Military - November 2007

I really don't mean to sound retarded, but I am joining in Feb. 2008, and I have so many questions I feel I can't ask the recruiter.

I know soldiers still go to the bathroom and everything in Basic, and in Iraq [or wherever stationed] but...

My boyfriend told me he didnt shower for a WHOLE month while he was in Iraq [infantry]..

There can't be a whole lot of time women can change their...sanitary products..what happens??????

I reenlisted in 31OCT07 and I submitted my reenlistment/srb package 2 months prior to that. Unfortunately my chain of command did not submit my paperwork to psd until the 17th of October. When I reenlisted my SRB request still showed as "Pending" and still does. I was told that SRB payments are being "Prioritized" and since my EAOS is not until March that I am low priority. It has been almost a month since I reenlisted and I am wondering if there is any way to tell how long it will be until I can expect to receive my SRB?

I'm interested in learning more about the process that one goes through in order to serve another country in arms during a time of war, like the International Brigades in the Spanish Civil War and the International Volunteers during the Bosnian War. Does anyone know any more about this?

Wassup Yahoo! My name Greg and I got a question. Current/ Former Sailors, what has the US Navy done for you? I met a guy in the US Navy, a good guy who is 26 years old. I talked to him for a bit and he said the US Navy is great. He said the US Navy helped him manage a business in urban music and he is doing real estate. Then I met another guy who served in the US Navy. He worked at a restuarant with me and he said he did four years in the Navy and hated it. All he did was stay in Norfolk and clean, paint, and scrub decks and floors. He told me not to go unless you want to be a janitor. That was like the only negative feed back I got from anybody who was in the US Navy. I got an uncle who had a son who was in the US Navy and my uncle said his son is now pretty wealthy! Of course peoplr in the Marines or Chair Force says the Navy is full of gay sailors who get raped in the showers on their off-time but I know all that is just nonsense.

Given pilots of approximately equal abilities, who gets to paint a "kill" symbol on the side of his fuselage? Will it be the USAF fighter jock painting a red star on his "Eagle" or the Russian or other fighter jock painting a white star on his "Fulcrum?"

Both are fast. Performance figures are similar, but the MIG can climb faster. The F-15 has a higher service ceiling.

To even up an early MIG advantage, let's give our F-15 driver a helmet sighting system. Pretty even match, right?

Will it be a MIG driver distributing F-15 parts over the countryside or will an Eagle driver splatter the MIG-29?

This is a little more even match than the Harrier vs. F-16, but one aircraft is a little better than the other. Which do you think it is? Why?

If you go to this web site, http://www.letssaythanks.com/ you can pick out a thank you card and Xerox will print it and it will be sent to a soldier that is currently serving in Iraq. You can't pick out who gets it, but it will go to some member of the armed services.

How AMAZING it would be if we could get everyone we know to send one!!!

This is a great site.

Please send a card.

It is FREE and it only takes a second.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if the soldiers received a bunch of these? Whether you are for or against the war, our guys and gals over there need to know we are behind them

I have been struggling in school and I am dropping out. But I want to join the Marines so I want to get my GED right after I graduate. After I join the Marines will it be easier to get accepted into a college with the Marines backround?

I'm not going to describe myself and make you evaluate what is better for me. I'd just like to know what the difference between serving in each branch is.

I would love to have a gun with a ammo round filled with plutonium so if I need to defend myself, maybe government officials would get the message that nuclear proliferation is caused by the one who already has the bomb and not the one trying to afterwards acquire it.

As in " You know what, forget the guy behind me. He’s usually a POG and if he’s one of my own they'll understand." Just to sum it up, my love is a marine and he's describing that a lot of the guys are standing in line, on the ship, waiting for their turns to use the computers. ---I apologized for the "long email" that i sent him and wondered what the others guys behind him waiting in line must have thought.

I have been active duty army for 4 years now. Long story short I hurt my shoulders downrange and had surgery on both. Now I am beginning the process of a med board, but I went back to the orthopedic and he recommends I get more surgery. So right now I am trying to decide between these two options: Get out soon with the med board and get my severence pay and have the VA take care of my surgeries, OR stay in another year and have the army do both shouders again, and get paid all year, plus my severence pay when I get out?

I am torn between the two because I am tired of being in the military and I want out as soon as I can, but I am also looking at it that if I stay in another year to get both surgeries done again, I would make a lot more money than if I get out right now. Plus i'm worried if I get out that the VA wouldnt pay for the surgery. (You know how we get told lies sometimes.) Also please keep in mind that I am married with family so please tell me which one sounds better
