Trebor. 01.03.12	the army is gay just kill yourself instead
Trebor. 01.03.12	If you're american anyway
Pentagon 01.03.12	what do you get tested on? Could I pass it by just playing cod?
theacademy 01.03.12	tell the army that you like a lot of indie and see what happens
TheArkitecht 01.03.12	@Trebor17 I'm English, not that I find an issue with the American Marines. @Pentagon The knowledge of my chosen job choice!
TheArkitecht 01.03.12	@theacademy I'll give it a go haha @sonictheplumber m/
Trebor. 01.03.12	the military is evil killing people is bad
Pentagon 01.03.12	You didn't answer my second question :(
TheArkitecht 01.03.12	@Trebor17 It's a necessary evil unfortunately @Pentagon Sorry man haha and I doubt it :]
Trebor. 01.03.12	no
TheArkitecht 01.03.12	Fair enough man, each to his own.
Adabelle 01.03.12	You going into one of the corps or regular or what?
TheArkitecht 01.03.12	If that's American I don't know the difference, we have regular and territorial here, but nonetheless I'm going into the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers as an Avionics Technician.
Hordewolf 01.03.12	"If you're american anyway" Like there's big differences between the western military anyway.
Adabelle 01.03.12	You answered my question perfectly, hope the interview goes well.
TheArkitecht 01.03.12	@Hordewolf yes, they're significant differences.
Hordewolf 01.03.12	Not for the dumb brickshits enlisting for ground forces going "in for the fun/kill". Those poor bastards that get sent away to carry shit around or make for a good distraction. Doesn't matter if they're from the U.S., GB, Germany, Denmark, France..
TheArkitecht 01.03.12	I can agree on that, people like that sicken me. I'm joining the forces because I'm passionate about my own country and have always wanted to do something related to engineering.
Hordewolf 01.03.12	Well, but people doing - let's say more complicated tasks or tasks in higher ranks are not becoming higher in number. Therefore they would need qualifications most of the soldiers don't have, the majority of soldiers that enlist here out of free will are in for the money or the "fun".
taylormemer 01.03.12	Air force all the way. Killing from the sky. m/
TheArkitecht 01.03.12	haha my job is within the Army Air Corps as I'll be repairing Apache helicopters so same difference haha
MrBirdoWordo 01.03.12	@TheArkitecht dont pull all that patriotic crap now, the real reason you're joining up is because you want to kill people and blow some shit up amirite? If you want to give back to your country can I recommend planting a tree or community service or something
taylormemer 01.03.12	Bro repairing apaches is community service
Acanthus 01.03.12	Personal opinion of serving in the armed forces at this time aside, I wish you good luck. I was set on going myself for 3 years, they loved me until I changed my mind.
TheArkitecht 01.03.12	@MrBirdoWordo no that's not the reason at all, I'm by nature not a violent individual and believe that violence is only necessary in extreme circumstances such as fighting terrorism and insurgents. @Acanthus thanks man!
Trebor. 01.03.12	you can't fight terrorism bro
ApplicationToHeaven 01.04.12	nato simultaneously perpetuating war and terrorism
Hordewolf 01.04.12	"you can't fight terrorism bro" ^ This. Also, terrorism is quite a shady thing.
WhiteTieBlackJacket 01.04.12	I had sex with the officer at the local army recruitment place. No joke. Not exactly the reason I went to begin with but sure as hell made me glad I checked it out.
Trebor. 01.04.12	I had sex with the officer at the local army recruitment place. thank god they got rid of don't ask don't tell am I right
WhiteTieBlackJacket 01.04.12	Don't ask don't tell doesn't mean shit to me. The officer made a good point during my visit which was that people should not die for a country who treats them as second class citizens. It would be one thing if my family was in the direct line of harm, but with the way the U.S. invades other countries, I don't see a point in wasting my time or risking my life.
Trebor. 01.04.12	I always wondered why people wanted to repeal don't ask don't tell, cuz like it's a good way of getting out if their was a draft
