So im just curiouse to see all the people going or hopefully wanting to join into some branch of the military.

 

Seing as i am a woman im limited as to what i can do but, hopefully im goining into the Airforce soon.

 

 

 

so just curiouse what would you join if you could be in the military?

I'd probably go in as an Officer after training and leave after a few years. There are a lot of bonuses to your career that you can get from a few years in the army, especially as an officer, and they will also sponsor you through University, that's what my cousins have done. However the army isn't my calling I don't think.

Conscription ftw

 

 

 

I go to the army in January 2010 and it will last 6 or 12 months, depending how "good" I do.

ha ha very nice

First, I'm doing a degree in History (focus point "Modern day warfare) and psychology, both useful on the battlefield and interesting degrees, also means I can be a History teacher once I leave the military.

 

 

 

I plan on joining the 16th regiment (Para's, it will challenge me more than a standard regiment due to my fear of heights) as an officer in the British army once I finish my degrees, then if I consider my self up to it I will attempt to join the SAS (97% failure rate for applicants) which is my life goal, to join the SAS.

 

 

 

My family has a history in the British army, Irish army and the IRB, there's nothing I want to do more than join the army and succeed in it.

I'm not planning to join the military, but the Navy always did appeal to me somewhat.

Honestly, I don't think the military is right for me, but if I had to choose one part it would be the Navy. I don't know why, but it has always been the one that stuck out the most for me.

I'm in the Marine Corps Reserves, going on 2 years. I work in Landing Support and i should pickup E-4 very soon and become an NCO. I'll be deploying to the middle east for my 2nd tour in the next few months.

 

 

 

The Military is a great opportunity, gives you a lot of great skills that you might miss or not get in the civilian world. Plus you have the opportunity to do some things that most people will just dream of. I'm in the best physical shape of my life, i've become 10 times more confident with myself and abilities, i never quit things, and i'd like to think i am a finely tuned killing machine that can be turned on with the flip of a switch. ;)

 

 

 

Officer programs are great, power to those that do it. Personally i have no intentions of going officer, nor making it a career. I love the enlisted side of things to much.

 

 

 

All branches are a good choice. I figured if i was going to do something i wanted to be the best at it. And thats what i consider the Marines, the most elite of the branches. Air Force and Navy seemed to be geared a lot more towards the person's future after the military, their job training and jobs available are much more specific and refined. While the Army and Marines are more combat oriented and provide broad training. Still very usable after the military but not as much as the Air Force and Navy seem to be. At least to me.

 

 

 

The Navy finally just got a new Digital Utility uniform. A new selling point for them. Looks terrible and total garbage lol. ;)

^ i love your post lol gives great personal detail from someone who has been there =)

Feel free to ask any questions. I can't always speak the truth for the other branches but i can give a general viewpoint, as i've worked alongside all of them and know how the government/military works.

I might just take u up on that =)

 

I have so many questions that need answering lol.

I don't see myself ever joining the military.

^Loldesperate.

 

 

 

Im still thinking about going into the Military, but if i don't want to go in at the bottom, as tintin said and train to be an officer. Also looking at going into the RAF.

Not at all.^

Technically you still go in at the bottom becoming an officer. Its a whole other totem pole to climb. I heard something pretty funny the other day. A Master Gunnery Sergeant (one of the highest enlisted ranks you can get in the Marines) walked past a fresh 2nd Lt and didn't salute. The 2nd Lt stopped him and told him he needed to salute all officers. The Master Guns looked at him and said, screw you why don't you climb my rockers and come get it. I was like YES!

Anyways, I don't feel I'll join the military. It doesn't really offer anything of interest to me, aside from maybe a good workout.

What exactly does the Navy do nowadays?

 

 

 

The only useful things that I'd think we'd need are carriers and subs, but we have a hell of alot more than that.

As of Joes So Cool's post, she has stopped posting.

 

 

 

Gf.

 

 

 

:P Jk.

Probably grunt. Although I'd be a pilot anyday, eyes aren't good enough.

Lots of things. In an active combat role, not much aside from transport, some air support, medical and....yeah that seems about it. Defense against pirates too. I've heard of individuals that actually do combat ops such as patrols or security but i'd think thats a very rare occurrence, especially these days. The most Navy personal you will find in theater will be the Navy Corpsmen (Doc) attached to the Marines. I do know the Navy does some EOD, so EOD might see some action.

I'm not sure about America, whether it's done by the coastguard or the Navy but in many countries the Navy are also used in combating drug smuggling. In both Britain and Ireland the vast majority of drugs raids at sea are done by the Navy, not the coastguard anymore. I know there is also specialist units such as divers dealing with undetonated explosives and suspicious sub-aqua "devices".

 

 

 

Other than that, pretty much what Kriegs said, I think you'll very rarely see actual warfare in the Navy if you're a standard seaman. As I said though, not sure about the American army.

Yeah, you just need to take out the animated part.

 

 

 

Anyway, the military has never interested me as a career, mainly because I got tired of one guy constantly going on about how he was going to join the army and [cabbage].

 

 

 

He was the type you don't want to give a gun to. He probably thought it was like the games and it was all killing.
