listen im going to level with you im 26 years old i been in the army for four years and i have year left i have been deployed for 13 months to afghanistan and been to 8 shit hole countrys in 2 years time. I have no money and its hard enough to pay my bills let alone work on my truck the only time i make money is when im deployed. this year i will make a total of 24000 dollars to risk my life in iraq (where i go in december) for this i will go days on end with out food or water and "hump" hundreds of miles. when i joined the army i decided i wanted to go out and be the best so i became us army airborne infantry, the fighting guys you see in movies. some of the best times in my life have been in the army and its where i met my fiance. just remember when its time to get out they dont have to let you out its called a stop loss/stop movement. and it will happen to me next year. you get out when they want you to and believe it or not some jobs or mos' s have been stoplossed for 17 years which is mostly intelligence stuff but dont worry about them consiquently there is only one mos (military occupation specialty) that doesnt certainly get deployed and thats the intel bravos. the sit in a room 2000 miles from the fight and decode stuff and send me on a wild goose chase to find a high priority target
for as long as they keep me in the military i will spend no less then one year in afghanistan or iraq and no more than one year in america. its not to be away from everythign you know or love if you want to know what its like email me i will talk to you about anything you want. i have done a lot in the army and am highly decorated and accomplished but keep in mind that at 26 i already have a nerve impingement have broken most things in my body and have had numerous surgerys with out painkillers or numbing in the middle of the desert (if you want the video and have a strong stomach ill hook you up)if this sounds like fun join up but remember that your recruiter is a lying piece of shit and his job is to get you in the door
