Ive already completed my asvab and physical, but during the urine test I had alot of protein in my urine, so i was temporarily disqualified, they told me to see my own doctor, which I did, and they gave me another urine test, and blood test, all of which came back clean and clear, and normal, that was the only thing keeping me out, and i got the records and the release of care from my doctor, faxed it to my recruiter, and hes faxing it to MEPS, and he said hes gonna try to get me in friday, Ive already takin the AIMS test as well, what will I be doing at MEPS again (my god I hate that place!) In your opinions am i in, or is there more test and bs involved, I hope its the last medical test, cause my god this crap is getting expensive! lol Thanx

My wife & I just bought our first home. We have been living in a Mobile Home I own out right and live in a nice park. I just put out a sign to sell the trailer before we move into our new home next month.

My problem is the owner of the park called me this morning and told me I better sell my trailer that I own to someone who is 55 or older.

Can he tell me who I can sell something I own to? It really just pissed me off. I'm 30 and their are people younger then me in the park.

As the nukes are falling on us from Iran, China and North Korea. Would you want some lawyer flipping through their book to determine if it is legal to respond, as we're getting wiped off the face of the earth? Or would you want someone willing to stand up with military experience (such as McCain) to respond and ask questions later?
Those nations above don't respect women anyway, so there's no way they'll respect a woman president. (not to be a bigot, but it's the cold, hard, truth)

PLEASE TELL THEM TO VOTE DOWN HR3043, IT'S UNFAIR THAT THE SENATE KEEPS TRYING TO SNEAK THIS BY THE AMERICAN PUBLIC WHEN THEY'VE CLEARLY SAID THEY DO NOT WANT THIS!

This will allow 40-80 million new residents OVERNIGHT, it's Shamnesty all over again, and we have to pay for them, for retroactive benefits, for their PARENTS to come here, and they're to get other benefits including social security and in-state tuition.

Lets say defendant swears up and down he didn't do a crime like rape of a child, but later informs his lawyer that he is paying that he did, and defense lawyer mounts a excellent defense and wins the case. How can a person sleep at night knowing his client is guilty.

When a cop fails to protect someone, when have they been sued successfully?

If a cop CANNOT be sued successfully for failing to protect civilians, why do somany think that we should rely on police for personal and immediate protection (after a phone call and 10 minute wait of corse).

The real question is… “Can the border patrol be charged with a crime if the man was backing up (while ramming the agents) toward Mexico?

SAN MANUEL — A suspected immigrant smuggler rammed a stolen pickup truck into a U.S. Border Patrol vehicle early Monday and then ran away.

Neither of the agents involved in the incident suffered serious injuries.

Agents found six illegal immigrants inside the truck. Four hailed from Honduras; one from El Salvador and the other from Guatemala. Local Border Patrol spokesman Oscar Saldaña said agents arrested them and prepared them for deportation.

The ramming occurred about 4:30 a.m. Monday after the agents spotted a Ford F-350 northbound on U.S. Highway 281, and a registration check revealed it had been reported stolen.

After the agents pulled the vehicle over, the driver backed into their sedan, smashing the front bumper and license plate.

The agents avoided any serious injuries by dodging the truck as it hurtled toward their sedan, Saldaña said.

Agents continued to search for the driver Tuesday, but Saldaña said the Border Patrol has not tapped all its resources.

Local sector Chief Ronald D. Vitiello released a statement warning that violence against agents would bring severe punishments.

“Unscrupulous human smugglers who inflict harm onto our Border Patrol Agents will be arrested and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law,” Vitiello said.

The owner of the Ford F-350 reported it stolen in the Houston suburb of Richmond. Agents seized the vehicle after the ramming incident.

There's truly no rational explanation why I'm even considering this, But, I'm considering joining the (IN) Army National Guard. I'm 19 & in my first year as a pre-med student. That means I have 4-8 years of college ahead of me if all goes as planned. I'm also a peaceful, strong-minded, stubborn, art student. Basically I'm the last person I'd ever picture in the army. I'm going to talk to a recruiter tomorrow. Here's the deal: I DON'T THINK I COULD FIGHT unless it were HERE in the States, protecting the homeland. Or even protecting other innocents. But what's going on in Iraq?! I don't know about that. In addition, I want to finish school un-interrupted! I'm terrified of dying. Definitely don't want that. & not sure I can handle a 12 month deployment. Yet, I want to be an active part of this country in more ways than politics. I don't want to be useless if something were to happen. Please anyone with true Army NG knowledge, please let me know if you think this is the worst idea ever!

I found out that my ex husband molested his little sister when he was a minor and went to jail for it. As a caring mother, this scares the hell out of me! At first it was ok cause he dint call or try to see her but now he is planing on taking me to court for my daughters custody and i was wondering if i could use that or if they would dismiss it cause he was a minor when it happened. On top of it he is very prone to violence. i don't trust him at all with my daughter and he refused visitation rights
