I have to be honest I have been seeing a lot of commercials especially for the Army, Navy, Police force, and Fire department where I live. All those groups have one thing in common they allow ex-cons, alcoholics, former drug abusers, and other sorts in. But because I am diabetic I can't join or take part because apparently I am a liability.

Now for what it is worth, I would be a liability in some areas such as the Army. But the Navy?

When I drive by the recruiting office I have sometimes contemplated just walking in and asking if there was anyway I could sign up. But I am pretty sure I would know what the guy's answer would be.

Just god damnit, that is how I feel when I see those fucking commercials.

fuck them

but honestly these kind of organizations are pretty strict with their recruiting criteria, they consider you as a "disabled" individual and just because of that won't let you in.

i mean honestly you can work for the navy as a navigator or something like that right? no real physical activity necessary.

anyways, they do this for your and other recruits' protection.

cheers

yes.... i'm not allowed to join any armed forces because I have ECZEMA... so they're pretty strict. and I know down the road, that might be the only thing I'd regret not pursuing.

Haha I was just about to post this! Hi 5 eczema brother! But, they have a fairly good reason for it, and look at it this way: you get exempted from any future draft!

The real question we should be asking is: Why would you want to join the Army/Navy in the first place?

Dude the army gives you benefits out the wazoo. Cheap food (I think the commissary sells groceries at cost), sales-tax-free shopping at the PX, a pension after 20 years, great banking (USAA), free health insurance (I think), and only a slightly greater chance of dying than the average population. Maybe less because of the free health insurance LOL.

EDIT: also this:

Kind of off topic, but what's the difference between the Marines and the Army?

yeah he did.

it's kinda funny how i'm completely opposite. being singaporean, i'm to enroll in the army for two years. i would really like an excuse to get out of it though. one of my uncle's got out of NS through an ear infection (he wasn't trying to skip NS, they wouldn't let him in). unfortunately for me, the singaporean government became more strict and forces almost everyone to enroll now.
