I wouldn't recommend you just join the army simply because you like war movies and play war games. Life doesn't have a reset nor a rewind button.

I guess if you like getting up at 4:00 AM you might like it. If you like scrubbing dishes and mopping the mess hall you might like it. If you like scrubbing down and mopping the bathrooms you might like it.

Besides.. the army tells you what you are gonna be and where you are gonna go. They evaluate your abilities and performance then they decide what you are best suited for. If they don't think you have what it takes to be a combatant they won't make you a commando. They will assign you to a civil duty. Like a mechanic, a cook or some other type of technician.

Plenty of people go in the military thinking it's gonna be counter-strike but they spend their time in the military as a power plant technician in a government power plant supplying power for a base. Or in sewage treatment. Ow whatever. Which there's nothing wrong with that, but that's what the movies show.

I can tell you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. I'm in the military, been in for 3 years, NONE of that is true.

[QUOTE="Dutch_Mix"]I wonder how many people here giving out advice have actually been in the armed forces...Tolwan

Not in, but on my way. I'll be in Basic by October, and ship off to MEPS (Military Entrance Processing Station) next week.

MEPS sucks, good luck.

hi, i wanted to ask a big question, which is "should i join the army?" . i play war video games and watch war movies and also videos of soldiers in iraq and i'm way too tempted to join the army. i'm not american, i was just born there when my dad was a diplomat so therefore i don't have an american nationality or passport and they say if i join the army for 2 years i'll have US citizenship. the army in my country is basically in no war and it's not in any high risk of being in a war so the army i plan on joining is the US army. and i don't care about college funds or other aid, but my state of mind is making me thinkk heavily of joining the US army and then going back to my country. i've now seen most of the videos of real war footage on youtube and i can't get enough of it, i feel like being one of the soldiers out in the battlefield. yes i've been told about thhe consequences by some people but i can't get off of thinking about joining the army. i have 4 years (till i'm eighteen) to decide. i know my parents will be extremely angry at me if i join the army, when i have no business with it, instead of going to college. what's your opinion?comissario

A lot can change in 4 years, but the Armed Forces is NOT a bad decision. I personally wouldn't reccomend the Army, I would highly suggest the Air Force. I've been in the Air Force for the past 3 years (1 year to go), and I've had the best times of my life here. I wouldn't change this decision for anything in the world. I joined because I didn't know what to do with my life, and I had no money for college. Now, I'm enrolled in college (free of charge) pursuing a degree in Criminal Justice, and I've been an MP all along. I'll have a job sealed when I get out, no problem (with an honorable discharge, the sky's the limit). There are plenty of combat oriented jobs in the Air Force, such as Pararescue, Combat Controller, and more.

Yep, I lost my lip virginity today. I made a blog about it :) Wellll apparently my kiss was great, I gave my girlfriend a lot of kisses after that. It's great kissing her, even though I didn't have my chap stick with me :P

Having chapped lips sucked, thankfully my lips weren't chapped.

Anyway, when did you lose your 'lip virginity'?

That's the only virginity you're ever going to lose if you say things like "lip virginity"
