I will be turning 18 and graduating high school this year, but I am at a bit of a cross road. Firstly, I don't really have the money for college, and due to a bit of a slump I went through my sophomore year my GPA is in the toilet. I don't have a lot of work experience, so the only job I'd likely be able to get would be minimun wage. I know joining the army would give me a lot of training, help with college, and be an overall good learning experience, but I am a bit concerned.

If you enlist in a non-combat position (like a Animal Care Specialist) can they force you into combat? Once your enlisted, can they put you in whatever position they want?

Any other information/advice you could impart would be incredible, I am really conflicted.

I'm currently in the Air Force and they prescribe anti-depressants. I'm interested in getting a prescription but I'm extremely worried it will affect my career when reenlistment comes around or even get me discharged. I mainly want a prescription because I experience anxiety and find it very hard to concentrate mentally in a social/work environment.

Normally, I just say **** it, and try to pull myself together and just work through it but it's really starting to take a toll on me, and I'm starting to feel fatigued all the time just trying to drag myself to work.

Any advice?

I recently asked the question on this forum labeled the following: Does a politicians open disdain for Bush and the Iraq war demoralize the morality of our brave soldiers. I must honestly say, I never thought there was ANYBODY in this country who did not consider our troops heroes, let alone several responders on this site alone. Political views aside (yes, I happen to be a Republican, but I will ALWAYS be an American first), how can anybody say our troops are not heroes? How can anybody say to paraphrase one response "they blow up innocent Iraqi's" or " they are just doing their job"? NO! They put their *** on the line for ALL AMERICANS. This sounds reminicent of how soldiers were viewed upon returning from Veitnam years ago! American soldiers will always be my heroes. The American military deserves to be thanked for their brave sacrafices instead of being grossly unnapreciated by Americans when they are "only doing their job" Thank You U.S. Military for your sacrifices.

My son may have StrepThroat, but I could 't get a same day appointment at our Military Hospital, even though we have TriCare Prime. They offer us a walk in, throat culture eval only (results in about 72 hours).
No physician was available, however, The intern that took the culture said "Your sons tonsils are red and swollen. It looks very painful." But she couldn't offer any meds for pain. So we left.
Later that night, conditions got worse so my wife took him to the militarys Emergency Room. On check-in, the tech noticed that my son had been in earlier that day and told my wife "Since your son was in earlier, we can't do anything. We can't treat him until the results come back." My wife and son were told to leave.
Not one person looked at my sons throat just to make sure it wasn't serious. And once again, no pain relief meds were offered.

My question: Should I file a complaint against the hospital? In my humble opinion, that was PI$$ POOR service by an Emergency Room.

I honestly dont understand why people.. Specially parents fear there children joining the military. The Military isnt like, what you see on Hollywood. The Military molds boys and girls into Men & Women. When I first joined my father.. Him being a veteran, E-5 Sergeant during Vietnam was terrified that I joined. Now my Father is proud of me then he ever was. Unlike a lot of my friends I grew up with I became something out of myself. It taught me discipline, good work ethics, and most of all being a outstanding citizen. Of course it doesnt work for everyone, but the military can always make something out of you. Just enlisting doesnt automatically mean you are going to be throwned out in the front line of combat and get harmed, although it does happen. Insteading of being a drugged out, jobless citizen like a lot of my friends were, I became something.

Shepperd said the United States had agreed in a Cold War-era treaty not to fly nuclear weapons. "It appears that what happened was this treaty agreement was violated," he said.

The warheads should have been removed from the missiles before they were attached to the B-52 bomber, according to military officials.

http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/09/05/loose.nukes/

They were flown to Barksdale AFB, where these "accidentally" moved nukes could be used to bomb Iran. This is their cover up story, I believe this too. Why cover it up? Because the UN has authority over all movement of Nuclear Weapons. Anyone who says this is no big deal doesn't understand this.

I read somewhere that these six nukes probably already have "Goodmorning Iran" written on them. Lets see what happens in a couple of weeks.

Do you agree "War is an obscenity."?!? Civilized societies like Canada, by definition, abhor obscenities. How then can Canada honourably, successfully fight a future foreign war.

So far, in Asia we joined the US in arms to protect South Korea, but refused to defend South Viet Nam.

In fact US Viet Nam era draft dodgers poured into our country like Mexican illegals in the states, and became our best "peace loving" citizens.

Lately, in the Middle East, we fought side-by-side with the Americans in the "war against terrorism", in the terrorist stronghold of Afganistan ... but we said NO to the Iraq "police action".

Example: Iran might be attacked any day now, by our friends south of the border, from bases in Iraq & Afganistan, especially if Iran's terrorist-supporting nuclear bomb develoment prevokes a justified pretext for war (apparently necessary) "shock & awe" US military response? Do we go too? Why or why not? Can we seperate ourselves from U.S. vital intrests?!?

I thought that our military had such strict guidlines how to store and protect the nations stack on nuclear weapons or weapons of mass destructions? Shouldn't they have been checked out properly ? How did that happen? Could it happen that terrorists could do that too to our military?

There are many new veterans that served in Iraq coming back and actively protesting against the war and marching in front of the white house. As a veteran myself who doesnt agree with the way the war was started or handled and served twice in Iraq, I dont see myself protesting like they do, but i do voice my opinion. I think they are wrong, for making a mockery out of themselves and claming they speak for the whole military, when in my opinion most of those people are "dirtbags" problem people in the military with paperwork. Do you think its fine for them to do what they are doing?

CAMP PENDLETON, Calif. - A Marine Major General and two Marine Senior officers have been disciplined for their roles in investigating the deaths of 24 Iraqi civilians in the town of Haditha in 2005, the Marine Corps said Wednesday.


Maj. Gen. Richard A. Huck, former commanding general of the 2nd Marine Division, has received a letter of censure from the secretary of the Navy for the "actions he took and failed to take" in response to the killings. The Maj Gen career is over according to the Marines. Maj Gen Huck stated he did his duty the way he was taught by President Bush and wanted to make President Bush proud.
