Wow interesting, the debt must be quite large?
People who join the air force in New Zealand never have to face combat because we have no combat aircraft lol.

teach english in korea? my little sister was there for two years, saved up almost $30k because the school covered her rent and fed her breakfast and lunch every day in addition to her pay. she didn't speak any korean before she went there either. she couldn't get a job in the USA she was happy with and just moved back again and scored an even sweeter setup this time. not sure if she is just super lucky or if it really is that easy...

I agree with Travis. It's fucking hard to find a job in Oregon right now with so many of our lumber mills having already cut back or closed down. =(
So wait? I'm bad? =(

....seriously?


by soldier I mean someone who takes orders, an "enlisted person". I do not mean the stereotype soldier, a member of the army.

air force technicians are still soldiers.


There's a reason why Air Force is often joked around and referred to as the Chairforce. Like the Navy, the Air Force has little to no fighting or combat unless you are a pilot or a marine/navy seal.

Being enlisted in the Air Force you will more than likely spend the better part of your enlistment working on jets or helicopters specializing in a certain part or engine, and making sure equipment is combat ready.

Being as the majority of the Air Force are not in combat on a daily basis they aren't as lenient with recruitment. In face, the Air Force is one of the most competitive branches to get into at the moment because of their technical positions and the fact they don't need a bunch of grunts to send into the sand pit.

If you are just looking for a paycheck I would suggest talking to recruiters for the Air Force, Navy, and Coast Guard. You will be almost guaranteed not to die or end your enlistment with less body parts than you started.

She is definitely super lucky; plenty of people have had really bad experiences as well, although perhaps some of the Korea-located denizens could help him avoid this. I think in general though without a college degree he wouldn't be eligible for many positions.

How large is the debt if we may ask? And what stakes do you play--so we can get an idea how long it could take to repay it.

Yeah, man. You won't be sent into danger, probably, but you will be sent in some capacity.

Coast guard imo. Being navy enlisted sucks. Most Navy enlisted guys are retarded. Trust me, from personal experience. And also, air force benefits suck. They, along with the marine corps, have the longest promotion waits and lowest sign-on bonuses. I would also HIGHLY recommend army intel. Hell, if you sign on as army intel, they will pay u a 25k enlistment bonus and teach you korean, and then send you to South Korea to interpret radio signals from North Korea. You just have to pass a very basic intelligence test. Check out MOS 35 in army. As long as your a reasonably bright guy who doesn't mind saying "good morning sir" 4034302484 times a day, you'll make a great intel soldier.

At least joining to Navy means that there is one less retarded now

about 15,000 to businesses. about 50,000 more on top of that to other poker players.

the 15,000 is the pressing issue though I would like to pay it all, obviously.

the stakes I play isn't relevant, poker is more competitive and I am less competitive and it was never really a right match for me in the first place.

Thats quite a bit :/
It's really sad to see people having to join the military because there are no jobs. But I guess if you find something useful to do it could be a good experience.

I really don't find it shocking you want to become a monk and I think you'll make a good one. Best of luck!

I've had thoughts of joining the military and this line of thought is basically where I ended up.

Travis please trust me on this. Unless you have an actual desire to serve in the military beyond monetary compensation, DO. NOT. DO. IT. You need to WANT to do the job and you will get weeded out in a few weeks of training unless you actually have the desire to serve.

That you seem to change your mind on what you want from life frequently and really radically.

You might get a non-combat position, but that certainly doesn't mean you'll be clear of danger. You could end up working on an airfield in the middle of the sandbox (my buddy is doing this) and come under attack. Hell, even being a cargo pilot or something like that carries risks, even though the likely hood of you actually getting a job as a pilot in any capacity is extremely low.

Less risk than other military jobs, but I wouldn't use the word 'safe' in regards to any military position. Plus, you're still always a number—if you somehow get stationed in the States and they suddenly have a bunch of voids in Iraq, you get to go, even if you didnt sign up for that specific job in that area.
