Military - August 2007

What would you do if you knew the best thing for you was to join the military, but you girlfriend, mom,grandparents, and siblings thought otherwise. they think i should go to college, or anything else besided joing the army. i very strong and set on going but they keep telling me taht they want me to stay, saying that im going to get killed and im being insensitive to thier feelings. i love them but i believe that they should be supporting me .

Hi, I have a friend married with a military and they are being assigned to Japan. She's used to have a steady job but now that they're leaving she wonders if she can search for a job in that country or inside their base. Any one knows...

it was always to my understanding that decisions made by naval medical officers are final. That someones CO cant override what the docor says and disregard his decision. I am in a bad predicament where that is coming into question, because a ssgt told me my CO has the final say and the navy doctor can only make a "recommendation". is this true? if you can go into more detail, my email is espo21785@yahoo. thank you

Which would you choose? And Why?

My husband is contemplating which to go to, and the recruiters have not told us much. We have a family, with 3 kids. My husband wants to serve his country and I would like some opinions on which branch is better and why. ..

Thank you in advance. . .

I'd like to find the main talking points on the Iraq oil law, such as
pros and cons?
What the average Iraqi stand to benefit from it?

Here's what I already know from reading the law;
It distributes oil revenue evenly based off a populations scale
It opens two thirds of the Iraqi oil market up to foriegn investors, which was unheard of in Saddams time, but I fail to see how it benefits the Iraqi people over a state-owned oil system, why not follow the successful business model of Kuwait.

Also, when will the Iraqi Counsel of Representatives will vote on it?

A soldier who admitted he paid someone $500 to shoot him in the leg so he could avoid returning to Iraq won't face felony charges, though his wife and another man who prosecutors say was the gunman were indicted by a grand jury.
"I was hoping for the best, but preparing myself for the worst," Army Pvt. Jonathan Aponte, 21, told The Daily News. "I went into the grand jury and told the truth, and I think they had sympathy for me."

Aponte had claimed he was robbed and shot July 9 but changed his story when police questioned him. He was set to leave on another eight-month tour the same day he was shot. He stated he did not want to go back to Iraq.
He told police that he had joked with his wife about getting shot in the leg so he wouldn't have to return to Iraq, but his wife apparently took him seriously and said she knew someone who could do the job.

These guys get over $1,000 per day, per person. Why should the public be asked to pay for a private army deployed to protect private interests? If occupying Iraq is such a great business proposition, why can't the corporations who benefit pay for the private armies?

I am currently dating a Marine who is just finishing up his technical schooling. Last night he mentioned to me the idea of me comming with him, and following him around from base to base as he continues his moving. He said that he thought that there was a housing allowance/arrangement that the Marine's had for girlfriends, something along the lines of a seproate liviving quarters on base since we are not married.

I was wondering if anyone has any experience/knowledge on this matter? (He said he'd look into it as soon as he could, but me being me, would like to know if anyone knows now.) :~)

I apreshate any responce.

Got a hold of the mosquito virus found in Cambodia then spread it across America, what would our military do? The virus is in the mosquito. When bitten by the mosquito you die almost instantly. But here's the freaky part. The virus restarts your heart after 3 hours causing you to act angry and extremely violent because of the brain damage sustained by the lack of oxygen. I just read about this two days ago and the scientists from all over the world are trying to figure out how to adapt this virus so they can help terminally ill patients. If this was distributed world wide, causing the people who took it to die then come back violent and angry, what would be the military's or goverments first move?
