I like you SFTS. You are a good dude. ~:cheers:

Did you read my trash about joining the Corps early? When you are 17, you can go to boot camp in the summer before your Senior year (as a reservist). You will be a United States Marine for your senior year. And can wear your dress blues at prom. If that isn't badass, I don't know what is.

Then when you graduate, you will be active duty.

Semper!

Nope. But I personally recommend being a troop before leading troops.

In my opinion, that is the problem with most officers. They get all high and mighty and don't know dick about what really goes on.

The best officers I have ever had were all enlisted first. I would follow them to my death with total confidence and absolute loyalty. These other guys... well, they're a bunch of pompous, bloviated scyophants kissing up for promotion.

You want to lead? Great! But why? If you want to be an officer of men, a respected leader, and recieve true loyalty, then you must be a troop first. There is no other way. And when you have the loyalty of your men... when you look into your subordinate's eyes and know that he doesn't just trust you, but he loves you like an older brother, then you will never look at yourself the same. And you will be ready to assume the responsibility and authority that can carry grown men willingly to their deaths.

But if you want to be an officer just because you want to be the guy in charge, then your men will despise you. And when the chips are down, you will be revealed as the coward you are.

I can see how that conversations gonna go

Pops * sees SFTS with duffel bag* were ya going
SFTS: ugh camping
Ma: Thats nice
Pops You got football
SFTS Ill get plenty of excersise dont worry *runs for the door*
Pops *loads weapon* open the F*****g bag

At this point I am stopped in all honesty being a part of the USMC would be amazing but my papa dosent like it not that he dosent think its honorable (trust me this guy bleeds red white and blue) he just says I dont want a phone call saying you've been killed in some god-forsaken desert he wants me to get a degree ( something he nor my mom ever did) so 17 probably not
I would have to fight tooth and nail at 18 I am my own man he says and I can do whatever I want just don't excepect nothing from nobody including me :dizzy2: thus is my quagmire

This should probably be in a PM HUH oh well ~:cheers:

Well, you won't see action in the air force. Since when did the Air Force have tanks?

Look. Clear and simple choice. Life of pain with glory and honor. or life of ease with no glory and no honor. One or the other.

It is a hard choice. But you have to look deep in your heart and see who you are. Then you will know the answer. If the hard road was meant for you, then it will call to you. It will pull on your heart with a siren song. If you feel the pull, then you have no choice. You have to go the hard road. Otherwise, you will always hate yourself and wonder "what could have been" if only you had the balls.

I know you have some health problems. Only you know if you are malingering or not. Plenty of guys say they hurt, but really they are afraid. I am not saying you are one way or the other.

I am saying you should not cheat yourself out of your own dream. You really can do it!

But be enlisted first.

Ewww... American football.

I've learned that our surname is traceable to a noble family from the twelfth century.

And about time too!

I've learned that I never learned anything!! None so ever!:no: Wait a minute...... I just learned something! NOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo *Cough* *Splutter* Why? Why? Stuff this...... *Dives into a lava pit*

I just learned that Platon isnt his real name, but Aristokles. Platon means 'broad' and he probably was given that name, because of his size or wrestling stance.

I think it was a nickname given to him during his time wrestling.

I learned to never start Kyle Orton on your fantasy football team. :shame:

To great horor I just learned that some people who practice Yoga can actually force parts of thier ANus and intestine out of thier butt ~:eek:

I am like Rommel, I am not a Fascist and Gawain is older then me.

No just 3 threads I have participated in

What General ?, Are you are Fascist ? and How old are you ?

I just learned, that kiwitt is like rommel, that he isnt a fascist and that Gawain is older than him

eh, I was joking, I saw all those polls.

Note to self: indulge in more smileys... ~D

Gawain is a little bit older than my parents.

Pape is 7 years older than his lovely wife (and about 30 years older than his sweet kid).

Redleg fired 95% of all the stuff he fired whilst training.

That the Indpendent twists things just as much as it did the last time I read it.

That religious hatred law in the U.K. really sounds like it's going to be an immense pain in the bum: I wouldn't even dare complain about a curry the way it's going. Not that I expect people to be prosecuted by such things I just expect non-official attempts at censorship to shoot up.

I learnt, through the link provided by Martinus and via the BBC, that there is a website called "FEMA for KIDS". Which just seems really really weird!

about isometric projections in general engineering, what they are, how to make one....

I just learned that some penguins may be gay, or not knowing the difference because male and female penguin much alike. ~:cheers:

That the sioux would rather touch their enemies than fight them...hmmmm

p.s. I know the histoical stuff behind this, i just cannot be bothered to wright it down, history homework to do!!!
