I went AWOL from OSUT at Ft. Benning, GA. Decided I had made my decision to join the Army a little to hastily and decided to get away before I got attached enough to everything that I wouldn't want to leave. I've learned alot after going AWOL, from the experience of it, thinking about what I want to do and some other major life changing things in my life. Does anyone know about rejoining in my situation? Appreciate any feedback. I'm gonna go talk to a recruiter about it on monday too anyways.

garbage bombs when fighting foreign enemies. It's cheaper, comes pre-maid, would prevent our land-fills from filling up, it is mostly bio-degradable. Think about it. if you got dumped on day after day with garbage, wouldn't you be more willing to settle your differences sooner? So iran, if we go there next, should get taken out with our garbage.

I am currently attending culinary school. We often get e-mails from an army recruiter, with pretty vague statements abouts paying off our (extremely expensive) tuition by joining the military.

But... would it be worth my time to join and be a CHEF? I don't know anyone that's gone into the military and just been a chef... I don't want to end up being the burger girl at the chow hall with a $50,000 culinary degree.

I've toyed with the idea of joining for a long time... both of my grandfathers, my dad, his 3 brothers and 2 sisters, and my mom's brother were all in the military (all 4 branches) so I'm not opposed to the idea at all. I grew up a military brat.

If anyone has any experience with anything like this, I'd love to see your answers! Thanks in advance!

so i'm reading this lady's resume and it says she was 5 years in the United States Army and held the rank of 2nd Lt.. This lady has a birth defect that has left her shoulder and elbow fused with very little range of motion. Could someone in a similar condition join the army? Could she have been in ROTC and catapulted past basic training into an officer's rank?

Hi, I'm a student currently attending a community college and plans on transferring to a 4-year college for NROTC and to get my BSN. I have everything planned out. By the time I transfer, in Fall '08, I will have about 54 - 57 credits. The question is since I'm only a few credits away from being a junior, will I still be able to join NROTC?

Here are just some ideas:
1. WW2 would have not happened
2. Europe would have been United 100 years earlier
3. Israel would have not been founded
4. Iraq would have not been founded with its today borders, enclosing Shiites, Sunnis and Kurds.
I maybe totally of the hook here! What do you think?

My husband is an E-5 in the USMC and tore his ACL back in March during PT. The Doctors kept brushing him off saying because he wasn't an athlete or a pilot he would get waitlisted for surgery. His time came up and he separated from active duty August 1st (6 months after the injury) and after several appointments they NEVER fixed his knee. He had a police officer's position waiting for him when he got off active duty but now they won't take him because he is considered unfit for duty because of his knee. Now Tricare says they wont pay for any surgeries because we are no longer on active duty and my husband is having difficulty finding jobs in his line of work because of his knee. Is there anything we can do to be compensated monthly for this? Our finances are suffering to the point of possible foreclosure on our home. Is there some kind of VA benefit or disability benefit? We can't pay for this surgery out of pocket, and it happened while on active duty.

Does the US Army recognize ordained ministers who aren't in "mainline" denominations?
To be a chaplain in the US Army you have to become "ordained" If I am ordained through an Independant Charismatic Church will this count? or must it be through a Major Mainstream denomination such as Methodist, Baptist, Assemblies of God etc?

In my current situation, I have a BA in Christian Ministries/Missions and a MA from Regent University in Practical Theology, its just my church is independant charismatic and not mainline, is this a problem??
