Struggling
Posted: 2/20/2008 3:34:20 PM
Worrying and being upset and stuff is like sittin in a rocking chair. Sure its fun, gives you something to do and think about, but when you get out of the thing you havent moved, your still in the same spot your were whe you got in it, so all of it was for nothing. Just accept the fact that its out of your hands now, nothing you do will have a positive effect. Your 21, there are others out there, better others, just go out there and play nice like everyone else.

Sorry if i sound like a prick, i kinda am.

Best Signs....

I spent 4 months as an Unexploded Ordnance Tech, and we were all given shirts with the old

'I am a Bomb Technician, if you see me running, try to keep up!'

Son Off To The Military....
Posted: 1/14/2007 4:20:06 AM
Hey. This is kinda off the mark but i was hoping someone could tell me what i have to do to join the Marines. I am an Australian, just left our Army after spending 4 years as a Commando, spent time in both Iraq and Afganistan, and left the Army to find a new life. I hate it and want back in but im expected to stay out for 2 years before re enlistment. As stupid as this is going to sound im more comfortable with myself as a soldier, and i want it back. The Marines seem to always be in a war somewhere so, can anyone point me in the right direction?

US Army Urges Dead to Re-enlist
Posted: 1/8/2007 5:19:09 AM
Hey. I just left the Australian Army, and as harsh as this is gonna sound we need more numbers. Not just here but across the whole of the Coalition Forces. I served, under Aussie control but US guidance, in both Afghanistan and Iraq. For background purposes after 4 months in Iraq, i was wounded to return home.

Conscription is Bullshit.

I dont care about the politics, what the people think or whether or not its needed. The men who are there now, deserve better. On top of putting someone there with no real training, which is what theyre resorting to, putting a bloke in with no desire to fight will bring the unit down. Remember nothing is stronger than the heart of a volunteer. (actually im certain i heard that on a soppy movie some where but its fitting) I can tell you for a fact that i would refuse to fight alongside a draftee. A draftee doesnt deserve the right to bear the same burdens as a man, or woman, who earned the right to be there through training, determination, and belief in the cause. He/she who doesnt believe, will continually remind those around how much they hate it, and slowly but surely the team breaks down.

Im not as read up on this as you guys, but being there and going through that, when im healed im re enlisting. I have that belief, that we are doing the right thing, and in the end its enough to get you through. If yas can understand that
