My dad was in the army for 30 years he told me this -

Navy has good benefit, but you have to be at sea alot and away.

Airforce is for pussies, that's their reputation supposedly

Army is good, has benefits and good money, also always room to accel.

This is the AUSTRALIAN army btw.

I was in the Air Force for 6 years and I will tell you that if you get into the right career field you will not be away from home much at all. If you decide to work in the maintenance field be prepared to be shit on plain and simple. Thats what I did and I hated every minute of it. Get into Intel or CE (Civil Engineering) or something like that and I think you would be happy.

One of my friends is in the air force now. Currently in South Korea now doing tech training and is the technician for a few bases, the net and everything. Spends a lot of time playing games it seems but hes making under minimum wage. My cousin just got out from the National Guard, from training...not much info on that. But be sure you can pass the physical training, either branch...its not east to do.

snipers aint as glamouis as they are portrayed in games

1. you gotta carry all your food to the sniping point
2. take all your shit, literally, your shit when you leave
3. you spend long hours in one position, moving as little as possible
4. shooting your rifle is actually the last thing you ever want to do

My guess as to the reason the people in the "AirForce" are "pussies" is because the job actually requires you to be intelligent and possibly the people who are only in the Army/Navy are jealous.

Besides, there's plenty more to do in the AirForce than fly jets :)

As far as Australian Army is concerned, it runs great programs such as the Gap Year for those who've recently finished school (I'll be doing it next year). Which pays (In your first year out of school) $30,000 or more, depending on what you've done. You also get a $10,000 bonus at the end of that year if you sign up for "X" amount of years after that. The Healthcare benefits, Pensioner Benefits are also great if you've been in the Australian Army for a certain amount of time.

My guess is that Gaige is American and I've got no idea how the US Army works, All I know is it has plenty of funding :)

Good luck with whichever you choose.

Personally, I would join the Coast Guard, you would be able to stay within the United States, save lives, and your family would not be put under durress because you wouldn't be stationed outside the United States. If you want to fly, you could fly a rescue helicopter.

I would become a Hitman or an Assassin. But if I couldn't get either of those, I would become a race car driver, since it uses the same skills as a sniper does.

Rise up the ranks - make a military career out of it. That is, assuming that you survive long enough and fight bravely enough to get promoted. Who said you have to go back to civilian life?

Well you tell me, would you trust someone to do tactical procedures if he couldn't see that well without the aid of contacts/glasses? I don't think a sniper wakes up each day, puts in contacts before he goes back to camping his target.

given you only need to work for 20 years and be on a pension, i assumed you would like to do something else

theblindarcher wrote:is it true that u cant b a sniper or a poilet if u dun got 20/20 vision

for a pilot, i believe you also need to have a degree as well
