AWOL If you hate it that much... Or...break your ankle...or start a journal and say crazy shit like you want to kill yourself or just crazy stuff...leave it out for your sargent to find... You'll be out in no time.
do you want a honorable or dishonorable discharge? you shoot yourself? shag with another guy in your CO's bed? complain about back pain. i dunno. this is the reason why i chose a private military school, where i can decide to join if i want, but i have the option of not joining. i knew i was gonna change as i grew up, and i didn't want to make the mistake on signing away my life for a few year, so i chose the next best option where i coudl experience military life and see if it really was for me.
Try to get in your drill sargeant's pants. If it's a guy anyway. The whole "don't ask, don't tell" thing. But, then again, that was tried on MASH and never worked...
honor your pledge you fucking pansy bitch. There is nothing going on right now you were not 100% aware of when you joined.
Then they should not volunteer to do so. I am all about him finishing his enlistment and then going on his prefered path, but he did VOLUNTEER. He wasnt drafted.
Some branches of the military will lie to you about what your enlistment will entail...not to mention make false promises with LOTS of small writing in the contracts... People change their minds, you know...and he has the FREEDOM to do what he wants with his life...including leaving what he might not agree with or what he was lied to about.
if your word is wortheless, what else is left. I KNOW the military is not for everyone. hell its not for me, but here I am. I call him a bitch and a coward for being unable to serve for 4 years of duty he volunteered for. I personally have a problem with sending national guard personnel to Iraq or afghanistan, but he is 19, which means he was aware this was gonna happen when he signed up. 5 year anniversary of the event is...well less than 10 hours from now.....he was 14 that day. The media has gone put of there way to point out that troops are are deployed. He has no excuse for his backing out on his word.
Yeah he does. He doesn't WANT to be there...that's excuse enough, in my opinion...why do something you don't HAVE to do...or WANT to do?
you pay rent? you want to do that? I assume you dont. why do you, because you signed a lease right? He singed a lease saying he would do what those appointedover him deemed needed. I am not trying to make you prowar annie, I just want you understand, he made a decision, knowing what was involved, and now wants to back out. He needs to suck it up and accept what he did.
i agree with crummy. he signed up for it, he knew what he was getting into, and he became an infantryman - there are different MOS out there that are not infantrymen. he should do his 4 years. if people aren't sure they want to be in the military, do what i did. and you will have the option of joining or not joining, while still living a military life.
I completely agree that I should honor my commitment with the millitary, I DID volunteer and knew the consequences of my actions. However, I don't think I have the emotional capacity to take another man's life anymore. This fact puts my fellow soldiers in danger because I can't have their back, and I can't have another man's death on my concience simply because I couldn't pull the trigger.
Maybe he didn't know he had that option. If he doesn't want to be there, he doesn't have to. Do I pay rent? Not at the moment...but I have. Even on a lease you can break it with a penalty involved. What's your point?
So you would let your fellow inantry die, in order to let a man that is trying to kill you live? you are a bitch. I am ashamed you are classified as a human.
