Military (Politics & Government) - April 2007

ive been enlisted in the navy for over a year now, and have always strived for more intellectual stimulation since ive been in.

recently i find myself in a locked rate that is manned at over 133% making it almost near impossible to advance - the option of crossrating is there, but i dont want be stuck in that for the rest of my naval career (however long it will end up being) -

and so, ive wrestled with the idea of either trying to get admission to the academy or try to get my education on my own (which is nearly impossible with field excercises and deployment) -

but needless to say - my question is - if you came in on a waiver for "experimentation with marijuana" - how much weight does that put on a decision to admit one to the academy - if my evals have been 4.0 - and my PRT is an excellent - never had an NJP - ect ect? -

i will talk to my career counselor - but i wanted to see what people could offer on here.

thank you.

Who is our most dangerous threat?

Which country in present time would be more important to go to war with? I think we need to finish the job in Iraq and in Afghanistan. But which Country (any) is more of a threat to the U.S. and why do you think it is a threat. I support our troops. And am also a Vet. I love fighting in any conflict. Thats why Im going back. Semper Fi.

Does anyone know about Navy benefits for Reservists?

I am leaving for bootcamp within a couple of days. I joined the Reserves as a Hospital Corpsman. I will be doing the full 9 week bootcamp and then 14 weeks of "A" school. My question is whether or not my family will be entitled to Tricare while I am away? I am being sworn in as active until my schooling is finished, then I will be sent back to check in with my reserve unit.
If anyone knows how the benefits would work in this situation, I would greatly appreciate your help. :) Thanks.

Has Bush destroyed our ability to make war?

Armed forces demoralized, stretched thin. Also, people would be less willing to support a real war that actually should be fought because Iraq is such a disaster.

Let's face it, you couldn't shoot someone if you hadn't got a gun. And don't say bow and arrow, or I'll roar.
