tonalwar 2004-12-12 01:55:56 ET well, i did it. i reenlisted for fort rucker. I got 10 grand tax free out of the deal. I signed for six years. something must be wrong with me.

Antipathy 2004-12-12 02:04:15 ET woah! 6 years!?? that means u have to be there for 6 years?! well, at least you wont be where all the danger is.

tonalwar 2004-12-12 02:11:43 ET no, lol not HERE per se. i don't have to be in the desert for six years. just in the Army.

Apollyon Gabriel 2004-12-12 02:20:46 ET wooo... that's pretty crazy O_o...

tonalwar 2004-12-12 02:21:14 ET yup

Antipathy 2004-12-12 02:22:29 ET ohh.. good. but still 6 years? thats a long time. my brother has 3 years left and that seems like too long for me.

tonalwar 2004-12-12 02:27:58 ET eh, i planned on staying in my 20 and retiring anyway

Apollyon Gabriel 2004-12-12 02:30:14 ET yea there is a plus to retiring in the army... but still sounds rough... that's one reason i'd like to go, but at the sametime i'd be kinda worried to go... not sure what i'd have to give up to be there... but the retirement plans are pretty good

tonalwar 2004-12-12 02:32:42 ET yeah, it definately took me a long time to get adjusted, but once you do, its not a bad gig. benefits are awesome and the retirement is really good. plus, i'll be retired at 43 years old

Antipathy 2004-12-12 02:35:26 ET i had thought about going into the navy but i decided that the only way i would do it is if James left me, because then i wouldnt have anything keeping me here. but i love james and he severely doesnt want me to go into any US military, mainly coz he thinks that i'll die.

tonalwar 2004-12-12 02:37:13 ET haha! well, i guess thats a legitimate concern. However, just because a person is in the military doesn't mean they are going to die. haha, i'm in the middle of Baghdad and I'm fine.

Antipathy 2004-12-12 02:56:15 ET ya but he doesnt wanna chance it. i mainly wanted to go coz the navy gives you free college.

TheKilted 2004-12-12 09:02:36 ET Class A Reenlistment? Did you get Tax Free cause you did it in a combat zone, right?

tonalwar 2004-12-12 19:18:20 ET yup

vasa 2004-12-12 21:08:40 ET Well good luck with that. I used to think I could do twenty but my heart isn't in it anymore. I am sure you will do well.

SubSonik 2004-12-13 05:05:35 ET Wow, good luck man, I think we need to find you a position stateside though =)
