Military?

[Forgotten Show]

I would love to form a private, governmentless, countryless "Death Squad", or "Isolation Team" that intervenes in it's own business, where every conscript is an associate, and gets an equal share of the profit, officework and action. Something like an urban crossover between a Russian Mafia and a foreign legion, only there is no chain of command.
See, unlike 90% of American wimps, who dream of doing officework in time of war, or cowardly bombing the enemy from afar by means of hi-tech jets, I like to get a little piece of the action on the field myself, but not as cannon fodder for some ungrateful country, or it's corporate-governmental interests, for Myself&Company™!

1) If you have no country or government, what enemies do you have?

2) How do you plan to procure necessary armaments to fight any enemy you might find?

3) Do you have training in and a solid understanding of force multiplication?

4) Do you have the enormous funds to start-up any kind of business, let alone one in the business of armed conflict?

5) Will the nation you try to start your business in let you?

6) Do you have the technical know-how to combat organized militaries? Unorganized militias? Insurgencies?

7A) If everyone is equal, who organizes? Who leads? Who accepts assignmens/jobs/etc.?

7B) Do you know what a conscript is...?

8) What’s wrong with air support and bombing? By this, do you mean to say you believe you can overcome any armed conflict scenario you might encounter with boots on the ground alone?


Check yourself, bud. Your stupid's showing.

And there is case and point. although i must add that #1 is useless cause if one has no country he usually is an enemey of all... Although if your an enemy to everyone thats not a good thing....

here i wanna answer some!

1.Everyone
2.Black Market (NOT CHEAP)
3.Probably Not..
4. This one goes with #2. and no. theres a reason why only Princes's and Drug King Pins are the only private people with their own military.
5. H to the E to the double L to the N-O. "Mr presdient, Bob here wants to start a military, for hi sown reasons, and he is not allied with anyone" "Well Mr. SS guy... Hummmmmm Let me think..... Hummmmm... Private Military... no good reasons....and is supposedly not affiliated with anyone... Sounds like a terrorist to me, lets Nuke em!"
6. If he did i would love to see him try.. it would be just amazing to watch some untrained people try to take down a marine int he woods, or in the water.. Awesome.
7.A=no one is equal no matter how hard you try. B= I dont know what that is either...Ill dictionary it.
8.I would love to see you win any conflict with just ground troops. I can see this coming up on Dealiest Warrior "Non Affiliated ground troops Vs. People in trees" Who shall win!!!???

Black market ain't always expensive, Broly. You can buy a grenade for 5 bucks and an AK47 for 14 bucks in some back alley markets in Kabul.

Hey, I'm in the Air Force; I take offense to-

Ah, what the hell. You're right.

Lol jk

So August is going to be my two year mark in the US Army Active duty. I have many paths to follow as a Soldier and some that go to a Civilian. All of them will be hard desicions, and hopefully i will make th eright one.

So here goes my decisions/paths that i have a choice to follow or not.
1. Stay in Re-enlist hopefully go somewere i want and or get a nice little check.. on eor the other is fine with me, both would be astounding...
2.Stay in the last 2 years and get out and become one of those dumb civilians i hate on all the time.
3. (I understand if no one here favors this one) Finish tim ein Army switch to Air Force. I know I know, I can hear it now "The Air Force??!! What a Fag!1!!" Lol i know.. but after many hours of deliberation i have come to the conclusion that the Air Force is like 100X's better to be in if i ever want to get out. Alot of there MOS'es can be transfered to civilian life. Plus i would love to learn how to fly.. That would be somethin gi would really work for if given the opportunity.

So what do yall think? What are some of yalls updates?

P.S. Married life ROCKS!!! lol. i love my wife, and everyday she amazes me more and more with her power to defuse my anger with nothin gbut a tutch or glance.

My grandfather was in the US Army for 20 years and then he continued to work for them in Germany as an insurgence agent. My girlfriend's step brother all just got back from surving about 2 months ago. We don't know why he even signed up but hay as long as it worked out. Though I will never go to be part of the Army I just don't like the feel of it.

[ghosti5of6]

Air Force myself. Goin' on 13 yrs now that I've been in. Been to a couple places so far, but right now I'm in Jersey. I hate Jersey, but that's where the job has brought me. Though I'd much rather be back at Kadena, or better yet, get to the mainland, to either Yokota or Misawa. That would be sweet. I love being deployed. Gets me away from this place.
Most of the TDY's I've been on were blasts; 2 hrs of work, 10 hrs of chillin' out, grillin', playin' video games and watchin' movies.
I volunteered for most of the TDY's I've been on. That's how you get the good ones. Volunteer often, and they'll notice that you like to go, and will send you more often.
Oh, and did I mention all the extra fat cash you'll pocket...

You must fill me in on your Air Force life.. As i mentioned in my last post i am thinking about trying to switch over to the Air Force. I would like to know what life is like over there... I mean im pretty sure youve worked with army guys before so im sure you know what looks better and what doesnt.. SO far the only things ive really heard about are you all not really having to do any "details" because you have contractors do them.. which in my opninion is damn nere a selling point to me.. lol.. Ive also heard yall dont get screwed around with as much as some of us army dudes do.

[ghosti5of6]

Dude. Do it. Go Air Force. We get such better treatment... EVERYWHERE. When we go TDY, we stay in hotels...like, The Marriot, or The Radisson. We get the hook-up.
Really, come join the blue.
That, and really, do you want to go back to being a civi? Is there a guaranteed job waiting for you, with all the benefits, that also apply to your family? And to your future offspring? What about being able to travel around the world? Getting stationed overseas? Most people have to pay thousands of dollars to go places for a two week vacation, that we get to go to, for 2-6 years, fully paid for, and we get paid to on top of that. Whether it be Europe or Asia, pick your poison.

Ehh all that is what i was told when i joined the Army lol.. no offense. And yes we do get put in some nice hotels sometimes.. Just recently i went on a marriage retreat with my wife to a hotel called the Galt House.. Apparently its a 5 star, but do to some waiter in the resturant on the top floor i left a bad little note.. lol..

[Sir_Vlaken]

Im not in the military, im too young but those of you who are, Thank you for doing your part in helping our country ^_^

[Apostolos]

i am just the marines tho. just about half my family is military or has been

[ghosti5of6]

".. mabey you could fill me in on the Air Force life.. Do you like it? Not? Is it less Bs then the Army??"

I love it. That's why I've stayed for as long as I have. And as far as BS goes, you're gonna have BS everywhere you go. Sure, I have BS I have to deal with, but that's just apart of the grand scheme. And I'm not gonna say it gets easier the longer you stay in, and i won't say you'll eventually just get used to it. It's all about how you deal with it. As far as more or less... i think we have much less to deal with on a daily basis.
And sure, we have our stereotypes...lazy, pampered, got it easy, don't hardly work... Totally not true... for the most part. We just do things...smarter.

What's your MOS?

[RussianBoy]

I so envy that you, americans, have so great opportunity to serve in american army. If I had been civilian of the USA, I would have gone to the army.
Hey, maybe someone know, can man from foreign country to serve in american military?

I hope it's understandable.

Yes you can join the american military if your from a different country. but you must have all your papers.. like citicenship(sp?) green cards and what not, visa's.. im not to sure exactly what youll need but yea you can.. Good luck, hope you do join.. I always thought russian's had a Draft?

[RussianBoy]

I always thought russian's had a Draft?

Unfortunately yes, we have this stupid thing. If I won't be able to evade from it, I'll go to the russian army for a year, and after I'll try to join the american military.
But I really do not want to serve for Russia

[sugoi-san]

I'm in Aghanistan. o__O

That depends on your situation. A foreign person cannot, as you might expect, just up and join the US military. As Broly alluded to before, you need to do certain things first.

To enlist, you do not have to be a US citizen. You do, however, need to have a permanent residence here and a "green card." You can't join while you are still in Russia. You have to (legally) immigrate first and then establish a residence here before you can enlist. While you do not have to be a citizen to enlist, you can not reenlist or become an officer until you do and the US military will not help you do that (in fact, they can't help you). Also, non-citizens have extremely limited job choices. Non-citizen are not allowed to have any job that requires a security clearance (which is, again, only given to US citizens).

Also, and this is important, you should find out what Russia's laws are for citizens serving in a foreign military (unless, you plan to renounce your citizenship). Some countries see this as a form of treason.

I knew a soldier who went on here
Forgot his name

Ahh see i learned something today.. i knew some of that, cause it was kinda explained to us while in Basic..We had someone from Iran in our Platoon. But yea.. you broke it down pretty good.. i didnt know you didnt have to be a citizen.. i thought you did? Like i said i learned something new today.. lol.

[sugoi-san]

There's an E-7 in my unit that hasn't got citizenship. lawl.

[NorthOfTime]

E-7... that means he's spent over 10 yrs in the US military.. how the heck does he no thave citisenship yet?

Its great to learn...'CAUSE KNOWLEDGE IS POWER!

But yeah, a person does not need to be a US citizen to enlist. All they need to do is become a permanent resident. Citizenship becomes important when that person wants to reenlist, needs a security clearance for a job, or wants to become a commissioned officer (well, they need that and a college degree for a commission).

For example, you don't have to be a citizen to join ROTC, but you need it in order take advanced courses and be eligible for scholarships.

E-7... that means he's spent over 10 yrs in the US military.. how the heck does he no thave citisenship yet?

That is...a very good question. I am trying to work this out in my mind (although my mind has shut down at the moment...waiting for pizza).
