Military - June 2007

Listening to those who are in or have been in the military one would have the tendency to believe that there were no other ways to be of service to this country than being in the military. I can't agree with that. How about you?

I'm 17, and I already filled out those Government issued forms saying that I did NOT want to be on the recruiting list for the military. I turned it in, everything should've been fine.

But then yesterday, I got a call from the U.S. Navy asking for me. Now I'm really worried. I know that drafting doesn't happen (right now), but are they still allowed to have your name and number if you filled out those forms that request that I have NO affiliation with the military or navy? Can they actually knock on your door and physically drag you out of the house and force you to join? I know there's no way that could be officially legal, but does that happen behind closed doors? People I know have been telling me horror stories, and I while I truly respect those brave enough to fight for the U.S., I do NOT want to join up.

During that phone call, as soon as I found out it was the Navy, I cut him off and immediately asked him to take me off the call list, and hung up.

We all know soldier pay isn't the greatest. In s. germany we have been on the waiting list since feb. for a 4 bdrm. apt. unit on post. Finally got the "good news" call along w/ something unexpected (i.e., just b.c. wifey is having a 3rd child does not entitle one to move up from a 3 bdrm. to a 4 bdrm. on the neighboring post at government cost). So my husband viewed the apt. today, was informed he had until 3 pm to decide yay/nay (after seeing the quarters at 11 am), has to fund the move himself (w/ the euro the move will be anywhere between $2k-$4k) + only has 3 days to do it. We would love to do it (however, I am nearing 8 mos. preg. at the end of this month and have to also care for my hyperactive 3 year old son and thankfully "normal" 5 year old daughter--plus I have some issues w/ organization + am very small so can't lift heavy things, not to mention the pregnancy. Always been between 98lbs-102lbs when not pregnant and have sticks for arms) on our own, but he had to fight

I've heard that they are not at all; I've heard that they are if a chaplain gives it to them before they are deployed. Please clarify.

My fiancé just transfer to A-school. I know that there was a restriction on the things you could send to a SR in basic but I want to know if there is anything I cant send to her now. I have to send her a new cell phone charger and was thinking of getting a little care package together for her. Is there a list of not allowed items or is it just the common sense stuff like don't send firecrackers and switch blades?

In 65, we counted the VC dead. I served from 63 to 75 and my last contribution was flying the evacuation.

Now we count the American Dead. That SUX. We are losing youth. Even if we could see it wasn't the thing to do it does not bring them back. I would trade with one of those sons, daughters and parent to bring them back.

I did my time thinking this would not happen again. Just like my Father did in the 35th Calvary in WWI.

Yeah I don't have a question. Just. tears. Been there. Done that. Don't think it's gonna get better.

Picture this: Some years down the road, the supply of some vital resource gets so scarce that it causes global war. China lands in Alaska and marches down through Canada into the United States. We hold them off for a while but the end is inevitable. The entire western half of the US becomes occupied territory.

Eventually, the survivors in the west are trapped behind enemy lines. Those who headed for the hills in the beginning are using guerrilla warfare tactics on the occupying force. Basically only fighting small battles they know they can win and stying light and mobile.

That would make a pretty good movie or book, huh?

Craig Ferguson reported that German squirrels were attacking. This is frightening because we all know how German squirrels can be, right? I think we should form an army of American squirrels and form an alliance with British squirrels. The Italian squirrels will eventually change sides, but they will start off on the wrong side at the beginning of the war. As to the French squirrels, even though as a precaution they have already surrendered, when we liberate Paris our American squirrels can drink their wine and cheese and enjoy the "company" of their lady squirrels if they bring them nylons and chocolate covered macademia nuts. How about it? An army of American squirrels? USA! USA! USA!

My husband is ranked E-5 in the Navy and for the past 3 years we have been in Navy housing in upstate NY, thus we never saw our BAH, it went directly to the housing. We just moved into a house we bought in Williamsburg, VA near the newport news shipyard, and now we are wondering if he gets paid half of his BAH in the mid-month check, and half at the end? Or should it come in a lump sum once a month? thanks!
