Is it true that if you become an officer you can be deployed at anytime for the rest of your life?

Yes and no.  Active duty members who serve a full career and retire are subject to recall (enlisted as well as officers), although it rarely happens.  On the other hand, anyone who does just a single tour and gets out may still be in the inactive reserves for a few years and thus subject to recall, but once the reserve time he agreed to when sworn in (read the fine print!) is done, the military can't call him back under any normal circumstances.\n\nRetirees don't get called back often, but it can happen-- which is one of the arguments in favor of retirees benefits.  If you retire from the Acme Candy Company and they find themselves short on licorice-makers, they're out of luck.  If the military desperately needs logistics officers (or whatever), well... I hope you dodn't throw away your uniforms!\n\nAn exception-- people who are medically retired don't get recalled, for obvious reasons.

i dont know where you want to proceed in your career after you get your degree,but ive got a lot of friends in the army,the national guard,and other branchs as well that got their training in the millitary and love every sec of it.I mean they get to travel the world, or stay close to home like the national guard or reserves.Plus once you get out the millitary you have one of the highest recomemdations of all.Right now you may think im a recuriter or something ,but in fact im not im a regular soldier in the national guard.My mos is millitary police.Currently im a security guard,ive already been accepted for the police dept but choose not to take the job until i turn 21.i stay close to home(20 min)and im very happy with the way i got my job and training.

Yes you most definately can.  The military will even do it if you are already in and 100 lbs over weight.  The only thing is its disqualifing for certain jobs.  I don't know what they all are.  The only one I know is sub duty.  I'm a submariner and have a buddy that was looking into it.  They told him he have to go to a surface ship if he got it done.  It has to do with the lack of a doctor on a sub and if the surgery comes undone you can have serious problems that an idependant duty corpman wouldn't have the knowledge to fix.

My husband is active duty, but is able to retire because he has served 20 years. I enjoy being an officers wife. He is often gone, which is a down side, but during those times I am able to bond with my girlfriends. As stated in a previous message when he returns it feels like we are newlyweds. I also enjoy the constant moving. If you move to a place that you dont like, it's no big deal because you know that in two or three years you will be gone. I work also and when he is not home I do not have to rush home to make sure that his dinner is prepared properly and the house is in proper order.

Hello Proud Army Wyfe (and rightfully so), I am in the Air force and am a small arms instructor at Sheppard AFB. I am not actually EOD (Explosive Ordinance Disposal), but I work around Army and Air Force EOD on a daily basis; and have been deployed with them. Also my brother is Army EOD and is in Iraq right now. I can tell you that yes it is a dangerous job, but they receive the best training this world has to offer and they get compensated for the extra hardship with pay bonuses. It is a very proud and respectable career field. Also when EOD deploy they "usually" only go for 6 months instead of 12 due to the extra stress. If he really wants to cross train into EOD and you talk him out of it, he might regret it later and he might think that you are the reason. If he goes EOD he can do it for just 1 term and then get out and go work for the FBI or some other law enforcement agency and make considerable money. I hope that what ever he or you decide that you stay by his side and keep supporting one of the most important people in this world. He is nothing without you...help him defend his country.

I am in the program, so i know alot about it. You will not be sent to war as long as you are in ROTC, is in the contract, so they cannot send you. Once you graduate ROTC and college, then you have as good a chance as everyone else. But for that 4 years your in ROTC, you cannot be sent to war.

well if ur in collage u can take rotc and u'll get a comision when u graduate. if ur in the army you'll be a 2nd luitenant, and u can probably request a base or hospital, but u dont get the final say.

In most cases when you are stateside they try and keep a married couple together. Now they may deploy at different times to different areas of the world, but when the deployment is over normally it is back to the states and an assignment together. Even in some overseas area where dependents are authorized as long as both of you accept the dependents tour which is longer than that of a person that chooses not to take the long tour then you might not be assigned to the same area.\n\n\nWe had friends that were in the military and married to each other, they were always assigned together, except in a combat zone or short tour area.\n\nBoth of you should apply for a long tour overseas area at the same time,or a stateside post together at the same time to you assignment branch in Washington.\n\nI hope this is of some use to you, good luck\n\n"FIGHT ON"

I think by your name you may be a Marine.  Crimes are crimes, and some, can be forgiven with hard work and a real change.  I am an NCO and I have seen troops grow up and take their duty and the rules seriously.  You can change, even if you get discharged.  You can ALWAYS choose the right path, just hope it is not to late, like for Tookie Williams.  Chose to change too late.

Depends on your age. If your under the age limit, then yes. That is if your talking Active duty. The best way is to talk to a Recruiter. If your talking National Guard or Reserves then you should have a good chance joining. You may have to go through basic again, that is if your considering Active Duty. Again, if your talking National Guard or Reserves, your previous basic training would probably be waived.

I am a Full Time Staff Operations and Training Specialist for and Army Reserve Engineer Battalion as well as a SSG on the Reserve side.  NO, they cannot deploy you for the same operation three months after you get back.  The NG recruiter is trying to get his quota.  The only way they can deploy you that soon is to change the Operation all together or change the Title of the deployment, which doesn't look like either are going to happen anytime soon.  The reserves works like the guard and it is 24 months in a 5 year time period.  You are most likely safe until your 5 yr anniversary of the day you went on orders.
