The Army

[likemclever]

I was in the Air Force and I donâ??t regret one single day. I got to travel my ass off. I got 30 days vacation a year. I got excellent medical coverage. I got top notch training. I got to meet some of the greatest people in the world that I never would have met otherwise. I had my wisdom teeth removed free. I had a baby for freeâ?¦. And most importantly I got to serve my country. And when I got out they gave me $1000.00 dollars a month just to go to school.

And in the States a typical enlistment is 4 years active duty (actively serving) and 4 years inactive duty (eligible for recall.) Usually at the end of your 4 years active service you are given the option to reenlist (usually with a handsome cash bonus/ the more money they have invested in a soldier the bigger the bonus)

Id go with the marines but the only way id EVER join up is if i fukked up my life bad enough, then id join the marines solely because they see more action and are more hardcore. Be a badass and go infantry rifleman....

If you want to join for an education....dont look at me...

u sign up for 25 years but u can leave after just over 2 n half years
i got a mate in the marines hes off to afghan later this year for 6 months

I was in the usnavy for 4 years. Had fun saw the world. but this was late 90's...wouldnt recommend joining now, unless you like Iraq, Iran, or Afghanistan.

What do people here think of the army?

Has anyone been in the army before of thinking about joining.

I personally couldn't see what anyone would want to (in the UK) because you have to go for at least quite a long amount of time at least 20 something years its just like another version of prison but worse.

I was in the Army. If i knew then what i knew now about how our military is used i would of never served. My advice? learn to play an instrument.

Sam Stone
came home
to his wife and family
after serving in the conflict overseas
and the time that he served
had rattled all his nerves
and left a little shrapnel in his knee
but the morphine eased the pain
and the grass grew around his brain
gave him all the confidence he lacked
with a purple heart and a monkey on his back

There's a hole in daddys arm where all the money goes
Jesus Christ died for nothing i suppose
little pitures have big ears
dont stop to count the years
sweet songs never last too long on broken radios

Sam Stone
Was alone
when he popped his last ballon
climbing walls while sitiing in a chair
and they played his last request
while the room smelled just like death
with an overdose hanging in the air

Well im not 100% sure thats what a mate told me who was going to join, but if you want to sign up properly then you can just do it for a few years i dont think

I think Campbell is half-right on this one. I have a mate in the UK army that told me that if you go into a specialized field then you have to commit like years to the army. I don't know we were both sloshed and he was probably talking crap, but he also told me that he does judo and to do judo for the army's judo team then you have to be a 'career' enlisted or something.

Anyone to verify? I HAVE heard that the uk army is crap.

I was going to Join the Marines a few years back, so it would help me with school. And I have a strong sense of pride for my country (USA) and it's potential.

But the officer was being a dick and I caught him in a bunch of lies; it just put a really bad taste in my mouth. I remember him asking him what my chances were of being shipped to Iraq if I joined the Reserves, and he's like "oh, next to non-existant, bro. People who join rarey ever see combat".

Liar or not, I guess it just wasn't for me. I respect whole-heartidly the men and women who serve. Even if they're only going in to "get theirs". It's still them on the field, and we can do what we do safely just because they put themselves there.

No its ok I have a future .

But I'm sure if everything falls down the shit hole I'll just puss out on life and join this fake,fabricated fun they call a "job" like everyone else.
