i was checking out things on this computer and came across a woman thing, and being a teen boy, i went through the sight. i did not see anything to please my perv little mind but did come up with a view good questions about women and sertian women things. like things i would not ask someone in person afraid of getting punched out by some bab. so i figure i asked it here. like if a woman goes through several tampons per day during that time of the month, so i take it she would go through a box or two every month. so what i was woundering, go out on patrol or an exersize carring a ruck, dose she actualy take a box in here ruck? witch is another good question, like you all do not actualy carry all the same hygine items like we all do in our gym bags, do you? also i hear that soldiers take baby wipes out to use to clean themselfs; do they actualy take a full package with them in thier rucks while on patrol? thanks and yes i know this is a very odd question but strang minds want to know

It's not fair that they get treated like crap by higher ups, get no rights and have to fight for freedoms that don't apply to them. They should be given full protection of the bill of rights.

With the exception of troops in direct combat. Then arcticle 92 and what not would be in effect.

Feedback?

20+ years ago, the U.S. asked aircraft makers to produce the ultimate stealth bomber that could penetrate soviet-influenced territories. Northrop Grummon answered the call, with the B2 stealth bomber, up to that point, the most expensive aircraft in existence, at around $156 billion per plane. Yet, after all the hype surrounding the plane, it sat in the hanger, thanks to the collapse of the soviet union. It wasnt needed until nearly 8 years later, in bosnia, then again 5 years later, in iraq. The raptor's maiden flight as a prototype was back in 1990, and as a completed project, in 1997. Apparantly it also sat in the hanger for 8 years, until its introduction in 2005. So my question is: why would the U.S. suddenly put a highly advanced aircraft into use, when we can apparantly easily overthrow iraq, a poorly-stiched-quilt of a country (which we are STILL struggling to control after 4 years)? What enemy is at our doorstep? Who is the government hiding? Are we on the brink of world war?

I'm prior Marine Corps and we always got EO classes and get preached EO EO.

But it's not equal at all. Women get treated so much better in the Military now.

If it's equal why do they get to run an easier PFT than I run. She gets 30 minutes to run 3 miles, she gets to hang on a bar, I have to do pullups. They get an easier boot camp and the female drill instructors get mad at male DI's for corecting "their recruit".

If their is a maritorious board and it's a male and female left the female always wins.

If we PT together as a squad or platoon and a guy falls back he's a sh&^bird is a female falls back everybody says awww it's ok you can do it.

There's more and it don't effect me anymore (thank God) LOL
but what are your thoughts
I want feedback

o.k. i was in the air force for about 3 years and got into trouble for shoplifting a few watches from the bx on base. i was only 19 and it was a very childish and immature thing to do and now I'm trying to make things right. i got a bad conduct discharge because of it and now am trying to get into the army. the recruiter put in a waiver and i was wondering how long it took and how hard it would be to get it passed. its been 5 years since i got into trouble. the recruiter thinks it will pass but i was wondering if anyone else knew of any similar circumstances. PLEASE, if you don't have enough self-respect to give a helpful or encouraging response, don't answer!

Frenchs don't want to go to war.

Americans go to war (brave men!), lose thousands of men there, and after several years of suffering they go back home carrying a huge defeat in the back!

I asked a question similar to this and one person pointed out that officers in the Marine Corps get to live off base but I'm pretty sure if this were true, that they'd have to be within a certain distance of the base. Is there any truth to this and if so, what rank would you have to be? Curious because I'm thinking of going to OCS. Thanks.

Our brave and dedicated military heroes can't take a vacation, can't take a break or even a breather, their lives are on the line every day and they bust their *** every day for us. How many of you actually realize it and appreciate it? I sure as hell do...

The Differential Theory of US Armed Forces (Snake Model) upon
encountering a snake in the Area of Operations or A Diversified
Approach to Military Operations:

Infantry: Snake smells them, leaves area.

Airborne: Lands on and kills the snake.

Armor: Runs over snake, laughs, and looks for more snakes.

Aviation: Has Global Positioning Satellite coordinates to snake.
Can't find snake. Returns to base for refuel, crew rest and manicures.

Ranger: Plays with snake, then eats it.

Field Artillery: Kills snake with massive Time On Target barrage with
three Forward Artillery Brigades in support. Kills several hundred
civilians as unavoidable collateral damage. Mission is considered a
success and all participants (i.e. cooks, mechanics and clerks) are
awarded Silver Stars.

Special Forces: Makes contact with snake, ignores all State
Department directives and Theater Commander Rules of Engagement by
building rapport with snake and winning its heart and mind. Trains it
to kill other snakes. Files enormous travel voucher upon return.

Combat Engineer: Studies snake. Prepares in-depth doctrinal thesis in
obscure 5-series Field Manual about how to defeat snake using
countermobility assets. Complains that maneuver forces don't
understand how to properly conduct doctrinal counter-snake ops.

Navy SEAL: Expends all ammunition and calls for naval gunfire support
in failed attempt to kill snake. Snake bites SEAL and retreats to
safety. Hollywood makes fantasy film in which SEALs kill Muslim
extremist snakes.

Navy: Fires off 50 cruise missiles from various types of ships, kills
snake and makes presentation to Senate Appropriations Committee on
how Naval forces are the most cost-effective means of anti-snake
force projection.

Marine: Kills snake by accident while looking for souvenirs. Local
civilians demand removal of all US forces from Area of Operations.

Marine Recon: Follows snake, gets lost.

Combat Controllers: Guides snake elsewhere.

Para-Rescue Jumper: Wounds snake in initial encounter, then works
feverishly to save snake's life.

Supply: (NOTICE: Your anti-snake equipment is on backorder.)

Transport pilot: Receives call for anti-snake equipment, delivers two
weeks after due date.

F-16 pilot: Finds snake, drops two CBU-87 cluster bombs, and misses
target due to weather.

AH-64 Apache pilot: Unable to locate snake, snakes don't show well on
infra-red.

UH-60 Blackhawk pilot: Finds snake on fourth pass after snake starts
bonfire to mark Landing Zone. Rotor wash blows snake into the fire.

B-52 pilot: Pulls ARCLIGHT mission on snake, kills snake and every
other living thing within two miles of target.

Missile crew: Lays in target coordinates to snake in 20 seconds, but
can't receive authorization from National Command Authority to use
nuclear weapons.

Intelligence officer: Snake? What snake? Only 4 of 35 indicators of
snake activity are currently active. We assess the potential for
snake activity as LOW.

Judge Advocate General (JAG): Snake declines to bite, citing grounds
of professional courtesy.

CH-47 Pilot: Slingleg breaks in flight while slingloading anti-snake
equiptment, pilot cuts slingload. Slingload lands on snake and kills
it. Crew chief uses dead snake to replace broken slingleg.

Navy Pilot: Draped snake around neck at Tail Hook to pick up chicks.

Military Police: Gave snake a sobriety test for not moving in a
straight line.

Signal: Broadcasts 200,000+ watt transmissions in support of anti-
snake missions, accidentally electrecuted snake in the process.

Corps of Engineers: Surveyed and researched area for plans on
improving flood plain, can't do it because snake is on the endangered
species list.

Cooks: Snake sneaks in chow hall. Snake dies of food poisoning.

Do the reserves still do the regular 3 month boot camp?

What do you make in boot?

What is the pay for reservists as an E1?

Im confused! My husband is wanting to join the Air force, and I think he should go for it. BUT, I was looking at the starting pay and its only 1300 A MONTH!!! I was shocked. Im a stay at home mother, and with making so little, I would have to get a job, and put my baby in daycare. And I don't know if I like that. Why so little....and two...what is the base housing situation? Is there really a waiting list, and how long are they usually?
