I guess you like the idea of constantly deploying!! you will make a good chunk of cash free money!!! Officer is the way to go in the military, bc if yur gunna be in, better get paid the best!!! make sure yu get a flying job, flight crews make the best extra pay

 

Go O. You put in the time and money to get a degree and you ought to be paid commensurately.

Although you mentioned that you were/are pretty fit and will return to your previous level of physical activity, a reconstructed knee will always present a liability to the military. How it will affect you is uncertain until you take a physical, if you're allowed to go that far. I don't know about Os, but when enlisted get their initial entry physical, we are given a PUHLES (physical, hearing, eyesight, etc) score, with straight 1s being the most favorable rating. Check out what jobs are available and see what the PUHLES (if that rating system is used for officers) score minimum is. The score you may personally be worried about is the "L", for "lower extremities". (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PULHES_Factor)

 

If you think I am going to salute you there 2LT you can eat a dick.....LOL

 

+1..... I hate butterbars. They make me

 

I pretty much ignore 0-4 and down. They are still on Similac at that stage trying to make a name for themselves.

 

I am.

 

He is so hardcore he will do back to back deployments for 26 months and 2 days straight like I did just for kicks.... and he will eat the boogers out of a dead man's nose....

 

Man, anybody in their right mind that has made the decision to join any branch of the service (especially during wartime) should EXPECT to be away from their family for extended periods of time. It depends a lot on branch of service and job, but if anybody's planning on joining the military to stay home, you should forget about it and get a job at your local fast food restaurant or grocery store and work your way up the ladder there instead. Sounds like the dude's took all that into consideration already Good luck on whatever you end up doing Ven-dizzle

 

Vendetta wouldnt last in the army IMO,that is if he acts in real life like he does on this forum.

 

Good luck to you if you decide to join. If you make it out to Ft. Lewis the first round is on me.

 

Is that your new fan?

 

Not every senior enlisted is respected either it really depends on you, ive met some outstanding officers and some shitbag enlisted NCOs and vise-versa . Just do your best and remember some pvts know more than you.

 

Respect, like anything else worth having, is earned.

 

Nuff said.

 

that knee will be the end of it......med waivers are a pain to get right now.....i waited almost 3 yrs for 1......and if you cant pass a PT test....go ahead and shoot yourself.....can you run 10 miles a day?

 

Apparently I wouldn't last in the Army because I give users infractions for breaking rules.

I'll let you know when I can run again.

 

yea good point.. I'm not sure about how Army Officers PT but the Marine Officer idiots can't get enough of running lol.. that's literally all they do is run run run run run.. I think it is instilled into them during OCS or something I have no idea.. but running sucks
