I have thought about for many years and at this time I am absolutely convinced that it is what I want to do.
The military is great for building confidence but if you are hoping it will get you laid then you're joining for the wrong reason. Don't get me wrong, people do get laid due to the uniform. But nine times out of ten, those girls who are sleeping with you just because you're in the military are just after your money.
