My husband recently went into basic and suffered from Rhabdomyolysis within his first week. He was put on IV for three days ect.. He was told he had small tears in/around the heart from it and is being discharged. He has now been there for about three weeks.

I'm getting no info about anything and I feel I'm really sititng in the dark here. How long does it take to discharge people who get hurt within basic.. and what they do if there are any prolonged problems b/c of it?

He is sitting in a bed all day with all the other people who are sick, or pretending to be, getting treated like.. crap. He says they have no plans to send him home soon it looks like. He wanted to stay but b/c of his heart he cannot. Which he shouldn't of course.

I really would appreciate any informative answers about what I could do or he could do to get more info.. or should I look into legal advice? He isn't fit now to continue, he was when he joined.

If you want to be a smart a** don't post- Thanks

For me it was low crawling. That may sound silly to some, but my elbows were not the toughest part of me! After we learned to low crawl it became a common training tool. I don't remember what myself and a couple of others were doing once (probably along the lines of goofing off), but I do remember a female drill sgt. once making us low crawl a heck of a long ways in terrain that was mostly mud/grass/sticks. Not pleasant, but I can look back and laugh now. Luckily I never had anything thrown into a field that I had to retrieve by low crawling.

- you can select your security team/bodyguards from any country; which country would you choose? And why?

The man who impersonated a decorated Marine has so incensed the military community that the director of Tahoma National Cemetery plans to ask the courts to reconsider whether he should do his community service there.

"When this whole thing came to light, it raised a lot of hair on people," said Jim Trimbo, the director of the National Cemetery in Kent.

Reggie Buddle, 59, was sentenced earlier this week to two years of probation and 500 hours of community service at the cemetery after pleading guilty to unlawful wearing of U.S. military medals and decorations.

Buddle, who conducted various services and appeared as an honorary Marine chaplain, wore medals and service decorations for extraordinary valor and combat service in Vietnam, including a Combat Action Ribbon, a Presidential Unit Citation ribbon and the Defense Distinguished Service Medal.

Well i saw 300 in theaters, and I was very satisfied with the movie. And i just finished watching Pathfinder which I though was a very poor movie. The acting was horrible, and the story was cheesy. The only cool thing was the Vikings. To me they seemed pretty bad ***. But I still think Spartans could murder them. SO what do u all think?

A soldier convicted of rape and murder in an attack on an Iraqi teenager and her family was sentenced Saturday to 110 years in prison, with the possibility of parole after 10 years.

The sentence was part of a plea agreement attorneys for Pfc. Jesse Spielman had made with prosecutors that set the number of years he could serve in prison, regardless of the jury's recommendation. Pfc stated he did it for the USA and was proud to serve for the USA Government. He wants to know why the war supporters have turned against him.

He has to arrive at the Recruiter's office at 6 am in the morning and I'm curious what will happen. He and I just got married last Wednesday in Reno Nevada and we just got back home. Unfortunately we still live in our respective homes but we had a wonderful few days of romance even though our parents were hanging around lol lol. They allowed us to take a room together and I never knew before what a wonderful experience it could be to take a bubble bath with someone you love so much.

Will he be allowed to use his cell phone in training to call me? He will be trained for the Infantry and I'm SOOO proud of my hero. My dad who is a Marine Corp Veteran and my grandpa who is a combat Vietnam Veteran says they will make a man out of him. My other grandpa and his parents don't think his enlistment is such a great idea (Oh Wellll!!). I'm happy for him and told him to call me if he runs into any problems and I'll discuss it with his Drill Instructor. I'd love to know whatwill happen

Look, I know all the babble about deplyments and no leave and such. But, my wife is stationed for a year in Korea and some things have been going on that have been causing SERIOUS probalems with our marriage. I'm serious that if we don't get to see each other and talk face to face so we can work some things out, then our marriage will end before this deployment is done. I Love my wife more then anything in the world and i don't want to lose her, so what do I have to do to get them to have her come home so we can work these things out? Any advice will be very appreciated

Instead of just enlisting in the Army, Navy, Air Force, or the Marines, I have a specific job in mind. How could I be employed as an interrogator in one of our 'secret' torture camps in Albania (where the US military legally tortures people, since Albanian law doesn't prohibit it). As for my pertinent job-related experience, I have:
1. Some experience conducting interviews.
2. Experience with pulling legs off of insects as a kid, and also with gutting fish.

*While I don't have any specific experiene with torturing people, I feel that the two items described above could be effectively combined.

Also, who should I send my resume to?

I am currently 14 and I am very bored. I figure you only get one life so why not fill it with adventure. The FFL is a great oppurtunity and I am looking to enlist as soon as I graduate from high school. Should I enlist in the army or the marines first? Or should I just join right away?

P.S I really don't care about the danger of getting killed.

How come the Germany and the Japanese never fought together in the pacific. I think if the Germanese and Japanese join forces on the battlefield, they might have been a gooder, stronger army. Why General Hitler and the Japanese General didn't work together is the crazyess thing I never heard of! I'm glad that the Armies of the Amercas finally won the wars over there! General George C Scott really help the war effort and bringing it to a close. Good thing he's was on our side of the fence! Don't you agree they should have fought side by side?
If they had, the armies of the amercans might have lost the war.

I was wondering if anyone had any information on the required steps to become a US marine corp doctor. I would like to do this after I graduate... but for right now I was wondering what I will need to do to become this?

Do you have to complete medical school before you enroll into the marines or do they have an education program for this?

I'm assuming I'd have to go through normal marine training first right?

I've tried to look through their site on this.. but I couldn't really find much info.

Would I have to become a normal marine first then study while in the service to become a doctor for them or what?

Any help or information at all would be greatly appreciated. thanks!

Is that why they are so secretive about that stuff, but at the same time CNN has several Larry King shows about UFO sightings, etc? Maybe some people are going to DISAPPEAR soon, and they may want us to believe that they were abducted by aliens from outer space? What do you think?

I don't believe in space aliens, by the way.

Hey if you plan on going into either Navy, Army, or Air Force ROTC can you still attend bootcamp the summer before your freshmen year? I know you do field traing and other training as ROTC cadets but is this possible, because if so id like to because I think it would make an officer a better leader and able to relate more with his enlisted men.

So I separated from the military Mar of 05 while serving I suffered from excruciating pain in both my legs that i constantly went to the Drs for. They all looked at me like I was crazy and told me that if they stood for 12 hrs their legs would hurt too.. (I was a cop) I couldn't believe the Dr that told me that?!?Anyway, today I believe the reason they gave me the run around was because if they took the time to actually diagnose me I would lose my clearance have my gun taken and of course be medically discharged... So, before I separated I went in again and spoke to a my new PCM and he took the time to treat me and run tests and actually listen, I almost cried because finally someone was listening.. He diagnosed me with Chronic lower extremity pain, however this diagnosis was made after I was separated... Could I still receive benefits if I had the pain while I was active, had the visits documented, but it wasn't diagnosed till after????

Can some please tell me more about the role and duty of Air Force or Naval avaition Navgiators. Are they prestigous and very competitive jobs that lead to promotions or no? Also, can it be a stepping stone to re apply for flight if you dont get it the first time? But most importantly is it a fun, rewarding job that has a counterpart in the civilian world?

I'm in the Air Force and I dont know what job I should do. I have it narrowed down to Combat Control or S.E.R.E. If anyone knows anyone who has done either of these or if you have any advice feel free to leave comments. Thanks
