All offical Department of Defense pictures are taken using the top half of a dress uniform. Other pictures you may have seen are not offical DD214 "jacket" material unless they're directly related to a specific job- such as a sniper will wear a ghillie suit. No, they do not give you a choice-...

*Blinks* Better ask your stick sgt, or one of the other soldiers- out of all the problems I had as a Drill Sgt and Signal Soldier, and Motor Pool Mechanic- I've never encountered this problem. No can help this time

Prior Enlisted Officers are worth their weight in gold- I adore Mustangs and have always given them 110% of my support. Next down the list is ROTC's- trainable, once you beat the offical crap out from between their ears. Next is 90 day wonders- after 6 months, I've been known to almost trust...

In a word? No. When you are in boot camp, (formally known as Basic Training) You are under whats called "Positive Control"- that means you are under observation 24/7, for at least the first 6 weeks of basic training. By this time, the losers, wanna be's but can't bes, and just rag bags have...

It should be the first day you showed up for Basic training offically when you showed up at the "RepleDeple" (Replacement Depot) I am a former US Army Drill Sgt

OK, the bottom line is if you have to have medical marijuina then you're not fit for military service. Its that simple. No ifs no ands no butts, you're 4F

Re-Read the part very carefully about her being 18 years old. She CANNOT be listed as a dependant unless she is enrolled in College and thats good only up to age 22 (I could be wrong on that) Its not a mater of her dad getting her ID renewed. Its a mater of her showing the ID people her ID...

You need to talk to an Army Recruiter/ROTC NCO and get the details. I doubt you'll make it in time for September, 09

Rule of thumb is Housing allowance is roughly 1/3rd of your total income

Tough. You signed a contract, just like your Dad, and your Grand Father, and your Great Grand Father who fought in World War One, and all the way back to the American Revolutionary War. Be a man, grow up, suck it down AND FINISH OFF YOUR CONTRACT.

Mmmm, I think you're forgetting something here- once you are past basic training and AIT the paycheck is automatically deposited into the checking account at midnight. Long as you have an ATM card you've got cash. Long as you mail out your bills the day before with checks you should be good...

Foreign women marrying american soldiers and sailors has been around for hundreds of years. The South Koreans would like to marry ANY military person so they can immigrate to the United States so when the North Attacks their family doesn't get nuked. You need to wag tail down and talk to your...

Well then I suggest you do the South Beach diet- however, as an instructor of basic training NONE of my soldiers ever gained weight except muscle mass. So, I would see what the tape test says first.

In a word, no. Why should the Army hire someone who doesn't have perfect vision when theres 200 guys who have perfect vision? See if you can get lasic done- heck kid, thats peanuts compared to the price of your rotorwing ticket. Good Luck

You have actually asked two questions: 1)If they are severely injured, they will be discharged and given to the VA for future determination of disability and care. 2)If its a minor injury, they can be put on "Medical Hold Profile" and kept until healed. On the other hand, if someone screws up...

*Chuckles* COMPANY- ATTENTION! YOU WILL BE INFORMED OF SPECIFIC MISSION RESPONSABILITYS AND REQUIREMENTS WHEN YOU ARRIVE AT YOUR DUTY STATION. EACH DUTY STATIONS COMMANDER MAKES THE DETERMINATION ON WHAT KIND OF TRAINING WILL TAKE PLACE! Fallout, its Saturday night,,,,,

They expect you to make a good faith effort to fill out the information. Expecting an 18 year old to remember names and address from 10 years before is a bit unrealistic as kids this age have a hard time remembering to do much of anything. Having said this, this information may save your life...

Uh, I'm not sure how to politely say this- but what the hell is wrong with you? The North Koreans is threatening nuke war, their primary target is South Korea, the US navy is on alert- and you want to go to Korea with your daughter? Hun, this could best be described as "a really really bad...

As long as recruiting goals arn't being met, they'll keep the entrance standards low. GED's are essentially the sign that while you may have the intelligence, its generally accepted that there could be an emotional problem. By getting an AA or AS degree, it proves that you're trainable and...

Most militarys require you to have citizenship as you will be given sensitive information that could jepodarize their people. On the other hand, if you were sufficently trained, and you knew what you're doing, you could be hired on as a mercernary. WHOOPS! Sorry, I meant "Private Military...
