Oh yeah.

The satellite communities are even offering 40-50k to 1st time educators.

The pop growth as dropped a bit but they're still far understaffed in education, law enforcement, etc...

Forget college money, benefits and other reasons.

The only reason to enlist in the Army is to put the beat down on our nation's enemies. As a member of the greatest team in the history of the world (US Army) you will acrue benfits galore that cannot be measured on a spreadsheet. Being a Warrior is a sacred vocation and its not for everybody. But once in the heat of the battle, you will find yourselves surrounded by outstanding Warriors, led by brilliant and fearless men, and equipped to put the beat down on rogue nations with biblical proportions. Forget you fairies, wimps, pansies and wanna bes. The Army is for MEN who care, MEN who matter, MEN with guts and convictions, MEN who are ready to risk all for TRUTH and JUSTICE. To such men properly belongs the glory and honor of our proud nation. All others need to applaud and salute their beneficiaries.

If you have the guts and the heart to put it all on the line, see your recruiter. Everyone else, watch and learn.

Jesus Christ you sound like a damn recruiting poster. lol

Just keep in mind that the Army isnt all butterflies and dandylions regardless of how anyone tries to sell it to you.

Its good, I have made life long friends and have seen things that I will never forget, and others that I wish I could only forget.

Well said!

Also well said!

Blood, blood makes the dandylions grow, drill sergant!!!!

After 14 years, 3 overseas tours, 2 combat deployments and the Combat Action Badge, I can say that being a Soldier is its own reward. If you lack the guts and spine to stand up for your country, stand up on the shoulders of the brave vets that have bequeathed our freedoms to us, if you do not think that a few years of physical sacrifice are not worth sustaining this great and free nation, get the hell away from recruiters and go home. We are a nation of 300 million people relying on the sacrifcies of only 3 million military personnel, and those who are in uniform know the cost of preserving our freedoms, and it has nothing to do with posting bold statements on an internet bulletin board behind some anonymous username. If you lack the courage, forget about the benefits and support those who lay it all on the line.

16 years and thousands of posts trying to get others on a message board validate every single on of those years.

Nice.

I heart you all

ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL

I pity the fool who lets the 4'10" female recruit put you to shame because SHE is willing to sacrifice all for our country while you plow the couch with the remote. I know such women personally and you should be ashamed because of their guts. Get serious about what is really important and go see your recruiter.

Wow.... you're like that crazy guy from that movie...

BTW, did you want to throw the police, fire, and ems service members into the mix of laying it all on the line?

now days even teachers and preachers could stack in this pile too.




I am in no way trying to discard your belief, but I too am a vet and understand from whince you come. but come on, it's 1 am and no one needs to toe a line right now.

:BS:

Really?
Our nation is at war in 3 countries and heading for a 4th, and you think no one needs to sign up now? You are a veteran of what?
