Well I started working a night job at a foundry to try and go to college to become a mechanical engineer. Found out fast that would not work, joined that national guard college and living payed for and 45k (deployment) in my pocket so i could focus on college and not figure out how to make ends meet. Best thing i ever did will be nice leaving college with a degree and debt free. When most of the people i know have 50k plus and that was with a lot of help from their parents for food housing ect so they probably used 15k plus parents money, money my parents would never give me. That and if you do the right MOS you have great options for employment in the state i could right now go get a job at the st cloud hanger making great money and benefits still might.

Navy and Marines is 32 without special approval IIRC.ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ
barack obama is president. You no longer need concern yourself with your own welfare. The government, as nanny state, will protect, provide and handle everything for you. All you need do is demand your "entitlements", continue to vote Democrat and watch Oprah.
Vote democrat... because your daddy's union boss said so and millions on welfare are depending on it.

I dont regret missing the opportunity to die in the sandbox, but I often wonder how different life today (if I still had it) would be. Considering I have done well, learned a lot and am still healthy there really isn't much room for regret. That being said if I would have been some sort of hero commando shooting a gun from a supersonic jet spreading my seed across a global palate of eager women...that would be neat

I'm out now thank god. The way it's changed the past few years hell no. It ain't like it use to be at all. It's a horse and pony show and all about numbers.
The military is all what you make of it, just like life. All your actions are seen. People are always watching.Originally posted by LTDpowerTCS auto ftlOriginally posted by FernanernieWhen someone calls you a racist, tell them: You try watching your peaceful, clean, safe town that you grew up in and loved turn into a dirty, crime- and drug-ridden shithole all at the hands of one segment of the population and then come tell me I don't have the right to loathe the perpetrators.

Ive never even considered it. No fucking way am I going to be a bitch for a govt and put my life at a higher risk for this dysfunctional bully of a country. How anyone could chose to sign up to potentially kill / murder people for money I could never understand, you're not protecting our country/freedom/bs your protecting the rich/capitalist that have pissed someone else off. However if you are a veteran I would gladly help you put a VA loan to use.

You do realize units of the national guard primary mission is state and is governor controlled, in Minnesota aviation a big part of that is flood and fire fighting. Other units also aid in these and also carry out other missions for the state such as homeland defense ect.Originally posted by OhMannClint View PostIve never even considered it.
