Would You Join The Army?

It does, and it did for my husband and a couple of my friends.  One of my friends wasn't even considering it at all until they came to our high school.  It's important that our country has soldiers who are proud to serve, who want that type of life.  My husband enjoyed being in the military, even during war-time.  He had moments when he was a little frightened, but it's a profession to be proud of.

Talk to your local Army recruiter.

The Army is a chosen profession, you probably signed with different expectations of what army life would be.\nYou should stay in the army if you think that is the job for you.  There is no shame in changing careers.

No, he/she could not.  One has to be a citizen of the UK to join the British military.  I spoke to a recruiter once in the british army just on this very subject because I once thought about moving there...but no, sorry, you can't.

um, no, filling the army with illegal immigrants puts them on a path to citizenship. Nice try, though! LOL

BY SAS I am assuming you mean the British SAS, unless you renounce ALL right to your US citizen ship then nope you can not enlist in the British Army and then and ONLY then IF you prove your self will you be invited to join the SAS.............NO ONE enlist into the SAS they are invited to join based on previous performances and merits after a period of time in the army  first.

College, if that is an option for you.  Only people who can't get into college should be forced to consider the Army as an option.

you  don't, sorry. You could always join the army & have Uncle Sam pay for it, but then again you might get killed over in Iraq

Yes and no.\n\nComing into the military, no.  If you're are in the military and later diagnosed, then yes, as long as it doesn't conflicted with your duties.

I serve with a guy who grew up in Scotland.  I don't know why he decided to join the U.S Army but all I can say is that  he's a good soldier.

I joined the AF right after the start of Desert Storm. I din't join because of the war that's just when I went in and I loved it. Spent 7 yrs in before I was diagnoised with type 1 diabetes. I think it's a great chance for one to grow without just being dumped on your own right after high school. MOST AF people are behind the scenes We didn't go on on the front lines. Not to mention the AF treats their people really well. IF you do join, just remember boot camp is a mind game, the real AF is not like what you will endure in Boot camp. I say DO IT!!

Speaking as a Soldier, I sure hope you can.  I know that there are many folks out there who feel that all Soldiers are warmongers who only want to go and kill and fight.  But for many of us, that isn't the case.  Soldiers (and this likely goes for all branches, not just the Army) join so that they can be a part of something that is historically honorable, noble, and disciplined.  Not everyone can be a servicemember.  It takes a definite commitment to a particular way of life.  Unfortunately, part-and-parcel to that way of life is the fact that when our government calls us to duty, we have to go whether we like the reasoning behind it or not.  That is not to say that Soldiers don't have choices.  We do. Some Soldiers have disgraced our ranks and performed heinous acts against enemy POW's like at the Ahgraib prison. But, part of our oath is that we will follow the "lawful orders of those appointed over" us.  A lawful order means that it abides by all of the rules of the Uniform Code of Military Justice and the rules set forth by the Geneva Convention.\n\nWhether our government lied to get us into this war or it was simply as really dumb judgement call by the leadership is a subject that will likely be debated well into the future. But, in the here and now our servicemen and women are far from home and in dangerous territory.  Please support them.  They support you.
