Armed Forces

[KingJiggyWiggy]

Who in here is in, or will be in, the U.S. Armed Forces?

I will be joining the Air Force in May. Man its gonna kick *** and I can't wait!

 

[Crimson King]

I support the Marine Corps. One of my best friends is serving in Iraq until May right now. Ton of respect for him.

My brother just left the Airforce. He was living in Okinawa for like, four years(lucky, right?) Of course that's after serving for awhile.

What is it you plan on doing? My brother worked on jets.

A lot of people in my family were in the military. Four(or five)uncles, two cousins, and my brother. My grand parents also were(but that's kind of common, I think, due to WWII).

Sorry to be the one to break it to you JiggyWiggy, but America is actually fascism.

To bad mate!

 

[KingJiggyWiggy]

Yeah those politics might be fascist but I'm not.

I want to do Pararescue but I know that test is too much for me. For now I'm doing Security Forces to get ready for Pararescue.

Pararescue (AKA PJ's, or Parajumpers) and Combat Control are the Air Force's special ops so they're really hard to get into. PJs are actually harder than the SEALs (or so I've heard) that they nicknamed the training "Superman School" or the "Pipeline." Thats why I'm putting that on hold.

What PJs do is go into deadly areas and help soldiers who need to get back.

Cool beans. It takes a lot of guts to do something like that. Good luck with it =)

My whole family is pressuring me to join, but
I don't ever think I could justify getting free college and
job opportunities in return for ending someone's life.

 

[KingJiggyWiggy]

Well that depends on what kind of job you want in there Taco Head. Its not all about killing, and if you want to stay away from the enemy then the Air Force is good (or Coast Guard).

And your right because you can't justify joining just for college (USAF is a college if you didn't know). You won't succeed and you will hate every minute of it if there isn't a better reason to be in.
