I don't know if anyone out there is going through the same frustrating issues that i am. First my husband is National Guard and he has been deployed since June and now its April. Lately these days the signal over there is so bad he is lucky to have a signal for 10 minutes to talk to me on yahoo or google chat. Not being able to talk to him makes me feel like i am falling apart. I do write and send packages but he is not a letter writer. So i am trying to keep it together and not cry all the time cause we have a little girl and i don't want to make her upset. I feel so alone. I don't go to FRG meetings cause they are too far away and i don't know anyone in my unit. I try to have fun and keep busy like i am going back to school and i have started exercising everyday and stuff. I sew and crochet and play and read books to my daughter. This is rough and i don't know how to cope. Counseling doesn't work cause i already tried that. I wish there was an answer but i feel so alone and so sad.

Coming into the Navy, just started DEP, what are some hints to dealing with people and Navy and how the Navy's system works? I have heard and believe there are people out there to make your day hell and turn on you. May it be take credit for your work or tell on you. What are some ways of coping with this? (This isn't to make Navy sound bad you get these people anywhere you go but the Navy is a different enviorment). What are some tip right off the bat for an E-1 to do...it will be kind of a culture shock in a way?

Joining the military and signing Official Secrets Act - resulting in an inability to freely convey a story that does NOT PUT NEGATIVE RISK ON SECURITY, SAFETY AND HEALTH - could lead to problems. Constant threat of legal action could deny the public and serving personel information they may require. This inturn may lead to recruits joining when they do not know the entire truth about conflict.

Do the ground-force military personel ask enough questions of each assignment, or do they not care about the politics of each mission before they obey a higher command.

People willing to be maimed or killed do so not only when they do not recieve the whole truth - or may not express their personal experience after conflict - but they do so at a fraction of the remuneration i.e. wages, obtained by those that send them into battle.

Is the excitement of joining worth giving up other luxuries?

PLEASE: NO COP-OUTS ABOUT WWII. THAT WAR COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED BEFORE IT STARTED. READ THE BOOKS.

I've never been to one in my life. If any of you know what typically happens at one I would love to know! Is it very similar to prom but for ROTC?
Is it very dressy like prom?
Thanks!

It was not to long ago that people would give play salutes from down the street,and the ladies liked a man in uniform,folks would respect you because you were putting your life on the line for your country and what you belived in,even folks who did not belive in war could respect that.So what happend,I think it happend after Vietnam with "babykiller",or mabye we have been on top to long and have not had a good scare in a while.Opinons?

I saw this video and I was shocked.
Please your opinions, I have never seen so many misinformed people, do you not think these people are dangerously ignorant, not evil, just incredibly brainwashed and ignorant that anyone with an evil plan that comes to power can use America's weapons to do what they want.

Like 100, 000 additional troops? Obviously it's going to be a little bit more expensive, but easier to end it (the war) at the same time. What do you think?

Yahoo reported yesterday the Pelosi approval rating has started the slide below fifty percent. stalling tactics including 20 mil for peanut storage while (as harry predicted) the regime let our soldiers dangle in iraq seems a bit steep. perhaps they can get out of the way and let the soldiers and generals do their job so the they can go home and the faithful can find something else to whine about?

Bush and the Americans had their Democratic elections in Iraq years ago. The Shia Islamic fundamentalist majority won in a landslide. Bush certified the election. So why didn't the USA leave?

Bush continues to involve America in the failing military conflict and the Shia Islamic fundamentalists must win that way too.

If they don't than demcoracy fails.

Pres. Bush owes it to our military and the American people to try every available possibility to come to a quick and satisfactory end to the conflict in Iraq. Why doesn't he see that even if there is the slightest hope, he should be giving it his best shot?

I decided that we should only support the soldiers who are in War but questioning the judgements of Bush and the illegal War. Because I noticed that there have been few so called war veterans, soldiers who are gung ho about the war and how they say Bush is God or what not. So I decided that if they want to fight and go die for Bush then why should we feel sorry for them?
