Military - March 2007

My boyfriend is planing on leaving for Iraq in December. He hasnt signed any papers yet because he hasnt turned 18 yet but his recruiter is already making him do all kinds of standard things like take a drug test and go up for a physical 4 hours away from home and hes only 17! ive tried everything and i cant change his mind. we used to have plans for him to go to a culinary school right next to the college i am going to attend so we could be together but now hes leaving me.The only interest he has is cooking so the minimum amount of years to sign up for in cooking is 4. how am i supposed to deal with him not being around for 4 years......

we have been together for the last 3 years and its not like a dumb high school relationship. i have already gotten pregnant once and had a miscarriage and he has lived with me since he was 15 years old because him step dad was abusive.i dont know how to deal with not having someone to hold everynight and someone to make me feel better when im sad.

Either he is the smartest man alive to plan the conspericys put on him,

Or he's a idiot and the libs are lying , conniving, propagandist.

You choose.

1. Bush lied? These people must have lied too, eh?

2. Are our soldiers are dying at an unacceptably alarming rate?
In 4 years of war, about 3200 out of about 130,000 have been killed. The annual death rate is 6.15 per 1000 soldiers.

The death rate for the civilian population in the United States in 2005 was 8.25 per 1000 people.

So a US soldier has a better chance of survival in Iraq than a randomly selected US citizen "safe" at home in the United States. Granted most soldiers are young and healthy, but this gives some perspective.

If a 105mm round (m60a3 patton tank) was fired at an m1 abrams, would it penetrate? More specifically heat and solid penetrators, but hesh would be nice too.

Someone explain to me why there is so much controversey in bringing the troops home when no one is doing anything about the 75,000 abortions that took place last year in Texas alone? I don't understand the reasons people have for wanting to save a life and wanting to end a life. My hubby served the Army for 20 years with me right beside him so I am all for saving our troops. But just like my husband, these guys knew what could happen when they enlisted. They are highly trained and qualified to do the job they are doing right now. However, an innocent babe has no say about being ripped apart as it is suctioned from it's mother's womb. There is absolutely no understanding in this madness on either side. God help us and forgive us.

Well I was just watching some of borat's videos on youtube, making fun of the american & jewis people (by the way his jewish himself)and I read some of the comments. So as I was scrolling through I came across alot of comments about the RAF being stronger than the American airforce and the british marines being better trained than american marines.

So I was just wondering if this is true? Because I thought that America has the best aero technology and are the most rigorous at training there troops!!!! especially there special forces.

I know they have considerable security, but all it would really take is one atomic bomb on the city of Washington D.C. to completely annihilate the chain of command in the United States, wouldn't it? I mean, all three branches of the government are basically there.

That is assuming the bombers picked a day when the President and V.P. were in the city. What is stopping another nation or a terrorist organization from doing so?

I'm just curious.

I served 22 years in the US Navy before I retired back in 1996.

In the US military we have a code of conduct made up of six articles...

1. I am an American, fighting in the forces which guard my country and our way of life. I am prepared to give my life in their defense.

2. I will never surrender of my own free will. If in command, I will never surrender the members of my command while they still have the means to resist.

3. If I am captured, I will continue to resist by all means available. I will make every effort to escape and aid others to escape. I will accept neither parole nor special favors from the enemy.

4. If I become a prisoner of war, I will keep faith in my fellow prisoners. I will give no information or take part in any action which might be harmful to my comrades. If I am senior, I will take command. If not, I will obey the lawful orders of those appointed over me and back them up in every way.

5. When questioned, should I become a prisoner of war, I am required to give name, rank, service number, and date of birth. I will evade answering further questions to the utmost of my ability. I will make no oral or written statements disloyal to my country and its allies or harmful to their cause.

6. I will never forget that I am an American, fighting for freedom, responsible for my actions, and dedicated to the principles which made my country free. I will trust in my God and the United States of America.

Do the British armed forces have something similar? Should the female hostage be admitting guilt for entering Iran's territorial waters or should she accept release while the rest of her comrades continue to be held? As an American she could face charges.

I've decided that enlisting is the step for me and I am prepared to go active duty and deploy to iraq if necessary. I'm going to choose an infantry MOS so good training is important to me especially urban operations and dealing with IEDs.

After my commitment I plan on going to college and getting my degree. I am going to apply to the service academy of the branch I choose and shoot for the enlisted to service academy program.

but the problem and my question is deciding between the two branchs I've narrowed it down to and they are the marines and the army. could someone tell me why you chose one branch over the other or the pros and cons of both?


Thank you for taking the time.

My husband is going to be discharged from the army sometime this year. He served for about 6-7 years. What can we expect the army to do for us in transition? As in, will they help us move? will they give us money to help us in our move? what kind of benefits are we still entitled to? I know tricare lasts for another 180 days, but that's all I really know.
