[QUOTE=TH3_L33T;17364093]So for the past year or so, I have been going through the process of enlisting! First I am planning to join the National Guard as a Combat Engineer (21B). After senior year of High School, I am going to basic training, after that A.I.T, currently I am 17 years old, and just started my senior year of high school!
I plan to sign up for 6 years or so, then after that decide what I want to do, if I want to stay in the military or sign up for marines, or another part of the Military.
Next Monday, the 21st is the day that I get sworn in! Wish me luck![/QUOTE]
Good on you bro. Aim high and work hard.
No, don't!
You'll miss the House Season Premire!

:OOOOOOOOOOOOO
September 23rd I'm going into basic training.
It's for the US Army and my MOS is Combat Medic (68W) Good Luck. Any idea where you're going to be going for AIT? Most MOSs have a designated place, mine, is Fort Sam Houston.
Why? Risking getting shot for average pay just sounds silly.
When you factor everything in the army actually pays pretty well, if you just look at the numbers it doesn't look like much, but you also don't have to pay for housing, don't have to pay life insurance, utilities, basically your whole paycheck goes straight into your pocket.

It's because the army is selfless and honor and apple pie and all that bullshit.
[QUOTE=KG_1;17384365]Camel Spiders. Fucking creepy man, one time one crawled up almost into my sleeping bag. I nearly shit myself. They follow you to and move really quickly almost as quick as you can run.[/QUOTE]
That's because they like the shade. They're harmless unless you try to hurt them.
Good luck. I wish you won't get shot mate.
BTW, don't rate me clocks because I know that many people before me wished good luck.
Good luck I suppose, though I wouldn't reccomend joining a military like the US.

What makes other militaries better?

Subjective. I think having the attitude of "why risk?" is silly.
Don't let the spys sap your sentries.

Hopefully this won't start a flame war, but several other militaries are:
1. More competent
2. Better-trained

Pft, I get those in my house occasionally and I live in suburban So Cal. Different species but same genus.
Good luck in BCT man. Make sure to PT hard and PT often. 11x Airborne recruit shipping in 9 months, FWIW.

Which is why we see them in Afghanistan sunbathing when the radio is crackling for fire support. That actually was the case with some Italians a few years ago.

Way more likely to get blown up than shot, and honestly I'd rather take the latter anyway, IMO.

US Army is one of the least-competent forces in the world. The nuclear weapons of America provide the backbone for the army though.
Look at the Iraq War and you can tell that US soldiers are incompetent and prefer civilian casualties and false wars over actual combat.

Statistically many armies have better training programs than American soldiers.
Try not to die.

United Kingdom, Israel, China, and others all better training than the US. Search it online for yourself.

Yea
Actually every so often in Germany many nations compete to see who's military is the best trained. I'm just going to skip to the point and say that Germany is usually first. Canada (of all nations right?) is second.
USA is somewhere like 17
You better believe it man, the US may be one of the most powerful but it is definitely NOT the best trained.
Enjoy getting shot and dying alone in a fucking desert and having your corpse picked dry by fucking birds as your organs dissolve themselves
In other words you have literally signed your death warrant.

When you say military, do you mean special groups military IE: SAS Green Beret, or the army side of the military. Big difference.

I do too doubt that it's not the most trained, but far far far from the least.

America's, that is.

Italians don't count, they're only one notch up from the French.

You're a dumbass. I would go in to a long winded post proving this, but it would be a waste of time.
