My name means "Exalted Warior"

[black_ledgend]

I guess it's become fairly common knoledge around here that I'm considering - correction: STRONGLY considering joining the military. I know that I dont exactly fit the whole "grab your gun and shoot the bad-guys" type, but than again, neither do most of the other people I know who are already in the armed forces

I love you!

Thanks for the kind word *tears*! I love you and support you in this decision! If you need any advice about how to get stationed where you want to be or anything I'm here. I have said my peace to Jess about her stand on things. This would be the best thing for both of you. All of the benifits would help you out so much. The AF has a program that would pay off any debt you had before joining. Good stuff. The medical benifits alone are outstanding. You would never have to worry about her medical bills again. If she need meds she could go get them. If she needed to see a doc she could. You know it only cost my old boss $29 to have a baby! I'm here for you!

I'm not going to speak for or against this decision. It's yours to make. I will say that, my anti-this-war stance aside, every male member of my family, barring this current generation, has entered the military, and frankly, this current generation (of one, highly medicated male) doesn't qualify (due to medications). And I am very proud of my family history of staunch Navy men.

I've said it before, I'll say it now--I'm all for war, just not *this* one.

Make the best deal you can, survive Basic to the best of your ability, you'll figure out if it's for you or not. And going to war will strengthen you and craze you and break your heart and firm your resolve, and these are things both terrible and great.

Hope you live and come home undamaged. That's really all I can say.

ok my only beef is that jess says your are LEAVING HER BEHIND for the air force. if that means your not coming back then i have to say your an idiot for letting her unemployment cause a breakup. if it means your only leaving for bootcamp.....your still an idiot for joining the military in my opinion but hey thats your mistake;)

Leaving her behind

[fairyoffire]

What she means is she refuses to support his decision and has decided to stay behind because "her parents need her"! Furthermore the only people I have ever met that bad talk the military or someone's decision to join have been people who have never served this country! Anyone who has been in for any length of time will tell you it was a good decision. The military is not in the business of breaking up families. Serving this country is one of the most honorable, selfless acts you can do. If it weren't for military men and women you might be speaking German! Think about that! What needs to happen is that you teenagers need to stop living in your make believe world of X-Men and Final Fantasy, and see that this is the REAL WORLD! There are bills to pay, there are medical expenses that need to be taken care of, and so forth! So before you go passing judgment on who is an idiot you need to be educated on the situation. Other wise you open you mouth and make ignorant statements! Aaron's decision to join is one of the most mature

Where Ya Been?
