Ok i have a 4 month old son to start out with , but i really have no career . I work paycheck to paycheck . I have been thinking about joining the arm yfor a long while now , I know you dont make major money but it is something steady and i know there is a chance i will get sent to iraq and possibly die but at the same time i am obligated to support my family . So if you were in my situation what would you all do .
BTW : Alice And Chains song Her comes the rooster is badass.
is your pay check to pay check supporting your family currently?Originally Posted by s13slider

When a child is on the line, you have to sacrifice a whole lot. Do you gotta do..

join the coast guard or air force instead.
What kind of job are you doing now? You married? Army may be a steady paycheck and support for your family but it also = months and possibly years away from your kid at a time. Weigh your options and prioritize your life. Look around for possibly a second job or a higher paying job you may not like as much. Joining is a huge decision. Whatever you do, don't join Guard or Reserves...active duty all the way.
barely enough , my parenst are loaded and they help , i aint gonna lie .
detailing at nissan and no im not married we do live together how ever.
so what are you saying exactly , you would do it if you had to ?
If I had no other choice, yeah I would.

bruh i'm in the same situation.. and have been thinking the same thing.. and truely i've been in the recruiters office about to sign and started thinking.. AIr force is the way to go imo.. i'm thinking about going in next year for sure.. i'm gonna wait till bush is out of office ya know... but man its depressing not having means of your own to do things you want and need..... my thing is to try and find another job and make money.. when it comes to a child.. you do what ever it is you have to do but as far as your child living with out you.. i be damn if my child has to go with out a father
walking tall machine gun man , they spit on me in my home land . best line ever.
shits true
Yeah, that song's about the lead singer's dad fighting in Vietnam I believe. Alice in Chains is awesome.
To be serious, though, I'd definitely take a look at the possible gains/losses for your choice. If you join, you'll be supporting your family but there's a possibility that you lose your life, or that you spend a large amount of time away from home.
If you don't join, I presume you get another / a more demanding job that provides more income; you might see less of your family, but you avoid the risk of serving in Iraq and situations like that.
If I were you, I'd definitely want to make sure that I was there for my son and my wife; you only get one shot at life. Your son only grows up once, you only get one chance to love your wife and spend time with her. I'd only go the armed forces route if you have absolutely no other choice.

pros and cons of the armed forces.... insurance and benifits for your child and wife.. gaurenteed work.. good pay... cons..... YOU DIE
good fucking post... reps for j00
If you think that'll lessen your chances of going overseas you're wrong.
do it!
Think about the benefits! Free healthcare FTW!!!
If you mean an 800mg Ibuprofen for everything, then yes.
Go to school
he speaks wisely and truthfully
Military hospitals arent that bad
Plus, he would be saving mad money with other things such as prescriptions and such
Trust me, 800mg Ibuprofen cures everything.
Plus, he would be saving mad money with other things such as prescriptions and such
that would bring the most money.. but it also costs money which he might not have at the time.. you could try sales at the dealership but that is a shitload of hours, you may make money, you may not. just a suggestion
if u can though seriously go to school. can't give better advice.
reps for you ndhs brother
I'm feel sorry for ya then.
My experiences with military hospitals were never horror stories. Plus, I'm thinking about his child. Military health care >>> no health care
thanks to all of you , and reps tommorow im jusytt o fucked up roight now , im fucked up right now even though i have a son and still my girl is sober so i dunno what im trying to get at but anyways thanks to al .
he's probably on beer #18 now lol.. he was on 14 an hour ago
shit about 22 actuallyt .
aren't you like 19?
just cause my age dont mean i cant drink or get alcohol
preach homie
being 19, having a 4month old son, and you said a girl living with you ( I'm assuming a girlfriend ) - it wouldn't be a wise thing to go into the armed forces unless it was last resort. I hate to be brash about this, but I would be highly surprised if you went overseas and came back to find her and your son still around ( at the age you are at )

The one thing i can say is that you pick up a skill. The armed forces is not for everyone. I know to many vets. that do not get what they need as far as health care or benifits. Look into getting your CDL's they make decent money...or go to school. Yes school. The military shouldn't be a way out of any situation, because it can turn into a bad experience. If your parents are loaded and helping you with finances find out what they did to get where they are and listen. If i could go back a few years and im only 24. So take a moment and really think. Think long, think hard and be wise in your decision. And if you pray....Pray long, pray hard, and listen. You'll know what to do.
Also he is right^^^^^....if she is just a girlfriend and you go off to the arm forces and they send you away which is a possibility how sure are you that she will still be your girl.
Life is happening time to step up.
Shits real out here. You betta keep a strap and learn somethin'.
If you dont think joining the army is the best idea. Why not try and get on as a county detention officer. They make decent money, maybe a little more than what you are making now.
Its steady as long as you dont screw up, and plus insurance is pretty cheap.
grand prix.....
Let's see..... 22 beers equals about A FUCKING PACK OF DIAPERS FOR YOUR KID!!!!!!!!! Can't make ends meet, parents help out.. That's all cool. But you waste your money on alcohol??? 22 beers lasted you a night? How long would the diapers last? Deeerrrrr... You're so cool posting while drunk.. DDeeerrrr.... Wow, your life is hard....Deerrrrr.... Maybe you make life hard for yourself, ever get tired of making bad decisions? Guess not. Being a man means sacrificing (if need be) for the ones you love. You do without, so they can have what they need. Roof, water and electricity they need, a underage drunk for a dad they do not. FUCK!!!! Every time I start to think you're all right you post some dumb, emo shit like this.
DAMN..
