I know recruiters are supposed to make joining the military sound good. but is it really all what its cracked up to be? Im just asking cause Im worried my boyfriend will be making the wrong decision for the next four to six years. (well not being heppy with joining the airforce).

the recruiters told him he gets to choose a program (i.e. aviation mechanic) and go to school for that (take a program) and learn to fly while in school... and thet they will pay for housing, food and school? it sounds too good to be true.

on the other hand I hear stories that you may not end up in the program you wanted liek you will be put into fueling instead of learning to be a mechanic. or after boot camp you will just be shipped off for the wars in afganistan and iraq


is this true?

would it be better for him to get a degree and join the airforce as an officer?

Here are the draft plans for the George W. Bush Library:
The Alberto Gonzales Room - Where you can't remember any of the exhibits.

The Hurricane Katrina Room - It's still under construction.

The Texas Air National Guard Room - Where you don't have to even go.

The Walter Reed Hospital Room - Where they don't let you in.

The Guantanamo Bay Room - Where they don't let you out.

The Weapons of Mass Destruction Room - Nobody has been able to find it.

The War in Iraq Room - After you complete your first tour, they can force you to go back for your second and third and fourth and fifth tours.

The K-Street Project Gift Shop - Where you can buy an election, or, if no one cares, steal one.

The Men's Room - Where you might meet a Republican Senator (or two).

The books so far are the rare two books that Bush has actually read, and somewhat understands:
"My Pet Goat" and "Coloring for Dummies."

Don't you think it was plain STUPID and IRONIC that the terrorists of 9/11 wanted to do 9/11 to show their power and to respond to the propaganda in the 90's in a prideful manner. They wanted to bring utter glory when yet nearly EVERY Arab is scolded by someone in this society? Share your thoughts of how ironic and stupid their intent was?

the USA is the only country in the world that doesnt have Universal Health Care and we are one of the unhealthiest nations on earth. Life span in Canada is 80. life span in Europe is higher.

Universal Health care countries even give preventative treatments and care.

People will pay for this with higher taxes.


60 Million Americans Currently UNINSURED!

Republicans even fought a Bill that would cover Children. ( Not a Joke . This really happened)

Universal healthcare is excellent in Canada and Europe. I have friends that live in both countries and they say they LOVE the Services the NHS ( National Health Servies) Provides.

Why cant we as Americans see the benefits of this amazing life saving program.

Republicans dont realize even the private insurance compaines rip you off all the time. They sometimes wont pay benefits for life saving treatments. ITS ALL FOR ((( PROFIT ))

There is a higher % of illegals in the population in the southwest and west coast than in the US as a whole. And the strongest negative effects of illegal immigration are felt there with the competition for low wage jobs and the stress on providing social services including schooling.

So the negative effects are most concentrated in the southwestern states and they are visible and the positive effects to the US like lower food prices and service costs and the taxes that illegals pay are more spread out.

It seems like they most of them hold office around 8 years or more. Why do they have such long terms unlike Australian PM's (John Howard is an exception).

About 7 years ago I was young and made the mistake of getting into the wrong crowd. We were caught with alcohol and marijuana. Since then I have become a respectable citizen, husband and parent. I finished college with honors. I own a house and have been with my good paying job over 6 years. It just bothers me that the mistakes I made as a teenager are still with me today. I accepted my punishment and moved on. Is there anyway for me to get this taken off my record? Has anyone done this before and can you list the sites and steps I need to accomplish this. I'm only asking for help not critisism. Thanks!

The USA stole California and Texas from Mexico so when USA citizens start their rants about illegals do they ever consider who the illegals actually are?
