Military - December 2007

I want to hear the pros and cons of the Navy.
I also want to know if there's a possibility of getting the GI Bill upfront to go to college first and then going into the Navy as an officer.

Any information would help.

Sikhs make up 1.87% of the Indian population and yet they were a majority in the Indian army at one point. They have the most medals awarded per person since WWI, WWII and countless other battles (eg. Sarangati battle: 21 Vs 10,000). They were also the only ones to control Afganisthan at one point.

They are also athletic people. When all players were Sikhs on the Indian field hockey team, they brough home 4 straight olympic medals. (However the Indian govt has quotas for gettin players from diff states so now the team ranks low). They also produced alot of runners, marathon runners, wrestlers (one is in WWE : 7'3, 400 pounds of muscle).

So I was wondering if Sikhs are still keeping their warrior identity and comprise most of the Indian army today?

They seem to be mostly broken and go for years without repair.

I'm thinking a degree in Physics with a minor in Astronomy. Is there a better degree for this particular job? Also, if you know of anything that improves my chances of getting this job, I would love to hear it!

I was wondering about the argument where terrorists will follow Americans back home if they withdraw their troops from the Middle East.

If they'll be able to enter the and attack the United States if they withdraw, what's stopping them from attacking now?

The only benefit I see in attacking only after the U.S. withdraws its troops from the Middle East would be to widen the gap between the Democrats and Republicans by letting the latter say, "I told you so," further widening the gap between the Republican and Democratic parties. Otherwise, what's keeping them from attacking right now? How does the fact that our troops are there keep them from making attacks on U.S. soil now?

i'm enlisying next month, and i know it is the right move but i get so nervous when i think about leaving my family and friends... also explaining my decision to everyone is not something i feel like doing right now in my life...for the past year and a half I have been trying to get it together, and I don't think most people will understand, I'm supposed to be graduating from college by now... and i'm 2 years away....I think people will say I'm running but I'm not... I have thought about this for a year, anywho what emotions did you experience when you decided to enlist. I know finish school get a job is what I should do, but for the past year in a half I have been wasting my time and my life... I'm 21... I have tried everything, I wanted to join last year but was too concerned about everyone and everything else. so what were your feelings when you joined. just want to know if the nervousness is normal?

How many guys (even gals) out there go commando (do not wear underwear) when they are wearing their ACUs or BDUs (a.k.a. camis or camoflauge uniform). I always find it more comfortable. Curious to see what everyone else thought.

I am currently deployed to Iraq, and have 9mo left of my tour. I have major back problems due to a vehicle accident last year at this time. I have been to the doctors out here and they have put me on a P3 permanent profile and have recommended I redeploy back to the states for MEB, treatment, and final medical disposition. My P3 profile states that i am unhealthy for deployment. My unit is being stubborn and they are not complying with the recomendations of the doctors out here. They will not send me home to get the medical attention that i need. I have been told that no one can deny you medical treatment in the military, so i ask are they able to deny me the oppurtunity for redeployment and medical attention back in the states? Is there any way that i can fight them on there decision about my medical issues?

I speak as a European Christian. I say it is the 5th Crusade (do your history) in everthing but name. We should be ashamed of ourselves. Did we not learn our lesson? Do you know that we (Christians) murdered over 90,000 women, children and men in the 1st Crusade sacking of Jerusalem? The knights were walking waist deep in blood and guts. They raped everything in site. They were out for themselves and nothing else. "Deus le Veult" (God Wills it) was being shouted from the roof-tops in Norman France. They had no more interest in God then the man the moon. George Bush's war may not be as bloody or rampant but it has the same goals. Now I have 1 question; is that Christian?

I heard the British army are recruiting 700 snippers? Is this true? If so would 29 / 30 be 2 old? I'm a little of a drifter on my career & get bored quickly so would it take long to qualify or be told I'm not good enough. I've always loved the idea of a snipper as I am not a fighter at all I just adore the skill of assaination.

The World Trade Centers were both hit near the top of the buildings, not the bottom. Why would the two towers fall literally straight down when the problem with them wasn't even near the core? The only buildings that have fallen straight down were done with demolitions. Buildings that have caught fire (In the entire industrial age) have reached similar temperatures inside after burning with different variations of time. They all have burned upwards, unlike the towers, which just crumbled. My question, how did two buildings fall straight down when they were hit in an area that wouldn't have made them crumble? They are also the most modern of the buildings that have experienced a fire and the only ones to fall. Don't give me the jet fuel excuse, buildings have burned longer and reached similar temperatures before. Did Bush want a reason to go to war because we've been at it ever since? Why was all the money removed from the banks in the vault underneath the towers the day before?
