I registered a loooong time ago when I turned 18. Interesting... A while back, they used to have all kinds of ads talking about it. I would have thought that now with the military stretched so thin, that that would still be the case. I guess there must be political reasons behind the lack of promotion these days.

I wouldn't like it at first because i'd be leaving my family & gf, but then again, if it means protecting them and people I care about i'd give it 110%.

Go!

They'd be doing me a favor. I attempted to join the Army (yes, during wartime) but was denied.

at MEPS after you swear in and everything, they make you read this paper front and back about not being gay and not having gay relations with other military personnel. It's fuckin' retarded and a waste of time.

but on a serious note, the only reasons I can see for being denied are:

1. You have a big criminal record and couldn't get the waivers to go through

2. Didn't pass the drug test

3. Didn't meet the weight restrictions

4. Severe Color blindness

there's probably other reasons...but those are off of the top of my head
