well, a couple hundred off of 2800 would leave 2500, about 600 on 10pm thread. the majority of the rest on game threads, and then the rest just being opinionated, spreading love (not luv) and yelling at Gochiefs. |

Most contracts are for eight years. They generally are a mix of active and reserve time. For instance my first contract was for 3 years active, 3 years active reserve time, 2 year inactive reserve time. I reenlisted for 20K in 1989 (6 years active duty) and reserve time went away. In all honesty if you join the military these days more than likely you will be deployed to either Iraq, Afghanistan or the Horn of Africa. This is just a fact of life and don't let anyone else tell you different. Currently for instance the Navy has over 10K on the ground in the Middle East. They are reservists and active duty. Many are on convoy duty as we speak carrying guns and other stuff. Just don't be one of those people who sign up and then wonder why they got deployed. My advice is have fun if you join the military.

Why not the Coast Guard? I know it's not fighting in Iraq/Afghanistan but it is still a very noble and vital branch in this war...we need more good young men and women to protect our coastlands and stop the illegal flow of drugs/weapons or you could also go with the Border Patrol guaranteed action in your first duty assignment, Customs Enforcement is always looking for new agents....

![]() 1. Yes, Jimmy Carter was a bad president. He is, however, a good man. Bush is a piece of crap as a president and a human being. 2. If I've offended your (or anyone else's) delicate neocon sensitivities by offering my opinion, I can assure you, I don't give a shit. 3. I don't really like coffee, and only drink it in the morning for the caffeine. So decaf is not an option. But thanks for caring. |

BTW I'm not saying that being in the military isn't a wonderful thing but we do need more people to help "us" (law enforcement) |

I actually took my ASVAB test in sedelia missouri for a coast guard recruiter. It snowed the night before and the roads were all white. When I finished the test, my recruiter never showed, but the army guy started to talk to me. I liked his spin and went for it. |
