I went to MEPS last week and had the recruiter call and say that they found I had high cholesterol (I am 40) They sent the file to surgeon general in fort knoxx to apply for a wavier. Does anyone know about these waviers and how likely I am to get on for high cholesterol?

Right now I am a sophomore in engineering at the University of Illinois. I am just wondering how hard it is to become a fighter pilot in the navy...and how it is decided whether or not I can fly. What are the physical requirements, and do they test how smart you are?

I am in love with this guy who has just left to go to basic training in the navy. He left 08/16/06. He will be gone for 6mos' "im thinking". Is basic training for 6mo's? What items can they bring with them on the journey? Can they have cell phones? I know he told me his cell phone will be turned off, but it's still connected--he just have it turned off during the day. Many responders as possible--Thanks!

I mean really read the majority of them and you would think you were listening to a 6th grade classrooms ideas and stereotypes of todays military. If this is the knowledge base that most Americans have of today's fighting men and women and the details of military life it is no wonder we have such a deep chasm between those that serve and those who do not. I have answered more thoughtful, thought provoking questions from a class of 5th graders than what one supposedly sees from adults on this board. If the general population is this ignorant of it's military then America is in a world of hurt. I swear I have seen more intelligence in a group of kindergarten students about military affairs than I have seen off this site.

Why is America meddling in everybody's affairs everywhere across the seven seas and the seven skies. The demands of whom they call terrorists which is a recent phenomenon donot seem to be outrageous. They are asking for the end of exploitation and domination.They are speaking out against America's policies and macheavelli machinations.Would it not be ok for America that it remain within its borders like any other country. How underminging of sovereignty and dignity of nations achieve global peace. Now increasingly apart from the muslims people of the world has begun to smell evangelical fundamentalism a crusade in Ameericas goondaism. Shall we lap up all what America want the browns and black to believe?

I have an idea to make use of the deathrow convicts. Of course by choice not by force.
All deathrow convicts are given the choice to join a certain division of the army. They are trained properly and treated like other people in the military, they are just kept seperated from the others and can't be let free. They fly them over to the place of war and allow them to do the most dangerous missions. If they come back alive they are able to get off of death row but still have to stay in jail.
Pros: Using people who are going to die anyways. Giving people who messed up a chance to do something good with there lives before they die. Plus they already have the killing mentality.
Cons: Well they're cons so there is a huge list of them.

My Question: Would this be a good idea to implement such a division of the Armed Forces to fight the hard parts of the war.

I mean Iran and Syria are developing nuclear weapons and continuing to train terrorists so why doesn't the UN sanction Iran and let the U.S. and its allies invade Iran and Syria while we are already in Iraq? It is better to fight the enemy on their own territory than wait for them to attack us like they did on 9/11/01 isn't it?

Our son is a Marine serving in Iraq, and has about a month left. He is horribly home sick and losing his motivation. I'd like to start sending him words of encouragement to help boost his moral. Thank you in advance for your positive comments, and to those who wish to leave negative ones, it's just a shame you live in this country....

This is a serious question for the folks on the left out there: why do you support Hezbollah when they fire rockets at innocent Israeli civilians while hiding amongst their own people in civilian clothes? Both of these actions are specifically forbidden by the Geneva Conventions. So why say Hezbollah are the good guys when they do things like this?

I know I'm begging the question on this, but I couldn't think of a more neutral way to put this question.

Please note that I'm asking why you support Hezbollah, not why you support the Lebanese nor why you do not support Israel. Neither of those points are germane to this question.

People always say that economic sanctions only hurt the people as in Iraq (pre-war), North Korea and the Congo. But as we've seen, the leaders of these countries spend most of their money on military and war equipment rather than trying to feed their people. Take North korea for example. Their people are starving, yet they don't seem to have any shortage of military equipment. The sad truth is that the United States probably cares more about the suffering in North Korea than Kim Jong Il. The U.S. and South Korea would love to see a unified Korea some day, but the North just doesn't have a clue. If these madman dictators gave up their pursuit of regional dominance, there would be more than enough money to help their own people -- even under U.N. sanctions.
