Military - October 2006

I recently had a pcl reconstruction on my right knee due to an injury I received while training. Prior to joining the Army I had to get a waiver due to an acl reconstruction I had a few years before. Do you think that with the pcl surgery combined with the prior acl surgery I will be medically discharged?

murphy's laws of combat
You are not Superman.
If it's stupid but it works, it isn't stupid.
Never draw fire; it irritates everyone around you.
Odd or conspicuous objects attract fire. Never lurk behind one.
Armored vehicles are bullet magnets.
Incoming fire has the right of way.
It's not the one with your name on it; it's the one addressed "to whom it may concern" you've got to think about.
The only thing more accurate than incoming enemy fire is incoming friendly fire.
Tracers work both ways.
If the enemy is in range, so are you.
If the sergeant can see you, so can the enemy.
Those who hesitate under fire usually do not end up KIA or WIA.
There is nothing more satisfying than having someone take a shot at you, and miss.
Avoid loud noises; there are few silent killers in a combat zone.
One enemy soldier is never enough, but two is entirely too many.
Try to look unimportant. The enemy may be low on ammo.
When in doubt, empty your magazine. Ammo is chea

Thats what disgusts me most about Bush. Its all very well and good to talk about the glory of our mission etc etc. What about the nuts and bolts of waging a war? About a young lad, 18, just growing up in middle town america whose life is destroyed when hes ripped apart by a mine, just cause he fought for his country in a war he may or many have believed in.

Does Bush think about that when he makes these grandious and sweeping decisions. Its all very well for him to sit in his ivory tower, but real people are paying real consequences for his actions and I truly believe he doesnt comprehend that!

Reviewing the aforementioned site indicates that the Bush Administration knowingly went into Iraq to find non-existent WMDs. This was proved by recent main stream articles which stated that none were going to be found. Therefore the approximate 800,000 people that have died in the 10 years of economic sanctions and two wars have died without JUST CAUSE ergo they were murdered.

The aforementioned link indicates a study undertaken to outline the stages of genocide. Now please read and think how this applys to current events and answer with your rational arguments.

Don't you think if 300,000 men went into Iraq in the beginning, as Gen Shinseki recommended, it would be stable by now?

Last time I heard was the British army was considering the replace their SA-80 A2 for the reliability issues. They said the U.K. will choose the new weapon on the year 2005 or so.

Did they adopted a new weapon? If they did, what do they have now?

I heard they are thinking of choosing either HK G36, Colt M16 A2, and FN F2000.

I hear a lot of news of collateral damage, but when muslims terrorize civilian populations, I hear nothing. Does anyone feel they employ a double standard? They get mad for actions they themselves encourage. Jihad anyone?

I'm a long-time Fla. resident. I've never served, but I have a lot of respect for those who do.
Back in 2000 when the votes were being re-counted here, there was a question over how to deal with ballots cast by Expats.
I know? that a lot of those ballots were cast by Servicemen
stationed overseas. But were? rejected for not having a Zip Code.
Just curious if Zip Codes are given out by Company,Division, etc.
or are they assigned by your Home Base back here in the States?

BTW My wife is a U.S.P.S. employee, and she didn't know either.

Thanks

On the highways, I noticed over passes pretty much every 2 miles. I'm assuming it has something to do with the military. Also, I saw round marks on the grass and some of those areas were raised. Are those where the missile silos are?

My husband is a former Marine. With that being said, that means that he completed his Basic Training and was sent to Camp LaJune for "job" training, but before he could begin this training he was discharged with a nondisabling knee injury and told in a year he could re-enlist. My question is, it has been 3 years since his discharge, and he wants to enlist in the Air Force. Will he be able to enlist? And if so, will he have to go through AF basic training before "job" training? Or will his prior Military service and his Lance Corpal position stand?
