Anyone know anything about Machinery Technician (MK) in the coast guard reserves? Is it true they would train you on working with engines? Anyone know if positions are guaranteed in CG or no? The website says 12 weeks in Yorktown, VA, *or* on the job training, has anyone ever gotten on the job training for this position instead and where at?

My Marine is IRR and has been offered a job in Germany for a year.
He has invited me to come along.
However, I would like a source of revenue for myself. Although he says not to worry about it...I hate being a free loader.

Can anyone help point me in a direction?

How can a guy that wants to become a merc find the companies that hire these kind of soldiers? And do they have the right to turn down contracts they don't want?

If we had the media of today during the second world war, would they have encouraged us to pull out by constantly showing the fatalities, civilian deaths, etc (as they do today with the Iraqi war)? Or, were Americans different then in their respect for the military and understanding of military deaths? We all know the amount of soldiers killed in the Iraqi war (given daily by media), but that doesn’t even compare to the deaths in WWII (civilian and military). However, the media treats the Iraqi war deaths as if a significant number of our forces are KIA (which is flat out not true). We lost more men in the invasion of Europe than we have in the entire Iraqi war for an example. What do you think?

They still have troops in Afghanistan.

They were right that it was a big mistake to invade Iraq.

They are superior to us in nuclear energy. In fact, they have the best nuclear industry in the world.

Their children are better educated than American children are.

They have better relations with more countries in the world than we do.

They make better movies than we do.

Their language is more sophisticated and more beautiful than our language is.

Their trains are the fastest in the world.

They don't have an obesity problem like we have.

They have cleaner air than we have.

They have a longer life expectancy than we have.

They are more experienced with wars than we are.

I can go on and on giving many more examples of the sophistication of the French people, but I'm sure you get my drift here.

If we apologized to France, we would show the rest of the world that we are sincere about moving forward together and solving some serious problems.

I have been working really hard to join the Navy. I have lost 63 pounds so far, and have about 15 more to do. I know, that is a lot of weight and it's a little embarrassing. Anyway, how did you keep going when discouraged? Once you were able to enlist how was basic training for you? Any tips for success would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

It would seem that some satellite imagery or video could pinpoint a location, tape a video of wide area, go back to the tape later to identify a vehicle that was used in a bombing, thus allowing intelligence to track where that vehicle originated from. Would it be that drones are more practical? Would it be that the vehicle would be too hard to identify?

I know over all they come from everywhere even outside of the country but in most wars the majority come from these areas.

These states have the lowest populations but do the majority of the fighting, why is that?

a few weeks ago there were more troops sent overseas here in VA. Somebody i know joined the army for the benifits. now hes freaking out and blaming Bush for his problems. Is it just me or when you join the army you go in knowing fully of the possible consequences? Don't complain when you recieve a notice letting you know you are being sent to war. Am i wrong?

This is a war that has to be fought just like the previous wars. Terrorist are unlike the germans or the russians koreans etc.. they wont give up unless we take it to them if we keep them on there heels they wont have time to plan another attack like september 11th. And by doubting the war you are only inspiring the insurgents to continue wreaking havoc upon our forces who are bravely trying to bring peace and justice to a nation that has known nothing but war and persecution. We can't let our guard down and Supporting what our soldiers are doing is just as important as supporting them...
