Harabec Weathers Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 Are you sure Army? I know Ive mentioned the Marines a lot, but not the army lol. I also know of like 5 members off the top of my head who were, or still are in the Marines. As for army? Nope. @callitonHahahahaha that was the cheesiest thing Ive heard all day haha. Nice :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pronam Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 Maybe the thing could be changed into 'serving your country' or something that fits all instead of just the 'army'.Unless the OP was really targeting at people from the army. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheCalliton Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 I support the armed forces, and am gratefull that they do what they do, but i couldnt do that. 1. I have flat feet, so thats a downer and the army might not let me in2. asthma3. My shoulder, it cramps up if i stretch it wrong4. BAD allergies... i take two pills and a nose spray every morning5. I could never kill another human being unless they were attacking me personally or someone else6. I think im a bad shot7. My mom doesnt want me to be in polotics, the police, or the armed forced8. I get ticked off by people yelling at me, and it kinda makes me emotionally unstable (my dad yells alot when i do bad in school) as you can see, ill probably never be able to serve my country to the fullest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get ticked off by people yelling at me, and it kinda makes me emotionally unstable (my dad yells alot when i do bad in school) as you can see, ill probably never be able to serve my country to the fullest Well Im ridiculously flatfooted too lol, I have yet to find a comfortable shoe since most shoe these days have an arch support built into it. But Im flatfooted and can run all day lol, its not as much of a hinderance as its made out to be, flat footed people just have different impact points on the bottom of their feet when walking and running. -the asthma would be a problem, dont know how any brances would handle it because no one I know has asthma.-The shoulder, unless you had serious surgery, should get accustomed to use as you use it more and more. My knee use to do the same thing but you just gotta power through it. Eventually itll stop hurting because itll get stronger.-Dont know about the allergies, no one I knoe has that sorta problem.-Not every position in the military is frontline combat, raiding houses, kicking in doors, that sorta thing. There are TONS of things you can do that are not combat oriented. -Doesnt matter if youre a bad shot, you'll learn to be a good one lol.-Cant always live in the shadow of youre parents dude, you gotta do whats best for you. Hell when I told my mom I signed up for the Marines she started crying almost immediately haha.-As for the yelling part, take it with a grain of salt, dont take anything personally. When youre getting yelled during training, its not because they are attacking you personally, its to motivate you, push you past youre limits. ILl tell ya man, its works. When you have a big mean angry Ssgt running behind you telling you to run faster, lol youre gonna run faster hahaha. IT works lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I to have flat feet and horrable allergies to nature, and never think of killing another human being, thats not right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
