Meeper you will probably see active duty in some desert. They will say anything to you, but once you're in you're government property. That's what you want out of life? To be someone's property, just like slaves were back in time? You can make it in life without joining the military.
What is it with so many cute, intelligent, fun WTF girls joining the military? IT's the opposite of the military, yet they're thinking it's what they need to do because they have no direction? It's fucking scary to me.

Jesus Christ don't do it. Go be a registered nurse at an actual REAL hospital or practice.
Why would you want to work in the fucking Army of all things? Especially at a time like this...
I'm A+ and Network+ certified so I could have gone into the Army for computers. But I work at Geek Squad because Best Buy has a wonderful corporate culture and The Army is a bureaucracy of douchebaggery.

;843922']Descent, she'll actually get better training in the army. She'll also get real experience with some bad things. That's the hard part. Also, some health care specialists are worthless (they think everyone is faking it). Some of them are awesome.
You will get some time in the sandbox. Not actual combat, but desert time. That means she'll see men laying on a table, screaming to the top of their lungs, and dying right in front of her. She'll also have to face the fact that she will have to work with cheap, worthless equipment and medicine.
I'll even do this. I'll do pros and cons.
Con: While you are in training, you are a statistic. They will shove you through the course, regardless of what is going on because they get rated on how many soldiers they train successfully. They'll make you graduate, because it looks good on them. Most of the Drill Sergeants/Course instructors don't give a shit about you, they just want to get rid of you and make you someone else's problem.
Pro: You have a lot of things at your disposal to counter this. Most of these resources will not be disclosed to you. They will try to send you to see a chaplain (just because making you do that covers their ass, and it's supposedly a fix-all to any of your problems) or make you use other resources. They'll put your business out in the open, and use it to humiliate you and degrade you- simply because it scares other soldiers out of going to a doctor/counselor/whatever. However, you always have a congressman you can call. It's easy to do.
Con: Most of the other females will be whores. They'll act like your typical little college girl, and since there is more access to dick- they will fuck like rabbits. A good chunk of them will actually be trying to get pregnant so they can get out of training. They will also try their best to be a little princess and get out of duties. Most guys will be trying to get into your pants- Danni says she gets annoyed by guys all the time, even when she makes it clear she is married. These dumbass kids will throw hotel parties with 2 girls and 9 guys, all get drunk, and then "rape" accusations start flying.
Pro: You will make some of the best friends ever while you are in training. I still maintain contact with all my war buddies.
Con: Your reserve unit will be shitty. I spent 8 months in the reserves before I returned to active duty, and it was probably the most disgusting peice of military I have ever seen before in my life. I was given no uniforms (I had to buy my own set of BDU's), no guidance on army standards (instead they wanted to write counseling statements), and they were not organized at all (I got a phone call at 11 PM notifying me that I had to be at work an hour earlier the next day).
Pro: You can be a total slacker in your reserve unit, because everyone else will be- even your command.
Con: It's not the way it was when I first got into the Marines. Back then, we would beat the shit out of someone, or just make him do something stupid when he fucked up. After that, it was over and done with, and we forgot about it. The new Army is all about paperwork. Hell, they can only make you do like 10 pushups, anyway. They write paperwork on you, and they use that to get you in trouble- basically fucking your career.
Pro: It's easy to keep your nose clean. Just be at the right place, at the right time, wearing the right thing. It's pretty simple to not be a fuckup.
Con: It's a new kid-friendly army. The little faggoty marching cadences are censored, they bitch non-stop about smokers (to the point where my post has a no-smoking hour), and we have to be culturally sensitive or someone gets all butthurt.
Pro: Holidays. I'm on one right now. 4 days.
Con: People scream racism, rape, sexism, discrimination and all that jazz non-stop when they don't get their way. As a matter of fact, they do sometimes have to promote someone because they are black/female/hindu or whatever.
Pro: You get to play with guns.
In a nutshell, Meep: You're not going to get out of this what I got out of the Marine Corps. It's a new age. I was beaten, screamed at, and thrown around- but I was pushed beyond what I thought I could take. It did really good things for me, and it brought out a part of me that I am proud of. Yeah, it made me a little cocky- but at least I have something to be cocky about. These days, it's fucking weak. It's like a bunch of children playing GI Joe. I sit and watch on a daily basis and mutter to myself "this is what is getting us killed". Face it, it's been pussified. I've even said to soldiers, "when you die for being a politically correct pussy, I get your food".

;843975']I have metal parts in my body. The Marine Corps is more physically demanding, and I've already had hairline fractures around the screws, bolts, and plates from running. It's either the Army, or back to the (hang on, I think I'm about to throw up) civilian life.
Regardless of anything, I do NOT want to go back to that. I hated it. Too boring.

Ok then, that makes some sense. Meeps, sorry I didn't reply to your thread directly... but you already know my feelings on the US Army.
My father- A PTSD Vietnam war vet (Although it's Boot Camp that he has flashbacks of, not the war).
My cousin- Still trying to get benefits after getting his leg torn off in Somolia (I don't even begin to understand how they could deny him, "Capable of an office job", my ass).
My friend Rory- Deemed mentally unstable after what THEY put him through.
Yeah, I don't really have much heart-felt love in regards to the Army.
