My grandpa was a marine, and he told me that when he was younger, he had a friend who joined at 17yrs old by having his mom sign for permission. Im just wondering if it's still possible.

I'm 16 and as long as I can remember I've wanted to be a sniper. I'm a very outgoing girl, and I'm really strong to. I grew up with all boys and they're all in the armed services. They love it. I love a challenge! I'm in 3 different martial arts classes and I'm top of the class. I have a brown belt and two green belts. I go hunting with my father and I love guns and I love to shoot. I also love to fight. My only refferal was for beating up a fellow football player. I play football, and I love the thrill the game gives me. I would love to be in the arm services, but I don't like medical and I wanna be front line. I can prove myself to anyone. I know it's not like halo, but I wanna do this. It's just kinda messed up that my gender is keeping me from my aspiration.

I'm currently a graduate student and I've established a career goal. I want to work for the Department of Labor. Specifically the Employment & Training Administration. I've come to realize a lot of times it's who you know instead of what you know, but I'm just trying to get my foot in th door and I don't know where to start. Also, I was wondering if I need to complete my masters degree, especially if I work my way from the bottom to the top?

Their father kidnapped them to Turkey. We as a family are not allowed any connections with the kids (12, 9 and 3 yrs old). It has been 1 and a half years since he took the kids from my sister. They are going through a VERY terrible divorce and I would not ever contact him. I miss my neices and nephew and want them to know I still love them. How do I find out the address of thier grandparents to just start mailing cards and stuff? They are in Trabzon, Turkey and I am in California, USA.

3 weeks ago I was driving down I-15 with my husband just having a regular conversation. We just got back from a movie. I was smoking a cigarette and I ashed out the window like how many of us do? Anyway all of a sudden we are getting pulled over. Well when I ashed my cherry flew off and It was dark so the cop apparently saw this. I explained to him that when I ashed it flew off and I didn't mean for me to loose the cherry. He said regardless ashing out the window is still illegal in the state of california. So....I recieved the bill in the mail today! Guess how much 571.00!! Isn't that a lil ridiculous? So should I go to court and expain this again do you think I have a chance of at least reducing the fine? I am from Minnesota and I had no idea california had such a law that you can't even ash outside. I am in the middle of the mojave dessert there isn't anything that is going to burn anyway! lol

I mean giving some people permits to immigrate for say construction or farming with the understanding that their time would be limited. Although they could extend it if they were still working on a project..for example mine construction or civil/infrastructure.

And they or their employer would have to post a performance bond for their behaviour in country and agreing to leave when their time is over.

I don't say this is the total solution to problems of illegal immigration. I suggest that it is a way to get honest people who are willling to work and who want to do the right thing.

What do you think? :)

I have a notice to Appear in Court for a Speeding Ticket.


I am confused, the details say this:

When: "w/in"
Date: 60 Days
Time: 8:30


The cop wrote all of this when i was pulled over and gave it to me on the notice. I was given no Speeding ticket. This is my second...why was I not given the actual ticket?

Iraq's most influential Shiite politician said Sunday that the U.S had not backed up claims that Iran is fueling violence here, underscoring a wide gap on the issue between Washington and the Shiite-led Baghdad government.

A draft bill to ease curbs on ex-Saddam Hussein loyalists in government services also drew sharp criticism from Shiite lawmakers, opening old wounds at a time when the United States is pressing the Iraqis for compromise for the sake of national unity.

Heres more of what the ingrate had to say, if you care to read it.

When it comes to sacrifice, the Johnston family has given far more than most. Mr. Johnston's brother was killed in Vietnam in 1970. His son Gary, named for the uncle he never met, was killed in Iraq earlier this year.

"Before my son left for Iraq," says Mr. Johnston, "we sat down in the living room, and he planned his funeral. He had few requests. He did ask to be buried next to his uncle, in Archer City." I told him Vietnam was a worthless war and the Iraq war was and is based on lies but my son still enlisted and went to war and died." Why didn't the USA learn from Vietnam?" Mr Johnson said. Why?

If a student tells a teacher about an instance where they were sexually harassed, what is the teacher required to do? Does it go to the principal who informs the authorities? Or how does that work?

It's a long story, but I am asking this question for one of my friends.

What is the definition of illegal?

Can you give a honest reply or will you just scream that no human can be illegal?

Does acting in an illegal manner make you a criminal, or not?
