Sexy in a uniform is nice....but, that ain't what is important. Ain't nothing sexy about a prosthetic limb or a funeral after a run in with an I.E.D. Look into non-cambatant field speciealities....clerical...medical...mechanical.... even that is no guarantee.... got a friend who does anchorman work for Air Force TV. 6 months till retirement and now he has been shafted into convoy driver in Iraq. Just bear in mind....in the military during war time...no matter what your job....you can and probably will be placed in mortal danger. Sure, Iraq may have an end in site...Afghanistan does not. Please don't die. If I'm going to be your pen pal ...I actually want someone on the other side of the letters I'm writing.

Mo knows....... Just be smart about it bro and really check all your options cause the military is offering some really good incentives. You don't have to take the first thing that they flop out on the table.

You don't have to take the first thing that they flop out on the table. I've always wanted to know .. but it's a really dumb question... Is the military a branch like the army and navy.. Or do the army, navy, airforce, and coastal guard make up the military?

krupa Joined Thu 07/03/08 Posts: 18651	Mon 03/02/09 05:29 PM
Yeah doll...The military is comprized of Army, Navy Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard, National Guard and Army Reserves. No such thing as a dumb question honey.

"The only dumb question is the one you don't ask?" Haha. But thank you for clearing that up for me. =] If you had to choose one .. what would be the "safest" one? One where someone is more than likely going to come home from?

Coast Guard is no longer a branch of the military. It is part of Homeland Security now.

It is good to learn something new every day. The military can be a good experience......you just can't f**k up during war time. Just do yourself and your woman a favor......don't make any hasty desicions and you will do just fine. Best of luck bro. Let us know what you decide.

Renee'....if I was to join today....Air Force....for sure. That is still no guarantee that I wouldn't be put in the middle of a sh*t Storm but, it definitely drops the odds.

Coast Guard is no longer a branch of the military. It is part of Homeland Security now. So does that mean it's safe?
