Which one do I like better? Which one would I join?

I think they are all full of some pretty brave men and women and it sucks that they are being sent to die for a war that can't be won.

I think Marines are pretty hardcore... their training looks insanely difficult. HoooRah!

The army probably have the crappiest jobs... they are the ones that usually get sent in harms way.

Air Force are pretty lucky because we have just about every country far outmatched in terms of technology.

I wouldn't join any of them- they don't let my kind in!

- Are you overweight, a high school dropout, or over 34?

- None of the above. I am 6' 155lbs. I graduated high school before I was even 17. I am now 29. (I think the military also just reduced it's qualifications. They will now take you if you didn't graduate and you can be a bit older I think.)

- The gay kind. We apparently can't join because we would be too busy trying to seduce all the straight soldiers that we wouldn't get any killing done.

- You'd always be the sharpest troops in an inspection.
  Sorry, I don't mean to be ignorant, but isn't the "Don't ask, don't tell" thing still in effect, or did Dumbya repeal that?

- Oh, it's still in effect... sort of. The truth is they still actively look for gays and boot them out. I've had two friends get kicked out. Personally, "Don't ask, Don't tell" is nothing but an insult to me. I am not going to hide something that everyone else doesn't have to hide- especially not when they are asking me to risk my life.

- I don't know, but I'm just as disinterested in hearing about someone's heterosexuality as I am in someone's homosexuality. I don't want to hear about it from anyone.

- Oh, I know what you mean. The difference is that it would be fine for one person to say, "My girlfriend and I had a nice dinner last night." I wouldn't even be able to have simple conversations like that without lying. Plus, if I lived with someone I would never be able to have military friends visit my home, etc.

- That's very sad; some of my best friends are gay and I've never thought anything of it. I'd say that I don't understand why what another person thinks, feels, or does should have any meaning to me, but then I realize that would make me a hypocrite due to my deep distrust, bordering on hatred, of the religious right. But unlike homosexuals, they ARE trying to force their ways on the rest of us.

Wherever would give me a tech job instead of a fighting job. I wouldn't mind going elsewhere, but I'm a lot better as a geek than a fighter.

Navy.

I like advanced schooling. I like nuclear propulsion.

They have aircraft and can deploy most of them from practically anywhere in the world.

They have the SEALs.

I could go on about the rest of why the Navy is great, and probably will in future edits, but time is short.

The Navy...They train the US Navy SEALs, one of the best fighting forces around. They're in, out in a very short time, use major stealth and reconassaince (sp?) and are the heading of unconventional ground warfare.

Technically the Royal Marines are a specilised part of the Navy. Most armed forces branches have speciliased troops and regiments within them e.g. the SAS within the Army. Technicalities aside, I would not want to be in any of them. I would be useless in combat. I'd be scared stiff as a soldier - the conflict would probably feel more in my face if I was actually there in a combat zone on the ground. The Air Force, I couldn't be a pilot, I can't make my eyes focus on two things at once (they showed part of the training for a RAF pilot once on TV and the multitasking and spatial awareness was insanely complex). I could probably manage a more technical job in the Navy/RAF, but I don't like the idea of being stranded at sea if the ship was under attack.

However, if I had to be a service medic, I'd probably choose the Navy. I'd get my own sword for becoming an officer!

Navy or Air Force...In my opinion, they're a bit more people/family friendly. If you're interested, I have a site about joining the Navy -- what to expect.

I'm glad gays aren't allowed in the military. And the gay agenda is being shoved down everyone's throat all the time! If you don't realize that your pretty dumb! Even for a liberal!
