so what do you think so far bro?
i've been considering joining the guard, proly in early 09
how has it gone for you?
Lots of MORONS and STUPID 18 y/o idiots. Just get used to it.
Lots of real cool strong guys with good morals and values. Guys to have beers with.
Lots of red tape bullshit. Things are the lower end are less formal. Problems can be solved with a case of beer. If it goes higher up - even the simplest of things can take over.
Lots of drama-filled annoying females. Especially if young. Don't marry one. Stay awaayy.
The military is NOT for everyone. You could DIE.
The pay sucks. Go Guard/Reserve and keep the day job.
Lots of Idiots / Thugs / White supremecists / Bigots / Gangbangers. You get used to it.
Discipline really means "obedience".
The experiences will be something you can talk about proudly til you're 99.
So -- it's a hard decision, especially in wartime, but with due diligence - you can decide.
Expect your first introduction to the miltary (meps, rsp, basic, ait) to be "treated like whale shit" phase. You might as well get used to it now.
