Once again, for my book in progress. if a person is coming out of ROTC and joins the army, becoming after a couple of years special forces, is it possible for him to become a lietenant colonel after 12 years?

P.S. thanks to all those who have shown interest in the book because of the questions. its a sort of Tom Clancy spy/thriller novel that i'll hopefully finish in the coming year. I'll let you all know how it's coming along.

I made lots of mistskes in the past 2 years. I am now 20 yr old and just got my G.E.D. and I have good ASVAB scores. I want to join the Marines, but they are now telling me I need 15 Community College credits, the Coast Gaurd will take me as is.
I am having a hard time deciding between the two because I work a 40-60hr a week job as an X-Ray technichian at a Cement Plant and I don't have the time to take the classes. Anyone have any EDUCATED input?

www.AppealForRedress.org is by enlisted soldiers who want thousands of US soldiers to enter their name and rank (and whether they've been in the Iraq Theater) to a legal appeal for redress on many issues, including a withdrawal of Iraq.

Their info would go straight to members of Congress, like a petition.

The appeal is legal under the federal Whistleblowers Act and is a request for the principal of withdrawal from iraq-- whether immediate, six months or a year.

Active duty service members want all kinds of oppression including rampant want problems exposed in military life, as well as sexism, homophobia, racism and military justice.

Other countries already have organizations and unions but US soldiers have nothing. US Soldiers are still citizens who don't lose their rights just because they are in the military but they have no group.

Even though there are no reprisals, do soldiers deserve to voice their opinions on these matters?

Considering womens lib and equal rights (yes, I do have a teenage daughter at home that might be chosen, and a son, 18 currently serving in Iraq). Should gender in today's society make a difference?

I'm not talking about a draft. Rather a national policy of all young people entering into some form of federal service upon graduation from high school which lasted until they turned 21. No deferments for college, rich and poor alike would have to contribute to making the country a better place for 2-3 years whether they served in the military, public works (building bridges and dams), working in a hospital or nursing home. Something that gave back a little bit, I feel that too many of our young citizens are growing up to be takers and don't feel a need to help contribute anything for the priviledges they are born to by living here.

I really don't get it. The army does NOT just take anyone. There are bad seeds in any branch and I personally know of a few marines that fall in that category. However I would never bash that entire branch because of a few bad ones. Don't these women know that as military spouses we should be supporting ALL of them instead of bashing them? I know I for one really like the marines...they do a great job supporting the army!

If President Bush's wants to find WMD's why doesn't he look in places like Panama in Central America rather than in Iraq as he might have more success ?

Apparently when the US soldiers were pulling out of the canal bases, rather than take their nerve gas, agent orange, sarin and mustard gas (from WW1 no less !!!) and all the other nasties they were storing there, they merely dug several holes and dumped it there (and off the coast), despite assurances that they would be disposed off properly and without leaving a dangerous legacy for future generations.

Now it seems that many of the munitions are unstable and leaking.

If President Bush is looking for WMD's should he not try looking first in places where the US dumped theirs ?

if the US wishes to use another country as a toilet, shouldn't they at least dispose of their pooh afterwards ?
