Military - November 2007

What are the costs involved in getting a cell phone that will work in Iraq? What companies have them for sell? Do a lot of soldiers have them over there? I have a daughter in the National guard who may be going there soon!
Thanks!

I am 19 and live at home while going to school. I met a guy stationed at Ft. Benning, his parents live like 30 miles from me in Alabama. He wore a tan beret, Does that mean he's a Army Ranger? If so what do Rangers do? I really like this guy and he didn't want to talk about the war much so I never really asked.

I'm confused.

I've heard different stories from different people.

Some say you can, some say you can't.

Which is it?

Thank you

Iraq smells like burning garbage and I am starting to hate it. The urban area is like a bloody maze, maybe I just have to get use to it.
The iraqi army seem easy going and smarter than the afghans thats for sure.
Hey just asking why aren't we allowed to raid terrorist infested mosques?

If anyone who reads this who was a ranger specifically could help.

I am 20, will be 21 in feb and would prob leave for basic training so I will be 21 for sure by the time I get to ranger school.

But I am not sure how this works as me being a new enlistee, will I automatically be turned down for being a Ranger? My recruiter told me he can get me Ranger School in my contract which obviously sounds really good because it sounds like I have an automatic chance of getting in if I pass everything.

I have complete confidence in being able to pass but I want to make sure before I sign my contract that it wont be a waste of time.....I dont want to just be a normal soldier.

War is an economical process in which high technology products are produced without the need of a market for them as they are produced to be destroyed. The best aspect of the process is that such production is financed by funds of the People, that considers themselves benefited by the process, and therefore accepts it without reservations.

Besides, the process develops technologies might can be later sold with good profits to the same society that financed their development.

Therefore, battle activities are a promoter of the development of Humanity and their Global Technical Enterprises.

Are their benefits larger than their destructive aspects? Or is Humanity in a process of diminishing welfare?

My husband is in the US Army Special Forces and spent 8 month in Afghanistan, last year. He came back to the US april 2007, and started again his training and jumping exercices
(he's an Airborne). After a jump in august, he seriously injured his back. The army just send him to a chiropractor for 2 month,
no X-Ray taken, nothing! Mid-September, he could barely walk, and finally the army send him for X-Ray, and the doctor found out that his back was broken!! He was supposed to be deployed to Afghanistan again mid-October, but was denied due to his injury. Now, his team deployed and he's staying at the Fort. We decided to start the medical discharge process since he's not able to do any PT (physical training), or deployement etc...He talked to his doctor about this and been told that basically he couldnt begin the proccess until after he healed and then go through a 3 month rehab after that. Does anyone know if this is accurate? Why wait till he's healed? Any advices what to do? Thx

Will the terrorists just curl up and die if we don't get them all, or will they continue to emerge, over and over again. Are you OK with staying there for years on end?

On a scale of 1 – 10 what is the most arduous and tough jobs to do in the Air force?



On a Scale of 1 – 10 what is the cushiest/easiest



In the army we had people like cooks, mess waiters the rear echelon type supporting the troops in the front line; do you have an equivalent in the Air Force? And do you notice how the rear types come out of the woodwork pretending to be “super” veterans.



What sort of Air Force vet is one who never left the US, never went abroad and just did 4 years looking at photos coming online pretending to be a superior vet to people who had done double, three times as much service as him served abroad in multiple war zones, and he thinks he has a right to question them and demand they prove to him their service.

My ex husband is AWOL from the Army Reserves and checked himself into a mental health facility so that he can file for disability. He did do a tour in Iraq a few years ago but there is nothing wrong with him, he is just trying to get out of the service and get paid so he won't have to work. In the meantime he is doing heavy drugs and has quit his job so that it looks good for his disability claim.
This whole things sounds very dirty and unethical, should I tell somebody or report my suspicions to the VA? I would hate to see him getting paid to do nothing but get high everyday.

Seventeen soldiers will be dismissed from the Army after they tested positive for drugs.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/6083840.stm
A controversial drug which can keep people awake for days has been tested by the UK military, MPs have been told...The Ministry of Defence reportedly stockpiled thousands of pills ahead of the Iraq war but they have never been given to combat personnel.

http://news.scotsman.com/topics.cfm?tid=1034&id=906322007
BRITISH troops are being prescribed with a controversial drug which has been blamed for making US pilots "trigger-happy" and causing friendly fire deaths.

The Ministry of Defence has admitted that it prescribes the amphetamine dexedrine, which is capable of keeping users awake for as long as 60 hours.


Does this mean a LOT more Army dismissals?

I KNOW DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A&B Drugs.

anyone had any information on it. Like would he have to become an officer?? Where is the bootcamp? How long is it? Where are places he could be stationed? If we were to get married how are the military bases that we would live on? Is it worth it to go to pt school through the navy or should he just do it at home?

So I've heard you cannot be mentally ill in the least. I'm bipolar and am currently being treated..

Plus, is the USCG as difficult as other military branches?

I am waiting to hear from the Air Force on if they are going to accept me as of yet. I do have my GED but have very high scores on my ASVAB overall as well as in each catagory. I have already taken my physical as well as passed the DLAB and the EDPT. Does anyone know how long it takes to find out?

Please no comments on how hard it is to get into the airforce with a GED I am well aware and did intense research before speaking with my recruiter but I cannot really get a straight answer on how long it will take to find out.

I scored a 92 overall on my asvab as well as qualified for all jobs.... yet I am still waiting to find out almost a month later, is this normal?

Thanks!!

I have heard that most AF only deploy for 4 months, does that mean they are home the other half of year?

Also I know that Secruity Forces deploys about 6-8months instead-that is what he is-

But what jobs only deploy for about 4 -5 months in AF ?

Id like to know this so we can consider other things to train into

Thank you and bless you all.
