I am one semester away from my BS degree in accounting. Recently this recruiter called to my house and asked me if I am looking for a job. And the recruiter told me that if I join navy, the navy will reserve an accounting job for me right after I get my BS degree. Also the recruiter told me that I will not be sent to Iraq for sure. Moreover, I will get $8,000 bonus once I passed the boot camp and $40,000 bonuses at the end of the year if I am willing to give up $100 from my paycheck every month.

However, I found out that there are no guarantees after I did some research on the web once I sign the contract. I also found out that navy will reassign your job choice if you do badly on the performance of the boot camp and A school.

Should I sign the contract right now or after I get my BS degree? Will they send me to the war zone? And will I really get the accounting job that I was promised?

I want to serves the country but I don't want to harm another human being.

Wouldn't it be better for the troops if they were allowed to come home?

Hello, I have never done this before but I need some advice. I am the fiance of an Iraqi war verteran. He has been home for 2 years now. Our wedding would be 5 months away. However, he was issued an order warning for possible deployment to Iraq. We have had to cancel everything. It looks as if they are 99.9% sure that he will be leaving most likely before the start of the summer. My question is......should we move up the wedding and get married before his deployment. He is my world and deployed or not deployed I want to be with him for forever. I need some advice....thank you so much for your time. God bless all of those in our military and their families...my thoughts and prayers are with you all.

I am 18 years old and will be graduating in the top of my class in May. I have dualed enrolled the last 2 years, and I already have a year done towards my degree. I really think I want to join the air force right after i graduate. My parents would rather that I didnt but I really want to move out of my home town and meet some new people. If I decide to join what will the life be like on the air force base. Will I meet a bunch of new people around the same age as myself? Also, what are the typical things young airmen go out and do on their time off from their job??Please feel free to share reasons why joining the Air Force would be a good idea.

I'm a 24 year old veteran of OIF. Since transitioning back to civilian life I find my closest friends I've got besides my buddys from growing up have been other veterans my age.

Any other veterans out there been to a legion or VFW latley and experience something positive or know of any new organizations started by our generation?

Today Bush spoke about vetoing any plan for defunding the war and setting a timetable. He said that he will not change the battle plan for anything. If congress had enough votes to override the veto, would president Bush and generals change the plans to take soldiers off the streets and create a new plan of training Iraqi's, or would Bush stick with the plan that would kill American soldiers off so that he could rev up his poll numbers and blame the Democrats for the lost lives? This is not probable because it is not likely that Republicans would vote for such a bill for another three to four years, but if they did come up with enough votes for the override, do you think bush would stick with his word that all the soldiers lives lost will be the Democrats fault and that the plan will never change, even if Barney the dog and his wife are the last two supporting the war?

I don't know ANYTHING about the military, so I don't know what to expect. Is he going to be gone for months or years at a time? What will he be doing? I'm just worried that it's too dangerous and that I will never see him. Someone PLEASE tell me what you know about this. I'm stressing out because I really don't want him to join.

I just saw a report on FOX NEWS, inwhich it shows a bunch of young Democrats holding up signs saying "Fusk the troops!" and burning fake soldiers and US flags. Is this the new Democrat party?

The people responsible for planning 9/11 are in Pakistan/Afghanistan.
The so-called 'war' in Iraq is only serving to 'manufacture' more people with grudges against the US.
Let the Iraqis fight their own war.

I will be going to MEPS in 2 weeks. I had to lose weight in order to get into the coast guard, in order to do so I took ephadrine on several occasions. Will this in anyway show up on a military drug test in a way to disqualify me?

(I do not need your side commentary on the perils of ephadrine so please keep them to yourselves)

i keep seeing the statement over and over again about how the president/republicans/some government officials not wanting to pull the troops out because it would admit failure. it seems like they'd let more troops and more iraqi citizens die just so they don't have to say "you know what, we made a mistake, let's learn from this"...is it better to let more die to save face? i don't think so...

We see the number of Iraqi civilian deaths (ranging from 30,000 to as high as 650,000 in some cases) used as a reason why we should leave Iraq. Personal feelings should not get in the way of an honest answer to this question.

If anything, the cost of civilian lives in Iraq would probably get worse if we left. The Shia and Sunni are not going to hug and be friends if we left. They will still hate each other, and will still fight and kill. If we are gone though, there will be no stong military presence to help quell the fighting. There will be more ablility for the insurgents to have free reign and cause more harm, but instead of focusing on a well trained and armed military, they will be focusing on civilians of the opposing religion.

Maybe this all happened because we invaded Iraq, but that is something we can't change. If you feel pulling out is still right thing, and our soldiers are paramount, that is fine, but don't use civilian casualties as a reason we should leave.
