What made you sign your name and raise your hand to protect the good ol' red white and blue?

 

At the time I joined there was no war going on so It was a much easier decision in that aspect. My big reason was I just wanted to get out of Jersey. I was getting in trouble and needed a change..

 

I wanted a job for the next four years and get my act together, and now I have a career from what I was trainded in the air force, HYDRUALICS!!! I work on planes!!

 

***** and giggles


true story

 

I knew I was to dumb to go school, and even if I could no money. Can't work at burger king all my life. Chicks for some reason just don't like it when you say you work fast food? But I'm glad I did, it's been a great tour 7yrs and counting!!


Sea Power, Air Power, Fire Power

HooRah NAVY!! :YEAH

 

dont rock ur boat too hard in that water man


u just might flip it

 

They don't call us squids for nothing.

 

whats long hard and full of seamen

 

+1 glad as **** im out now though

 

Something I've always wanted to do from the time I was little. Now I'm a Staff Sergeant in the Army and loving it, seeing the world, 37 countries and counting

 

cant wait to swear in to the Army this week. my waiver for the plate in my wrist should be coming in any day now

 

I wanted to do something good in my life, and protecting my family and the country I love seemed perfect. Now after being in I realize that the school money is nice too.

Hell the Army is paying for my bike :-P

 

+1.......lived in a small town, had nothing going on, needed to do something.......****** hated it once I got there, though.

 

Weren't you the guy that was warned to wait a while before joining?......I would heed that warning...02 cents.

 

Family tradition and adventure.

 

i joined in the time of war because.. i felt i should.. because there are alot of lazy ppl out there.. that just want to be a free loaders.. but i am willing to fight for my freedoms.. IE: in iraq right now.. lol.. but all is good.. but if your looking for reasons to join.. you should haven't to ask others why they joined.. join for you.. not using others motives as fuel.. lol.. damn.. i made no sense..

 

i did it because im a jack *** and i need discipline. plus women love men in uniform

 

this is not bull ****,,,, when i was 6 i thought leatherneck was the coolist member of the GI-JOE cartoon,,,,,,,,,,,, and here i am 12 1/2 years gone and 7 1/2 till they pay me for the rest of my life,,,,,

 

joined to get some direction in my life and and yeah, i was after the dough, bu tthankfully it tuned out to mean soooo much more and now im goin agr and plan on doin my full 20 and retiring as a 43 year old young man!!! lol

 

yeah that helps too

its also nice to not be looked at as a hooligan and actually respected, and givin a chance to show my true self with out ppl judging me right away!
