He was rushed into the Army by his recruiter against the wishes of his parents who wanted him to talk to the Navy and Air Force before he made an informed decision. The recruiter promised us he would not be signed up until he spoke to the other services. Be that as it may, he signed up into a delay program and has not received any training or money. He would now rather join the Navy in a regular position. Is this possible to change his status? He signed his contract less than 2 weeks ago. Any help with this dilema would be appreciated.

My boyfriend just joined the army back in late-September/early October and is still in his BCT.

I know he's signed all those contracts and everything but after the BCT, can he say that he finds out the whole idea doesn't really fit his idea and quit? In other words, is there a "trial period" at the beginning for people who have just joined?

It's not he's asking to quit but it's not like he likes to be in there and I really can't take it for much longer - all those worrying and restrictions on communication (I don't live in the US) and no freedom on choosing when/where to visit even on his holiday.

I have heard of "dishonorable discharge" and it'll make the person lose all the benefits/rights etc but if my boyfriend ends up relocating somewhere else does it still matter? Would it be as bad as a criminal record for the customs?

Authorities Probe Foreign Student Seeking Commercial Truck-Driving HAZMAT License

But he only wanted to learn how to drive forward -- reminiscent of those stories about the 9/11 hijackers telling flight instructors that they didn't need to learn how to take off or land, but only to fly.

By Liza Porteus for FoxNews, with thanks to TJ:

NEW YORK — Mohammed Yusef Mullawala wanted a license to transport hazardous materials and to learn how to drive commercial tractor trailers. There was nothing unusual about that, until he told his teacher that he only wanted to learn how to drive forward, and he wanted to learn fast.

That was enough to raise a red flag with Darleen Crawford, president of the Nationwide Tractor Trailer Driving School in Smithfield, R.I., where Mullawala took driving classes.

Federal and state authorities are investigating why Mullawala was seeking a commercial trucking license after his behavior raised flags at the Rhode Island driving school. Crawford said he was also insistent on taking the test necessary to earn a license to transport hazardous materials.

Mullawala, a 28-year-old citizen of India who is of Pakistani descent, is now in federal custody in Massachusetts on immigration violation charges....

Crawford started documenting suspicious activity: Mullawala lived in New York City but traveled to Rhode Island for the driving classes; he missed his first day of classes; and he was very insistent on getting his hazardous material transport license.

But the fact that he only seemed interested in driving forward was the most concerning.

"We tell them from Day One, 'you will be backing up,' 'you'll be backing up every single day,'" Crawford said, adding that it normally takes two to three weeks of practice backing up before drivers get road permits and learn how to drive forward, among other things.

The situation was reminiscent of when some of the Sept. 11, 2001, hijackers told their flight-school instructor they were only interested in how to fly planes at certain altitudes, not so much how to land or take off.

"He was just really pushing to get out of here," Crawford said. "I've been doing this for 30 years so you just sort of know when something doesn't feel right."...

Investigators learned that when Mullawala obtained his driver's license from the Rhode Island Registry of Motor Vehicles, he gave a false statement indicating he was a Rhode Island resident. ICE then determined he was a citizen of India and in the United States on an expired temporary student visa.

On Tuesday, Mullawala went to state police headquarters thinking he was responding to another matter. He was then apprehended and turned over to ICE....

The way I see it we invaded Iraq to "protect" the Shiite Muslims from Saddams Sunni Muslims but now that the Shiite Muslims are doing far worse to our soldiers than the Sunni's did would it not be better to remove ourselves from thisaffray and leave them to it with saddam back at leats there would be less chance of an alliance with Iran at least

The war with Iraq was justified on the basis that Saddam failed to comply with resolution 1441. Specifically this section of 1441:

“Iraqi production and use of weapons of mass destruction (biological weapons, chemical weapons, and long-range missiles), all in violation of U.N. resolutions.”

Saddam failed to explain the Yellow Cake document & denied Iraq had mobile chemical weapons labs. He insisted there were no WMD in Iraq. But the US had 100% proof they existed.

However - We now know the Yellow Cake document was a forgery sourced by Blair before the war.

The mobile weapons labs were really British balloon engines. It was a trap.

Saddam wasn’t lying as the documents were all forgeries created by the US/UK. Many other documents turned out to be forged (e.g. Blair’s dodgy dossier, the 45 mins WMD strike etc)

The only Iraqi that claimed Saddam had WMD was a known con man and a convicted fraudster who said anything we wanted for 2 million dollars.

So was 1441 a total set-up?

My roots came from Italy with next to nothing. The least I could have done was serve USA. I did a tour in USMC. As of today, I would like to know if future High School graduates, join out of respect for America? Are they "turned off" by military life as a whole? Looking back, I wish I made a career out of The Marines.
Please NO Wise-assed remarks, or goofy answers. I am honestly curious to know what you guys think of this subject. By the way - Have a Good Xmas!

Apparently people have ALREADY forgotten 9/11 ever happened. It went from "The US has declared war on Terrorism in the Middle East" to "George Bush personally forced thousands of Americans to go fight so he could get free oil".

People point to the high civilian death rate in Iraq. First of all, if the terrorists used military uniforms, instead of cowardly dressing like civilians, this would not be a problem. Second, did you forget the high civilian death rate on September 11th??

We NEVER declared war on Osama bin Laden, we declared war on ALL terrorism, which includes Iraq.

One last question. Do you think the terrorists just DECIDED to quit attacking the US in the last 5 years? Don't you think the war had a LITTLE to do with that?

Quit being stupid, and support the war. If we supported the troops like we did in WWII, the war would be over by now!

"The Israeli human rights organization B'tselem estimates that 339 Palestinians have been killed in the targeted operations over the past six years. Of those, 210 were the targets and the rest were bystanders."

Is it necessary? Yes or No? and Why?

If you think the numbers are made up, here is proof.

Sure Hitler killed a few jews, but Stalin killed over 50 million. We should have fought with Hitler against the Soviets and then used the CIA to remove Hitler after the war was won. We could have also cut a deal to save the jews and others by helping him fight the Soviets.
