Serving your countryvolunteering to summarily execute innocent civilians is not worth doing to get an an education (which, by the way, is not a right).

I volunteered for no such thing. The oath I, and every other US service member has sworn is as follows:

I, (NAME), do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice.

Being ordered to kill noncombatants would constitute an unlawful order, which the individual on the receiving end would have a responsibility not to follow.

As for education not being a right, it should be. Anyone that wishes to spend the time to better themselves should have the opportunity to do so. That having a government allows for this makes it preferable to the anarchist hell you're advocating.

Bulldogs eh? Haha, yep, I was in the 323rd Mustangs

Sheppard, heard that's a party base for tech school...sounds like fun!

I think you're thinking of Keesler. Keesler is the fun one. Lots of stuff to do, not too far from New Orleans. Sheppard is in the middle of nowhere in northern Texas. People bitch about how there's nothing to do here, but it doesn't seem nearly as bad as people make it out. Of course I'm here til mid june, so my opinion might change later on.

Ah yes, it was Keesler now that I remeber! My school was in Lackland So yeah...that was that...

Well, if you're mature enough to understand the basic principles of a military and can comprehend it's legality, then I wouldn't put you in his catagory.

What was your job?

[Pravengria]

I've noticed that there are few, if any, OP's concerning people who serve in their nation's military. Simply put, I'd like to make a thread where one could post what branch they serve under, what country, what they do, and how they like it. Also feel free to ask any questions you may have concerning the military or what it's like if you don't know!

As a footnote, I'd like to say thank you to anyone who's served, you do your country a favor!

I myself am in the United States Air Force, my AFSC is Security Forces, and I protect national assets within a major command.

Served in the Russian 58th Army, 135th Regiment for a total of 8 years. Rifleman and when needed a scout sniper.

[The Nuclear Fist]

Not in more than twenty years for my birth country, and not under its current government.

I am actually going up for the Air Force sniper program later this year. Can't wait for training! Did you have to go to school for scout sniper? Or was it taught within your unit?

[Aethrys]

No but your endorsing a society that seeks to profit off of the conception of murder. ( Sarcasim)

Actually, by joining the military I'm participating in fixing planes.

Well the 135th Reg was a Rifleman regiment, those who went to go for sniping had to go to a different school. So no, the rest of the unit didn't partake with us. However, when we weren't needed as a scout, we were outfitted with the rest of the regiment Also, good note, hope you're good at math friend you'll need it Good luck to you and make it home safely.

Yeah, they do the same thing to us too. And thankfuly math is my strong subject, so I'm hoping I can master this quicker than the rest of the group Plus I've had informal training outside of the school so, my chances are good. Thank you sir, and no worries, I got a pretty good unit covering my 6.

Yes, but what did you do? Cook? Drive?

[Defensor]

Yes.

You pay taxes. A portion (not much these days mind you) of your money goes directly to our Department of Defense...which funds the military...who uses the money and resources to so called "murder people".

So by your standards, you yourself contribute to "murder and slaughter". Good job.

Yeah that's what I was wondering

Well, even though we're from two different countries, You're part of the family. Trig will become your best friend My advice, learn how to do it on paper incase any calculator or instrument they give you to help deal with equations breaks. I don't know if they teach you that there, I know here we have to learn everything on paper before we're allowed to touch an instrument.

[North Stradia]

I'm not old enough to pay taxes. And when I am old enough, I'm leaving for Costa Rica, which is a free market nation with no military.

Yeah, so I've heard. Sniping is an art, and we are the artist (so my instructor says). And yes, we do all our calculations on paper. We actually are not allowed to use an instrument until the course has been completed. Then we are given training with the computers and readers. And yes, trig was actually my best subject in college and high school, so I'll be familiar with the terms right off the bat.

No, no, no, you're are extremely to the left, you hate free markets.

Oh, and I was thinking about going to the reserves for the army at some point, I'm not sure though.
