Sorry to see you go man. Good luck in BC.

Keep your spirits high, and you head low. Also, don't volunteer for ANYTHING!

Good luck, don't let the Marines take your Geekness!
May I ask why you've decided to join the marines? I would never join the military! I'd even move to Germany if they ever started the draft! I for one am not getting killed in Afghanistan (or anywhere else in the middle east)!
People like him are why you aren't drafted to go to Afghanistan... ;)Quote:

Good luck Squirrel_Meat - have fun! Be sure to stop by when you're through with boot camp.

I don't like war/ fighting any more than you do but if someone doesn't go there.. what's to keep anyone from making 9/11 happen again or letting our country be run by drug dealers?Quote:

I know the military is not for me by choice but if the need was there.. I'd join.. its worth it to protect my family.
Thank god for you guys! It's peeps like you who keep us all safe. Nothing but loads of respect for you! Good luck man!!!
I wish you the best, i know how trying boot camp can be, it takes alot to get through it, mentally and phisically, best of luck to you :)
Here is some advice from someone who has been there and done that :D
Look at boot camp like its a game. If you take it serious it will get to you. Trust me, boot camp is fun. I had a blast in boot.
When you get out you will be green and everyone will pick on you when you go to your first unit. Don't worry, its all fun and look at it as such. Don't take it personal. You wouldn't believe how many people take it serious and screw up their term.
Look at your work as any other job. Work hard and enjoy it, its what you get paid to do. Especially look at deployment this way.
Finally, you are going to establish friendships like you never had in your life. Be out going and try not to be judgmental. Hang out with over acheivers and try not to hang out with anyone that will bring you down and believe me there are some that can.
I miss being in the Military. I had some of the best times in my life when I was in the service and I hope you do to.

Hmm, its not exactly war that I'm against! Its this particular war that I dont like! I just don't trust Bush! He rushed us into this war much too soon, and sent troops to hunt down Osama even before we knew he was the one who planned the attacks! For a time, Bush even wanted to expand this war into Iraq!Quote:

Why do you think the third world countries hate us so much? If we had done things correctly from the start (I dont just mean in response to 9/11! All of the past few presidents have made terrible mistakes with foreign relations) we wouldn't even be a target for terrorism!
This is a horrendously naive, and uninformed statement... you just keep thinking that if we be "nice" and leave them alone that they'll just "go away"... *sigh* does history teach people nothing?Quote:

They had this debate on Politicaly Incorrect last night and there was a guy there (UN inspector former USMC) even him himself stated that bush is a moron and they should have done this whole thing through covert operations instead of bombing with b 52s and whatever and they would have got bin ladden.
ROFLMFAO HAHAAHHAHAHHAHAHAQuote:

And you base this on?
Btw in case you didnt know do some research on the CIA and the Iran contra hearings as well as some other cover ups.
You will see who are the drug pushers.
I know I feel so safe.......Quote:

Okay, I wasn't going to get into this but , HA HA HA. Oh God, I'm laughing so hard. Not that it's funny some canadians got killed but because I have this dark sense of humor. And there IS the fact more people get killed by friendly fire than by enemy soldiers.Quote:

I don't think we should really make this a political topic. I think Squirrel Meat is about to go on an interesting Adventure and wish him nothing but the best. If you guys want to discuss US foreign policy go to the cnn forums.
Oh and Squirrel Meat, in light of recent events, I would suggest looking over your shoulder every now and then and make sure Billy-Bob is pointing his boom-stick AWAY from you.
