the bonus programs is as stated to fill certain jobs that are critical.... BUT.. I have to ask why go into something that won't do a damn thing for you after 4 years in the armed forces be smart pick a filed that you quailfy for and and can use later..... or another branch and by all means see it typed in on your contract if its not there don't sign... I say this as a former recruiter... I never lied to anyone just to fill a quota.. and always said the military is like a bed of roses... this much beuty and way to many thorns......and never never trust anyone but yourself.

They offer bonuses based on what jobs they need to be filled. The bigger the bonus the more that specific job is needed, and so on.

If you allready signed up and have enlisted it should be in your contract.

If you havnt enlisted be careful the recruiter could just be saying that to get you to enlist rite away to fill his quota.

i have seen them, and that makes me beleive in the spirit leaving the body and thus an after life

Most people on this planet believe of such things as spirits, somekind of energy inside of us, or a soul, yet it has never been truly proven. It is a belief and nothing more and I am aware that most people will disagree with me because of the fact that most people believe there is such a thing inside of us that will somehow seperate from us when we pass away. Yes I am aware that there are also different stories on how it works also.

It is a ongoing debate with no end.

Perhaps one wants to believe this to feel better knowing that it doesn't just end when one dies and that there is still alot more to go afterwords and alot more to see.

It is in our human nature one would say, although I am contempt if nothing else happens when we pass away. That it all just ends from there. Into nothing.

have u ever seen a spirit

well i believe that the body is a shell that holds r energy and when we die, we will leave the body,our spirit r some people say soul is free of the shell,now i know i have been on this earth before in a differant shell,so i do believe,we have steps to go up in the spirit world there are seven each time u die u choose to be reborn into something u can grow and learn from when u have reached all seven u will have much wisdom and know what everything has been for.

Wow.. Deep! I agree.. No one knows.. That's part of why it's hard for me to buy into religion.. But, that's just me.
It was just a thought for we don't know what happens to us even if many claim they do. Perhaps this is a option. I know a wild option, but no one can claim it to not be true. Well yes many can, but those who truly are true with themselves would agree that we ultimately don't know.

Just like my friend has said to many on here that those who are truthful in heart would agree that we don't know and are ultimately agnostic believers.

So you would push them off or let go of their hand even though they are accepted to go to a place of serenity just like you.

The question is their such thing as a soul or are we getting it confused with imagination or feelings instead

I wonder if a soul has a color?

does a black person have a black soul? or a anglo person a white soul?

Well even a agnostic person dies. Let us say that you find out that when you die you end up holding hands as a spirit walking up a hill with many each with different belief systems.

There are some who are not happy and others who are. Maybe they are not happy to leave Earth so soon is one possiblity out of a hundred.

In the long run you are holding two hands that don't believe in what you believe.

Would you personally still hold their hands and continue to walk up the hill or would you let go knowing that you are accepted with your brothers and sisters to also end up in a place full of happiness, joy, and serenity?

I feel as though youre looking at me through your picture.

Personally?... I'm agnostic. But what you're describing is the difference between individual beliefs, and one common direction toward one state of being. Most like to be happy. I think any that would let go... don't want to be, or don't know how to be happy. Or maybe even don't deserve to be happy.

I can see laughing at the person in general. But being happy for their failures. it's is just not very classy

well, you could find a stray cat or dog or something....lol...j/k
