I narrowed it down between naval intelligence and air force intell.
Which do you think would be a better choice? Does the navy deal stricty with the navy and air force strictly with the air? And also which one do you is more technical and is known for their intelligence departments? I would appreciate any answers. Thanks.

A friend of mine is in Iraq and needs to transfer money to his fiance right away, but doesn't know how. She doesn't currently have any kind of access to his bank accounts, and he doesn't own any credit cards. Can any veterans, wives etc help me with this?

Q: Why do Iraq Veterans Against the War call for the immediate withdrawal from Iraq?
A: There are several reasons why immediate withdrawal is the critical first step toward solving the problems in Iraq.
The reasons and rationale given for the invasion were fraudulent.

Go to this website http://www.ivaw.org/faq and read why these veterans of the Iraq War are against it and want our troops to come home. So no more of you neo-cons who ask "are you there" "did you serve". These people really were there and did serve.

I know someone who is AWOL from the Army. He had just completed basic training and AIT. Is there a reward for turning him in and how would I do it?

A Soldier Home From War, and a Mother Fighting Hard

"“They acknowledge he has the shrapnel in his body, but he has to prove that it came from Iraq,” she said. “That’s where I blow a gasket. Prove? How’s he going to prove that?”

“He’s got a Bronze Star and a Purple Heart. That’s great. But all I want is medical advice — where to go, what’s the right thing to do.”

I asked this question before, but I've decided to re-post with less details so you can concentrate less on the details of our relationship and more what I'd like to know.

My boyfriend recently decided that he may want to join the US Army. But for financial purposes only. He wants to be a mechanic and earn money in order to get the both of us out of our financial bind. We're working to pay off school and since money doesn't grow on trees, it's not easy. We're both young, 22 & 23. However, we're not struggling...

He's not happy with our situations right now. (And neither am I) So his reason for signing up is to take care of us. He wants to pay for our tution and get us an apt, then take things from there.

Although he doesn't want to be behind an M-16, He can still be sent to Iraq and be put in harms way. If not Iraq, then somewhere else for who knows how long. I'm trying to be supportive, but he KNOWS I don't want him to go How can we possibly see eye to eye? And should I be worried

my daughter has been in the navy for seven years-she is a radar tech with two overseas deployments on the uss kennedy-she received orders to report to fr bragg in jan for two months training with the army and then a one year deployment with the army to afghanistan- my questions to lawmakers have pretty much been answered like this- yes, this has been going on for the last 8 or 9 years but it's not widely known-or well, it's suppose to be volunteer but it's not--my daughter is now buying new uniforms for her new branch of military career- when I asked the state representative how many mothers know when they sign the paper for their son or daughter to enter the navy -- they could ultimately end up in the army- he replied - not many-I would appreciate any comments and advice

Many of you have read that i want to go into the Airforce and have gotten a 97 on the practice ASVAB. The Air Force seems like a sure thing, but whats bothering me is that my recruter ignores me and never finds time to even just talk about joining. He also tells me that the Air Force dosent need alot of people. He also tells me that most of he jobs I have asked for are a "tight sqeeze" to get into. This is slightly depressing considering i had it planned to go in after graduating.

That being said, I just need some advice.

Im considering the Army becuase im strong and work out alot.
Also (dont get mad) but i dont get along with Marines

I have four sets of BDU's and six sets of DCU's that are taking up a lot of space. Should I store them until after I get out of the Army or can I get rid of them? And either way, does anybody know if this is in the regulations so I can have it in writing?

That is the question of the day. Veterans Day. A time
set aside for all of those who sacrificed life and limb, for
the continued freedom of our country. The United States
of America. But our soldiers have been forsaken, many
of them. Watch CBS news tonight at 6:30 PM Eastern
time. A special on the suicide rate of war torn soldiers. *
Now the President did not attend the National Honor
Memorial ceremony. For whatever reason.... And a lot
of people have the day off, during that time. So the big
cooperations could go to the bank, on the backs of these
veterans. Taking funds out of public services, so they could
end up in Walter Reid's type situation. In other words,
a vet hospital dump. In all the humanity ! Is Veterans
Day a scam ? Best answer wins. *

Keep in mind that a lot of Democrats wear the uniform, especially when they return to civilian life.

My boyfriend of 3months has decided to join the army. Our relationship is still fresh, but we've already begun talking about the future; marriage, children, growing old...the whole nine. We're working to pay off school and since money doesn't grow on trees, it's not easy. We're both young, 22 & 23. I live with grandma and he has an apt. w. his brother, so it's not like we have really big priorities...we're not struggling.

However, he's not happy with our situations right now. (And neither am I) So his reason for signing up is to take care of us. He wants to pay for our tution and get us an apt, then take things from there.

He wants to sign up to be a mechanic working on vehicles/machinery. Although he wouldn't be a soldier, it's the army. He can still go to Iraq and be put in harms way. If not Iraq, then somewhere else for who knows how long. I'm trying to be supportive, but he KNOWS I don't want him to go How can we possibly see eye to eye? And should I be worried? HELP!!!

I came accross this auction on eBay where a Marine Corps wife is selling a collectable to raise mooney to take her Marine husband on vacation. It looks very sincere and honest and she even posted photos of her family. I want to make a bid because I really want to do something to help these people but I know nothing about the military and want to know if anyone can tell me if this looks authentic to you. For all I know this guy is wearing an Army uniform or a fake uniform. I want to do a good deed please help me decide.

Here is the auction: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=220169799930&ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT&ih=012

My vote is for england WW2 when they bombed Hitler caves where research was held for fission technology. Germany were leading the nuclear weapons race and if they had one Hitler would have bombed the entire united kingdom and more the war would have ended straight after england is destroyed. Hitler would have ruled the world like he wanted if they hadnt of stopped him. However the skill in the strategy was the way they made the bombs skim over the water to hit the caves because they never would have done it from above it was to strong.
What do you think were the best tactics?

defeat soviet union but their money and the support of USA and its allies did the job!! why saudis and USA don't tell them on how they were used and manipulated in order to make the rich richer, and that communism would have disturbed that goal and etc! tell them the truth! they were and still are under assumption that Allah did it . that is what USA wanted them to think! right? it wouldn't hurt us much if we really want to defeat these terrorists but it sure will get the air out of these terrorists! let them know about your brainwashing techniques!

I've friends in the military and most of their marriage life is unsuccesful. They are successful in their carreers. Most Military Officers have 2nd family (I said most but not all) or worst 3rd family. Is because of the system or it just prevalent among men in uniform?... This question is not only address to Military Officers but also to enlisted personnels.. Please Enlighten Me.

If your country was in dire need, they needed every human, man or woman to help fight a war. Would you go to war?

Would you and why? What are you reasons?
