Blood and Gunpowder

[Angel Aries]

Hey-o.

You knew this was coming up, yes? Of course you did.

But this is a very serious question, and one Aries thinks demands everyone's attention:

When you become 18, when you become legally responsible for your own lil' big head, will you attempt to join the military?

If so, what branch? What could be your reason?

If not...well, Aries thinks that we might as well keep these things compartmentalized. No point in things leaking over. So, if you have a question about the military, ask away.

Y'all pretty much know Aries's stance on the Military. All the better that Aries be the one to put this up.

But before things get started, and therefore, out of hand, Aries just wants to say one thing:

If you do wind up joining the military, that's great. Aries'll love you like a brother, and Aries will be absolutely sure to mess with you, because Aries will be the best: A Marine.

If you don't, hey, that's your right as a citizen. If you don't join the military...well, just don't do anything stupid. Or better, just don't do anything stupid voiciferously.

That includes idealism. Nobody in the military has time for that happy horse-pucky anymore.

Well, I don't exactly plan on it, but if I thought it was needed I'd join up. Not as a combatant though, my belief structure specifically states that I cannot kill another human for any reason. I can fight back in self defense, but not kill.

My guess is that if I do enlist, I'll follow my already established interests and go for a Life Sciences officer, preferably in the Navy (After I get my HS diploma next year, I'm transfering to a college that offers a Marine/Aquatic Biology major).

[Gojira]

Well, I do not plan to join the military. Instead, I am going to college and get a nice degree in paleontology.

If I wanted to do anything with the military, however, I would try to get a degree in mechanics and egineering and design new ways to kill other human beings.

[Triyun]

I'd like to do Navy ROTC to help pay for college, probably go into strategy or intel for them afterwards.

[Libra]

In our current situation, I'd stay in the US to help organize and protect the citizens in our homeland. I won't get shipped off to fight, I'd help keep the rest of these people from biting eachother's heads off in panic.

well in 2-3 years you can expect to see me and aries running through iraq (if it lasts that long) killing a lot of guys ;D
