    Careers in the Army with low deployment rates?

    As far as being a 'leader' goes I have held leadership positions in school obviously not as serious as a REAL military leadership where life and death matters, but a leadership role that opens my eyes up to what it is like taking a big responsibility is like. I never said I will listen to my...

    Just curious how do you deal with parents that don't support you with your decisions? usually, parents would cope with their kids decisions and then support them for it, but mine are stubborn. I even told them that if I listen to them I would most likely regret the decision

    Why do people believe that just because you are in the military you are a "machine"?

    I think you are dissecting my post a bit incorrectly but thank you for looking through my history because we seem to have a mutual understanding about certain things 1) I never wanted to be an officer for the glory of it (ie medals, uniform, Hollywood) I was a USMA candidate 2x--once in H.S...

    Careers in the Army with low deployment rates?

    I know there are death tolls in any branch but the risks vary depending on your job. I've come to terms with that a long time ago.

    Why do people believe that just because you are in the military you are a "machine"?

    I am not picking any validation sources, I was just watching military videos on youtube and fell across an individual who highly opposed it then the people that came to mind were those that were trying to prevent me from joining in the first place. Deep down, I know that if I don't go for what I...

    also understand that they try to impose unreasonable fears that come with being in the military (rumor, movies) and they justify it as reality.

    Careers in the Army with low deployment rates?

    It is not as much a factor for me as it is for my parents though. I am aware that there are risks (but the levels vary based on your job) and I have accepted it for what it is. I just want to have a successful career as an Officer. I know I shouldn't compromise with my parents--and I won't, but...

    Why do people believe that just because you are in the military you are a "machine"?

There are people who are against today's military that believe that when you are in the military you become a "paid killer for politicians" (I don't know if these allegations are directed...

    I have really been looking into M.I.--but outside of this fact; do you think an Armor Officer faces the same risks as an SF or Infantry Officer?

    Careers in the Army with low deployment rates?

    it not that I cannot make a decision its that my parents, although they are coming from a good heart, seem as if they are corrupting my whole thought process of what I want to do at the same time I don't want them to think "I did a bad job raising this kid" or "that is it, his life is going down...

    Careers in the Army with low deployment rates?

    I understand what you are saying but I want to do what I want without them crying over the decisions I make for myself. My parents haven't served a day in the military and they go by what they see on television and the reports of casualties and individuals that have been severely wounded. I try...

    Careers in the Army with low deployment rates?

    Hope this sheds some light in why I really created this post I have been interested in commissioning as a 2nd Lt. in the Army since I was a junior in high school and I still have that internal desire to serve in the military since then (5 years) I started school at a local community college...
