Have you ever seriously thought about joining the military?

Defending hobbits ain't all that.

In my country men must join the military for one year as it is stated by the law. If you don' t do it then fines, prison etc. Thankfully I have the right to postpone my joining the military for 10 years since I went to university. I don' t know about US but here it' s not an honor at all. Maybe if you do it as a standard job and even then it' s not much of an honor... This is another ridiculous obligation I have to face. So I have seriously thought about ways to avoid the military not joining it. If I was an American I would probably not do it either because personally I think there are a lot more worthwhile things to do in my time than risking my life.

i've considered it, only to acknowledge that intellectually inferior people barking orders at me would be raising myself to their level of competenceBiancaDK

i wanted to, i walked into the recruitment center after i turned 18 and scored a 10 out of 10 on both the verbal and math sections of the pre asfab test and told them i was born to fly an apachie and they laughed and said maybe i could change the oil in one.

i never went back.

they didn't even tell me to go to college and get into the rotc or anything like that just you can be a mechanic sign here.

i was just a stupid kid and had no clue how the system worked at the time.

i always wondered why they didn't tell me.

Yeah. Still considering it.

That's true. The education level of the military as a whole has gone up over the years. Plus, just because a person has a college degree doesn't mean that person will automatically be accepted into the military. My niece has a college degree from a state university. Yet, she tried to join the Air Force but didn't score high enough in some areas.

No thanks but I've gotten stuff in the mail asking me to join the marines before.

[QUOTE="BranKetra"] I didn't feel like explaining everything in detail and I still don't.BranKetra

Not really.

I don't think I'm technically able to join the military, though I've heard of ways to circumvent certain regulations. I have kind of thought about it as an option, I don't know, sometimes I kind of think it would be a good way to give my life some sort of meaning.

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.slowpokebro

That sig is genius.

Nope. The idea of being in the military is horrifying to me.

The day the military is desperate enough to need me, the world is beyond saving.

[QUOTE="BranKetra"][QUOTE="noscope-ak47"]Maybe you should you make it sound like the rangers are not special forces. Clearly you need to explain what you mean by rangers,ect and then there's special forces. The army alone has at least six units that fall in the special forces catagory.

No, I have asthma. The military doesn't sound very tolerant.

Also, I wouldn't care about this patriotic crap.

Nope, not a chance

Yes...it was my original plan to enter the military after college...unfortunately my mother died a few days before graduation and I had to raise my brothers....Omni-Slash

Nope. The idea of being in the military is horrifying to me.

Why? The portion of any military that actually sees combat is relatively small compared to the other portion that supports them. The support is waaaaay bigger.

I hate my country and will NEVER fight for it. So no.TheWalkingGhost
