Help/Support ► ...that suicide is painless. It brings so many....

[Kegluneq]

I am honestly surprised that Vice is the only one that has given good advice.

At this point, joining the Army is about the worst thing you can do. You will regret it, suffer, and probably gain suicidal thoughts if you don't have any already.

Seriously, things will get worse for you.

You make a good point.
Plenty of soldiers suffer from PTSD. Be very aware of the mental/emotional risks as well as the physical.

Apparently a friend of mine came across a suicide bombing. My other friend said that over the phone you could tell he was shook up.
I really don't know how to prevent PTSD, but you should look into the mental illnesses soldiers are likely to suffer from during and after their service.

It's not just the emotional after-effects.

It's everything. And if you intend to enlist this year, don't expect for conditions to improve at all.

 

[Cissy]

Well, depending on what kind of job Karate takes up in the Army, it might not be a bad thing.

A relative of mine's in the Army; enlisted years ago. She's in Iraq right now, and she's mentally fine. According to her, before she joined the army she rarely stood up for herself, but afterwards she came out a stronger and tougher person. I'm very proud of her.

Now if Karate intends on fighting in battle very soon (specifically Iraq) then sure, those things may happen. But hey, he may join National Guard or the Marines.

Hope you find the happiness of your life from the army.
Stay in one piece there... It wouldn't be nice if you were blown into bits.

try to remember the basics of cqc

 

[Shade737]

Good luck man I would never join the Army EVER.

 

[blinkboy211]

Hmm so yeah for all you know our troops might not be in Iraq much longer or at least not a bulk of them so you migth end up elsewhere. Also got to make it past basic training before your sent anywhere.

 

[Azrael]

For all we know, he can deployed to South Korea or Japan

So I've decided that I'm bored with life. But instead of being some emo little bitchcake [insert picture of random moderator here. Possibly Sam] I'm going to do something about it.

See, people have told me I'm crazy. I'm not crazy so much as my views are different from everyone else's. While some people believe wars and things of that nature can be worked out through peaceful negotiations, I believe that it's like an epidemic. Sure, we can get rid of those with the cold but it doesn't stop the spreading. In escence, in order to stop wars, kill everyone through an act of genocide.

My logic is clear and concise, to stop everything bad ever, you stop everything period. But I'm straying.

So I've been bored with life. I troll here so that I can find a minuscule spark in my otherwise dull life. And believe it or not, I have a thriving social life. So, lack of friends aren't the problem.

My problem is I don't feel alive. I can't muster the energy to be happy at something so simple.

So long story short, I'm going to join the army.

Maybe with my life on the line, will I be able to actually give a fuck about what's happening.

tl;dr: I'm joining the army.

why dont you do something new? maybe your bore because everything seems like the usual...idk how you live your life so if you have been in a rut, then i say change things up a little.

 

[Priss Princess Peckerpunch]

Can I have your stuff?

 

[New2Ya]

I'm against war, but I'm also smart enough to know that by just talking you won't stop the hate and aggression. You have 2 groups of people in that sense: the aggressive and the non-aggressive type. As much as the non-aggressive want to stop war by negotation, you'll always have to deal with the aggressives, on both teams.

So yes, you make a valid point in that sense.

Anyways, on to your choice of joining the army. I seriously recommend you not to, because it's people like you that are a danger when in the army. I'm not bashing you as a person, it's just your boredom of life and everything makes it likely that you don't give a f**k about life, and thus also not about someone elses. Especially when you're brainwashed by the army and makes you believe taht the people in the villages are evil people that want to destroy America, even though they are in fact tools themselves.

So no, I wouldnt want you in the army. That's the most important thing.

What would I recommend you? Buy a ticket off the continent and travel for a few months or maybe a year even. Just enjoy the grandness of the planet, enjoy the people that live there, the cultures, it's so much more than what you know. You're in your little world and you do not enjoy it, so instead of joing an army that makes you feel even worse, live your life to the fullest. Nows your chance!!!

By travelling on your own, you face yourself, meet people that you would have never known to meet, and you will become a much stronger person.

My travel last year made me so much stronger. It's still affecting me now, and I'm still growing progressively as a person, so much more than I did.

So yeah, stop the army thoughts and instead take a real risk. Go on an adventure.

I agree with this.

You would never catch me signing up for the army, war is fucking ridiculous in my opinion. Some people feel the need to join the army though, and that's something that you can respect when the person is fighting for what they truly believe in, however, you're just bored and trying to get a feel out of things.

There are other ways to feel without doing something you may regret.

 

[Chris]

[Vossler]

Godspeed man lets just hope you don't get shot.

 

[Angel]

Think well before you act. Best of luck.

That.

Good luck.

tl;dr: I hope you don't die.

 

[Genocide]

I wish you'd reconsider, but I doubt that's going to happen.
Godspeed.

you lie

So the thread title...It's like a song or something?

Opening theme to MASH

finally

inorite?

Have fun blowing shit up/getting shot at.

Don't die.

meh.

Think it through first. Do you even have a job in mind?

Multimedia something. The paper's around here somewhere.

Hope you don't get killed by Arabs

hurka durka, muhammed jihad.

Can I have your stuff?

I'm coming back...eventually. I just have to get many japanese women pregnent first.

But anyway Sam is not a Mod and hasent been one for over a year. Dont know why everyone thinks he is but meh.

Modly glow?

To Karate, Have fun being a tool of the government, If you wanted to add exictment to your life why not climb a mountain or yell ****** in an all black hood where drug dealers do buss. Both those things are alot better then the Army.

Well, I'm already a tool.
Mountain climbing would only be a temporary thrill I wouldn't get paid for.
And considering I'm already black, shouting ****** in the ghetto down the street from where I live doesn't do much aside from getting shot at on the bus; but that's an everyday thing.
~
Statistically, [where I live] I'm just as likely if not more so, to get shot up here than in Iraq. Ask Joe about the people shooting at the buses.

I've come to terms with the fact that I'd be going to Iraq. The only downside I see to this is dying, which again, I can do here.

I'll be learning strogner discipline, getting back in shape and getting paid for it. I live in Job Corps; a trade training facility who do only do 1 of the three: pay. But I only get 100 a month if I'm lucky. I'll also be going to college, getting my degree. I'm already halfway through. I'll be entering as an E2. I forgot.

I'll get to travel the world, fuck japanese girls, get pizzaid. And I'll feel alive doing it.

Joining the army takes a lot of balls (or a lot of boredom apparently?) and good for you that you decided to take initiative with your life and join the Army instead of something as irrational as suicide. The best of luck to you, my friend.

Edit: Oh and by the way, Godspeed :wink:

 

[Genocide]

Like the first post said, suicide is for pussy ass bitches; ala Sam.

 

[Lycanthrope]

Be sure to mung effectively if you kill a woman.
