Hmm. I'd definitely reccomend the air force or navy over the regular army. Then again, I'm no expert on the US military. You're majoring in something to do with computers, I think? You could probably apply for a techie position in the army, then, if you can't get a job elsewhere. I really don't know. I wouldn't, but that's only because I'm not a big fan of violence anyway. It's your decision. |

Air Force is fine if you can get a technician type job. My uncle was in the Air Force as an electrician, but he ended up having to go to Vietnam. So there's always the risk of being sent overseas. If you don't want to leave the country, try the Coast Guard. My cousin's applying there. Normally you'd do the National Guard for that, but they've been sending them overseas in recent years (lol, logic lapse). I'm afraid we'll still have troops in the Middle East by the time you end up applying, but if they withdraw before it comes to that, you're free to choose whichever. Until then I think the Coast Guard carries the least risk. |

If you think you can do it and won't end up dead then go for it. |

Given your personality (liberal pussy <3), you should stick to computer stuff behind the scenes. Good luck, mah d00. |

Blankz0rz would fuck them terrorists up with his made l33t skillz. You get extra manly points if you do it and with it probably tons of ass, so I think it's worth consideration. But on the other hand you probably can't waste your life and social skills spending the day chatting with us if you do go overseas. Decisions, decisions. I support your decision either way. XD |

The thing is that military experience adds street cred to your resumé. So it may actually give you an edge in the job market. ![]() Air Force gets to play with tons of high explosive munitions from a safe distance. That's pretty h4x. |

You should go with your first choice. Chances are it would really be the thing you wanted to do the most and you won't end up wondering what could have been or at least if it turns out being a bad choice, you know it was the one you felt was right and not the one you were forced to do in anyway.... |
