Military - August 2006

I have 3 children. I have read that I must give up temp custody while in basic training...would this be to my husband or another family member?
Would I even have a chance to get a waiver for the number of children I have? I have a Bachelor's Degree and qualify to become an officer but I just need to know.......do I have a chance for a waiver?

I just was hoping someone would have some good advice for me. I am taking my last class in college, graduating with a history degree and working in an accounting office (yes I know its weird) I have been studying for the flight test a bit now. I spent 2 1/2 years in Army ROTC in college but had to get out because of class conflicts. I have a good grasp on general military knowledge and understanding. I am 5'1" and about 100 pounds and in good shape. I'm just looking for any advice that would be useful. Thanks in advance!

I am very curious to know why you think the War in Iraq is illegal? Logical reasoning would be greatly appreciated.

I saw a show on the History Channel titled Bible Battles. The main expert on the show was in Vietnam (I believe) and wrote a book (I believe). What is his name/book or other books like it? I'm looking for information on the prophets found in the Old Testament, including Moses and Abraham

I have a question about how the military rank or hierarchy system works. I realize there are many ranks in the military such as private, corporal, captain, lieutenant, major, colonel, etc.
Suppose you want to become a career soldier. How long does it take to become a general (the highest rank) from a private (the lowest rank)?

Israel is strong but they couldnt even defeat hezbollah

Israel is constantly targeting children. I think ALL arab countries should teach the israeli despot regime a lesson.

I hate terrorism, whether its islamic or jewish

That's almost a quarter of a million miles per minute. Whoa.

4000 miles per second -- the speed of projectiles fired from a "Metal Storm" weapon. This is radically heavy firepower.

Anyone else watching Discovery tonight? "Future Weapons" ???

I have seen it at every post I have been at. E-4's with 4-5 kids and a woman who spends up all there money. Then, when it's time to buy ACU's and equipment, they are always coming to us asking for AER and other help. We have to take batallion donations every holiday for food and money for these people so their kids can have a good holiday. I personally feel like it's unfair, and if you can't support them, don't whip it out and screw. One of my soldiers has 4 kids under 4, and can't afford to keep gas in his car. When it's time to train and be somewhere, that's a problem. I don't understand this. But we trust these people with weapons? They can't even be trusted to make sound decisions with their own dick.

Do you think they're a little egotistical, departmental, and tend to be more dominant in a relationship? If you think so, why do you think this is? Or maybe its just 18-25 year old guys in general? I dont know tell me your opinions:-)

I believe the USA should feel shame for sending young American men/women to be killed in an illegal war. Shame on the USA. Shame on the war supporters.

Every time a person says that the U.S cannot invade Iran a bunch of patriots come and brag about how America has stealth technology and they can whoop any country with 17,000 nukes.
Why do Americans like to under estimate their rivals every time they are victorious. By asking this question everyone will say
that I am from a 3rd world country and that America will bomb my
home and stuff. How many of you people actually think that the U.S
can do Iran like Iraq. I don't like iran and I like America for what you people stand for but is it time to grow up and face the facts that
America just can't throw some fire crackers at everyone
that piss them off without taking tolls.
