Well they get paid more, but you're usually the first to deal with land mines and such.... that's up to your own personal preference.
Myself, I'd pick sniper or some type of officer class so if something gets screwed up, I only have myself to blame.

I think it's a good idea, it's an industry that's just about to take off, in fact there's probubly never been a better growth forcast, it's hot. Engineering is a fine choice. I'd pick field marsfall or admiral but lots of guys like the handson outside stuff in the fresh air and sunshine.. Go fer it. The pays pretty good too.
You must be kidding here, why anyone would join a military which has lost its identity.
FROM PEACE KEEPERS, TO SECOND ON THE SH!T LIST
What are you looking for/ GOOD PAY?, SERVING YOUR COUNTRY ON A STUPID CAUSE?, OR ARE YOU LOOKING TO GET INJURED BY LOOSING A LEG OR AN ARM AND COME HOME FORGOTTEN BY A GOVERNMENT WHO WAS MORE INTERESTED IN KISSING AMERICAN ARSS THAN LOOKING AFTER YOUR WELL BEING AFTER YOUR SERVICE IS DONE???????????????????????????????

Don't pay no attention to that old guy kid, he's confused. Everybody knows there ain't no future in the peace industries.
Just remember your not doing anything for me. Your not defending me. Your not protecting my country. Your not helping anyone. Your being a tool for the capitalist system and a mechanism in the machine of post imperialism. If that's what floats your boat I say go for it.
Good comment Scott Free.
But that may sink his boat, oh well each to his own..............
What is your current educational status? Best to get your B. Sc. degree before you join.
He's young - he's still immortal.
It's impossible to explain danger to someone who's frontal lobes aren't firing on all cylinders yet. That's why the army recruits kids - I think it's criminal exploitation, but whatever... when in Rome.
Exploitation in the worst form, when they come back missing limbs or dead...................:angryfire:

Kid wants to join the forces, he wants to join the forces. I'm not sure pawing through earth hoping for the best with improvised explosive devices would be a choice I'd make - but to each their own. Some folks wouldn't care for endless flying time over an ice-cube infested ocean looking for submarines either. And ... some folks just like to talk....

I think most wars would never happen if people had any idea of what exactly they were fighting for. Unfortunately it's all too easy to talk immortals into fighting and they hardly need any reason at all; just a good emotional bias will do the trick.
Don't get me wrong. Some wars are worth fighting. The measure I use is if there are older people joining in. Typically you'll see all ages engaging an invader for example but the invader is almost always entirely composed of children. There is a reason for that.
Government should be held fully responsible for anyone injured from war under the age of 25. Under 25 people can't make decisions like should they join the army or not. It is a question with ramifications completely beyond there capacity to understand.
There was talk of limiting drivers until the age of 25 because of their limited capacity to comprehend danger, which (so the story goes) makes them worse drivers on average.
How can we debate limiting their ability to drive but have no qualms about letting them join the army?
Very strange.
Shadowed one until they could worry him from the surface. I've seen the North Pole a hundred times from an Argus at two thousand feet. I loved that noisy old bird.
I haven't seen one of them lumbering over Pictou county for decades, I was always ammazed that they could get off the ground. But jeezus the fly overs were impressive. What were they like to work in?
They rattled. They roared. They were cold. They were drafty. They flew like a schooner on high seas ... but they always got us there and back (a lot of times on three engines) I left in '78. The last Argh flew a patrol in 1980 or 81.
