Military - February 2007

The office of Speaker of the House was issued a small private plane owned by the Department of Defense on the grounds that they are 3rd in line for the presidency.

Nancy says it ain't big enough, she wants the biggest plane the military has for civilian transport, a Boeing 757.

I am in a serious relationship but I have decided to join the Navy. He acts supportive but I know he has second thoughts about our relationship in terms of me being away. I completely understand though and I don't blame him, I'd have the same thoughts. However, I refuse to go on a "break", it's all or nothing. What are your opinions on my situation? Should I stay with him throughout the beginning or should we part ways?

A bit annoyed at a news report about friendly fire, this bloke from Idaho (defending the pilot) said that Britain sucked it thumb during World War 2. Yeah mistakes do happen in Iraq. And my feelings go out to the pilot. However, I live in the UK, and like America, my government let's everyone in. In America, that's called freedom.
The difference being in WW2 we fought across the channel,we were one side the Germans the other. Now like America we allow the movement of people, Our fight now starts on our own soil, from within. The media doesn't help. Very Negative, turning us against Muslims. It's a very confusing world and the media has a huge role to play. Politicians are out for themselves,Countries have their own egos. Religion ?. I don't know the answers. But I know one thing 'Mother nature is getting her own back' Regardless of where you live?, What Colour?, or what religion. ????

A few questions;

-If you go into NROTC wanting to be a Marine, are you guranteed that or could you get stuck in the Navy? (Not that the Navys terrible or anything, but if you wanted to be in the Marines)

-How hard is it to get a scholarship going into NROTC to become a 2nd Lt. in the Marines?

-Do you get to choose your career feild (Infantry, Armor, Feild Artillery, ect..) after college when you serve?

-How hard is it to be accepted into the MECEP? (Totally different program from NROTC but has the same goal basically)

-----

If you know all of the answers, that would be great. If you only no one of them, that would be a big help too. Thanks alot.

i want to join the ROTC programs in college for army or air force. my goal is to graduate a military intelligence officer. after the 2 years of service, i want to go into either business or politics. which service would benefit me more after i finish my term? another thing is, if i finish my 6 years and there is a draft like 4 years later, does the military call me back? and on what terms, higher rank, higher pay? (also, i wouldnt consider this is i didnt want to serve my country. military service is NOT something that i NEED for either field)

I am a gay man in the army. Been to Iraq twice, Afghanistan once, all in the past four years. I'm an Infantry Combat Medic. I work on the front lines. It's all male, we sleep, shower, and **** together. It doesn't bother the people I work with because one, I'm good at being a medic and two, I very good soldier. Why should being gay be a bar, if gay people often out do their straight counter parts.

If job and vocational recruiters have the right to recruit on campus, why shouldn't the armed forces be included? Just because some are anti-war, do they have the right to restrict the choices of some students who may want to join the armed forces. If I choose to eat meat choose non-meat eaters force me not to eat meat? If I choose to marry someone of my choice, should my parents or my friends prevent me and force me from choosing my mate?

To me freedom means so much, I can't imagine any rrestriction on my rights. Somehow, I do think that freedon has to be protected. People of free societies have the right to assembly, to speak openly, to protest too. Should anyone protest to keep a free person from exercising his or her rights to make free choices such as joining the armed forces.

Source: Military news.... A Marine facing life in prison after pleading guilty to kidnapping and murdering an innocent Iraqi man asked to withdraw his pleas Thursday, saying he no longer believes he's guilty.

"He believes he acted with lawful authority, and for that reason he is withdrawing his plea," attorney Victor Kelley said at Cpl. Trent Thomas' sentencing hearing.

The military judge ordered a 30-minute recess and asked Thomas's defense team to present their case as to why they no longer believe his is guilty.

Thomas, 25, pleaded guilty Jan. 18 to eight felonies including kidnapping, murder and assault. He was one of a squad of seven Marines and a sailor accused last year of hatching a plot to kill an innocent Iraqi in the town of Hamdania. Four others pleaded guilty to lesser charges. Thomas, the squad's second in command, could face life in prison. It is now believe the Marines did him wrong.

I read a lot of the political questions and answere's, and I always see people saying that they better not let anymore troops go to Iraq because they're just going to die! And in the military section, when people are wondering weather to join or not, a lot of people say, "Don't do it, you'll just go to Iraq and be killed!!" How is that supporting our troops? Why would anyone say that?

What else was 9/11 but a Conspiracy to commit murder, thusly becoming (in what they were taught)Matyred. There was an interesting story the other day on CNN about these extremists and there families holding them in high regard because of their suicides done in the name of Islam. The Jihad. Are these families and friends then also guilty of committing crimes? If they will hold this cowardly act as being GREATNESS in the eyes of God, then shouldn't those that support them also be held for conspiracy?

Okay, I know what AR 670-9 says about this, makeup is permitted so long as it looks natural (and that guideline is kind of loose) and is not too trendy, but despite Army Regulations, is it in good taste? Personally I think it looks un-Soldier-ly and un professional, even in an office environment, for female Soldiers to wear makeup with their ACUs or BDUs. Other people swear that no matter what the company is, in traditional office settings women should always wear makeup, that includes the military. What do you think?
Don't get me wrong, I like to wear makeup when I am in civies or in my Class A's, but it doesn't feel right in the battle uniforms. Thats just me. I want to hear your opinions.

If the military made it manditory for women to shave their heads at basic training like men have to?

Frankly, the fact that they (the armed forces) do not require this for women says volumes. If women can't take that hair cut, why should we put each others lives in their hands?

Shouldn't it be manditory for ALL enlistees?

Isn't it a shame that we REALISTS have given the world so much good with our science because we were not afraid to move forward with ideas that conflicted with religious text! We have offered medicine in place of prayer, perspective rather than faith, advances and advantages to those who would accept REALITY! What has occurred in the world of religion? Again WHAT HAS RELIGION CONTRIBUTED TO PEACE AND PROSPERITY? We constantly see differences among the "faithful" trying to siege the opportunity to show that "Our beliefs are better than theirs"; and yet, sadly in the end, those beliefs only amount to an UNKNOWN end! What has happened is that people who would use the technologies that were provided through hard work study and tenacity have been turned into devices to state that they were GOD GIVEN! I am an inventor yet religions will say I was Gifted! Was Einstein? So he figured us out of WWII, but now we wait for WWIII because-OF RELIGIOUS STUPIDITY! WHAT DID GOD INVENT? Create?

I am looking for a Dale Eugene Smith that served in the military in the early 1980s in Japan, he was either Navy, or Marines, I know that he was stationed there in early 1981 and he was most likely 18-20 years old. The only partial location is that he might have moved from Japan back home to possibly New York City area but I don't know how truthful that evidence is. It is important that I find him.
