However, I have a masters degree in healthcare and when I spoke to the officer recruiters they stated I can go in as an officer. Well hubby on the other hand has an associate's and he has to go in enlisted. Hubby doesn't want to wait until he gets his degree to go in. With the Fratenization policies, etc. Can we go in the military and be married, live together,etc? Is this accepted in the military?

Jack owned Jill $2000, and this was supposed to be repaid on 1st may. However, on 1st April, because she needed some money urgently, Jill told jack that he needed to repay her only $1500 and that she would forgo the balance. So jack paid $1500 on 1st April.

But 2 weeks later, Jill changed her mind about forgoing the balance sum $500.she now wants jack to pay her $500 also. Can she insist that jack pay her this $500 now?

Would Liberals condemn the squelching of free speech and student protests?

Of course they would CLAIM to condemn such actions...but the silence from the Left is deafening when it comes to this latest example:

CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — Masked gunmen opened fire on students returning from a march in which tens of thousands of Venezuelans denounced President Hugo Chavez's attempts to expand his power through constitutional changes.

Photographers for The Associated Press saw at least four gunmen — their faces covered by ski masks or T-shirts — firing handguns at the anti-Chavez crowd at the UCV. Terrified students ran through the campus as ambulances arrived.

Those on the Left whined for YEARS about the Kent State scumbags being waxed. But when it comes to socialist despots like Chavez silencing dissent and free speech...thats just par for the course

How long will it take American's to realize that their getting...?

...strapped on tighter than a gas mask by this countries politicians??? I mean a CONTINUING devalued dollar & sky rocketing taxes(property taxes alone!) have turned the American dream into just that, a DREAM!!! I keep telling people to check out their candidate, regardless of the level of office, & make sure the candidate is NOT a politician but a constitutionally based REPRESENTATIVE. I'm shocked at how many American's did not know that the two words have TWO DISTINCT DIFFERENT meanings. A quick check on an on line dictionary tells the story for any one interested. For the uninformed, the words politician & representative are not even "field" related!!! How did the term politician get surplanted in place of the word "representative"??? Are your candidates constitutionally based representatives or just politicians? Do you know how to check it out so you CAN tell the difference? Would you willingly vote for a candidate that you knew was NOT representing you constitutionally?

Are you worried that computerized voting can be too easily cheated?

Robin Williams' movie "Man of the Year" wasn't just humor, after all. We are in fact putting computerized voting into place all over the country. Any number of people have demonstrated that it is easy to hack into the computers used and change votes. Do you think it's still possible to have a (reasonably) fair election in the US?

Why would Hillary campaign plant questions about global warming at 'town hall' meetings?

She claims she didn't know but that would be worse. If she doesn't know what her campaign is doing, how will she know what her administration is doing?

Maybe she wants to be next director of FEMA?

Will America ever make a profit from the war in Iraq?

I was watching PBS, and they said the Iraq has more untapped oil than saudi arabia. And that the iraqi government will give 3/4 of that oil to american countries.

Obviously, this will benefit bush(GOD I HATE BUSH!!!), but will america make a profit. Will we as a country as a whole make more money from the oil than the costs to obtain it(military presence costs etc...)?
