What would you be willing to do for a man in uniform?

well, since I am married sex is out of the question. I would make him a big homecooked meal with all of his favorite foods. I would draw him some nice hot bathwater so he could take a relaxing bath. I could give him a back and foot massage.I would write him letters while he was in service. send him care packages. Would that be enough? I can not think of anything else.

Accept him as he is.  That would be something that he would really appreciate from a friend.

do whatever he wants to

Yep, I just did it. Have him talk to his unit's readiness NCO and get the packet started. Talk to an active-duty recruiter. Be warned though, the National Guard doesn't have to let him go, though they probably will. Also, it takes a while; it took 2 months of almost daily phone calls for me to get my paperwork finished.

LET HIM DO WHATEVER HE WANTS TO

Sounds great! I wish you luck. I was thinking on similar lines myself. You think these contractors would take in former non-US army personnel? Send me details if you come across any please.

Absolutely not!!  That would be an UNauthorized decoration on his uniform.  It's not only NOT allowed, but it wouldn't look right next to ribbons.  If you feel strongly about getting him flowers, get him a very small bouquet for the table to keep at home.\n\nGood idea asking before you went out and did it.  Have fun and enjoy!!

I would increase the budget so Soldiers could go to schools (Airborne, Air Assault, Ranger, etc.), soldiers love schools and lately no one wants to give anyone up to go to school if it is not required for his job.\n\nLet people do what they want.  Too many branches (like infantry, MP, Armor) will not let anyone change branch to what they want but that same Soldiers time is up and they can get out, that's a good way to keep people!  Also for everyone who can't stand his job their is someone who wanted that job.  When they asked me what I wanted last year I said "If you can get me working with Iraqis I will do 2 years in Iraq" Well they sent me to Atlanta and now they can't pay people to go on these Iraqi training teams.  I think the only way to fix this is to set up an army message board so Soldiers can trade assignments when they are coming out.\n\nGet rid of all the useless slots in echelons above reality.\nMy current unit in Kuwait probably hurts the war effort by wasting manpower in a HQ building that does little if any real work and it counts as a deployed tour.  I would cut every sections personnel in half and move as much of the work back to the states as possible so at least people could be getting their stabilization while in this lame job.

yes, you should report it stolen.  someone could dress in the uniform and attempt to pass through security as an employee.\n\nfake a badge....look like you are supposed to be there.....it's easier than you think :)

lets face it would you realy want to put him on your pay role. haaaaa you can always take blaire as a stand by. when 1 fails in his work the other can take over. double trouble.

He is not sworn in yet, he would still at this point have to report for his physical and also be sworn in.\n\nThe recruiter is not going to help you or tell you anything about getting out.  You need to read the contract yourself and see about where the cluse is.\n\nAlso look on the paper work for a commanding officers office and number. \n\nJoining the army is not like going to work at Walmart, you can't just quit.

Anything you like\n\nBut here is some suggestions:\nUse him as a door stop or a paperweight\nenter him in American Idol \nnominate him as a presidency candidate\nnominate him as the secretary of defence

If you are on active duty the military can choose to try you themselves or let the locals handle it.\n\nShort answer:  Yes.

Do you know what unit he is in or where he is stationed?

At our local grocery store there is a list of things that the soldiers need. It includes, shaving razors and cream, sun screen, chap stick, instant oatmeal (small packages), soap, deodorant, magazines, stamps, "find the word games", cards, subscriptions to magazines and snack food such as raisins.  Also I think he might appreciate those new crystal light packages that come in an individual size, because apparently they get lots of water but not many  other choices.  Also movies and Cd's are on the list.  how nice of you to think of him.
