If an American volunteers to serve in the IDF does he lose his US citizenship, or are there legal loopholes?

My husband is in US Navy boot camp.. He's been there a month and we still have not recieved his first paycheck. (pay day= 1st & 15th)The recruiters said AFTER he left that I probably won't get the check until the 15h of this month.. My rent's due tomorrow. I'm in college, and working part time, i have NO money to pay rent.
I went in and talked to my apt. manager today and explained the situation, and she said they still have to issue us an eviction notice on the 8th, and our paying rent late will go on our record. And we are also getting a late fee, (which is normal when you pay it late..) And if I don't pay it before the 20th of this month, ill be getting evicted.

Is there any kind of law or ANYTHING that can prevent us getting evicted, because he's in the away in military? Its just sooo unfair because they take FOREVERRR to issue pay I guess! I can't even talk to him either, only through letters. Its so frusterating. If you know anything, it would help a ton. Thank you so much!

Can We All Agree These Are Reasonable Policy Recommendations to End the Conservative Nanny State?

Trade and Immigration
While these policies redistribute upward by putting less-skilled workers in competition with workers in the developing world, they can be redesigned to redistribute income downward. New trade agreements should focus on increasing competition for the most highly paid professionals rather than less-skilled workers (e.g., physicians, lawyers, accountants, etc.). This should be done by standardizing licensing requirements across states and making them fully transparent so that people can train and test anywhere in the world to meet U.S. standards. (This is analogous to what has been done to facilitate imports of manufactured goods.)
The Federal Reserve Board
All the members of the Open Market Committee (OMC), which controls the country’s money supply and interest rate policy, should be appointed by

My brother owes back child support. He is a contractor and the only bread winner. He went to pick up his check and was told that "bill collector" garnished 100% of his check. He gets paid once a month. How is this possible?

The ron Paul people have somehow got to get a grip on reality. Ron Paul has one mainstream platform: He's anti-war. So are all the Democrats. Let's pretend for two seconds that Jesus comes down from heaven and Ron Paul actually gets the Republican nomination. Then there's a big problem for the Republicans. Ron Paul is not a Republican. He's a hard core Libertarian. Hard core Libertarians are nuts. Ron Paul is on record advocating lunatic libertarian policies that are WAY outside the mainstream. The Democratic candidate would have a field day with his past. He'd be crushed in the general election. He might not even get 15% of the vote. You people that are so enamored with Ron Paul because he's an anti-war "Republican" need to come to grips with reality and start supporting a Democrat. In America, we elect idiots, but not lunatics....

I've never been a conspiracy theorist, but I'll tell you, this one gives me the creeps. Do you believe it is the truth? Or is this another conspiracy theory?

From the time they bailed out Europe after WW2 everything they have done outside the US seems to have been foolish, shortsighted or self-defeating. Why?

Crime code for it is 18 PA.C.S. paragraph 6308.

It was actually an underage drinking case in 2004.

I did some research, and it seems that maximum sentence might be up to 6 months.
Is this right?
I know that we have police officers visiting these discussions.
Can you please help?

Thank you.

I'm in good shape, I've been weightlifting and playing football since Sophomore year at high school. I took a course last year, I'm a Senior now, that gave me 12 credits towards a degree in Criminal Justice. I've had around a 3.2 all through high school, and my dad's a Sergeant with IPD. How hard would it be for me to get a job as a cop right out of high school?

What are your thoughts. I think that if people need assistance for a short period of time just until they get back on their feet then that is fine. I was on foodstamps for a period of time when I was out of work after having my son. But got off of them as soon as I came back to work and was stable. I think the goverment should make these people that think it is ok to just sit on there A**es and collect get out there and get a job.... what do you think??? Maybe someone here can make me change my view on this!!
