Joining the US military

Military officers don't act that way. Not in real life. Shame if some did, which rarely is the case.

If ever anyone here plans to enter the military, get in as a Reserve Officer. It'll take you places more than the Enlisted Personnel programs. More work though, but better rewards.

 

I loved the army it was great.
Don't join a shitty regiment like infantry, thats where all the guys are that just want to get drunk and fight and dont take it serious, a lot are only there because they can't get a job. The best soldiers ive seen were the royal marines, they made our infantry look like little boys. Aim high, go for the best regiments and make a career.

 

The chinese have a saying for that: The nail that sticks out, gets hammered down.

I can only speak of the Dutch airforce and the higher education you have the higher in rank you can get. All I can say is that it formed me into the man I am today. Absolutely no regrets or doubts about that decision to join the airforce.

 

Thanks all.

So I can do this program in High School? How will that go about?

 

my recruiter sucked balls man, and just about every military person around my area are a bunch of pussies, no seriously i went to school with 90% of them and i swear the only reason they joined was so they could look cool when they came back.../fail... dont do it unless you're serious. ive lost 2 close friends in iraq, the only friend i have left in the military now is a satellite technician in south korea . like the other people in this thread said. make a career out of it dont just do the minimum

 

Yeah I'll keep that in mind. By the way are we going to end up in war with South Korea?

 

Shit that could be bad considering they have nukes. It's the Cold War all over again.

 

yea im betting even if north korea tried to launch a nuke it would malfuction before it hit the air. i'd be more worried about another plane getting hijacked before they could even launch a military assault on anyone

 

true, our nukes are hollow and probably filled with candy.. with the fund money used to make them put into a new presidential golf course

 

I hope you read it wrong, because we are allies with South Korea.

Not sure if you are American or know anything about our military, but we would obliterate North Korea if we do goto war.

Don't listen to that guy as well, 99% of the people that joined to "look cool" ends up washing out in boot camp. You don't have to necessarily have to make a career out of it. I've been in for 4 years now and I'm probably getting out in 2-3 years. I served my time and I'll be using the skillset the military taught me in the civilian world. It's been a great experience for me so far and I have deployed before.

 

You are insisting the chances of US nukes malfunctioning is on par with NK nukes, which is a joke.

 

Troll alert.

 

Christopher Metsos, is that you?

 

we got what he meant

im pretty sure we'd win but it wouldnt be an obliteration. you're in the army you should know how broke we are.. we'd be lucky to be able to deploy 10k troops before the planes ran outta gas. we'd be stupid to enter a war with north korea while being in iraq.

our technology wins but our funds /fail
