If your child wanted to join the military

What would be your reaction?

 

I wouldn't like it, but I also wouldn't try to stop them.

I'm not too concerned. With as crazy and left wing as we are, I don't think our kids are gonna really want to join the military. I don't know, though...they may rebel...lol.

 

it should be their choice and thats about it. i joined after high school. served four years and got the fuck out. i learned that the air force wasn't for me. but im proud of it nonetheless.

 

I have a feeling my kids won't want to join up anyway.

If you don't eat it, it's a waste.

 

I'd let him do it...if he wants to, I'm not standing in the way. I'd be afraid, yeah, but I'd admire and respect his decision

 

AS them to write a diary.

 

prolly suggest the peace corps instead

 

I'd rather have a gun :]


I'm 17 and joining the marine corps this month if I go through with my decision, my parents are actually supportive and proud of my decision. It's really a biiiig and very important decision, scary though. :\

my dad wants me to join

i might in due time, course I'll be doing something I want to do or else I won't sign any papers to join...which pretty much means i won't ever be joining

 

If you do, make sure you sign your release papers, or you'll be back on duty in 20 years...fightin' us Brit's, probably.

 

hm at least imnot alone here with this predicament.
i bring it up because im crisis mode... i went to school for something but now want to study medicine or some other health profession and i was seriously considering the air force scholarship program for health careers. i told my mom and shes really upset. basically i think you have to serve for as many years as they pay for school, and that could be around 4. (and i never in a million years would have considered serving in the past, but i dunno... something came over me recently?) so yeah i think my family will be devastated, thats the problem

 

It's their decision ..... have 2 that didn't .. and that's cool. They were born on a military base... hey Odon I was stationed over there. What was the saying about yanks there.

Over sexed , Over paid and over here

One just might ....??

 

yeah, Sylph ish... 4 years standard AF enlistment.. or there is alway the 6 year sucker, that gets 2 stripes out of basic.

 

I enlisted in the army a few years ago, but during training, I decided to get myself kicked out because I realized that the army didn't give a fuck about me. They worked a kid so hard in basic training that he actually dropped dead during a field exercise, then they told his family that he died in his sleep from a heart attack. Fuck that shit. I ended up getting sent home for a month to recover from a stress fracture and while I was at home for that month, I smoked about a 1/2oz per day so i could fail the piss test when I went back. hahaha It worked like a charm:sifone:

 

Tommy Trinder (1909-1989): "overpaid, overfed, oversexed and over here"

...well-meaning but blundering intercessors whom we'd rather preferred to have on our island than the Jerries. In British eyes: overdecorated, overstaffed, overmaintenanced and overbearing."

1/2 oz??..... better safe than sorry...lol

 

if you do go get commissioned. don't go enlisted.

you'll have a better quality of life, esp. in the AF.
