I'm 15 and I'm pretty sure I've got my heart set on joining the military. I have some questions...
For a woman 5'5"-5'6"...what's the ideal weight, body fat percentage, and how muscular do you have to be?
I've always been big boned and I have a large body frame. Is their a certain height you have to be?

What does it mean when people say women can't do combat? What do men do that women can't?

What's the best branch for women? I'm leaning towards the air force, not only because I want to, but because that's what my grandpa was in. Do you sky dive? I've always wanted to...I was wondering if there was any chance you could do that in the air force...? Lol...

Thank you! I know I have a lot to learn.

Bush says we shouldn't leave Iraq until we have accomplished our mission. My question is - what is our exact mission? I'm seeking serious answers here! If we don't know our mission, then how can we accomplish it? How will we know when our troops can come home again?

With all the talk about manpower problems & a reluctance to use women in combat roles, I was thinking. The French has used the foreign legion concept to attract men from arround the world. Currently we have many immigrants who hope to earn citizen ship thru military service. With people trying every day to come here illegaly why not solve two problems at once?
A American Foreign Legion? A dedicated recruitment of foreign nationals on the French model. Cubans, mexicans Haitians, Chinese, Columbians, Nigerians, etc. All want to come here and get a green card. Skip the smugling & rafts to Florida. Sign up & we give you a citezenship in 2 years. Well??????

This guy was a real idiot and no one wanted to fly with him due to his reckless behavior. The Air Force let him get away with it until he finally killed himself and a whole flight crew while trying to make a sharp turning manuever a few hundred feet above the runway.

The inactive reserve is being called up. How can this be? 50 million people voted for Bush so how come millions of republicans aren't lined up begging to go to Iraq?
