I'm considering joining the Air Force. I understand the need to place recruits in positions that need filling. I scored a 98 on my asvab and I'm wondering what my chances are of getting a job in television and broadcasting/still photography/visual information. I've heard that there is a large influx of people joining the air force and that it is difficult to get a guaranteed job. I have a lot of experience in photojournalism from high school and a couple years of college. Will this help my chances of getting that position?

This is not about a failed PT test. This is strictly overweight. What does the Army gain by barring a Soldier from reenlistment when wieght control is the only issue? The Soldier does not fall out of runs, can ruck like a champ, and others are surprised when they hear he busts tape.
Especially considering the money being paid to get new recruits, do you think the penalties in AR 600-9 are too harsh?

Winston Churchill said that appeasement is like feeding an alligator and hoping the alligator doesn't eat you last. The history of the the buildup of WWII and the war itself is a perfect example of Churchill's wisdom.

The Middle Eastern West haters are like the liberal America haters here at home: They cannot be reasoned with, they may have disparate personal views but they all unite in their desire to wipe out the Western World.

Kill Hitler? Yes. Kill the Islamo-fascists? Whadayathink?

If you support the war on terror, you understand that that takes the military, and that Bush started what will be known as the salvation of the world's innocent people.

Should there be a multi-branch guard force for the tomb?
Yes, the name of the tomb would imply that it is a Army thing, but the unknowns can be from any branch. In fact a unknown interned there was identified to be a Air Force pilot. So do you think the other services should be able to render honors to the unknowns as well?

I am a college student. I want to be a seventh grade social studies teacher, but I have been feeling the need to serve my country. I have considered the guard, and I want to teach, but I feel like I won't be giving my all going into the guard. Hopefully some people with experience can help me out with this question.

My boyfriend is going to be stationed in El Paso, Texas. I currently live in Maryland and am planning to move there with him. I am interested in teaching on the military base where he's going to be stationed. How would I find information on that and what are the requirements?

Also, what's it like teaching at a military base school? Is it different than teaching at a civilian, offbase school?

I am joining the USMC so dont throw things at me like then why dont do it yourself i dont want to hear it. I've heard in person and on the web countless amount of times putting down other branches. Ok competetion is fine to some extent.

Marines-Hardest
Army-Hard
Navy-Kind of hard(if you hate water!)
Air Force-Least Hard

We are all America's Military there is no need to put down another branch. He has your back as you should have his. We are all fighting for our country and thats all that matters, just different missions and jobs. Big Deal! Shut up!

A Japanese soldiers novel;'After the main force had crossed the gorge,they blew the suspension bridge.The thousands who trailed behind were left to die.We were at the end of the line.Soldiers who had sruggled along before us littered both sides of the trail.It was a dreadful sight.Some were already skeletons,it was so hot that they soon rotted.The dead bodies became road markers.I came to feel the Australian Military was very strong indeed.Our reinforced 78 th Regiment had sailed from Pusan with 7,000 men only 67 survived,of my own 261 man company i was the only one to board a transport ship to Japan,I was told that of 170,000 men who went only 10,000 returned home'..........which campaign was this Japanese soldier talking about:(1) Solomon Islands(2)China(3)Burma (4)Okinawa (5)New Guinea(6)Iwo Jima

I'm 17, female, with a lot of leg problems. My family cannot afford to send me to the College I would like, or my medical issues.

But the air force has medical, plus the exercise would help strengthen and help my endurance, my living and schooling would be covered, and I could make a career out of the military, helping myself in many different aspects of my life.

I'd like to hear from people who are in, or who have been in the Air Force and army, tell me what it's like and if I should join. Also, I don't smoke, and i'm not really a "social" person, so a huge social networking and such isn't important to me.

During the First Great War, do you think Mexico would have attacked American soil? Germany wanted Mexico to go to war with the US, but would an invasion have been successful?

You think we should stay in Iraq, or continue this war and I don't think that you should be shot or put in jail for your belief.
But:
Do you advocate aggression toward me? Should I be shot for not supporting this war through taxation? Should I be put in jail?
