entire life? he only signed up for 4 years....hes still gonna have weekends off and still take leave and get paid so it aint nutin wrong wit that
apparently you didn't understand what i meant.

his life belongs to them until his contact ends. and trust me, he can't do whatever he wants. i'd like to see him smoke weed all weekend long and then come back, get drug tested, and still stay there and not get discharged.

4 years is a long god damn time too. fuck all that. all you guys are proud of him for signing up for some armed forces shit....fuckin retards...whether or not he's going to war, he gave someone else complete rights to his fucking livelihood as a human being. i was trying to be respectful about this...but he made a DUMB fuckin decision as far as human integrity and character goes, in my opinion. fuck the money, if that's all you care about then you ain't no better than the people running this country into the ground.

congrats, I'm trying to get back into the navy as we speak. If I can't get my old job back air traffic controller is one of my top choices. They offer fat reenlistment bonuses since they know they can egt out and work for the FAA for bucks

lucky for you the gov't is lettin you stay in the states....either that, or they just told you that cause they knew you'd fuckin believe them.

i would say congrats, but you have now signed your entire LIFE away to the United States government which is a very sad point in one's life. I don't recommend it.

however, i do hope that it works out for you.
they didnt tell me that... but ive read that most of the time you dont get sent overseas for your first 2-3 years because they want you to be ready because of how high stress it is... oh and your an idiot

lololol oh so you don't think they would?
hahahahahahahhahaha
ok...
someone is pretty naive to our government here..

you see, everyone is thinkin short term benefits "oh yay, money, oh yay, a future, oh yay, everything i've been told by society that's good"

i don't get it... godfather is a smart dude, i know he posted how good he tested on that one test, but its like, c'mon man, your smart, why don't you just go on to more school and get scholarships to help pay for it? then AFTER you take some REAL history classes, and learn about the government from a college student's perspective then you could decide if the goverment is still a good choice to enlist in...


its like, ok, if you become a cop, yeah you get paid pretty nicely, but then YOU'RE A COP for god sakes! lol.
your gonna become a whole different person, and it completely affects who you are...

i dunno, it really makes me sad that people swallow this shit still..


no need to argue tho, i know what everyone is gonna say, i've heard it all before..
and for the record, i'm a broke full-time college student, workin part-time, and sleepin on a couch..so no need to lecture me on how 'important' money is, its not really...

you are quite paranoid if you got that from what i said. i said he signed his life away, which he did. the US gov't owns his fucking ass for 4 years, maybe more.

i didn't say shit about chips or anything like that. i said they own his ass, which they fucking do. he is REQUIRED to do ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING they fucking tell him to do. if he doesn't do it, then they can do what they want based on their policy. which means, HE HAS NO CONTROL OVER HIS LIFE besides the weekends, and that is seriously limited.

you are one STUPID son of a bitch.

and i wouldn't put it past the US gov't to chip people. Guess what DUMB FUCK.......THEY'VE ALREADY DONE IT!

i was thinking about arguing but decided against it. I've been in college for 2 years... so your point is mute. Im actually going in advanced rank because of that.
everyone's points are valid. people who support your decision are valid, and those saying you're retarded are valid.

it'll be nice for you to make some good money, but that's a real sell out way of doing it. signing 4 years of your life away to the government...fuck all that. but it's all about perspective.

some people think being patriotic is supporting the country no matter what it does, and those who really know what patriotism is know that you have to constantly try to better the country and change it or it'll go to shit. point being, is that everything is about your personal perspective.

lol have fun killin urself, thats the most stressful job and it has the highest rate in suicide, picked one hell of a career
He's right, I worked with a guy that joined the military as an ATC and he said it was crazy stressful and the tech school is rediculously hard. He cross trained first chance he got.

While I was in Iraq I went up in to the tower once just to say what it was like and I can't even imagine doing that shit. Theres like a 30 minute span everyday where shit gets "really slow" so they can drive the street sweepers on the runway. Well that was the only time they let people tour the tower so all I saw was the "slow time". Fuck that shit, it was hectic as fuck and people looked all stressed. I thought dude was joking when he said it was slow. He was telling me it gets out of control some times. That's one job you really can't fuck up either. If you do, you could cause like a 40 million dollar accident, shit more then that even not to mention the killing of all the pilots and crew.

If that sounds like something you can do and want to do then good luck to you dude. See if you can go talk to someone in the air force in that job, preferably someone that just got out of tech school. Don't listen to the recruiter, his job is to feed you shit so you join.
