My husband is in the USAF. He's wanting to adopt my almost 5 yr old daughter. Her father has neglected to keep contact in 2mnths and literally only pays the $198/mnth child support to stay out of jail . Is there any "help" for military families concerning this? I have an appt with legal advisors on AF Base this coming week.

I have read and heard time after time that Republican's treat the military better the Democrats. Honestly, in the 8 years that I have served while under President Bush, I have slapped in the face more times then I can count. I really would like to know what President Bush has done that was so great for military and its vetrans compared to previous administrations since I have never served under a Democrat.

Please state specific examples if you are able. Also dont repeat hearsay that has been repeated enough times there for it must be 'true'. Thankyou.

i am sickened by reports of soldiers, who, after risking their lives to serve their country, are verbally abused by mindless yobs who have done nothing but take from society. often, i have heard my elders bemoan the state of society. i am now coming to understand what they mean. when these heros are routinely treated in this way.

My husband left November on Sunday, so his only been gone for a few days. I got to talk to him yesterday that was pretty cool. My friend that her husband is also been deployed with my husband but on different ships. She told me about motomail and that its a fast way to send letters.

I know when husbands over in Iraq their wives us it. But does it still work for the husbands on ship.? How did you like using moto mail? and how long did it take for your husband to write you back? Just wondering cause I dont know how its done on ship. How do they send out letters and things to their families

Is 7th fleet is controlling the whole pacific ocean?
in 1996, China stop shooting missiles to taiwan in the rehersal, when the 7th fleet was driving thru the taiwan straight.
What if meanwhile china shoot (massive) missiles to the 7th fleet? I believe China was able to shoot hundreds of missiles as to the taiwan straight. Was their concern that China would be attacked by 7th fleet and hundreds of thousands of people would die, if they attack or even try to sink the 7th fleet. I just wonder why the 7th fleet was so confident that China would remain silent? If china lauched massive missiles (hundreds or thousands) to the US fleet, it was impossible for the 7th to avoid all of those missiles if they counter attack with massive patriots missiles. I mean at least some would hit it. the 7th fleet is always cruising in the west pacific ocean, what if North Korean or China for no reason attack it with (nuclear) missiles? If so the nuclear war is gonna begin?

I've spoken with a lot of friends who have husbands in the military and also guys that we're friends with who are currently serving their n-th tour of active service in Iraq, and most of them say that, if it even LOOKS like Hillary will win the Presidency, they will be filing for honorable discharge, and after years of repeated re-signing for additional tours, they will be more than entitled to receive it.

Frankly, my girl friends don't want their husbands risking their lives if Hillary takes charge as commander in chief. They still care about their country, but don't trust her judgement and untested leadership skills. So even though their husbands remain enthusiatic their mission, the wives want their husbands home vs. fighting "for" Hillary.

And if it's a little spoken of trend, does that mean Hillary will NEED to institute a draft? (And why Charles Rangel is so supportive of her, since he's been calling for one?)

So what are your plans (military folks only)?

My son is wanting to join the army and wondered if you joined up as a regular, if he had the potential/apptitude or whatever could he go on to be an officer? Or in order to be an officer would he have to go down the Sandhurst route from the outset?
His grades from school aren't fantastic, certainly not university material. Any sensible advice greatly appreciated.

I am retired Air Force and a former B52 pilot. Never set foot in country, thank God. But I sure owe a lot of those veterans a lot of thanks. You saved plenty of my friends who would have been guests at the Hanoi Hilton.

Lately I have seen in this section, that we were not spit on, we were not called baby killers, Jane Fonda is a hero, we should have fought for the North Vietnamese, we went out and purposely shot and killed innocent women and children. What are they teaching the kids in History class now? Maybe it is time for us to stand up and be counted. I am proud to have served. I never wanted to be in a war, I never wanted to be a hero, but I do want the respect of the people I served for.

So instead of talking to a recruiter yet, I'd rather ask for peoples opinions.

I'm currently 18 finishing up Highschool. I planned to go into the Airforce for 1) the experience & 2) help for college

Now heres my problem. I thought I only had to enlist for 2 years for the GI Bill ( why I don't know ) so after reading a lot of questions on here, I figured out the normal is 4 years of active duty, which ruined everything since I won't be going into the AirForce till I am 19 and that means I'd be getting out at 23 and than begining college and not graduating till 27 ( see the delema ? )

Now I know there is rare occasions of getting the GI Bill for 2 - 3 years of enlisting active, but I'm not going to rely on that.... Soo is the reserve program any good ( I know the info about it ) but will it help that much for college? & will my experience in the military still be worth it off a reserves program?

Do you feel that Invading Iraq took the focus off the Original enemy and / or created generations of new terrorists ? Thank You for your sacrifice, you have my whole hearted Respect! I pray you are all safe at home very soon!

I don't want to have to lug all my personal belongings all over creation and I want to know what's the cheapest and safest way to get my things back, in particular I'm worried about electronics such as my laptop.

Also, what's better overall FED-Ex or the postal service?

Thank you in advance

Also, can I mail just a Pelican case or does it have to be in a cardboard box

Like if you test to be anything you want; scout sniper, special forces. Someone told me if you test well and they want you for a high risk, high level job you can get a signing bonus.
