I have the strongest urge....

to join the fuckin military....



I am serious....I've been on the website for the last hour and am trying to stop myself from filling out the forms.....

what would bring something like this on? I blame justin, maybe there was some psychological warfare in play during this last month....

I feel like I have something to prove to not only myself but to him too....I don't even know what it is I think I'll prove by doing this

this really doesn't make sense, and I highly doubt I could hack military life but perhaps it's time for a hard core challenge...I have been slackin for too long, I just don't know if this is the path I should really follow....

 

You crave discipline?

 

if you do, i wish you good luck with it. my chaps in the military and its a hard work, but the perks are great once u have been in a while.

its certainly one hell of a life style change though and one that requires a load of thinking about getting in to.

 

opel!! how are you? how was the visit with the hubby?


this is something i've considered off and on for years...it's just never been as pressing as i feel it is right now....
the perks are great! and I already have the perks being a legal common law and all but...nonetheless I'd rather have my own perks, I just don't know if i could be away from my boys for 3months or more at a time.

 

I spent 3 years in the Army back in the mid seventies. I came out a full fledged alcoholic and drug addict.

 

im good thanks. hes back home now. thank god. all safe and well. although he was admitted to hospital in basrah but it was nothing to bad.

ive thought about it too. mainly coz u can be a photographer in the raf and i would love to do that, but i dont think i wud hack it, especially if my hubby was away on deployment then i went, might never see each other, it would be hard. and if u have kids harder still im sure. how is your chap? is he back now?

 

I think that anyone that is willing to be someone's pawn in someone's game is really stupid, but that's just my opinion.

 

Okay, I don't know if this will sound rude or not, and I hope it doesn't because that is not my intent at all. But at my school the junior year project is called the Oral History Project. And basically you have to interview and create a product displaying the history of one person. Their life and global history (and how that effected them) and a whole bunch of interesting things.

My point is, you seem like someone that has seen many interesting things. And I wish I could have interviewed someone like you. You should see if there is a similar project in your area. You could give some kid a hell of a grade.

 

You know you won't be sharing the showers with the guys, right? And suddenly the urge is gone. :tongue:

 

lolz. and going to mess functions is always good. mess dress? :drool5: yes please

 

LOL!!! I'd probably get them kicked out of school. :cheers2:

 

i think they really feed on ppl that dont know what theyre doing or have a moment in their lives where they feel they have no direction. my hubbys been mentioning that he wants to join the navy. i asked him if thats REALLY what he wants to do... and it isnt. he just thinks he could make more of himself. but i think hes doing great. you might just be going through a time in your life where you need to make some decisions, but i would give it alot of thought. is that REALLY what you want? I think you should look into some different options. maybe schooling? or a big goal that you can accomplish. i also think that everyone goes through many many times in their life where they just feel like they could be doing MORE.

 

Well said.

 

Fuck army, army sucks.

 

i still get an urge to join...but then i talk to my friends who are already in and they tell me how much they hate it and it goes away. i had the papers signed out and everything, ready to bring in and get processed...then decided it was not worth it. its just not the life for me.

i do have friends who love it as well. i choose not to listen to them

 

we're all pawns, regardless if we're paid by the puppet masters or not...

that being said, I agree autentique, I am of the same mind set as you...in fact justin and i had a little argument and I told him he's nothing more than a glorified frat boy conformist who couldn't pave his own path and took the easy way out....

unfortunately, I dont have a lot of options career wise and can't afford secondary education....this would be my ticket, and I would also be one hundred percent self sufficient never needing justin or anyone's help again....which is my ultimate goal.


im a walking contradiction when it comes to this subject...I hate the military, I hate what they stand for, I hate their mentality, but I love my children and want to ensure a strong future for them....I want the personal challenge and the achievement of making it but I don't want to lose who i am and what I stand for.....


jait- I would get to shower with girls, not boys, which kinda makes the deal sound a lot better

 

I would have made a career out of it if I could have showered with the girls.

 

I had the same urge a year ago, when I wasn't in school and didn't have a job and sort of felt like it sounded like a great way to have a secure future. especially since they pay (or help pay for) college when you're out.

my mom didn't let me join though.

 

Don't join the army! You will end up in the desert getting shot at!

 

True.
