We use A2's primarily, I think the army has some A3's and everyone is starting to get the A4's. It's a good weapon Link to post Share on other sites

chipinchair 0 Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 I am a Civilian but work for the Dept of Defense and specifically the Navy. I do weapons design and analysis of weapons systems. I rode on a bunch of US Subs including one that took on 85 tons of water and we all had to abandon ship -- that was a lot of fun. I do a lot of work with foreign Navy's as well. Peace.

Beautiful place...check out a bar named the Alteschimde (pub style) and have a glass boot full of beer.

They were attached to the 256th out of Louisiana and spent 11 months in Baghdad. They came home at 100% troop strength so we're thankful for that.Again, thanks for all you do and all the best!

STYLINHAWYN 0 Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 I'm not in the military but have recently been thinking alot about joining over the past few weeks. Just your typical poor middle class kid trying to make a living right now and bussing tables at the local restaraunts just ain't cutting it. Maybe you guys could help me decide in what I should do about this?Main reasons why I want to join1. Money and benefits 2. they pay for schooling3. need to do something with my life4. chance to travel (live in Hawaii, only been to Cali and Vegas)My father and about 6 of some of my closest friends all joined in the army reserves and about 4 of them (including my dad) have all went to Iraq for the war, the main reason why I didn't join right out of high school. But now since things have sort of mellowed out there, I just might want to sign up... Link to post Share on other sites

You'll get all of the benefits that you're looking for, without worrying nearly as much about going to Iraq... and even if you do go to the desert, it'll more than likely be Kuwait or Qatar, far away from the action. Stay away from the Security Forces jobs, though... might as well be Army. If you have any questions about the AF, feel free to PM me. Link to post Share on other sites
