The best way outta the millitary?

dunno if this was for me or not, but i'll answer anyways

i was going to join the marines after high school, and then i found out about Noriwch Univesity. and i found out about ROTC and norwich offers all 4 rotc. so i came here to be in the marine option rotc, but switched over to army rotc, just because they did more training and gave money.

now - i don't do any rotc because i know it isn't for me anymore, i'm still in the corps of cadets though, so i do wear a uniform at school. but i did get $3200 from the gov't just by being apart of army rotc, hahah

but a lot of my friends are going to become officers, 2 want to go SEAL, and a few joined the Nat'l Guard and regret doing so, but are going to stick it out.

 

He's a bitch for not being able to shoot someone?

Wow...I must be a serious bitch...it's called sensitivity...he's admitting he's not emotionally capable enough to shoot someone. So the ability to shoot someone measures one's masculinity?

 

his backing away from putting his life on the line like he promised to do makes him a pussy. His volunteering in the first place is what I dont understand.

 

my recruiter told me about it. he didn't ask the right questions enough or just didn't ask any questions....who knows. but i did and my recruiter helped me out and now i know the military isn't/wasn't right for me

 

Thats my whole point! I don't want my fellow infantrymen die because of my actions, which is why I was asking for anyones advice on the subject. The problem I have with killing another person is that I don't feel he is any better than I am. He's fighting for his country, as am I, my life is worth no more than his is.

 

Annie, you didnt join the military, right?
He did.
are you gonna pretend for a second that an 18 year old american was unaware the military shoots people?

 

Thank you.

 

18 year olds are pretty cocky...they think they can do anything and are invincible...he's beginning to learn that that he isn't invincible after all. You need to give the kid a break...I think he's coming to a realization with himself that he's stuck in a situation he doesn't want to be in...he's trying to find answers. He didn't come in here to be called names.

 

You joined voluntarily. I am not a pacifist, I dont think violence can be avoided. You are afraid to die, as am I.
However, if you find a way out ( which isnt that hard so I assume you are doing this for attention and status) I will forever brand you a coward and a bitch. Does my opinion matter to you?
Do others that served feel as I do?
GO about your life soldier.

 

look, go talk to your CO or 2nd LT or PLT. SGT or Ssgt or whoever and tell them this. if they don't listen, go over there heads to battalion XO or something. since your nat'l guard, try to switch your MOS to something else where the liklyhood of you shooting someone lessens quite a bit.

 

I was completely aware that I was going to shoot someone, I joined the infantry. At the time I thought I could do it, hell I was excited to do it. But now I feel that it is wrong, and I don't really care if you don't share my opinion on the subject. Its the way I feel.

 

Well he is gonna. I am am gonna call him out for the pansy that he is. He joined the military. Killing is why the military exists.

 

To tell you the truth I didn't even think about changing my MOS, but that is a very good suggestion. Thank you for that.

 

Way to show your maturity level there

 

I dont care if you die. You said you were willing to give your life if it was asked. If your word is that worthless to you, that you can turn your back on that which you swore...I hope you die. You obviously have no value as a human.

 

Would lier or deciever fit your sense of propriety better? Thats what he is.
and a pansy little fraidy cat bitch..

 

Wow, that was a pretty sick statement. But, I suppose since you're a soldier, it is to be expected...proves over and over why people shouldn't get involved in the military. It makes you speak that way.

 

since your in the national guard, you can relocate and contact the national guard in another state and get transfered there.

 

I'm sorry that you don't agree with me, and for the record I don't fear death, but there is no reason to degrade me because our opinions aren't the same. I think you need to grow up a little bit and stop bastardizing people on the internet. Its really childish.

 

Didnt you wish people woukld just kill themselves instead of reachout for help?
