Might get laid off. Thinking about joining army...

Have you thought about going to usjobs.gov and finding a government job? I hear immigration, obama's new administration, fbi, etc. are hiring.

SuperDave, I love you like a brother and YOU KNOW I don't bullshit. Do you honestly believe that you could walk into a recruiter's office and they would tell you THE TRUTH?!?!

Sweet Jesus... have you ever seen my husband print that he served but he did NOT volunteer?


Fiancee? When did THAT happen?

Well you are right, they need some people to teach Obomics and he can teach obomanemics. He will just have to learn the right way to count. He does have experience in math so that should be easy. I just don't get the 3+3=1

They wouldnt tell me the truth thats why Im posting up on different boards for feedback. Yea Im engaged, life happens sometimes.

The navy, coast guard and air force have more people applying then they have positions for. So they can deny whoever they choose and increase standards.

The army and marines have the hardest job recruiting during wars (for obviuos reasons) and thus are much more aggressive in gettnig people. Also have the easiest standards. YOu can even join w/a felony! (try that in the af).

LOL @ "life happening".

I hope it's a GOOD happening.

I honestly couldn't see after all that hard work to get educated to *throw it all away* by joining the armed forces. I mean, you coulda joined up years ago and had them pay to educate you, no? It just seems a counterproductive way to do things.

I am thinkin that a recruiter whether army, navy, airforce, whathaveyou will SAY ANYTHING to get you to join. Sorta affects THEIR bonuses, ya' know?

fug i'd say do it, personally i'd already have done it, fug what people here say...it's not like you're going infantry or combat engineer.
get a lt job pushing papers getting crunk in the rear with the gear.
the peeps saying bad idea are happy sitting in a cubicle whittling your life away ala the ofice.
military would be much more adventurous than being a cubicle warrior ala razorguns (lol)
