introduction

I'm an ex-Air Force US government contractor currently working overseas and I'm trying to become a reservist recon marine with 4th Force Recon. I had a serious self talk with myself about re-joining the military and thought to myself that I only have "one life to live" and growing up in San...

Hello, everyone. I’m just some guy. I’m 29 in a few days and considering joining the big Army. I know what you’re thinking, “Too dumb to join the Air Force, eh?” Almost everyone in my family was in the Army so if I go anywhere else it will be utter chaos during family reunions. I have hopes of...

Brethren, As I briefly stated when completing my profile information to become a tentative member of this site, yet further embellishing my personal information in this introductory note, I am retired, yet still consider myself to be a Ranger. Freely willing to embellish with whatever I...

I'm a civilian that grew up with military training unbeknownst to be-somewhat. I've wanted to join as a medic(or possibly psychological warfare) since a kid, but circumstances have halted such things. I still have a strong feeling I will join, but for now I'm just someone whom is indulging in a...
