Military - November 2007

I always wanted to join the marines. When i was little i always wanted to join the army. But currently my family disapprove that i should join. I live in a strict family since im asian. Asian parents are very strict about things and abusive in ways. But i still love em. I just dont know what to say to my parents. They say things and always put me down as well as my brother. I have a 2.00 GPA since i was slaking off to much in school. Im still a junior and i know that im not gonna pass the SAT and no SU gonna accept. Since its a 3.00 or higher. I wish i could change it. I regret it. But now i have to face it. I want to major in Law enforcement since i want to help people in my society and help those in need. I wanted to join the marines and later on go to a community college and later transfer in to a SU or UC majoring in law enforcement. Is this a wise decision? Can u guys give me advices what i should do.

Thanks very much.

The duty of the working class, disadvantaged and poor to serve to protect the interest and rights of the American Middle and Upper class ! Most than seem to treat them with contempt after serving their interest abroad. If as a country you believe so patriotically that its not just the disadvantaged that must serve than why not have a draft or compulsory enlistment as in Israel ? It seems certain the US arn't about to cease overseas conflicts anytime soon, but why do the Rich feel as though its the duty of the poor to fight for their self pride ?

Listen, I know there are women more qualified for the military than me. But as an average size guy, if I did any sort of strength/military training, I would be stronger/more powerful than 98% of the woman in the military. And I'm sure this would be the case with any average guy.

So, I would never be physically intimidated by a woman drill sgt. However, even after training, I know there would probably be about 1/3 of the males in the military who could still woop my ***. And if I had one of them as a drill instructor, would be intimidated and scared.

Can a woman effectively be a drill sgt for a all male unit?

to coming home after serving a tour in Iraq? He is really struggling with the transition and feels bad that his tour is over and he is home but he still has friends and team mates over there. It is almost like he feels guilty about being home. I dont know how to approach this or help him. It hurts me to see him struggling and feel so sad. Obviously I support him 100% and will do anything to help him out but need some advice on how to do it.

I have a WWI doughboy helmet painted black. It has a WWI liner made by AJ Bates Co of Webster Mass and a date of Oct 1918. It has the number 9 painted on the bottom edge of the rim like most US helmets of WWI. It has saw dust mixed into the paint and the seller claims it is either dark brown or black camouflaged. The problem is I can find no one who can verify a US army or marine group who used this color.

I'm trying to join the Marine Corps, and I am scheduled to go to MEPS on the 3rd of December. I only got a 65 on the AFQT (no advance studying..), and I'm now concerned about something. My recruiter had me omit my pyschiatric history on the prescreen form. Namely, I was diagnosed with ADHD and OCD as a child, and prescribed medication for it as recently as 15. At the same time (15), I was also "diagnosed" with depression. Now, I have had no problem with either condition since then, and I was never really depressed. I haven't suffered from ADHD since I was a young child. None of these things affect me in the slightest, so my recruiter told me that "it'll just add unnecessary paperwork". Will they uncover my lie at MEPS? I want to be a Scout/Sniper, will the necessary security clearance uncover my lie? What if I eventually become Force Recon? If I change my story now, will my recruiter get in trouble? Will I? Could I get a waiver for my pyschiatric history? Thank you :(

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) ― The U.S. Military is demanding that thousands of wounded service personnel give back signing bonuses because they are unable to serve out their commitments.

To get people to sign up, the military gives enlistment bonuses up to $30,000 in some cases.

Now men and women who have lost arms, legs, eyesight, hearing and can no longer serve are being ordered to pay some of that money back.

One of them is Jordan Fox, a young soldier from the South Hills.

I served for four years on Active Duty which included a deployment to Iraq for a year. About a year after being Honorably Discharged I went into the Active Reserves to finish up my required 8 years. About four months after that I received a 30% service-connected disability rating from the VA for PTSD(Post-Traumatic Stress Dissorder). Does anyone know if I can get a medical discharge or any other type of discharge from the reserves because of this? The only reason I went back in to the active reserves was because I wanted to change my MOS before they tried to send me to Iraq once again. Anyone know what I can do?
