Military

[BigWaveDave]

I'm in the Marines. 12+ years. Call me Gunny. ;)
Unless you've served, you don't have a leg to stand on, talking shit about the military.
I don't care if your grandpa, aunt, brother, stepdad, cousin, etc. served.. Unless you've done it YOURSELF, stfu, and gtfo.

If you HAVE served, and talk shit about the military...
THANK YOU VERY MUCH for your service. Seriously. Doing something you obviously hated for 3-5 years is HARD. Sorry you didn't have a great time! The military isn't for everyone...

I will say that if I had to do it over again, I might have gone to college first and joined as an officer. DEFINITELY the way to go.

Hoo-rah Gunny!

Holmes, Comrade,

You are educated, to an extent. I have a question for you though. Democracy is a great thing, but there is one thing that can cause a catastrophic downfall of it. Can you name it? Can you put that in your OWN words?

inevitable political pissing contests aside:

iraq sucks, and i hate it here, but i was bored w/ my career choices and wanted to do something else. for better or worse, i got it. if i had to make the choice over again, i'd do the same.

to anyone considering it: it will be high-tempo, no 2 ways about it- i joined the reserves but by the time i finish this tour, 2 years of my 3 will have been spent on active duty- but on the plus side i've gotten training & a bit of experience @ 3 different jobs (medic, engineer, signal) in that time, and then there's the new GI bill...
