contacted army/navy recruiter

[LiberalNation]

they have a good program. You get $10,000 up front in two payments and $1000 a month up to $30,000. If I qualify I am going to sign up. I think it will be a good oppurtunity. Just have to decide which branch is the best fit. Any input, I know some of you guys have been in the service.

[SassyLady]

What reason, other than money, would you be signing up for?

[LiberalNation]

something I have always wanted to do. I am more familier with army after doing army rotc but navy physical requirments are easier. To prove those who have doubted me wrong, to prove to myself I can, oppurtinity, honor,ect.

[SassyLady]

Have you talked to the National Guard?

[LiberalNation]

no I haven't, good idea.

I think the better deal was the ROTC scholarship you had.

[LiberalNation]

sure, but with it you had to train, that took time. This doesn't till you graduate.

Yeah, it was a regular class, right?

[LiberalNation]

more than that, it was 2, pt everyone morning at 6am, one class on tue, then lab on wen. Plus trips to the shooting range (I can't shoot an M16 worth shit) pool for swim qual, fort knox for land nav, they also said you had to join a club such as color gaurd or ranger challenge.

Yeah all that crap for a free ride through school and then a Commission as a 2nd LT..hell it just ain't worth it. Take that easy money and be a PVT instead.

[LiberalNation]

I'll still be a 2nd lt in the nurse corps.

Libbs - what makes you think it gets easier after you complete school? What you were doing in ROTC is nothing compared to what you'll be doing once you sign up.

You are confusing me .... do you think you'll be able to go to school and then walk away from your commitment to the military once you are done?

I'm having a real hard time believing you were in the ROTC program and still have the attitude you have. Did you not learn any values while there?

[Mr. P]

I'll still be a 2nd lt in the nurse corps.

Interesting..never heard of that program..if it came from a recruiter ya better check it real good.

[LiberalNation]

called the nurse candidate program, you can look it up online at their site.
