I'm 20 and have been thinking of enlisting in the military. Preferably the Army and try to enter Ranger school. Ive been thinking of doing this for years and i just want some feedback from any former army or current enlisted. My chances of going to Afghanistan or Iraq?

Your picture is a girl. Women can not be in the special forces of the army. You have to be a man, age 20-30.
So...if your avatar is a good indicator, and you are a woman, no Rangers for you. Sorry!

My advice is that you must think in terms of what you want to get out of the Military after the enlistment. What it is that you like to do?. Do you like computers, communications, truck driving, military police, physical therapy assistant, dentist assistant, health care. The Army can give you the start a something that could be career. It is up to you. Believe it or not, you can do all that and also be a Ranger with more emphasis on the infantry and jumping out of perfectly good airplanes. To be a Ranger you also have to be airborne, good swimmer and in top shape. They are a proud group but you can forget about a private life, you are not allow to have one. It is ready to go all the time. And yes, you will end up in Iraq or Afghanistan.

great idea! if you want to be ranger certified. army rangers are an elite force, nothing to joke about. ranger school is the school where a "gun ho" attitude is formed, and for good reason. to say that ranger school is exhausting is an understatement. If you go to ranger school then your chances of going to a war zone are high, but that is why people go to ranger school. they train you to be strong and live in the worst conditions. why would they train you for combat if you are not going to be in combat?
Rangers lead the way

If you're not a wimp, yes. Your chances of going to a war zone? Pretty high. My son just finished Ranger school last year and he's on his way to Iraq next month.

Ask yourself if you have what it takes? Mentally,Physically, Emotionally, can you handle life and death situations? can you take another life if you have to?Are YOU tough enough?
If you are in any of the Military Special Forces branch, Be prepared to be away for long periods of time!
Yes, YOU will be in Combat, wherever the government sends you!

i would join the marines because they are the best, and your chances of going to iraq depend on your test schools when you take your physical. my son joined the marines and wanted infantry and because he scored so high on his tests they sent him to school for aviation electronics
