I understand this is, for the most part, based on desire. I also understand the corps comes first and when I sign those papers I expect nothing less, but I do have to look out for my future and just wanted some info.

This is my plan:
What I want to do is go in to the intel field, move over to counter intel and during all this work up to becoming a scout sniper. However, during my first four years or so I want to earn my college degree. I am looking at going in enlisted because I feel it is important in becoming a efficient officer. My real questions I guess are : Are the online degrees worth much?, Is it really possible to earn a college degree while in the Corps or do they move you around too much?

I want everyone who has something to say, to answer, but please keep in mind I am looking for facts here so if at all possible please hold your opinions. Thanks!

Okay if you get getting relieved from the military and they said they are going to pay for the transportation/movement costs to your home of record.. like when are you allowed to use that money?

If your "final out" day is the 4th of December do you have to move back home ONLY on the 4th??

Or can you like wait to week to try to find a new job (and if you dont?) Will they pay TMO after you tried to find a new job?

Sorry if this sounds confusing

PLz don't say oil and Operation Iraqi Liberation (OIL) I know that. But im on a debate team and i have to persuade the class that the war is necessary. I need all the help i can get cos this is a cold topic. I need the reason that you see the president give on tv.
Please try to think pro-war when you answer this question. If you disagree stop wasting my time.
Thx

I've been to a Marine and Army recruiters, but thought I should find this out so I can catch them if they lie to me when I ask them. Is it possible to get your first duty station in the enlistment contract?

I've heard it happening in the Army, and that you have to forfeit your enlistment bonus but that doesn't really matter. Under any circumstance, can you in either of these branches?

I'm a freshman in college and i'm scheduled to start Army ROTC next semester. I've always wanted to go to either West Point or Annapolis but my high schoo grades were average, my SAT scores were light, and I wasn't an athlete. I know that you can apply to the academies any time before you're 22, but should I bother? If I can get good grades through my first few semesters and raise my SAT scores (I got an 1110 out of 1600) and perform well on the physical examination, do I have a realistic shot at getting in? It's always been my dream but at this point I want to know if it is worth it to complete 2 years of college and then enter an academy. I know that I can become an officer through ROTC but I feel that an academy would prepare me to be a better leader. What are you'e thoughts?

I asked a question yesterday about why did it seem like the military had many mentally ill recruits and, of course, most of the answers I recieved were insults.
Well, what do you think about this:

ABC News ran a special last night about a possible problem with the use of illegal drugs (most notably cocaine, marijuana, meth) by returning troops from Iraq and Afghanistan as a way to get away from the realities of war they face in their lives after returning home. I didn't see the special but read about it on military.com. Do currently serving members of our Armed Forces see the problem escalating on bases around the US in larger numbers and easier to get the drug of choice, or is it a fairly small number and those are using this habit as an excuse for possible injuries or trauma experienced? Also, do you feel the DoD is doing enough to help the soldiers/sailors/marines/airmen/coast guardsmen including reserve components with addiction problems? Im really interested in hearing what Active and Reserve troops and Vets of the current conflicts have to say or know themselves on the issue. Respectful answers only please.

I have to ask this question because it just happened at the job I work for. A lady that works there told me that her daughter was coming to work the following day. The next day, I was asking her about the daughter because I mistakenly thought this other girl was her, and she told me that they wouldn't hire her because she was in the Reserves, and it was likely she would be going to Iraq, and that someone else who really needed a job could get this job. I thought that was so funky. Look, I just want honest answers here. No opinions. If you got facts. let me hear it.

The way Indians are treated in Malaysia, it is total let down, i think Indian army should be sent over there to restore balance. If India sent army against LTTE why not send army to protect Indians.
