Military humour.. sorry. Tattoo's are allowed (to an extent), but yes, you can be reprimanded, written up, prosecuted, demoted, or removed from the military for their content. They've actually recently lowered their "no tattoo" policy, in an effort to increase recruitment, so you can now tattoo yourself, even on the exposed parts of your body while wearing a uniform. |

seriously. i've stopped giving a fuck what other people do. even the ones i care about. they don't listen. if they wanna be stupid and and do something that could get them killed go for it. that just means more for me. it's enough work making sure i survive everyday. one less person to compete with only makes it easier for me to get what i want outta life. |

Well, my father was a USAF officer for about 21 years, hence my living in 5 different locations. And no, he didn't go out bombing shit or anything. He was a navigator earlier in his career, and then moved on to bureaucratic and supply chain type affairs as he moved up the chain of command. Anyway, I reckon as long as you behave yourself, you should be able to dodge an Article 15 or a discharge. |

You're a fucking fantasy fucking idiot!!! Get your head out of your ass! i just got out of the AF!!! a year ago... read my posts on the "tantrayana monk" thread. this is probably the worst decision ne could make...especially right now. Save yourself! The USAF won't. My sugestion: move to the city, move to the islands, just move! We're all under bondage of our environment, no matter how "good" ppl may believe to have it. You will make top $$$ just traveling and working! Your experiences will be phenominal! Tell your recurter to suck your dick! And that your life is in your hands! Don't let him brainwash you. 1 sugestion; move to Maui, Hawaii. 2 sugestion; join a monestary, 3 sugestion; travel (especially to INDIA!!!) e-mail me for a serious discussion...i got many friends who'll tell you the TRUTH about the USAF, who all just got out. Some dug it, some hate it. (Myself, i was stationed in japan, and know i could have done Tokyo better on my own, WITHOUT THE USAF). Do anything ELSE but join the millitary. |

oh yeah, when i say this bid, it was at 108...very auspicios for a monk to see your thread at 108 posts, and it being about his past life in the military. You tell your recurter to stop banging thos 16 yrs olds (i'm from seattle, and when i finished tech school, i came home for recuriter assistance program, and found ot that they were banging the underagers, *and were married*) |

Okay. I recently broke up with a girl that was a so called "military brat" (both parents were in the AF, though not pilots) and I can tell you that it is no "easy" ride. First of all, be prepared to never live in an area for longer then three years tops. My ex girlfriend grew up in upstate New York, New Mexico, South Dakota, and Minnesota whilst her parents also made frequent six month trips to other parts of the globe. Also, living on an army base is not great. The entire family needs to participate in all sorts of drills and you'll be on call. You'll probably be used as a helping hand during natural disasters and emergency situations, which means your schedule will likely never be stable. The pay is not great. If you plan on raising a family you'll definitely need a mate that can provide more then you'll be providing. On the plus side, you get great medical insurance and a decent pension (after 20+ years of service). On the downside, you'll be a total patsy for 20+ years. |

How do I travel anywhere (or enroll into college here) if I have no money right now? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Just saying, right now I am in need of financial help. This may be a good thing, may not be. Either way it will be a learning experience, correct? |
||||||||

What about working on a cruise liner??? That's a pretty brilliant idea if i have to say so myself. Hard work probably, but you get to travel, and have no expenses for food or housing. |

cruise liners are giant disease vectors though aren't they? when i think about them i just picture old folks with no immune systems going on their next to last vacation and piles of wierd viri gestating in the warm dank laundry room. |

it may be a learning experience, but there are better ways to learn; you don't need to reinvent the wheel. |

Hehehe... Yeah. I quite like old people tho. I can always see them thinking "what a nice young man". |

I do however need to get a job to pay my parents back for that California incident, to go back to college to get a "REAL JOB", and learn some self-discipline and respect for others. It just occured that the Air Force (just 2 years of it) might be a solution to those three problems. |
||||||||

|
Take up martial arts, thats a good way to get self respect/esteem and discipline. |
||||||||

I did Tae Kwon do as a child! :D It was very fun. That's what I need to go back too, my life as a child when I was more consiously aware of important things and had my head on right. :] |
||||||||

|

Bah. You know what self-discipline is and you know what respect for others entails; you don't need to learn it, you just need to start doing it; there's nothing more to learn, and it is constantly within your reach. The money is a different matter, but you'll have to consider what you'll want to be a part of, if you want to support the (rather offensive/aggressive) army. |

You do have good advice, or at least are better in expressing what I am trying to say than I am. The Air Force part though, is not the Army. I won't be getting shot at, and I'll be on a base doing mostly errands the entire two years. But I can see what you mean about it still supports, even though it's higher up in the chain. I'm still entitled to make my own choices, but listening to others might be better. I'm taking every word everyone here has said into consideration. |

If I'm getting you right, you're saying you want to change who you are, take some responsibility and do more of what you think is right. This is generally a good thing, it shows maturity, but people often make mistakes in just wanting a change, any change and then they make rash decisions. Take your time to think about it. Think about what the army is: Will you be ok, morally, with supporting it? Try also to think about what kind of person the army will make you into (because it will affect you, you will be ordered to perform actions that you can't escape the responsibility for even if they're orders. But remember also that nothing(ness) determines you). Air Force = Armed Force = Army (It's the whole concept I'm talking about not some silly boys fight over which division is better). And if your main concern in this situation is your own safety, then you definitely shouldn't join because that shows you really haven't thought it through on the level of maturity you're trying to reach. About listening to advice: see the Nietzsche quote I posted earlier. |

look! if America invades IRAN, you die. you fly out, you get killed. talk to someone who was IN the AF. not so bad...BUT it's going to get worse. you have no money?! SOOOOO WHAT! the cruise liner...btw...excellent idea, i sugest talking to ppl on the hawaiin cruise liners...research it! Some liners treat you like it's the navy, they give you a normal job/then give you an emergency job, however, you won't be shipped off to the middle of nowhere. I was in the same situation...i wanted to be a computer jocky, and make big $$$. heh, wanted to make some $$$. but look around you! there's more options! |

leave him be. he obviously decided on the armed forces cuz he doesn't wanna try doing anything else for him self he wants the easy road. although there is always a price to pay later on. he doesn't wanna try and get a job. if he can't fuckin do that in the civilian world, do you think he'll make it in the military? does he think it'll help to have someone thinking for him and yelling at him constantly to do it? if that's what he needs then he's been lost already. |

Here's another sugestion: join the union...electricion, engineer, carpenteer...they pay for school, start out at a NICE wage, and when you become a journeyman you're set for life! much better than throwing away your potential... I did the carpenter union while on maui...LOVED IT! Outdoors, nice views, excellent pay! And best of all the co-workers were great... in the AF you get to many runaways... going to hell and back is easy...the road is wide...the road to heaven is narrow...and needs wisdom and merit. Which do *you* have? |
