| Nah. Not a fan of sausage fests. I could use the workout and weapons training, though. |

| Damn wretched forum. To elaborate my answer as per instructed rules of word limits, I'd say no. I don't demand much from my country, and I do offer return by intellect-related occupations. It'd be a waste of time, for me at least, to join the military. |

it's over | we're so back | don't take this too seriously |
| If they pay me to go to university, I'm willing to be a jarhead. |
| I wish Cowboy Bebop never existed. |
| My parents, grandparents, uncle, etc. were in the military, but it never interested me. I only support war when it is in actual self-defense (like another country trying to invade yours)...not the illegal wars of aggression the United States (the only country I have lived in) military seems to like. |
 |
| i've had thoughts about it since i was a kid, into my teens, and even in my early 20s. i don't think i'd be physically nor mentally capable. well, ww3 is coming soon so we'll see xd @SupremeGod why were you separated if you don't mind me asking? |

| The military here is terrible, apperantly you get paid below anywhere else and there's almost no funding so everyone leaves. |
| I've been here way too long... |
| I feel like studying IT was a mistake. My dad's in the army and it sounds way more appealing. |
| MEA·MENTVLA·INGENS·EST |
| Nope, I really don't want to, and even couldn't mostly because I have strong opinions and don't like to be commanded My dad is in the military tho, I guess that helped too since I know how it works thanks to him and his testimony |
| I don't like killing people and I like being killed even less. Even if the military expedition was righteous, which let's be honest more often than not isn't, I personally wouldn't want to take part in any of it. |
 |
| No, I am not interested in aiding America's military industrial complex. Even in non combat roles it's still supporting the establishment. No more foreign coups and no more wars for monopolizing natural resources and capitalist market dominance. |

| The only question that keeps popping up in my mind is 'why though?' and, given that I can't come up with any plausible reasons, I'm going to go with a strong, confident and resounding 'no'. |

| Depends on what military we're talking about honestly. I'm not straight up anti-military and don't have any strong negative feelings towards our military. Regardless though I'm not qualified to join army so that's that. |
 |
| No, I will never. I'm not willing to and I don't think I will ever have the qualifications to join the military anyway. |
| I would never join the military since I rather work safe easy jobs. My own happinness comes from myself. |
 |
| You mean the government could give me a gun and pay me to do push ups while a veiny necked closet psychopath screams at me before sending me off to shoot people in another country?...Sign me up! |
 |
| Why would you join when can join a company that deals with """logistics""". |
| I thought about it at one point, but I never got to the point where I felt like it was my way out. I mean if I was kicked out of my house with no prospects or support and a few dozen thousand in debt, which I nearly was at one point, then I would have made some money to pay off my debt and maybe go back to school with more financial backing. |
| I actually wanted to for awhile but I caught the mental illness so I cant. Was wanting to join the air force like my uncle but now it's too late they wont let me join due to my condition. Basically i should have done it earlier but life got in the way. |

SupremeGod said: Would you join the military or no? I was in the Navy but i got separated Fellow Navy vet here. Were you US Navy as well? What was your rate and where were you stationed? I was an Interior Communications Electrician (IC) and was stationed on the Nimitz. I was separated for depression, but it would have been the end of my contract if the recruiters hadn't lied and tricked me into signing a two-year extension to my contract. I didn't know I was technically a six-year enlistee (normally would have been four) until I had been in for 5+ months. Embarrassing, to say the least. I wouldn't go back if I was elligible. Not only am I not okay with having to do push-ups to keep my job (I'm wimpy and couldn't build arm muscle to save my life), my division had major issues with bullying, which I was on the receiving end of, hence the depression. The job itself was fine, and I didn't mind deployment, but I didn't really have any friends for most of it. At the very end of my enlistment I did make a friend, and I met my boyfriend as well (still together 5.5 years later), but most of it was completely miserable for me. I would still recommend it for people who want to make decent pay with no degree (though doing the same job in the real world pays way better, but you will need some level of school). It's a great way to travel, as well as save money since you don't have to pay things like rent and utilities unless you go out of your way for a home. If you're willing to suck it up for four years and do a shit job, you can come out with a lot of money, as well as access to free college. There are also tons of benefits for military members, like free admission to stuff. There's lots of ways to entertain yourself without spending money. My experience wasn't good because I was with people I couldn't get along with, but plenty of people have good experiences. It's best for people with thick skin, which I lack. For those who are concerned about killing, in the US Navy, most of the jobs are not related to killing. Yes, you are still supporting the military which does kill, but the Navy jobs are primarily about maintaining the ship. You can get on-the-job trade experience and potentially turn it into a career after you get out. Feel free to ask questions if you want. |

| No, but I thought about joining the Coast Guard at one point, also, a lot of people seem to think every branch of the military is just for killing, pretty narrow minded view tbh. My oldest brother is an the air force in air transportation. |

| Not interested. My country doesn't have a military, but even if it did, there's no country on this Earth that I'd die for. |

| yes i wanted to join the navy but my eyesight wont be able to let me be |
 |
| I have the same issue my eyesight is very e=weak and I am also not fulfill the criteria of joining the navy. |

| If it supports the goal I want to reach, then why the fuck not? It was a viable option when I first graduated highschool. I just brushed it off because the career wouldn't support what I want to do. I have no issues with the work I'd have to do at all. |
| I don't think so. At least not in this point of time. In Norway there's conscription, so you're actually required to join the army when you're 18, and I was no different. I was deemed qualified by all the tests, but later I got "dismissed" because I had a history of smoking hashish. In the end I'm happy I didn't have to spend any more time there, so I consider it a blessing; I was supposed to be a royal guard, and I don't think I'd like it. |
| I'd join the Marines, so I can finally fulfill my dream of getting a piggyback ride as we joust with broomsticks, but only if the drill sergeant is asleep. |
 |
| As ironic as it sounds in this age, yes.If it means keeping your country and people safe even in the price of killing others then I will do it. |

SupremeGod said: Would you join the military or no? I was in the Navy but i got separated I spent 3 years in the US army as an infantry soldier(11M and 11B). Honorable discharge. I loved some of the training. Didn't like the work details and the constant inspections. I am glad I didn't reenlist because If I did I would have missed so much of time with my family. |
