Military - June 2007

My dream is to become a Ranger. My recruiter told me that it would be hard to get the Ranger contract because they only have a few of them, which turned out to be true when I went to MEPS. He told me not to worry because at Fort Benning, where my Basic training and AIT, and Airborne school are at, Ranger Instructers go there looking for people to volunteer to be Rangers. Is this true? I am leaving for basic in 2 weeks and Im wondering if its true, having only an infantry contract and not a Ranger one.

I heard it is deactivated using remote control. If it is electronic, surely the military will invest in countering these Explosives and jam the signals, thereby disabling the device that has cost us so many brave lives.

A person who is asexual has no sexual desire nor are they sexually attracted to anyone, male or female.

I am asexual myself, and I have seriously considered enlisting in the military. Originally I thought I had nothing keeping me from doing so (the 'don't ask, don't tell' policy only applies to homosexuals and bisexuals, and I am neither), however, I realized something else.

Many people consider a lack of a sex drive to be a sexual or psychological dysfunction. I see my lack of attraction as a sexual orientation rather than a problem, but I know most people don't have this view.

I'm otherwise perfectly eligible to join the military: I am very healthy and fit physically, mentally and emotionally. During the physical and/or psyche exams, will my asexuality be an issue? Also, will it be acceptable to openly acknowledge the fact that I have no interest in sex?

"Are we fighting a war on terror or aren't we? Was it or was it not started by Islamic people who brought it to our shores on September 11, 2001?



Were people from all over the world, mostly Americans, not brutally murdered that day, in downtown Manhattan, across the Potomac from our nation's capitol and in a field in Pennsylvania? Did nearly three thousand men, women and children die a horrible, burning or crushing death that day, or didn't they?

Indian politicians are an immature self-centered lot and that make Indian Democracy being looked down by western democracies that function smoothly without clashes in their parliaments. The United States is a friendly country to India and it is the only one that would come to help in the event of a possible attack independently or jointly by our land-hungry hostile neighbors. Our arm strength is no match to China and China in the past has proved an untrustworthy hawk. India’s current generation five star comrades object to Nimitz entry. If it were a Chinese or Russian warship they would have endorsed it. The opposition leader of the State where Nimitz is to be berthed wants to take political advantage by putting the State and Central administration in a tight spot on this issue by creating a wedge between the comrades and the UPA led central Government it supports from outside. When will India mature to be admired by the rest of the world as a true Democracy?

Does the navy run your credit to see if you can join? I was trying to join the airforce and my credit is holding me back due to the fact that i have some hospital bills? Does the Navy require a credit check as well for active duty?

I know alot of people on here never hear about the good news coming from Iraq. Most people on here base their ideas off of all the negative reporting on the news. Should we stay there or should we come home, is the question asked ALL the time on here.... So I just wanted to throw this story I found online on here, and see what people think about it....

Is the US presence over there actually making a difference??

I am British and I believe that if we were to go to war with the USA we would be beaten pretty badly. I believe the British to be of a much higher quality than the USAs but they would dominate us due to their far superior in number and with all of their aircraft and tanks. Also I believe that in an all out war, no helicopters or artillery or jets, just infantry and tanks, the British would still lose but the Americans would take much higher losses than us due to the fact that we get better training etc. What do you all believe. By the way, I am not knocking the Americans, they are doing so well especially in the middle east (just in case any over sensitive yanks are out there)!

I'm guessing that they usually have Apache support but say they were out there on their own. Would they have a way to fire back at an enemy attack chopper?

I ets out of Korea and have never been stationed in the States aside from basic and AIT. So I have no idea. But beer on post in Korea is much cheaper than what I'm paying here in Atlanta, Georgia. Since I still have my IRR ID I figure I get on post to buy beer. But before I waste a trip I figure I'll ask first. Is beer on post cheaper than beer you get outside. (Maybe some kind of duty exemption or something. I don't know)

I'm 20 and i have one year of school under my belt. I took a year off and worked full time. I'm at a point where I don't want to keep looking for a job but don't want to keep going to school either. I want to work in the medical field and I think the navy is my best choice for that. Can you go in as an officer with a two year degree or does it matter and if so, should I finish my two year Associates in Arts degree or just go in now? Does the type of degree matter?

I am about to enter either the Navy or Airforce and I am currently a translator and would love to be able to continue this profession for my country but I have been told that if I do I will be sent to the war zone. Being a dedicated wife and mom of two, I really don't want to choose a career that will definitely put me on war's path--I realize that there are no guarentees once you enter the military. Thanks in advance!
